Woke up at two in the afternoon. Wurg a blerg. There goes most of the day.

I lol'ed.  x3

D:
Why do you feed on my misfortune?!

ZETSUBOU DA

Probably due to the power supply failing.

That's what I'm thinking. I'll RMA the PSU and then wait and see if the problem comes back. It might take another half a year before it happens again and I'll never be certain it's fixed. I just wish it was reproducible. It only seems to happen when I'm not stressing anything.

My mom's in Russia, and I have to go to a party tonight =/  I'd like to back out, but it's the person's 21st birthday and I'm apparently one of the two people that he wanted to be absolutely sure could come.

Also, I don't drink and it's apparently a drinking party (like, a party fully arranged around drinking).  Maybe I'll be able to back out at 9.

And I've now discovered that my friend who changed his name also drinks enough to have certain preferred alcohols.

*shrug*

You can tell them you're being the designated voice of reason, if they start pressuring you to join in against your will. If you do go, be safe, and don't be afraid to back out later. Dropping by for a bit might be enough to make your friend happy.

Woke up at four in afternoon myself.  No problem in itself, since its my weekend, but I do have things to do today that I've been putting off for a few days.

Ah, effective unemployment, it's amazing how time flies when you have nothing to do.

Yeah, I'll be going out of friendly obligation, but hopefully only for an hour or two (I don't want to be around for the bulk of the drinking).  It's also way, way more people than I'm comfortable with, and I don't know most of them.

Bleh =/

[Bauglir]

I know the feeling, had something similar at my sister's 21st. Good luck, and maybe if you're lucky there'll be non-alcoholic beverages available, and/or some other way of politely occupying yourself. I brought a shiny rock to stare at, but that may not be an option for you >____>

[ChairmanPoo]

Eh, whats wrong with having preferred alcohols?

[Vector]

I'll probably be freaking out in the corner, overloading, and wishing I could leave.  If I'm lucky, they won't push me to drink; I really don't want to wind up saying something like "No, I'm too neurologically unstable to consume your chemicals" due to stress.

Kweh, I'm tired.  Got to keep working, though.  I'll probably be bringing Gender Trouble "to read on the bus."

Eh, whats wrong with having preferred alcohols?

I don't recognize my friends anymore.  I want them back.

Why did everyone else have to go off and become sexual, more adoptive of the gender binary, preppy rather than scholarly, prone to ingest substances rather than keeping one's mind in the usual state?  Why the emphasis on "living a full life" meaning one full of these things, in which one does what one wants, often to the exclusion of what is right?  And why can't anyone else seem to admit that they're scared and alone?  I know it isn't just me.

Family's starting to pawn some gadgets to a pawnbroker; poverty has struck us. This kind of event never happened in a long time, so I wonder where the hell we went wrong.

[Jackrabbit]

Just learned that in the 14th century, my family name was Growcock.

I don't know what's worse, that, or that my family is probably responsible for quite a lot of email spam.

[kaijyuu]

I think the sad part is that it is no longer your family name.

Why does somebody stay asexual, utterly opposed to gender roles, scholarly obsessed and unwilling to take part in social rituals? Why are these things not necessarily right, and how are they exclusive to who they are?

 You have a point in being scared and alone, and people doing some things to deal with this in their own way is generally how people cope. It would be better if one had friends close enough to vonfide these things in. And it isn't just you.

[Vector]

I don't know why I'm this way.

That's why I'm asking why they're like this, because if I knew why they were that way, maybe I could be that too instead of being over here.  I'm not saying these things are right or wrong--there should be no moral judgment about them, at all.  The "things people want" thing was specifically leveled at a few friends who seem to have totally lost their moral compass.  Mine is fuzzier, but it's certainly here.

I miss my friends who were like me, and occasionally wonder if I've been somehow cursed.
