Speaking of which, I can't function properly. How am I supposed to eat away at my massive workload if I can't keep my eyes open? :mad:

Ditto. I can barely follow classes in school as well, sometimes wandering off into that weird half-awake state for a couple of minutes and receiving odd visions/images like some French guy trying to impale me with a spear or a mysterious blond that I have an uncanny feeling I'm about to meet. These 'sequences' scare the hell out of me, but I am also inexplicably drawn to wanting more, because they help me plan my schemes around them and they have this unfortunate habit of realizing one way or another.

It's hard to describe the whole thing. Not insanity, no....I know what that's like, been there, done that. It's like the edge of sanity, bordering on insanity. Imagine a circle, on one end you have sanity and on the other insanity. And right there just before you cross into insanity there is this weird patch, something I call the unsanity and from this ill defined area these sequences are coming.

The whole thing doesnt happen if I sleep enough, but I really dont have the time now to get my +8 hours of sleep. I fear I am slowly slipping into madness again and reading what I just wrote above seems to corroborate that. I just need to make it to the weekend without going completely bonkers and all may be okay just yet.
 
-_- I've been awake a lot longer than it's recommended or even healthy. I'm sure I've lost a few brain cells.
 
I expand the previous statement to include Swedish, German, French, Dutch, Slovak, Greek, Chinese, Swahili, Stanian, Weirdian, New Zealandian, Twi' Lek, Alienese, and any other language you can think of. :p
 
Why in the world would I associate with a woman who knew lojbon?
 
I just spent the last 15 hours in the ER. Went in at 4:30pm yesterday, got serviced by 10:30pm and was out at 7:30am today. Nothing wrong with me, my Dad was the original culprit, until 2:30am this morning, when Mom decided that she was over tired and over hungry and got real dizzy. So we got her a bed, too.

Everyone is fine and safe at home again. I finally get to enjoy the beer I bought on the way home yesterday. Yes, I am drinking at 8:30am. I had one hell of a night, and technically it's still going. Anyone else up for a repeat of Wednesday? I'll pass.

For the record, I start work at 7am. Needless to say I am not going in today.

27 hours without sleep, FTW!
 
I don't think it's right to keep my grandmother alive anymore. This isn't what she would have wanted. I think my grandfather is in denial. She can't talk, she can't move, she can't take nourishment orally, she doesn't open her eyes...she's only alive because of the peg tube. I think she's miserable. She's never going to get better and we all know that and I don't understand why we're deciding to let her continue to suffer. I talked to my uncle a couple of days ago (who actually just got sent to the hospital last night because of heart problems x_x) and he agreed with me. I don't think my grandfather is ready to let go of her but I also don't think he can really see how bad it is.

She'll groan or try and fail to clear her throat and he gets 'How's Shadow doing?' out of that and I'm just like :dubious:.

Blah. I don't know. :undecide:
 
I'm feeling pretty down today. I think I've somehow alienated a lot of my friends and nobody seems to want to talk to me. I've accomplished a lot of really great things for myself lately but it seems to be coming at the cost of friendship. :(

I sometimes feel the same way. I tend to not speak to people for a couple of days, and when I start conversations later they seem happy again. Friends are a strange, fickle thing. That's why I prefer to be a loner. ;)
 
I have to write 14 pages of silliness for Anthropology before Tuesday and I had planned vacation this weekend. (And I'm a CFC now of course) :sad:

I did some math though, and I only have to write a sentence or so every fifteen minutes I'll get the job done in time...

I can't stand people calling their girl/boyfriend "significant other".

what if its a person whose orientation you don't know?

"So, hows the girlfriend?"

"he's great, thanks for asking"

is just awkward, so people stick to significant other. as well, its also helpful in instances such as this.

"hows the boyfriend?"

"my husband is ...."

either way, my day has been INCREDIBLY ******. Like some things happened that i didn't even think could happen, so it was PAST murphy's law.
 
Last night I made lamb curry for dinner. The recipe called for an optional 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. My wife was helping me and reached for a 1/2 tablespoon measure of it (that's three times as much, for the metric users among us). I need a fire-breathing smiley.

And I sold one of our cars at around the same time for significantly less than I was asking. At least it wasn't worth much to begin with, and I managed to sell it for the same price we bought it. Still, there was an $80 repair I had recently had done to it, so the lost profit hurt a little. My wife was most decidedly NOT a happy camper last night.

How often do you know someone well enough to know that they have a significant other, and want to inquire how they are doing, but don't know their orientation or marital status?

I can imagine that awkard conversation.

"So, how's the girlfriend?"

"I don't have a girlfriend. I'm gay. I've been that way for years."

"You weren't gay when we first met!"

"Yes, yes I was."

"Oh."

*awkward balloon*
