I've literally spent all day on the couch.

 

I feel kind of pathetic right now.

I have been doing this come and go for about 3 months the past year, seeing a psychologist next week.. I need more drive in life...

 

edit: also trying to get trough this whole thread for the 4th or 5th time

 

 

I know everybody says this but beside seeing a psychologist you can try starting on meditation and exercise. For meditating I can recommend the headspace app, the first ten sessions are free but you can just start over at session one when you've reached the end. I've been struggling with ocd/depression/unspecified personality disorder and a bunch of addictions for basically my entire life and besides getting professional help those two things really seem to make a difference. Personally I'd start with the meditation, just give it 3 or 5 minutes every morning after you've taken a shower, no matter if you choose to spend the rest of the day on the couch, it's a start to something better and maybe a routine.

Anyway, good luck to all of you.

Alright, I threw several cartons of eggs at the wall. Now to just sit back and wait for her boyfriend to show up.

This is great advice; I'd also add that yoga is the bee's knees for mental health and mood, I would never have thought so before I got into it but it's like the perfect meeting-ground between exercise and meditation IMO. I started doing the Yoga With Adriene videos, which are super-accessible for noobs like myself and strike the right balance of approachableness and humour and general soundness. She doesn't ram stuff that might seem wanky/new-agey down your throat although when that stuff is introduced it is in a way that starts to make total sense (again IMO). Would definitely recommend it:

 

 

Plus great for balance and toning up my rapidly expanding bellayyyy

Why don't you become a couple, then it wouldn't be weird if you heard each other having loud sex? Quickfix! You can thank me later. Edited October 20, 2017 by Gocab

thanks for the advice people

Tried that last year. Wasn't a great move.

 Well at least your boc obsession makes sense in that context.

It's the guys over 30 I feel sorry for

I just found 17 gigs worth of mostly great music that didn't make it from my old lap top to my new lap top for some inexplicable reason.  I mean, this is good news, but how did I fuck up so bad when I was transfering to begin with?  The entire Autechre folder was absent!!  I got this new comp almost two years ago, which means I've listened to almost no Auetchre in all that time.  Unfuckingbelievable.  How am I still alive?

 

AND I have less than 13 gigs left on my new HD, and that's with cleaning up as much as I thought I could afford to a couple weeks ago.  I guess some decent files are going to need to perish.  There's no other way.

I lost a contact a few days ago and that was my last pair and I don't have a job or insurance so I don't have money to spend on a new visit & purchasing new contacts or glasses, much less paying outright without insurance covering part of the costs (easily $200+). So for the foreseeable (pun intended) future all things three feet or more in front of me will be blurry. 

have you tried getting a bike? lol, no actually, just take some acid. (this is for sofa guy)

 

To the person with the thin walls, spanking noises carry and reverb through anything. Be careful or you might see a queue start forming.

Autechre are kinda forgettable imo

a very high person i didn't feel comfortable being intimate with tried to get me to have sex with them last night & implied they would hurt themselves if i didn't, so i had to stay up all night verbally de-escalating the situation with my roommates until this person finally left my home some time after dawn

feeling this very odd emotional mixture of being proud of myself for not compromising my morals, disappointed in myself for somewhat allowing this situation to unfold in the first place (by deciding to get high & go out dancing with this person when it should have been clear from the get-go that they were in a very peculiar headspace with motivations for the night other than "move around to some loud music for a few hours), overall kind of feeling violated as well because i had quite clearly expressed my current inner state (vaguely asexual & not comfortable with the idea of consenting to sex while high) to this person going into the night & they told me they completely understood, and then this shit happens

 

i just wanna make trax & workout my dudes

keep doin that man, let the emotions flow trough to the music (and muscles!).. u did nothin wrong and if u ever got the spare time do the ol afx aventuurs too! xD

cripes, a lot of cunts woulda just kicked them out, at least you had the humanity & patience to see the situation for what is was & did as best as possible at the time

 

someone like this clearly has deep-rooted issues & if this incident shows em that this aspect of their lives needs addressing thats a small price to pay for a messy night of special-fx

 

unless it was H Weinstein, in which case you got off lightly

Keep throwing eggs at the wall until your room is an aquarium of egg juice.

FWP: there doesn't appear to be a word in the english language that refers to all the goo contained within an egg, both yolk and white.

FWP2: there is no word in the english language that refers to a joyful and tragic event occurring simultaneously in one's life.  That would be a good word to have.  How does one go about suggesting new words for a language?  Is that an influential writers/internet hive-mind only thing?

 

Why would there be a word for that? They are two separate things. There's no word for all the goo within our bodies....

 

I bet there's a word in German for that. They do have some damn fine words.

We should start a thread for this, I was thinking of a couple of these recently:

 

1. There should be a word for the sensation of total futility you feel after spending time getting a sheet or blanket perfectly arranged over a radiator, only to watch it begin to slowly slide off

 

2. Likewise for the experience of searching for a specific pornographic video you remember, without knowing the title, knowing that you will never, ever find it (more a feature of my younger days than now, I hasten to add)

 

 

Wait, porn videos have titles? I mean besides "hot asian takes two" or "twink vs bears facial compilation"

You just need to stick to porns with catchy and memorable titles

Innards or guts would suffice for our body goo imo.  There is no equivalent for eggs.  I mean, you could use innards and guts for that too, but it would be more poetic rather than comfortably colloquial.  Yolk and whites are referred to together frequently enough to justify a new word encompassing that.

 

FWP: I was going to go on a walk to listen to the first part of elseq (for the first time), but then realized I hadn't eaten since lunch.  So I cooked, ate, looked at some old photographs and now it's 1:15am.  If I follow through with this plan it will be 2:15 by the time I get back, and I'll probably want to watch something to unwind, in which case I probably won't get to sleep until at least 3:30am.  Again.

 

I wish I had beer.

went down to a scrap/surplus yard to hunt for things to flip, ended up getting ripped off and now have an 8 hour project ahead of me before i can make any money

My cat just climbed behind me on the couch and immediately sneezed all over my neck. My hoodie is now disgustingly damp and I need to wash it. FWS: It already smelled like lunch and cigarettes so I kinda needed to wash it anyway.
