He doesn't want any more

Oh crap, lol! I have the same exact thing thursday, and I'm slightly nervous.

No way, I love phy

Rave/Rant/whatever: Everyday I'm shufflin'. no seriously, I'll get my my money that I loaned back(150$), but don't know what to do! Buy tablet? or save more and buy REM Dreamer?

Physics is pretty awesome, I actually enjoy applying trigonometry to my physics.

Rant: I just finished doing housework for the past 5 hours. I am fucking beat... nearly falling asleep. And there's still 10 days of this hell left. I'll feel so good when it is all over, I can't wait. Never done this much schoolwork. Oh well, time to sleep and hopefully have some nice dreams. Today was productive, to say the least.

I don't know what to do.

On one hand I got in to that university course, that's really awesome and it opens up some parts of my future.

On the other hand, things are totally messed up with this girl and she won't explain things to me. And I feel there is no future there. So that part of my future seems very closed at the moment.

I should be happy with the good things in my life, but I find it almost impossible to focus entirely on those for any meaningful length of time.

I don't know if my brain is broken or what.

Just get over the girl already! You've been stuck there since forever.

Boo, I fell on black ice today at work. Got a bloody hand, and my knee tried to bend sideways.

Boo, my motherboard's on-board sound died. I had been considering buying a sound card anyway so I could hook up the PC to my stereo. But boo, more expenses (because a sound card is essential for survival).

Boo... there was something else I was going to complain about, but I can't even remember now. But I do know that it was some serious, incredibly devastating first-world issue similar to the ones I already mentioned. Also, I still need to change my avatar, but that's time consuming and requires too much effort. Boo.

Saturday, my phone stopped getting service. It was doing amazing Friday night too, and I even did a speed test. Contacted my provider, they were really puzzled and ordered me a new SIM card at the store. That didn't work. They decided it was a factory issue, so I called the manufacturer who had me do some stuff, and nothing. I shipped that off today. When I got home, I took my old phone from my old provider, popped in a SIM card and it worked! Cool. Then, I updated my ROM (Cyanogenmod for the curious), and BOOM, no SIM card. Freaked, I begin googling this specific parameter, and I found it was a freak setting. I change the setting, and my phone works perfectly. HOPEFULLY, the manufacturer doesn't do that and sends me a new phone without charging me extra. I am feeling really stupid right now.

Also, I applied for a job despite having a cushy gig, though the pay isn't consistent. They emailed me today for an interview tomorrow. The job is outside of my wheelhouse, but I REALLY want to work for this company and I want this job too badly. I need to keep my expectations low.

Yeah, I feel like I've been hearing about that for a long time too.
Though I know it isn't as easy as that. You(tommo)'re probably more sick of it than we are in a way but that doesn't mean you're going to forget about it.

---------

Let's see... everything's generally good. I only have school 3 days a week so there's none tomorrow. I'm not getting as much done as I should be but just made a new to-do-list system (in which the list is written in coloured pen and hung at the top of my wall for religious effect). I realized I can get Visual Studio Professional and multiple copies of any Windows OS for 100% free, along with other things I haven't looked at yet, from my school. I'm taking a course that I don't need to take which is way too easy for me, but I realized it too late so I'm staying in it for the GPA boost. Nothing else really... I made creme brulee again for my parents and me. I took pictures. I'll post them in the food pictures thread maybe. I guess not much is happening, and for once I don't have much to complain about.

Never chase after women or buses. There's always another around the corner.

Sorry, I honestly delete half my rants about her the morning after I post them, coz I know I feel like a fool and people probably get sick of it.
And yeah, I am starting to get sick of all this more than anyone else would be (I think) lol
But I really honestly don't expect anyone to read that shit anyway, as I said a few times it's just a good way for me to stop from going insane.
Although I am getting to that point where it's like.... all this is not worth it.

And I'm going to make a commitment to not rant about her again. Unless something really good happens, or I think I'll never see her again and I'll come cry here. That's it. Happy?

My only rant today is that another girl who is not of appropriate age but is incredibly pretty, is attracted to me. She's a tomboy too, which is a pretty big turn-on for me. Laws suck. That's two girls from work who are totally crushing on me but I can't do anything about it.

