When I was a kid, I once found a tick in my fucking ear. Scared the shit out of me, and I wonder to this day how I went thirty minutes without realizing a fucking tick was in my ear.

When I was 9, a fly once flew right into my ear (bbbzzzzZZZZT---  "OMFG GET IT OUT!!!")... and to my knowledge never came back out.  For all I know, it rotted in there.  Still bothers me when I think about that.

Maybe it closely missed and you believed otherwise.

...Because I'm pretty sure any kind of insect would be repulsed by the natural defense of the ear.

Earwax.

No... I felt it dig in.  And then I had my mom look at it.  She could see it with a flashlight, but couldn't do anything about it.  Too deep for tweezers.  Probably the most helpless I ever felt in my life.

Whereas strictly speaking, given equal damage, we should regard all parasites the same, for some reason visible parasites are particularily abhorrent, followed closely by fungi.

Actually, now that I think about it, I am disturbed by the perspective of any palpable organic not-me matter inside my body. I feel queasy when I read about abcesses in people's clinical histories and think on having anything of the sort.

Low Light Combat is not a popular game, so I can understand that there'd be no server up most of the time.
But when I make one and play with someone else why do they always disconnect after I kill them? It's not like it's the sort of game where you're likely to go long without dying anyway.

Diaries by sad cats.

That's absolutely hilarious.

Not sad.

Dear Diary.

The Authorities continue to taunt me, today I made an attempt to go outside, after what felt like a near eternity of singing the Authorities finally opened the door, only for me to discover that the outside area of the house had been rendered uninhabitable by water falling from the sky. I attempted to plead with them to change this, but they seemed to be indicating that they have no control over the weather.

Given their ability to create and dismiss both light and water at will, I find this hard to believe... The cruelty continues.

More sensually pleasing than the books I've read, but focuses upon only half the story.

EDIT: And apparently they hopskip around in the other episodes.

I have a very sore neck. I also have the first verse and chorus of Engelandslied stuck in my head. It has been stuck on and off for the past 6 hours.
Yes, I like the song. It's a U-Boat song circa WWI and has a warm, drinking song feel. But it is getting annoying.

Spoiler: Engelandslied (click to show/hide)

Heute wollen wir ein Liedlein singen,
Trinken wollen wir den kühlen Wein
Und die Gläser sollen dazu klingen,
Denn es muß, es muß geschieden sein.

Gib' mir deine Hand, deine weiße Hand,
Leb' wohl, mein Schatz, leb' wohl mein Schatz,
Leb' wohl, lebe wohl
Denn wir fahren, denn wir fahren,
Denn wir fahren gegen Engeland, Engeland.

Spoiler: translation (click to show/hide)

Today we want to sing a song
We want to drink cool wine
And clink the glasses together
because we must, we must part.

Give me your hand, your white hand
live well my sweet, live well my sweet
live well, live well
because we sail, because we sail
because we sail against England, England.

Parents left back home today. The next time I'll see them is in ~4 months, when we have the wedding. After that... I dunno.

I'll keep in touch and see them occasionally, but when we're separated by ~2000 miles...

[Sirus]

Boy, I feel THAT.

So this is my first visit to the sad thread (although I'm very glad I did after the Sad Cat diary, that's the funniest thing I've seen all week), has anyone posted "Eternally Us" yet? Its the single most sad-inducing thing I've ever seen played. If you can get through this video without crying, you may not be human.

It starts slow, but as it progressed I started to see where it was going. And I was right. It hit me right in the feels anyway. I think its probably the incredible voice acting that sells the whole thing.

[Putnam]

Cleverbot, you are a weak and pathetic excuse of something clever.

I know I'm damn late on this, but that's a damn good yo momma joke Cleverbot made there:

Yo momma is so bad at cooking, she is the eventual cause of the expansion of the sun!

[Sirus]

Well, just said "goodbye" to my parents. I won't be seeing them for a few weeks until after training is done. I won't even see them tomorrow. I feel homesick already and I'm not even gone 

[Max White]

Sirus your profile says you are 24.
I wish I still had a positive relationship with my parents.  Couldn't even last 21 years let alone that long.

[Sirus]

Yeah, I'm aware I'm one of the lucky ones. My parents put up with a lot from me over the years and I did everything I could to try and help them out in return. We had (have, I guess) a pretty good relationship, and the fact that I'm their oldest child means that I'm the first one to leave.

On the other hand, sticking around for so long just makes it harder to say goodbye. We keep joking around about how they're gonna have to do the dishes or whatever from now on, but I think we're realizing now more than ever just how close we've been.

It's not like I'm never going to see them again. Hell, assuming I graduate on schedule I'll be back (for a little while) in about 4 weeks. Still rough, considering I won't even see them tomorrow.

[Vector]

I've had only one day off and I'm already bored.  Like, really bored.

I played a buncha Mass Effect, I watched a movie (The Master, which I considered frankly bad), I watched some TV, and tomorrow morning I guess I'll take care of the aftermath of moving home, return some communications I'd been allowing to hang, and start my second book of translations.
