stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Taken the day off today to last minute cram for my exam tomorrow and the module website is down.

Fuck sake!

now that i have a bit of money from making music in my paypal, i'm too scared to buy shoes that i really need off ebay because i don't want to see my money decrease, even though i have nothing else to buy with that money.

fuck it, i bought it, i was being a puss, i haven't had new shoes in two years and the vans that i like are no longer sold in stores. and i don't like any of the recent shoes that vans has to offer.

On the verge of crying, as I often am when I visit someone / have someone visit then leave [ / they leave ] for the airport / train station.

Much wobble of chin. So sob.

Should I have had my ex of 4 years come to visit anyway? We are still so much in love. It ended so badly and the pain is still there / so much love too.

Much problems.

I hope they dissipate soon. Healthy diet and exercise regime recommences tomorrow. Much future. So emo.

...what? Where do you live? China?

Probably uninsured America, where a minor injury grants you a big annoying bill and phone calls from bill collectors if you don't pay it timely enough.

I don't want to laugh at this (because it's really not funny). America sucks sometimes.

Feel better Dear deer... I hate pulled muscles, especially when it's really bad and the pain is there for a few days and you get a nasty twinge when you move the wrong way... Get that in my lower back quite often..

Yeah it's really awful to think about.. America has a long way to go before people can truly feel comfortable about their health issues.

Hope you recover fine and dandy Deer.

My wife got into a relatively minor car accident last month and went to the ER to get checked out. Spent a few hours there. Doctors were unsure if there was any nerve damage (there wasn't) and plonked her into an MRI. Instant $5,000.00. Additional $1,000.00 for X-rays. Clean bill of health aside from whiplash.

Fortunately the at-fault driver's insurance is paying, but the above might indicate why I was having serious anxiety attacks during my year+ of being uninsured.

yeah like baph said, the hospital bill would be around 5,000, i already owned them like 1,000, i will only go to hospital only if i feel like my life is in danger

BOOM

Just like that.. instant nightmares.

I have about 2000-3000 to pay off at the moment.. shouldn't be too bad.

Jesus christ... I feel for you guys.

Move to Canada guys, WATMM party in Calgary. We can get wasted on whisky mixed with maple syrup, fall down stairs, get hurt real bad..... and not pay for the hospital visit. =)

Tempting...

Stephen can you gay marry me into Canadian citizenship? Platonic, but not on paper?

surfing the internet is starting to feel claustrophobic (and im online just for 2-3 hours a day), i cant imagine being online for more than 5 hours anymore (the thought of it scares me)

there really should be a study on how being online affects the brain (im sure the reason these studies dont happen is because people would be in denial)

life is going to get really weird i think

There are lots of studies. I wrote a few dissertations on it a year ago; part of my "Digital Intermediated Communication" course.

interesting, ill do some goggling (lol)

it feels to me that people are okay with the fact that in the future everyone will turn into the fat guy from wall-e, like the thought of being online ALL the time and connected to the machine is exciting to people (similar to how will/i/am gets excited about technology), they are cool witht he fact that the future will be like a sci-fi story (correct me if im wrong but arent most sci-fi stories a warning about technology rather than a glorification?)

Facebook absolutely destroys my sense of self..

I'm a well intentioned human that tries to be compassionate and helpful, and I think to some extent I can be intelligent and clever in modest doses..In that regard i'm fond of who I have become. But when I browse Facebook and see people's interesting lives I wonder: the fuck have I done in my life?

Just adding this to your comments about the internet and our brain.

by the way im not against technology or the internet (in fact i think the internet important tool to send us into the next level), just a thought that popped into my head after realizing how surfing the internet is affecting my brian

Also fiz: people tend to portray only the best side of themselves on Facebook, rarely do we see people bare their souls regarding mental health issues, relationship worries, money problems etc etc.

Facebook is a way for people to craft their public persona, so naturally they want to be as bling as possible. Would be interesting to compare profiles of single people vs married people in terms of info provided.

A few papers or essays. Unless you are holding several doctoral degrees?

 

what? =S

Edit: oh, you're nitpicking on the word "dissertation". Whatever lol that's what my professor called them and they are 20+ pages each.

But no, I don't hold multiple doctorates. It really just means long, focused, quality essay.

Sorry I will edit my terminology in the future to say "long, focused, quality essay" lol.

Just got home after a twelve hour shift overseeing my shop's stock take. It's 2am and I'm due back at work at 8am.

These particular stock counters were absolutely fucking awful as well.

On the plus side, my taxi driver didn't have a pen to write me a receipt so gave me blank one, so at least I can claim back a few extra quid from petty cash for my trouble.
