I have had some trouble making the adjustment to being an unemployed student again, so the past couple of weeks, while enjoyable in some regards, have been tough in others. (Menstruating hasn't helped. I really wish I could just go off hormonal birth control entirely, but that's not a thing that can happen for about another 15 years.) I am feeling ( Read more... )

Dear l33:

Do not buy the Loeb Argonautica. DO NOT. You have two Argonauticas already and whether you can be fairly said to need a third is dubious. You don't even really like the Argonautica that well ( Read more... )

I should be in bed, but I'm not. Consequently, this is a stupid rambly brain-dumping kind of post.

I am stupid in that I beam insanely when people like me or acknowledge me positively in any way at all and go about in a high. I don't know why this is, besides the fact that I don't generally think of myself that way. I don't love myself. There are days when it's all I can do to look in the mirror and say, "Christ, H-----, you're not half a ( Read more... )

So the AAA guy came and tried to jump me last night, after I had to wait 2 hours. And then it didn't work, so I pretty much waited for nothing. He heard a clicking sound when I tried the ignition, and thinks it might be the glow plug. (!!) Or, possibly, my fuel has jelled, which I don't think is the case ( Read more... )
