I'm feeling the onset of "Why did I even try" syndrome. I'm probably just going to have to finish my associate's degree, put school aside and then get another worthless day-in day-out retail job.
That's what I did. Don't do it. Being the Assistant Manager of fa video game store is cool and all, but I regret not going back for my Bachelor's and being qualified to change the world every day.

Do note that that onset is more based on something incomplete, than a logical and beneficial signal to stop.
"Why did I even try" signifies that you had no idea what you were doing beforehand? It 'seemed good to do'? You maybe lacked info or knowledge to follow through?....or are there other factors?
All the words past 'syndrome' up there don't speak well of this being a 'warning feeling' ._.

Keep at it mate. Don't let regrets grow. They're like weeds--useful in only certain conditions (ie pushing you to NOT let them grow so you can cultivate better plants!)

Ugh... my anxiety doesn't seem to be going away.
Now I'm not sure if it was just anxiety, or if everyone suddenly dislikes me.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my appearance, as far as I can tell, and I don't think I smell... aaauuugh.
Everything is OK!
Maybe! I'm not where you are. But it might just be anxiety. Got a trusted knows-you're-crazy whom you can tactfully ask?
Those are really useful, I've found.
Thanks, man. I think it was just anxiety.
I've replaced it with new Sads now anyway. >.>

Ugh...mosquitoes. Went out to do some gardening (hand-tilling a 3'x6' plot to lay in some broccoli and cauliflower for the fall) and 20 minutes later, I am a mass of bite marks and thinking about that dude that died of West Nile virus the other week just down the road...:(

Don't understand why Asian tiger mosquitoes left my ass alone in China, but here at home the same goddamn species thinks I am omnomnomable.

No, they ate my fellow Americans alive. (The mosquitoes, not the Chinese).

I figured its because I acclimated to the local diet from Day 1, while most of the others were still eating KFC and Pizza Hut for a week or more. So they stood out more.

But the last week or two, the mosquitoes have gone from annoying to one step below Biblical plague level.

Crazy. There are a lot of mosquitoes around here lately, too.
I generally am their last choice of who to eat... probably because I'm anaemic. 



Current Sad: my mother. I don't think any more needs to be said, and I can hardly put how awful she is into words anyway.

Edit: Oh gods, now she just booked an Australian domestic flight through the airline's US website, causing her to be charged eighty more Australian dollars than she expected. This was a flight for me (to get from Brisbane back to Melbourne once we return to Australia) so naturally I'm the worst in the world.

And on top of that, the itinerary was emailed to the wrong email address, since she woke me up from a nap to ask me my email and I was half-asleep and mumbled something that was a vague combination of both my main emails. So yeah... it is kind of my fault, which makes it even worse.

I don't know why she has to freak out and verbally abuse me so much, though. Doesn't... really seem to help matters.

Don't feel too down about this. Everyone feels mad sometimes, and a lot of peopletake that rage out on other people, even others they care about deeply.  I used to get angry, and I still sometimes do. Your mum is probably under a lot of stress. That being said, I still don't think it's right to verbally abuse someone over such trivial matters, unless you're not in the greatest monetary situation right now. But the email thing was probably unnecessary.

Sometimes it can be hard to see things from other's perspectives, but I can't seem to help it. It's just kind of an innate thing for me. It makes arguing a lot harder, and also getting angry alot harder as well.

But, (this is my sad) alas, with this also comes the innate ability to only hate myself, as I can see other's reasons for continued existence, but not mine sometimes. And I have considered kicking the bucket early, but then I thought about all the people it would effect, and I decided against it. I also find it hard to define myself as a person, due to my sporadic actions and genderfluid mentality. Sometimes I feel likeI want to be a different me, but it can't happen, so I'm sent into a slump. This lack of self-definition makes it hard for me to find a way to carry on.

Sorry about all the sads at once, just needed to get it out, and this seems like a good place to do it.

Have another exam tommorrow, I might fail, I might pass, not too worried about it, not as much as I should be in any case.

Spoiler: Wall of rant (click to show/hide)

Anyways, this feels too long already so I'm gonna just stop here, not sure the rant helped much but eh, there were worse ways of spending time I guess :V

I have the feeling I'm going to be sitting in Toledo all day. Surprise! There is nothing to do except run around in circles saying "Yeah, that's cool" to keep the kids out of the other adult's hair. Then when I finally get a moment away from doing that, I sit around and listen to everybody discuss the same two or three things for a few hours, while I have things to do like mail back textbooks so we can have some more money.

And even after that, there's grocery shopping to do.

Apparently my country is getting even shittier whilst I'm away. :-\

Edit: I couldn't sleep much last night and this morning I look fucking awful.
Like some sort of ghoul, except not cool or scary, just depressingly ugly. It's a really nice day, too. :(
