Yeah, this is why I feel they need to legalize and regulate harder drugs as well.

I do very little, but am perpetually exhausted.

Heh, that's what I like to do when I encounter cliché 'Legalize it!' people: Argue in all earnestness that Heroin ought to be legalized as well. Usually they're horrified - because weed is a 'good' drug, while Heroin obviously is an 'evil' drug. I take a weird sort of pleasure in calling out hypocrites, especially when they consider themselves toleran and progresiv.

By the way: As it turns out, giving Heroin addicts pharmaceutical Heroin tends to work better than giving them Methadone - at least in some cases. Why is this not done on a large scale? Why, because Heroin is 'evil'! So yeah, fuck society's attitude towards drugs in general - and not just its attitude to those drugs you use occasionally yourself.

I have to have a tribute speech written and ready to deliver in less than three days for class. I just can't seem to turn on the sincerity. Everything I write feels very phony. Almost like I'm doing it because I have to do it for a class, rather than from the bottom of my heart, talking to an audience that will mostly forget what I said the second I stop saying it. RIP GPA.

A roast is a type of tribute. If you can't think of anything nice to say sincerely, say something less than nice, but in a humorous way. Pointing out flaws makes the object of your speech seem quirky and human, rather than some faultless paragon whose boots you are trying to lick.

My dad came back from a doctor appointment. Apparently has nueruopathy, a "slow degrading of the nerves", which explains his chronic lack of feeling in his feet. No cure. Bummer. A reminder to me that he's old and shit.

Could be worse, I guess. At least it's not Alzheimer's or cancer or something. Yet.

[ChairmanPoo]

Which kind of neuropathy?

[Spehss _]

Which kind of neuropathy?

I dunno. He just said "neuropathy". I'm sure his doctor knows better than I do and told him what he needed to know.

Quick google search suggest it'd be peripheral neuropathy since it sounded like what he was describing effected primarily his feet and hands.

On the edge of asking why
You don't even want to try
The feelings all combine

Why do you write
in the form of a haiku
may I ask, just curious

This is no haiku.
Yet it is still a poem.
It's snowing on Mount Fuji.

Why must I be so incompetent at everything I do. Sure, I'm okay with numbers. But I'm terrible at writing, creative thinking, brainstorming, and basically anything to do with creativity. What us is it if I can do math in my head, if I can't also think of how to use them? Let alone the fact that I'm to afraid of rejection/nervous/cowardly to ask for help most of the time, and when I do I have to work up so much courage for the most trivial of things.

[Parsely]

You're right, but I just think that the adverse effects outweigh the benefits. As I've seen personally.

I'm with you on that.

Confession: I genuinely disliked and found myself uninterested in finishing both KOTORII and Planescape: Torment :I  I honestly feel kind of guilty about it. Heresy, right?

Actually... No not at all.

I don't know anyone who enjoyed KoTRIIs writing who's opinion I actually trusted, and Planescape torment is so incredibly overrated it's silly, the story and gameplay are both pretty awful.

If you enjoyed the setting and idea of planescape maybe hunting down an old splatbook about it might be interesting at least.

i'm home

at last, people who understand

EDIT: to elaborate, i feel like kotor 2 had exactly one good plot idea and wrecked itself railroading you into it and feeling smug about it, and planescape was so fiddly to play that i gave up after a few hours because i just wasn't having fun so i admit i'm not qualified to comment on the writing

[AbstractTraitorHero]

I was doomed in drama both my teammates bailed on me and they dosent show and the one with the master script could have moved away!
