I was watching a show called Intervention. Each episode follows two people with problems: cutters, alcoholics, drug users, eating disorders, etc. You see the ugly side of their lives, the hopeless addiction, and the endless excuses. Then it concludes with the intervention, friends and family giving an ultimatum to get help or we won't be here for ( Read more... )

*dances*I had the bestest unexpected chat last night, the kind that stirs up the drama pot and leaves a gelatinous film on top. You know, that lovely fatty stuff that makes you sick if you eat it ( Read more... )

There is no such thing as a truly open mind and tolerant soul. In a recent story about a Japanese dating game about middle school girls, one commenter said, "Wow, who died and made you God so that you can judge others? Japan has a different culture and society then America or Europe. Why do you criticise them for that or expect them to comform to ( Read more... )

Once Sarah was talking to someone who complains a lot, always whining about how much her life sucked. It seemed, I was told, the only time the girl ever spoke to her was to complain. Fed up, Sarah finally told her she was dying, as if to say “top that!” The girl immediately fell silent ( Read more... )

I’d have to say that the folk on my friendslist write good stuff, sometimes short, other times long, at times silly, and sometimes serious, but all in all it’s always something I like to read in between work throughout the day. Otherwise, I might just go insane here.

Monday afternoon I IMed Tiny Favor Dude, who I talked about a couple entries ago ( Read more... )

There’s someone I talk to now and then. We don’t know each other very well, and we haven’t much in common. Moreover, he has several annoying habits, like the overuse of “lol”. It appears about every third line, thus the online equivalent of saying, “you know” or “um” all the time. But he’s only fifteen, so I try to be patient, allowing for the ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention, I got my packages and cards Monday upon my return, and it was like Crimbo in January. But never attempt mind puzzles right before bed. It messes with your head and your dreams.

And my luggage and I were happily reunited Monday afternoon. <3

You people need to get out of my head. For two nights in a row internet folk have invaded my dreams, and both involved books or classes as well. In fact, in the most recent one I remember I had to read several chapters for a lab quiz, except I hadn’t, and when I walked into the room there were many familiar faces, Sijo, PA, Fairy, Megumi on the ( Read more... )

It’s been cloudy and wet all week, but yesterday the sun broke through, and today it’s brilliantly clear and beautiful. I could almost forget I’m in the Rainy City. If the good weather keeps up, maybe I can ditch work early Saturday and drive over to the University to do some good old bookstore browsing and snap some pictures of passerbys ( Read more... )

When I feel like crap -- Did you know an acetaminophen OD takes several days to take effect, eventually causing liver damage? Perhaps it's time to put the pills away. *hums* Yes, bad, bad, pills... -- it’s nice to have something good pop up. With a bit or persistent encouragement, SamIam may join an RPG, which is an exciting prospect. Ekaterini is ( Read more... )
