School? Work?As someone who was completely out of their mind with stress less than 48 hours ago, I will just say that it has to get better. Take one thing at a time. And I mean seriously. It is easy to say, but not always easy to do. Just focus on that one thing until the next thing comes up.Also, limit your caffeine intake. It's totally impossible to concentrate (or sit still) after you ingest extreme amounts of caffeine. And eat small amounts frequently. It keeps your mind working and the rest of your body awake.And if it isn't school or work related, just remember that it will pass. Focus on what you have to and remember that you will have freedom soon. With lots of time for fun and your guy.

I don't think that we are meant to know the point of life. It's kind of part of the whole thing. We just keep searching. Or perhaps we think we know what it is and rely on that to make ourselves content. But really, it isn't for us to comprehend. Like, it's too much.Personally, I continue to contemplate it, but feel resigned in not really knowing.Perhaps just my religious viewpoint.

I hate to say it, but sometimes the conversations around here go over my head. Or perhaps I just don't want to take the time (and effort) to understand. I thought that this was one of those times and it didn't really occur to me that you didn't actually understand the significance of the day. I thought that maybe I was missing some kind of joke or an intentional misunderstanding.Anyway, I must be getting old. I turned down an invitation to celebrate.

I think that the lyrics are excellent. I like the rough version, too. It went in a totally different direction than I expected after reading the lyrics and was a good surprise.If you want my totally honest opinion, I think that maybe you should change the key or something. Raise it up a bit perhaps? It kind of gave me that uncomfortable feeling with your voice, if you know what I mean. I like the tone of the key, it just seems a little low to me. But honestly, I don't really know what I'm talking about and really did like it. It really reminded me of one of my favorite artists.Good job. Thanks for sharing.*edited for clarification

As if I didn't have enough issues. Now my tp is telling me that I am a girl. I think that I will blame my mom for this one. My only consolation is that S must be one too.
-
TP should definitely unroll from the top. Otherwise it just doesn't work right. Try it both ways and you will understand. Besides, all of the nice places has it unrolling form the top. That means it must be right.I really did want to know about the status of the eggs in my refrigerator. I hate to waste things, but I also am very paranoid.
-
Well, what does the location have to do with? Ok, so I have thought of tons of questions to ask, but most would reveal how absolutely odd I am, and really, I don't know any of you that well.So my question is: how long can eggs stay in the refrigerator before they are bad?I don't think the location has much to do with whether a person is left or right handed. -
I totally agree with the comedic affect of sex. I remember this one time, when S and I just got together and things were getting pretty heavy...ok, so way to personal, but anyway, if you can't laugh during with your guy when you should, then in my opinion there is something missing.Anyway, I totally misunderstood your aversion to sex. Sex is fun. Kind of odd, but totally fun. I'm not really sure about not wanting sex. No real thoughts other than that. Ok, I do have more thoughts on the subject. Don't do anything your not comfortable with...but sometimes things you aren't totally sure that you will like are the best. Be open minded.And although I do enjoy sex best with someone else, I understand the whole you know how you work best thing. Hehe, I like discussing sex. It's fun.

Hell, I'm wondering if I'm old enough for this conversation.Congrats on the futuristic new desk chair with its perfectly precise specifications.

Lock them in a room and ignore them for the day. That is my unsympathetic advice. Cats are creepy for so many reasons in my opinion. Just plain strange animals. First of all, when you pick them up, they are just so...transparent or maybe pliable or something. You can feel all of their insides. It totally creeps me out.Second, they really couldn't care less about you. They have no emotions. Or at least no appreciation for you. Third, you can't teach them anything. Climbing on things that shouldn't be climbed on. It just drives me crazy. They are such odd animals. Hamsters, though, aren't any better than cats. Just a different form of a mouse or rat in my opinion. Totally disgusting. Get a dog. They love you and appreciate you no matter what. And you can teach them things. As my mom says, "If I were half the person my dog thinks I am..." Unconditional love. Or if you are looking for something smaller, turtles are good.And if you really do like your cats, at least you are getting some entertainment out of them today.

Caffeine can be a great and addictive thing. Before spring break, I was pretty much living off of it. Just remember that a little bit is good, but too much is bad. It's one of those annoying balancing things. As for sex, you can't choose the easy topics can you? Sex can be a lot of things. It can be fun, passionate, angry, sad, careless, happy, drunk...but in my opinion, the best that sex can every be is loving and carefree. I'm not all that experienced with lots of people. S and I are one and onlys when it comes to the heavy stuff (kind of ironic when I think about how wild I was for so long), but my advice is wait until you are ready. When you're ready, it isn't nearly as scary. For me, sex wasn't as scary in itself as what it meant. I was kind of a relationship-phobic. But once he kind of trapped me and wore me down (
), it seemed natural. Hmmm, don't know what else to say about that.Anyway, yeah for gay flamingos!!! -
Is the air in your home working again? I hope so. If you want, I can mail you some snow. It can keep you pretty cool.I think that I just need to say for everyone here that if we went down to visit you, you would not cool off any.
-
hmm...milk or wine, which should I drink? I guess I know which is more fun.I had to look up Nutella (which is not the fist thing that I have had to look up). Look at how much smrter I am getting from visiting here.
-
Why don't you conduct an experiment? I am sure that everyone would like to hear the results. I do have one little request, though. Please stay down under while it is occurring.Still I cannot help but wonder if I gave up showering, would the rest of me become straight too? -
I definitely read the blog. It was very clever, but that seems to be typical for you isn't it?

