I have just found the first person online who, within a day of poking around, made me desperately want to know them in real life.

I... *sigh*

I've got to spend less time on the net, or different time on the net, or something.

You could try contacting them online, depending on a number of factors, they may be open to establishing avenues of communication.

I've actually gotten to know a few people online. Like that crazy German communist janitor (who IIRC was actually born in Sweden or something). Or the really intelligent 12 year old Chinese girl. Neither of those lasted long, but it was interesting while it lasted. Give it a try, you might find they're as interested in you as you are in them, and you might even learn something about Karl Marx.

Shit i wish i could meet someone online, hell the closest one was Kogram and Angle back in colorado, i doubt any of you guys are in utah

Well the janitor I met, believe it or not, as a griefer on SS13, he was just weirdly philosophical and he asked if he could talk to me online sometime, I figured why the hell not, so I got to know him over AIM, which is not a client I recommend.

The Chinese girl I met over Omegle. You might try that...

I seem to have two kinds of days. Those that start out bad and get good by the end. And those that start out good and get bad by the end.

Someone remind me why I get out of bed in the morning.

Ponies.

Simple. If the day starts bad, by your own logic it will get better. I find it better to end a day on a high note, rather than begin one.

Ugh Doublepost.

Because if you don't, you forfeit any chance of making your day better.

Regarding meeting folks on the net, my roomie hangs out with some of his internet friends from neighboring states fairly regularly. One crashed here the other night... a bright and immensely cool registered nurse, who is great to talk with. It sucks that he's so far away, because I enjoy his company immensely.

Ehn... I've found that starting the day off well makes whatever happens after, better.

Thus I woke up at 3-4 in the morning for four or five years and spent four or five hours lounging about (including breakfast and room for an hour long ablution) before going and doing something else. Starting the day off mellow makes the rest of the day go down smooth~

As for getting out of bed... eh. Sensation started being enough for me a several years back. After not-feeling due to bad medication reaction for a few months, feeling anything became borderline bliss. Feel the wind, Janet. Feel the wind. It is sublime.

Is this... Real?

...

It was a given. Hugh Laurie said it months ago.

Besides, as other people said, it was getting kind of boring

Hate to say this, but I agree.  I watched a few seasons and enjoyed it quite a bit, but then it became clear that it was pretty much about UST and UST only.  There was never going to be any real character development.


Anyway, my sad du jour is that I apparently can't really eat (huzzah, another morning where I just couldn't finish breakfast, despite being ravenous), and I'm reading The Bell Jar.  That novel is brilliant, to be sure, absolutely brilliant, but it's... disgusting.  Appealingly so, but all the same it's real hard to read.

To spoil things a bit.

There was some development, Cuddy adopted a kid, she and house had a relationship, which then naturally got broken off, there was a whole bunch of stuff about house being an addict, trying to reform, failing, trying again etc. etc.

His team also gets swapped around every season. I'm sad about what happened to my favourite character though. 

There's also the endless mindgames. They're mostly superfluous and silly, but once or twice they're actually fairly in depth, like real mindgames are... Although real mindgames are hard to express on screen, so I guess that's why they generally stick to the old married couple shtick.

Ah, I should say: I got to season 5 or something, wherever the start of the section where he goes into rehab is.  I always really enjoyed the season finales, and I actually thought that the season with Amber was the best/most interesting one by far (though I've never been able to resist a tournament arc >_<), but somehow the intermediary stuff was not an attraction.

 My dad wanted to know about my financial situation with taking a semester off, okay fine I'll ge-

 gotta interrupt your own lecture on how you gotta know this and take time from that busy schedule to berate me on not focusing on things. Ugh, fine whatever, I'll get to explaining the situation.

 He doesn't understand? I must be lying about something. No way loans can be this complicated right?

 Show you the page? fine, I can do that. You won't understand any of it, ask what it is and proceed to repeat the first lecture again and berate me on some irrelevant  crap.

This is pretty much how my parents are.... They seem to ask "what do you mean X?" a lot. I mean X and that's why I said X.... Did I stutter or something?

For whatever it's worth, I feel you on that. Parents simply do not get it and do not want to get it. They think their approval or disapproval means anything at all.... Nope. Not when it comes to student loans. O, "what's that?" You don't like it Dad? It couldn't be that way because that doesn't seem fair to you, and who are we kidding, it simply isn't fair? Gee dad, I'll tell them that.... I'm sure they'll give a damn.... No, the problem of the last generation is that they just didn't care to look into things and the messy details, so things went haywire and now it's catching up.... "Make it simple." No, the world isn't simple.

Shit my dad just gave me one directive: his name is not on any promissory note :I
im stuck on the stafford loans and definitely cant move up.
