I wanna keep playing piano but one of my neighbors complained last time I pianoed it up after 10pm. Gonna have to go on a walk with the new meshuggah instead.

Strangely, I've never encountered that in the two years I've lived in my current flat. I frequently play guitar, work on tracks or play records past 10pm and despite my paranoia, nobody has complained..

My first place was like that I think just because it was so well sound proofed. Unfortunately we were just pawns they were keeping around until the building was renovated so they could rent or sell to someone else for way more money. The next suite I had was the bottom floor of a house, and we could be as loud as we wanted at all hours simply because the tenants above liked to do the same. In the place I'm currently in I still get away with watching movies with the volume cranked at 2am, but piano's another story I guess because the vibrations carry through the floor and the sound is constant.

Oh yeah, and my current first world problem is that my laptop's monitor is suddenly way darker than it should be. It does most of the Windows startup screen at normal brightness, then darkens partway through and remains dark. The effect is also apparent on external monitors that i connect to my computer. Does this mean the inverter needs to be replaced, or is it something else?

Fucking cleaning house and doing backyard work for Easter. Lame.

i'm stuck in mobile version

My coffee should have been stronger.

The Japanese system of party politics is not conducive to writing easy analysis. Feeling jilted by other nation's history and sovereignty.

lol

trying to finish up my BA. I've been taking classes elsewhere as a non-matriculated student and everything has been transferring over fine. now I'm trying to get my last 10 credits over the summer at my base school but apparently I'm Withdrawn and can't reapply till spring 2013, meaning I might not be able to graduate until next year. it just really puts a damper on my plans.. these last 10 creds aren't even for my major

fuck technicalities like that, it's such BS.

I spent most of the day browsing /dolan on reddit.

^^ lol

i e-mailed one of the guys from this band Woods, who runs a studio in BK called Rear House. He liked the two tracks I sent him(!!!), and gave me the dayrates for the studio, but I don't have any bandmates and I don't know if he has instruments there because I don't have a bass or drums and I'm too scared to ask now :(

I can relate to this so much. I once considered slippers and it was even worse.

I'm eating one of those lollipops with a paper stick, which is getting soggier by the minute.

A chunk fell off the engine block on my car somehow and I spewed oil all over the road before it died completely... a mile from my house. A $100 tow bill later, and I find out my car is completely fucked, and an eight year old engine with 90,000 miles on it would cost me $2800. I have $500 in savings and am getting $520 from a junkyard... so $1000 for another car, and my plans for getting my nursing assistant license have been delayed at least three or four months. Fuck.

On the plus side, I have a job interview on friday!

I'm at work.

Same :(

no problemo, me too, worktime is watmmtime

Get socks that don't have tight tops. Socks are awesome.

maybe you smoke too much ?

Skyrim has taken over my life and I struggle to find motivation to do anything else.

hey anyone can relate to this. To me it appears as some sort of group dynamic thing. where someone tries to occupy your best friend sort of thing. If he lets that happen and does not care, does not even inform you about the trip n stuff, fuck him. don't waste your energy on this. you're probably much younger than I am, at my age that kind of group shit just stops, or you don't care. In fact after your out of school, and/or out of college many ppl fall into a social hole. Lots of social contacts / so called best friends just dissappear. At that time ppl switch so serious relationships / family. Some don't. In fact you're lucky if you keep a handfull (at best) of true friends, that will accompany your life, even if you don't see them in years. as soon as you meet its like everything is just fine as it used to be.

ok i got carried away with false assumptions, sorry bout that I think I'm not much different, though. Lucky to have a handfull of friends, but they are all really old (childhood) friends. Most of them moved away..Without much trivia talk, because I know that you probably know that: I wouldn't put too much pressure on me, like when you say you seem not to be able to do the right things. I just can't believe that.

Relationsships are so fucking simple, there's no room to analyze what you should say, what you shouldn't etc.

You have a positive attendance on watmm, it can't be much different irl, imho. blame others and stay healty its mostly right anyway

well, he did inform me about the trip. he expects it to be a non-issue, and I guess it should be, but I feel bad nevertheless. I'm 27 btw.

 

none of this would be a problem if I were coming at it with a semi-decent outlook on other people, friendships, relationships, all that. as it is, I probably over-value every friend I'm lucky enough to have. it's a bad situation, it makes you a bit needy sometimes and then you have to fight against that.

 

I don't seem to be able to say and do the right things to allow natural human interaction to take its course. like, if two people meet, talk, become friends - that doesn't happen with me. all my friends are people who have taken the first step with me themselves.

 

I just don't know what do about any of it. I've been putting myself out there for a long time now hoping things will just get better.

you're not fucking married to the guy !! People are going to carry on their lives with or without you, you know. It really is up to you whether or not you want to be a part of that.

I do this with my friends, not see them for a while.. Facebook keeps me somewhat up to on what they're doing. And as they're friends, i'm happy with whatever they do. And they're happy whether i hang out or hibernate.
