Sigh. Someone I have a thing for came out as asexual. Although I kinda had figured it out a while ago. At first I thought she/they was coming out as trans man, which wouldn't surprise me at all since they acted more boy than girl. It's just a bit hard because I feel they are rejecting the femaleness that I find attractive in them.

Of course, the chance of a relationship between us would be like once in a billion, it'd be more likely I'd get hit by a meteor.

So today I united two pieces of obsolete technology that will allow me to time travel in the comfort of my room. I have an old portable DVD Player with 3.5mm AV inputs, so I took a PS2 AV cable and replaced the ends with 3.5mm audio jacks, stereo for audio and mono for video. It worked surprisingly well, and now I can play Burnout on a low-res 8" screen. Now to solve my $20 PS2's heating and noise problems.

well, based on how much time i have until tomorrow morning's practicum, there's a huge chance i won't be sleeping tonight.

hopefully i can get everything done. if i do, everything will be so much better. i'll have to pay for it in health, but it's a smaller cost than being stuck behind all semester.

Well, god fucking damn it, this has never happened to me before. I ran over a damn opossum on the highway at 60 mph, I turned away from it and of course it turned right around and ran towards my wheels. I know they are nasty critters, but damn do I feel bad about it. I killed something.

How sad, I'm sorry to hear that... Can't really fault you though, I mean... Why did it turn around? That is strange.

Reminds me of the time my dad ran over a rabbit on our way to the Grand Canyon. It was sitting out on the side of the road, out of the way, perfectly safe...
And then it darted into the path of the vehicle RIGHT as we were passing by. X(

Yeah, sometimes animals just do dumb things and there's not much you can do about it. As I was driving earlier tonight, I had to swerve for 4 animals. None of them put any effort into avoiding death, but I saved them all. It doesn't work all the time, though.

So sometimes I think to myself "Gee golly Kinny, life sure is shit" and I'm just like "Fuckin' right Kin" and then life is like "Hello you wanna experience super, happy, fun, time, mood shifts today?" and we're just like "No, fuck off life!" and life does it anyway 'cause it's an arsehole.

So I'm vising my aunt in Stockholm for a few hours and her ugly smelly-as-fuck dogs are humping each other RIGHT IN FUCKING FRONT OF ME.

Dogs are overrated.

Dog's aren't overrated it just sounds like they haven't had a single ounce of house and obedience training :V

They're overrated, for sure. This can be applied to pretty much any animal. Any animal is as caring and obedient as a dog, as such; any animal is also as smelly and humpy as a dog :u

Dogs are way too clingy and hyper for my taste.

I'm not big on pets that are totally hands-off, but if I can't leave it alone to do its own thing for five minutes, either because of behavioral issues or because it doesn't want me to, 
we're gonna have a problem.

I was woken up by the doorbell this morning(well, past noon, so afternoon I suppose). In my lazy state, I stumbled out of bed and put on some shoddy clothes and opened the door.

Found a guy in a very neat light blue shirt and dark blue pants standing outside. I blinked, and noticed he had quite a lot of "accessories" on the outfit. Blinked again as he spoke and realised that he was a police officer. He asked to come inside, I said sure. He asked me if my name was such and such, and I noted that they got the first name right but the surname was completely off.

He then proceeded to ask if I knew anyone by that name in the area, I said no. It was a rather peculiar surname, and I don't know anyone else in this neighbourhood with the same first name as me. He just nodded and shrugged, saying they must've gotten the wrong door. His partner was outside in the typical black weather jacket, so I have no idea what they were looking for.

Then, they left as quickly as they had arrived. So that was a different way to wake up.

I had a similar experience once except they didn't bother knocking: the first thing I saw of them was some cop standing in the hallway. Apparently there had been some sort of domestic dispute somewhere and they thought that my father was going to harm someone, which is why they came inside. But he wasn't home and we were fine. It turned out to be someone by a similar name far away.

No idea what happened to the people who were actually involved.

Yeah, this isn't the first time someone has mistaken me for someone else. A delivery guy thought I had ordered a meal, but I hadn't. It was already paid for, so he pointed out I could've just accepted it :P

I think the guy who lived here before me forgot to change his address when he moved.

I may or may not have accidentally taken a special needs kid's special food. During lunch they were serving Mozzarella bread sticks with shitty school brand tortilla chips. However, there were a few with goldfish crackers instead, so I snatched those instead. I didn't realize what it could be until after I ate it.

Will he still be able to go through chemotherapy, or is he fucked? Either way, that really sucks. Cancer is no joke, killing off so many wonderful people.

Well sadly the fact that this cancer spread from his bowel means it's now going through his bloodstream, and is very likely to show up in other places. I'm afraid all they can do now is treatment to make his life longer by years at most.

There's a giant wasp in our class
Send help
Also half the class literally booked it and left the class

Where in the world do you live that a) this is not a common occurrence and b) this causes everyone to flee in panic?

(For the most part, the bigger species of wasps tend to be the less aggressive.)

Well...i have mental health issues. Last night i realized that i've always pushed them to the side, treated the things i've been through in the past as if they happened to someone else and pretended i was normal then the truth is i'm really not. Just had to acknowledge that and stating it somewhere public seems like a good way to do so. That's all, carry on.

Double post, oh noes!

Earlier today i got a call from my mother, she told me that because she and my step dad are having quite large money problems they're going to have to sell a bunch of their stuff, give up their house and move in with my (step, i guess) grandmother. She also told me that my step dad might get laid off in December so they're kinda fucked atm. Given that my step dad has 30 odd years experience as an engineer he shouldn't have much trouble finding new employment but still, this really isn't looking good for them.

Getting laid off stinks, I really hope it works out for them. At least they have somewhere to go. Life'll throw you curve balls sometimes but it's important not to feel like you're a failure just because you have to take some steps back. Your step dad's in a good career path, though, so hopefully he can get back on his feet without too much problem. High demand field and all.

Indeed. I've been told that he could make more money than he currently is if he moves off this little island and they were thinking about moving anyway so this is more a case of their hands being forced before they were ready. They'll likely land on their feet in time but nothing's certain atm.

I got a research essay that I haven't started yet and an online quiz due by midnight. I live on the edge :V

But seriously, why the fuck do I keep waiting till the last minute? :(

Because procrastination is the best way of approaching your work obviously.

Oh fuck's sake. I'm awful for procrastinating. I just had a whole week off school but I've gone and left all my homework for me to cram into the last two days instead (thankfully we're off on Monday too so I've got two days to do it). I mean I can do it, but I'll be a lot more tired and stressed than I would have been if I'd done it over the past week instead. Plus the actual quality of the work will probably be lower now I'm having to rush some of it.

I really need to just start forcing myself to do things. Maybe then I'll actually get some proper work done before the last minute.
