of living a quarter century (warning: rambling post is rambling)
So tomorrow's my birthday. I'll be 26. I figure it's been too long of too many just archived twitter messages and thought a real post was needed. Well, I've been wanting to post for a few weeks now, of various things. Of the major meta-ing i wanted to do when i jumped into the nu!trek fandom (yep, star trek has been keeping my attenting for a bit

I don't know if it makes you feel better or not, but I always that that your 20s were made to sort stuff out and figure out where you wanted to go with the rest of your life. Now that I'm out of my 20s, I realize that your 20s are, at least for a lot of people, the prime time to make all sorts of mistakes and somehow wind up in your mid-late 20s wondering just what the hell happened. I think that the people that have it all on a steady course just either....are lying or some kind of mutants. And friends really come and go... I'm 31 and I have one friend left from HS. The good news is you make new friends as your life changes and your job changes and your school changes and stuff. And geeze I hope I'm making sense and not just being some kind of prat.
Wanna be friends again? *hugs*

It sounds like you are sliding into actual clinical depression. Getting so apathetic about school, and down on yourself about your looks, and so on sounds to me like depression. Which can have psychical causes; heat and sun, or mild asthma, can bring on depression to people who are sensitive. Or it could be that taking a bit more control of things, getting more disciplined about your productivity, and making yourself eat healthy foods, exercise, and sleep enough could fix things for you; self-care is a must for depression, and I find that unleashing my creativity breaks the downward spiral. Also, try to make more friends, and make sure to have funs with the ones you've got.
Or you might need medical assistance, although it sounds like your case isn't severe and could be managed without pills.

dunno much about the new star trek (i think i'm the only person on lj who hasn't watched it yet), so i'll refrain from comment. i did see the new transformers today and omg it's CRAP.
bummer about your courses :( i flunked out on my first year at uni, just couldn't get up so early and there were WAY too many classes (nobody told me it's unrealistic to do double the normal credits and still SLEEP). it's not the end of the world bb. *hugs*
and by the way, neither is getting older. you're still way young. and some things get much better as you grow older and (hopefully) wiser. in lieu of a gift, i made you a crappy bday gif :)