My rave is that I accepted my university offer and looking at subjects to study etc. applied for the loan and everything.
Felt a great sense of accomplishment for doing basically nothing, but I felt good anyway

I saw those pics before. I've never had creme brulee, what does it taste like?

Edit: Thanks for the link, Omnis!

It's so cold my desktop background slut put her clothes back on

For some reason I went to that link myself and it was really interesting, thanks!

What are you going for? Sciences?

Really good! I just uploaded those for the first time so I assume you meant you've seen pictures of creme brulees before.

They're actually really easy to make. There are only 4 ingredients in total. The only weird things needed are ramekins and a butane (or propane) torch. The top is Carmelised sugar (made by sprinkling sugar and burning it with the torch) and the inside is custard made with egg yolks, sugar, heavy cream and vanilla. So I guess it tastes like like light custard with a thin but hard glaze of caramel on top.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about you ranting. You can rant all you want if it makes you feel better. But I wish you could actually get over it. Not talking about it will not help if you are still thinking about it.

Anyway, you seem to have enough girls crushing on you.

Rant: My induction cooktop is tripping the circuit. Need to take it to the service centre. Also, my pressure cooker stopped working 6 months ago but I was too lazy to get it fixed. Now I'll take them both. If I don't get time in the evening, I have to wait till the weekend. That means no cooking till then
As much as I love living alone, sometimes I feel there's too much to handle. Soon after I got rid of the weird smell in the house and the fungus growing on the wood, there were fruit flies in the bathroom. After I got rid of them, the pipes started leaking and now this!

Interesting...

Maybe people will start to care more about the atrocities their tax dollars pay for if I hit them in the face when they say things like "Of course they're gonna kill Snowden."

When I see things like this: American Spies want Snowden Dead I feel like I'm the only person comprehending the implications. When operatives are calling him the biggest traitor in US history... when Congress is considering he might have been in collusion with Russia the whole time... I mean holy fucking face palm. Our government is really so fascist now that standing for American Values like freedom and privacy doesn't even enter their imagination?

PS, as a warning to anyone considering liking this post, be warned it'll probably put you on some sort of watch list. Just saying.

for everyone in need.

Wow... it's been one month since I last posted I got into that cycle again where I thought... "can't go back, it's been too long" I thought I hadn't posted anything since Thanksgiving lol.
Nothing much going on here. Our pipes froze once so far... they'll be freezing again for at least a week with the temps that are headed our way. So I've been getting lots of laundry done and such.
I'm still crocheting a whole lot. I finally fished my "poncho" My first "poncho" - Ponchos - Crochetville but I'm not happy with it.

I'm now crocheting a scarf to go onto my "druidic" hood. But I've not been able to focus on my stitches lately and I keep making stupid mistakes.

I bought my daughter's laptop for $120. I can actually play Minecraft now which is amazing... but it crashed the other day and lost my game so I had to start over.

And hey, Tommo... I finally bought 2 decent e-cigs. They are amazing. One is a Tripl3 eGo and the other is a Tasty Puff. They use liquid and I'm in love. I crocheted a lanyard for them Right away, I went from 2 packs a day to 1 pack. And now I'm at about 1/2 a pack a day.

Hope everyone is okay and staying warm.

Oh yeah, do any of y'all know anything about plants? I was given an Angel trumpet plant a couple/few years back. I've spoken about it before. I keep it inside because I always worry about wind and animal damage. It's a scraggly looking thing but extremely hardy. It has never bloomed but frequently grows new leaves and some branches. My question is: there's a seedling growing in the pot. How is that possible? Don't flowering plants have to drop seeds to grow? Miley suggested it might be growth from a root? The pot was getting too crowded so I finally bought some mulch soil and another pot and transferred one of the 3 "trees" (not counting the sapling- I left it alone as much as possible). This is the first time I've ever done anything with the soil of pot...

**EDIT**
Oh yeah... Creme Brulee is AWESOME. It's my favorite dessert of all time. The consistency reminds me of custard or... arg, there's another thing but I can't call it to mind. Flan! The most common flavor is vanilla, but I've had it in others. Serve it with some berries and a wee bit of whipped cream and your taste buds will be in heaven.

