Cutting is an obsolete method for balancing your humors. Use leeches instead.

Dumb trap. <3
I thought trap referred to trans people - 'faggot' may be a more appropriate (?) insult of endearment.
I use trap as in "Male-identifying people who can pass as female". I think Obj can fulfill that. Calling trans* people traps, unless they self-identify as it, is a little annoying :v To say the least. I mean, one's a man who is literally trapping you by saying "I'm actually a dude but~ teehee~" while the other is a woman with a dick* (*not always), so it's like saying "You're not really a woman, you're a trap!" Admiral Ackbar notwithstanding.

Plus, he wants to be a trap :v Far be it from me to label people as something they do not want, but also far from me to not label people as they wish~

So yeah, I coulda called him a durn faggot, but that'd be rude, because as far as I can tell, he'd never called himself a faggot, but has a trap. :v

Okay, Descan, but any enemies screaming "It's a trap!" In my RP are on your tab.

Naah, pretty much the same as us. It's that kind of setting.

This: http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/jun/10/supermarket-prawns-thailand-produced-slave-labour

Quote from: The beginning of that article
Slaves forced to work for no pay for years at a time under threat of extreme violence are being used in Asia in the production of seafood sold by major US, British and other European retailers, the Guardian can reveal.

A six-month investigation has established that large numbers of men bought and sold like animals and held against their will on fishing boats off Thailand are integral to the production of prawns (commonly called shrimp in the US) sold in leading supermarkets around the world, including the top four global retailers: Walmart, Carrefour, Costco and Tesco.

The investigation found that the world's largest prawn farmer, the Thailand-based Charoen Pokphand (CP) Foods, buys fishmeal, which it feeds to its farmed prawns, from some suppliers that own, operate or buy from fishing boats manned with slaves.

Men who have managed to escape from boats supplying CP Foods and other companies like it told the Guardian of horrific conditions, including 20-hour shifts, regular beatings, torture and execution-style killings. Some were at sea for years; some were regularly offered methamphetamines to keep them going. Some had seen fellow slaves murdered in front of them.

Buys fishmeal... from some suppliers... that buy from fishing boats manned with slaves.
It seems horrific enough to be true, but it also seems like The Guardian doing sensationalist garbage again.

Falling grades + lack of will to study 4+ hours a day = super worried

And anxious. Also nagging by mother.

I woke up not being able to move my leg for the second time in a few days. Stupid lymph node, always swelling and causing unbearable pain. It looks like I'm probably not working this weekend, dammit.

What's causing it to swell? If it's something that can't be helped, then... well, it can't be helped, but if it's an infection or something, then get it sorted. Last thing you want is some elephantitis-esque thing ruining your life.

I got blood work at the clinic just yesterday, still waiting to hear back. At least the pain's going down with heat and acetomenaphin this time.
