Well, Snow's gay enough for it, so he'd be a good option

I'm about 113% sure you would crush my hand into dust if I held her hand during a Brazillian bikini wax, Idun. Hold OK's hand instead, he's suicidal.

So I got this teapot as a gift from a Japanese girl. I pull it out and realize it is barely bigger than our tea mugs. Awesome. >_>

Grefter · « **Reply #53 on:** January 08, 2011, 05:06:43 PM »

Take it to work and use it for yourself.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #54 on:** January 08, 2011, 05:10:56 PM »

But now I need a teapot for two people! I'd have to like, go somewhere to find one.

Ah, my job.

Someone found 10 bucks on the floor and since Iam the receptionist of the gym area they always hand over the moneyt o me.

Like anyone is going to claim the money. I work at a super high class country club which makes me wonder why i work here in the first place...

All this means is that whenever people hand the money ove to me it goes in the "Scar's gas fund," which just so happens to be in my pocket!

I officially, really want a Kindle. Books for .99c, plus test driving the news/blogs reading -- OMG, I'd read LM.FR FOREVER.

Ohhh man. Okay. Emo moment. Emomo ment. Emomomomomomomomomoment. Emomo mint.
First things first, I am no longer gonna be online after this. For quiiiite a while. Long story short, I was borrowing internet from my landlord, and that's run out.
However. I'd be happy to pay my share for the internet, except I can't because the landlord's crazy ex is still trying to get me kicked out of this place. Sigh. Her name's still on the mortgage, so he has to take her opinions into account, but he's been going through legal battles for a while to try and get sole ownership of the house.
Did I mention we don't have a phone for the same reason? This means I have no internet, no landline, and I don't have the money to waste on credit for a mobile, meaning I have literally no way of contacting people outside of pre-arranged meetings and heading out and hoping they're at home - if I know where they live to begin with!
(I know I said about paying for internet, yet not paying for credit - that's because internet is monthly and I get more out of it, while I resent paying stupid amounts for credit when I could get the same and more for less money through internet/landline.)
I'm currently looking for work, which is made a lot more difficult when you have no way of contacting anyone. I'm most likely dropping out of my college course now in order to get a job so that I can keep on living in the place I'm living in, which I'm not sure I can carry on living in! Argh!
So I'm looking for work, except I can't get a job because I've never had a job before and every job wants previous experience, which I can't get because I need previous experience. Dammit. :/
Sleep pattern is fucked as ever - the fact that I'm posting this at 5.17am probably proves that! That really doesn't help when I'm meant to be looking for work and I'm sleeping during the times that the damn places are even open. >.<
Recently, I've had this strange thing where I want to kill things. I'll be honest, it's nothing 100% new, but it's become really weird lately. I had one moment last week where I was listening to music and somehow managed to imagine people burning. It was only for a couple of seconds, but I swear I saw people on fire, and lots of them. Considering my depression's come back again lately, I really wanted to go to the doctor's about the whole thing. Oh, but y'know what? That requires a fucking phone. Sigh. Fuck you, world. Fuck. You.

tl;dr - Living situation sucks, but at least it exists. Job situation sucks. Sleep situation sucks. General life? Kinda sucks.

Dude, get yourself over to your nearest friend or family member's place so you can call a doctor. You shouldn't put off dealing with your health just because of a shitty situation with your landlord. And it doesn't sound like you'll be in the right headspace for job-hunting until you take care of yourself, first.

Otherwise, hope things start turning around for you. Hang in there!

Bardiche · « **Reply #60 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:02:08 AM »

So my teacher had a heart attack.

Goddamnit.

Lady Door · « **Reply #61 on:** January 10, 2011, 09:08:46 PM »

Please yes, Yoshi, what Elfboy says. Take care of yourself first, and well. There's time enough to deal with everything else afterward.