Zhaylin's back. Missed ya!

Awww, thank you Anju
I don't know why I'm so anti-social anymore. Most of the time I don't even go shopping. I just give the money to my eldest son and I wait in the car.
But I've thought about everyone here often.

I nearly forgot. In fact, about a week ago, I dreamed I was attacked by a Cobra. I kept facing obstacles when trying to get help and, eventually, too much time passed and I knew I was going to die. So, in the dream, I told my oldest son to promise me to get on DV and let everyone know I had died and that I thank everyone for being so wonderful and helpful throughout the years.


Rant: I took a 6 hour nap so there's no way I'm going to be able to go back to bed. Grrrr...

So yeah, I've been pretty quiet lately.

Lots of stuff going on. Lots of shit with other people's relationships as they're hauling me into them and friends giving me a shitload of stress I don't need and

Oh

Yeah

The big thing is that I think I've fallen pretty badly in love with someone who's a LOT older than I and also lives halfway round the world from me

Well fuck me this is just my luck URGH WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I FINALLY SORT MY LIFE OUT I EITHER FUCK IT UP AGAIN OR MY MOTHER THROWS A FIT AND FUCKS IT UP FOR ME *ragequits life and flips her Math's desk because Urgh. A-level Maths*

Literally fell in love? age and distance, very bad. You should not talk to him again(that would be easy, right? I mean, he is a million miles away!). Soon you will unlove him(trust me, done it twice).

As for your friends, are they good friends in general? are they generally good with you?

Ugh never fucking mind god fucking damnit

Wishful and Dianeva.

My rants are that it feels too dark in my room despite my lights. I'm also hungry but don't feel like eating anything (Slim Jims... ugh lol)
I ended up taking a 2 1/2 hour nap earlier... and the hot water froze I had been getting up about every 40 minutes to let the hot water run for 5 minutes so the draining pipes wouldn't freeze. The cold water (which was dripping), still works for now. If the draining pipes freeze we wont be able to flush the toilet until the cold snap passes I can deal with everything else that comes along with having no water for a week. But not being able to flush the crapper is unbearable lol

I've also been VERY restless for the last couple of days. I want to crochet, but I am REALLY tired of watching non-stop shows.

A rave is that my plants are doing very well since the transplant to the second pot. I had to sort of pry the roots apart and worried the damage would kill them all, but so far, so good

Oh yes... welcome to DV, LouaiB!!

Rant:

Yeah.... I would suggest not going in to teaching, unless you want to teach high school or something.
Just honest opinion, given your disposition.

Ever since I read this the first time, I've wanted to reply to it. You've no idea how many thoughts I've had about it, one more rude than the other. I just don't know how to express it.


...I'm serious though. Things have changed so much, nobody's 'honest opinions' apply anymore because nobody knows what it's like now.

Rant:
I'm so confused. A lot of the things I do, I feel like I'm completely alone with. Even among my colleagues, I feel like an outsider. One of them gives me more feedback than I've ever gotten before and that's great, but I feel like I need that much more these days than I did. I've been sick yesterday and today, so I stayed home. I've been unable to contact my boss, and now the phone message says she won't be there for the rest of the week... Which is bad, because up until now, my employment has been made and paid by the municipality, and this is my last week of that before I get employed for real on normal conditions (although with less hours.). But how the hell am I supposed to do that if she's not here?

Rave:
The weird mania I've been having lately, with learning new shit, has actually lifted me and made me more free. Of course, I'm not dancing in the street or rapping Cro songs as I skate through town, but I'm making progress. I'm humming to myself, strutting energetically here and there, allowing myself to act silly at times and I've started using my speakers for audio instead of my headphones at home, which I feel is more of a symbolic thing than anything. I can almost juggle, but my handstand is progressing slowly. And I'm learning my tables of multiples in the dozenal system, which I'm pretty enthusiastic about. Borderline "this guy's probably going to start making youtube videos about this shit and try to change the world to use dozenal before 2016* like it's some kind of religion"

*because 2016 in base twelve is 1200 and we should be ready to celebrate when the new grossium begins.

I'm also taking a driver's license. It is fucking awesome. Was on the actual real roads today with a teacher, which I found a little overwhelming.
