And then you get one that recently had a nice big meal and end up rupturing its intestines, causing mostly-digested filth to ooze out over everything.

Hey, anybody else feel like grabbing a Sloppy Joe afterwards?

Actually I was surprisingly good at that shit. My mice had a high rate of survival. I didnt rupture stuff. (organizers euthanized them afterwards though)

I was kind of good at vivisection.

I hwve a picture of a biology class when I was still 13, holdi g a sheep’s heart in one hand and a thumbs up done with the other, an evil grin on my face. You can see my sick, uncomfortable lab partner in the background, trying not to fall over.

Oh yeah? Well I've eaten haggis!

And I liked it!

I want to ty haggis, but it’s not common in Ireland. Try porridge. Just always remember to leave it till it’s cold before ye tuck in...

[Loud Whispers]

Memories of haggis, scotch and dancing, flinging around a room in dancing circle to circle... Fond times to be

[Yoink]

Who the heck intentionally eats their porridge cold?!


...Oh wait, was that the joke?

I was the squeamish one in this tale. A friend of mine who is registered as blind, though has some sight, decided to hold frozen pigs' eyes up in front of his own eyes.

Whether he gained increased sight from this is a mystery which only he can answer.

I unnerved my classmates by doing dissections without gloves. I don't recall my actual reasoning at the time, possibly we ran out.

I see through the eyes of the dead! I ascend! Ia! Ia!

I did that in an anatomy exam. Turns out when a pass or fail is at play you don't care that much

[Imic]

Of course you only eat porridge cold! who on earth would have told you otherwise?

*Reeees in warm oatmeal*

[Kagus]

I had porridge one time when I was in Scotland, to get the true Scots experience. I was expecting something special.

It's just fukken oatmeal. Norway has a deeper porridge culture than Scotland.


I also asked the waiter whether the haggis I was served came from the Clockwise Mountain Haggis or the Counter-Clockwise Mountain Haggis. He said he wasn't sure.

[Telgin]

Had some microwaved instant pumpkin oatmeal this morning for breakfast, made with water instead of milk since I'm out.  That's probably like the lowest common denominator kind of oatmeal available, but I enjoyed it anyway.  Definitely better with milk, and who's got time to make it the slow way?

I'm also disappointed that I never got to do any dissections in biology class.  That year the biology teacher (yes, there was but one in that tiny school) was going through some kind of family issues and he really stopped caring.  Which was a real shame, since he was a really fun teacher during the years before.

Anyway, I've been irrationally depressed and demotivated for the past three days or so.  I want to blame it on things like being creatively exhausted from NaNoWriMo, and drinking less caffeine certainly contributes, but I know the real reason is that my gaming group on Discord has become substantially less active lately and it really just kind of hit home this week.  This has happened before and activity picked back up later, so I'm not too worried really, but it's a hard feeling to shake.

Just kind of cross checking the discussion in the American politics thread over the last few days, I think I'm starting to get some insight into how being so connected to people 24 hours a day can lead to depression if it's disrupted or it looks like your situation can change without your control.

Well, anyway, as I said it's happened before and recovered.  It's a kind of dumb thing to be depressed over considering the rest of my life is pretty great.  I think this is the third time in about as many years that I can recall a bout of depression related to this specifically, and the last two times it lasted about a week.  It'll be interesting to see if it dissipates faster this time, or if I'm as incapable of learning / adapting as it feels like sometimes.

Vaguely related on the mental train jumping the rails, the decrease in activity has let me get more sleep.  I'm alarmed that that has not translated to a significant improvement in cognition and memory, which I'd hoped was caused purely by chronic sleep deprivation.  I'm 31.  I should not be having memory problems like I do.

This is a symptom of depression.