Bard... is this... again? I recall someone's teacher having health issues in the past. Man, what. :|

As you'd expect after seeing two people post bad things, stuff is going pretty well for me. Work's turned a fantastic new corner and suddenly my dead-end admin job has turned into the grooming station for creative director. I have a mentor with excellent connections, job duties that mean something, and somewhere to go. I'd be more chuffed if much of it was my doing, but that this serendipity opened the channels for me to do what I do is good enough for now!

Still waiting to see if any of this new fabulousness is reflected in salary/official job title and duties. Even if those don't change, I'm committed to milking this mentorship for everything it has to offer before I leave the company.

superaielman · « **Reply #62 on:** January 10, 2011, 09:10:38 PM »

Sounds awesome.

Yoshi: For god's sakes, you have health insurance. USE IT.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #63 on:** January 11, 2011, 01:28:55 PM »

Managed to steal internet again, apparently.

Anyways, spoken to my landlord - stuff should hopefully be sorted out by the end of next month, which means I'll finally have some stability there, and I'm gonna be phoning the doctor's tomorrow morning, so that should hopefully sort that out.

In the meantime, I guess it's back to doing nothing for a while. ;o

Idun · « **Reply #64 on:** January 11, 2011, 06:36:32 PM »

In the midst of sudden morning boredom, I decided to run a background check on 100% of my boyfriend's family. The only one scott-free is his mother. I love her.

Otherwise, it is apparent that people in the State of Iowa have concluded that due to the significantly low population density, car insurance, valid tags and licenses are completely unnecessary. Who ever heard of seat belts? Definitely not those Hawkeyes/Cyclones fans! As Charles tells me, they are not criminal records - they are moving violations. Potato-patatoh.

LD: I can't imagine so, I only got him a few weeks ago.

Pitched in with the class to send a Get Well card and a chocolate bar. Secret of Mana chocolate bars improve health so let's hope that logic applies to real life!

Teacher: So how was your winter vacation?

Djinn: Awesome, I went to Tokyo and partied with my army friends in Roppongi and then shopped around Otakuland in Akihabara the next day! ...What did you do for winter vacation?

Teacher: Oh, I couldn't go anywhere this time, I had lots of moving preparations to take care of. My neighbor had an electrical fire and both of our houses burned down.

Djinn: ...oh.

Well, I -totally- topped HIS vacation!

DJ's post reminded me - I think it was one of his coworker teachers that had the heart attack. >_>

Also: I've not known chocolate to be GOOD for heart health, generally, but hey if blue M&M's can cure spinal injuries...

BEST NEWS EVER

My manager, who has CONSTANTLY been a stumbling block for my progress at work, has given 2 months' notice of resigning (or sooner if we find a replacement sooner). An awkward two months from now, I will be freeeee~

... Assuming, of course, the new one isn't worse. Hrm.

(I feel I should add here that my manager is not a bad person. She's just a difficult manager. Her preference is to micromanage and overdocument, which clashes HORRIBLY with how I work and, I feel, interferes with getting work done. She's leaving in order to finish writing her book, and I think that's a much, much better use of her energy! I'm happy for her -and- happy for me.)

Actually...

http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/reprint/170/20/1857?maxtoshow=&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=chocolate&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=0&resourcetype=HWCIT

"These data also suggest that weekly chocolate consumption may be as effective as daily consumption to obtain the cardiovascular benefit, since we found similar risk reductions of 24% among daily and weekly chocolate consumers"

Frequent (> or = 1 serving per week) consumers of chocolate in women have been shown in several studies to decrease cardiovascular events. It's decent data, although we could use more. Especially in men!

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #72 on:** January 12, 2011, 09:48:57 PM »

Isn't that only dark chocolate though?

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #73 on:** January 12, 2011, 10:28:56 PM »

But don't women already have a decreased chance of heart disease and are the primary consumers of chocolate? No time to read the article now, but does I'm hoping it addresses that particular fact?

Bardiche · « **Reply #74 on:** January 12, 2011, 10:41:51 PM »

We bought him dark chocolate, so it's okay. Intuitively, we are medically justified in buying the chocolate bar.
