That's all good input, never really looked at it from that perspective! It is true, most of the time life is pretty boring, I suppose.

[Bouchart]

What type of life you lead is secondary - so long as you have faith in Jesus, you're fine. You get a ticket for the angel/saint joy ride at the front gate.

That's kind of a warped and poorly explained version of justification by faith.

Oh, hush your mush, mate.
If things are remaining chill then it's not so much of an issue - if you want the topic to change, present a new topic, rather the CAPS LOCKing at people.

This is Bay12, threads have few to no clearly defined rails. Especially the general discussion "Things that made you [emotion]" threads.

physical pain is painful

2 1/2 hours later it's finally starting to feel less like someone rammed phantom rail spikes through the bottom of my heels, though! Also the spine and legs are acting less like they just want to fall apart like a jenga tower humped by a viagra overdosed muskrat. Not having to catch myself on stuff to keep from falling face first onto the floor and/or whatever sharp corners are between me and it. It's improvements, I guess.

I really probably need to get new shoes. Or at least new soles. And see about three different doctors. Or something. Ah well. Future, hopefully before something vital actually irreversibly breaks. Well, breaks more, the spine's been well and truly fucked for years. Beyond the point of reduced usability. Etc. Goddamn US and its bloody health care system of infinite shit

Willy kitty hasn't been home for a week now. :C

[Xantalos]

Evidently someone new's doing the schedule at my workplace, because for the next three weeks at the least I'm booked for all the days I normally go to karate. This won't stand. I'm gonna be changing my schedule or somesuch soon as the new year rolls about.

You can take what ragged vestiges of my social life I have left, I'm used to not ever interacting with people outside a task-oriented context.

You can take away my happiness by having my job consist of mostly mindless labor and appeasing the greedy whims of hungry people with no real prospects for giving my life any purpose beyond helping make people fat, for now my sense of self-worth is low enough that I'll allow it.

You can take away my ability to stand up without pain by having all the counters be so low compared to me that they're at my upper thigh at best, I'll just work on my knees.

Sure, take all that stuff that's probably vital to my stable psyche in the long run, I was planning on gradually phasing you out of my life anyway so it's not a huge issue in the short term.

But don't take my fucking martial arts away from me.

Changes are going to be bigger than initially planned.

On a rather more inane note, it was suggested that there might be northern lights over my home tonight. There were none.

Depending on your latitude, the northern lights could well just be a slightly greenish blot in the night sky. Unless you live inside the Arctic Circle, they will never be very impressive.

Sweden? I had none either. And I was even in the one corner of the land that wasn't covered in a cloudwool blanket.

You need good friends by you :<
That pic describes me, of around ~6 years ago.
It got better because of very good friends.

I have recently received advice that addresses just that and has been a lot of help:

Act in a way that makes you feel you are OK with yourself, whatever it is, not so that people will tell you you are OK.

You should talk to a doc about plantar fasciitis. It's extremely painful, but totally fixable.