Camy, I really enjoyed the song. It was extremely well done. Good job!
As for the seasonal thing, it is fairly common here (they actually do this big seminar thing freshman year of college we were required to attend and they tell all about it). There are lots of tricks to help with it. Just do some research. I actually worked with someone who had it and it was quite severe with him. He always had like a florescent light shining over whatever he was doing. I wondered how it didn't hurt his eyes. -
Perhaps you could broadcast some of the greatest hits or bloopers from your Jason-cam. It may be interesting.

I understand what you are saying about homework. During winter break I didn't notice the lack of it so much because I was so busy with other stuff, but my first week or two back I was totally lost. I was so used to feeling behind in my work that when I wasn't I didn't know what to do. I still had that high adrenaline/panicky procrastinator feeling going on, but with nothing super important to do. It was somewhat surreal. As for the politics, it is overwhelming. You are totally bombarded with it from all forms of media. And even if you are interested in politics, it gets to be too much. It seems like it has been all that my friends and I have talked about, and every politician's stance is totally ludicrous in some way. You don't REALLY believe any of them, and it is just deciding on the lesser of the evils. Which for me is usually Independent or Green and then I feel like I am just not voting at all (at least in presidential elections). My advice, try not to listen too closely at what they are all saying until it is time for you to decide who to vote for. Then do some research. It saves on the confusion and upset listening to it all every day. It doesn't really solve the problem of how ludicrous some of the stuff you hear can be, but at least you don't hear it nonstop.

Ok, so I don't know how to do the whole quote thing, but I so know exactly what you are talking about with the whole snapshot of your thoughts. You know, in Harry Potter when Dumbledore points his wand at his head and then puts his thoughts in that big bowl? I totally wish that I could do that. I mean, how much more could you do if you didn't lose all those thoughts that you have? It could lead to so much....better grades, better stories, no one mad for you missing a special occasion, world domination? You just don't know how far it could go. Yes, I believe that I may try to create one. (Just so you all know, I realize that I have publicly said that I wish my life was in some way similar to a Harry Potter movie. I am quite embarrassed by this and hope no one brings it up in the future.)So, on to the working out. It can be so great for you. I used to be a working out fiend and when I work out regularly is when I feel the best about myself all around. Obviously there is the whole live longer healthier thing, but you also sleep better, you eat better, you have energy and you obviously look better. Then of course there are those endorphins that actually make you feel better, more positive...happy. So working out is great. Of course the first couple of months can be rough. You kind of dread doing it or you don't see results, but really, your body is already changing. And just because you can't see anything, doesn't mean others can't. I mean, you look at yourself every day. Sometimes you just can't see it yourself but others that haven't seen you in a while can. So congrats on working out. I'm sure that you will do great and even though I don't think that there should be any reason for your low self-esteem, I know that it will help you improve it.

I used to get strep a lot as a kid. The doctor told my mom to do the whole steam thing. Just heat some water, put your head over it (obviously be careful not to like burn yourself or something) and put a towel over both of you. It isn't the most comfortable thing, but it will clear out your sinuses. Hope you get better soon!

Virginal? hmmm - I am seeing twink versions of the 50's sitcoms where there are twin beds in the couple's bedrooms.

OK, so after reading this discussion, I had to go back and find the post. It was hilarious. Then I realized that I could actually see myself doing the same thing since I haven't encountered that particular style and can be quite, um, abrupt at times. I think that I may be laughing to myself the rest of the day. Thanks!

Moving? Are you moving to the same area in which you live? I so know how you feel. When I moved to the TC area I was totally stressed in so many ways. I had moved away from all family and friends and had to search for a new job and it was, to be entirely honest, terrible. S had all of his old friends and family and I was totally alone. When I did finally find a job, we worked opposite hours. It was the largest test in our relationship, in my opinion.Just finding a home and getting it in working condition was stressful. Moving all of my junk and the cost of it all. Combining everything and arguing over what should be tossed and what should stay. Finding out you are missing important stuff like silverware or something. Yuck. It was not fun. Although, it was super exciting at the same time. Our first real home together...Yeah, it sucked but it was still ok.Anyway, whatever the situation, I totally feel for you.
