OMFG these idiots blaring their music a couple streets down. The music sucks and it's way, WAY too loud, and so are the people. I can literally feel the bass in my chest. If a cop doesn't shut them down, I hope this thunderstorm does, either by rain or lightning. Or someone else with a gun. Because it's 9 motherfucking 30 at night in the middle of a residential area.

I bought a Raspberry Pi and PiBow case for it, but because I am an awesome genius, I forgot to make sure the case was compatible with a B+ Pi.

I do not believe it is.

You know, someone usually has to call the cops before they come and shut down a party.

They seem to have stopped as suddenly as they started. I wonder if it was the same idiots that keep setting off fireworks.

Right there.  Take your own advice.  If there's anything adulthood thus far has taught me, it's that there is always work to do.  Gotta set limits, even if you have to fight for them.

All sound on my computer suddenly died. At first I thought it was a YouTube problem, but nothing works.

Oh wow, LOTS of things are borking up now. Da fuq computer?!

Restart not fixing it? The sound on my comp dies fairly regularly, but it kicks back on after I restart/close a few programs. Flash/javascript and/or high memory usage programs in particular seems to lock it up for some reason, especially if I've suspended said programs with any regularity. Comes back when they're closed (well, when enough of them are, usually), but until then sound pretty much just stops working.

Gonna try a restart. Will report back.

It's not just flash or java programs lacking sound anyway, it's everything.

There's a chance that you may have the same problem I did. If that's the case, your sound will turn off whenever you stop using the sound for a while; it's some sort of weird bug with a power-saving feature. You can disable the feature, but it requires you to use some obscure setting manager thing.

I am really quite hungry.
Why does this bus have to be filled with a mysterious tasty smell, and plastered with illustrated ads for an online takeaway service?

[Tawa]

Because the universe hates hungry people.

I've felt that too, even today.

Problem is chiefly that every single thing on my to-do list is something that I really want to do, or something I'm doing to get AWAY from my detested corporate work and IN to academia and/or the creative arts--read, something I REALLY WANT to do. I just kind of panic when I see so many things on the list, and end up in a sort of decision paralysis mode. Used to be that when I felt like this I could just ignore whatever homework assignment, take a zero, and forget about it--which is why all my math grades are B's and I'm currently struggling to get into graduate school, despite kicking everyone's ass in class discussions. Stay home from class. But I can't stay home from work, and I can't just fuck around and ignore the fact that I've got a writing deadline for a game in two days (160 short situationally-appropriate worldbuilding conversations!) and an article I gotta write and a math textbook I gotta study. And emails, and snailmail letters, and packages to be sent for VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE and game design documents and asd;lfjl;asdkjflasjdflkjsdlf HOW CAN I BE SO BEHIND ON EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME

And everything takes so much fucking time because I'm STILL in therapy because there are Very Clear Signs Of Really Fucking Needing It remaining, which until recently when I got my second job was taking a whole SIXTH of my income (rent was more than HALF). And fuck it, I need to get into graduate school right now because there are SO many good things contingent on it that I don't want to go without anymore.

like

it's SO important.

But there's too many strains and stresses on my time, and Ludum Dare really set me back on the schedule I'd been following. My sleep schedule is still a goddamn mess :< And I'm dying for company that's not literally still a child, which is where I spend my time all day every day because I do not get weekends or any days off EVER, and just FUCK.

Because you have a hashbrown for an avatar and now I'm hungry and want a hashbrown at 11:11 at night, man.

Yeah, I don't have any advice.  That right there is why I'm still doing nothing more with my life than scraping by day to day gathering debt, dreaming occasionally about doing something to change my situation but really having barely any hopes for the future... because I know I can't handle working all day every day for long periods of time without falling seriously ill, and that's what it takes to break out.  Even just treading water only leaves me a couple hours a day to myself.

It's a shitty hand our generation is dealt.  Sacrifice our youths working frantically to the point of madness, balancing our schedules, health, relationships, and finances on the head of a pin in the hopes that years from now we'll succeed in building careers that don't make us wonder what we have to live for and stress over money every day.  Or resign into corporate muggle life, in exchange for a steadier pace and more frequent scraps of freedom to invest in indulgence of shallow consumer pleasures that bring just enough contentedness to fuel the routine.

If I was still capable of powering through all-nighters and fencing in stress with confidence and optimism (how I operated for a few years), I'd still be mad dashing... but I hit a point where if I didn't start setting limits, I was going to destroy myself. 

Ganbatte, Vector.  I hope you're able to keep those engine fires burning long enough to reach orbit.
