Hey bud, chill.

To quote some guy, 'our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.'

Pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and you'll be alright.

Who the fuck are you?

[Dazed]

He's a generally calm-seeming, funny, nice dude.

[Boro_Bandito]

Sorry, I'm being overly hostile.

[Coward]

No harm, no foul.

[Boro_Bandito]

Though to be fair your advice was in essence the same generalized crap that everyone says.

[Coward]

Well the guy I quoted has been dead for about two and half thousand years, so yeah, that line had done the rounds.

[Patrick]

Dear blag,

I am holding up well from the breakup. Tara will probably be a different story, but she is also not the one being relieved of the pressure of trying to pick the lesser of two shitty choices. I imagine that once that feeling wears down, I will suffer even more guilt and possibly spiral into depression, but until then, I'm doing okay.

Also I had a live battle against my buddy Labinot. I lost, but we both gave it our best effort and he deserved it. He's a good guy, very gracious in victory. Just like he was in defeat the last time we battled. The judges shit themselves when I sang in Albanian with a flawless accent. They said I pronounced things better than Labi. That got a lot of laughs from the audience, because Labi is from Kosovo, and Kosovars are known to have strong accents. The skinny little American boy who doesn't even know what the fuck he's singing can still do it better than the native speaker.

Photos from tonight are in the photo thread if you would like to see.

Love,
Me!

Took ecstasy and went to a redneck house party!

good times

[DarkAvenger]

Hey blog thread!

I am now dating a girl. It is very cliched but last weekend we sat up all night talking in front of a firepit. It was awesome. I suppose I really don't have much more to add to that.

Oh, and in a few days I get my copy of Our Band Could Be Your Life, so that is pretty rad.

i'm pretty sure we should be friends

[squawk]

Today was Rent a Senior day and I am renting this boy. I don't think I can make him Do Rad Things with me though.

I have like twenty-eight days of school left and basically no downtime until the very last day I want to die

[onewheelwizzard]

Hat and SWM, can I get in on your adventures?  Y'all sound like my kind of peoples.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

as long as you bring your unicycle

[Eris]

So, I have another assignment due that I am doing the day it is due and will probably end up handing it in tomorrow. This seems to be the start of a trend, one that I would prefer not to start.

The problem is that I just have no enthusiasm to do anything at the moment. I haven't written any stories since that one tiny one earlier this year, I don't do any reading for classes I have, and any reading I do do I feel bad about because I really should be doing school work. So this means I am always feeling bad about wasting time that should be used more efficiently so that I actually get good marks at uni rather than just average ones, but at the same time I just don't seem to care.

I am always saying I have no time to do anything because I always have to rush through schoolwork, but I go to uni for a total of 1.5 days a week; I have the majority of my time free and I still can't seem to get anything done. I have no job, hardly any money, and the money I have essentially goes towards train tickets to sydney/uni. My family situation isn't particularly helping, but there's nothing I can do about it, really. I just need to Sack Up and get my life on track, but instead I think that going to bed and coming out in 3 years miraculously with a degree sounds more enticing.

I think I maybe need to talk to someone about all this? I am slowly getting more disenchanted with everything (including myself, which also isn't helping), so I can see this ending with me just cracking at the end of this semester and crying for two days straight. Talking to someone is scary, though.

(wow, that came out sadder than I intended. sorry guys)

[mbb]

Dear blog thread,

Today I was wait listed from my top law school pick. This is kinda huge.

Cheers!

[Slick]

Talking to someone is scary, though.

Yeah it is scary but it will not actually be that bad when you do it and it'll make you feel a lot better and fix some things.
It took me too long to figure that out.

[ruyi]

I have the majority of my time free and I still can't seem to get anything done.

A lot of your post felt really familiar, actually today I slept til 5 pm. Once again I have not gone to class at all this week. It is pretty ridiculous, I don't know what the fuck is up with me.

Hope you do talk to someone though, it is pretty important.

[Ozymandias]

I skipped 6 out of 8 classes so far this week.

Because about 60 hours of the last 72 have been spent either at work or coding. (Of the remaining 72, only 6 was spent sleeping)

I am dead as fuck.

[Dimmukane]

Hat and SWM, can I get in on your adventures?  Y'all sound like my kind of peoples.

I want in.


Difficulty: Dan is 3,000 miles to the west, and Brett is basically on the opposite side of the globe.  You're only a 2 hour drive or so above me, but my car needs new tires before I make any more long trips.  How do we solve this problem?

[Lines]

So I went to drag practice tonight and got my number all settled. Basically I am pretending to be an awkward, but very horny dude that is getting danced on by a hot lady and trying not to pass out or have massive boners. Next Friday is going to be oh so much fun.

[Inlander]

For a second when I saw your post out of the corner of my eye I thought you said you went to dog practice.

Thought and hoped.

[Zingoleb]

Hello, blog thread

I think I know you. In some form, in some manner than you've restated yourself over the months and years, over the eternities, in the way that you are a modern soapbox that any number of persons can share. But what more are you than this? Are you a new friend? An old friend? Are you an enemy in disguise, waiting for my weakest moment of emotional outpouring to strike at me and wound me more than any physical hatred could?

I can see you, and I can study you, but I still don't know. Should I states my thoughts, my feelings, the things that make me me? Or should I stay here, staring into an endless waste of ones and zeroes changing back and forth, faster than I can see, hermaphroditic numbers that explain to me everything that I should probably care to know...

I don't know. We'll see.

There is no goodbye, Blog Thread, there is only the hello and the inevitable.

[Zingoleb]

tl;dr version:

I know what blogs are I'm just scared to use them

[Hat]

Bought a bunch of really nice glassware and some various apertifs and liquers I really really wanted, as well as birthday presents for my mum and sister. Now I'm about to get wasted on Alexanders and curse loudly.

I'm furious though because I put a huge tear right in the crotch of my favourite pajama pants

[Zingoleb]

It's called easy access

Get used to it.

[Hat]

It's called gravity and its causing my balls to hang out the bottom of my pajama pants which is kind of the opposite of the reason why I wear them in the first place.

[Zingoleb]

I never bother with decency unless someone's in the room. Then I might grab a towel.

[Eris]

ok yeah, so I am freaking out about this (1000 word, worth 20%) assignment because I don't know what I am really doing and I need 5 references, which is going to be impossible because I am writing this all from the top of my head and maybe could just refer to books on pastoral poetry?

it is due today and I have written maybe 160 words that I need to scrap and redo and everytime I look at the word document I start freaking out some more and can't write anything. I am also beating myself up because I should have done this earlier but am a stupid fuckup and should just give up because if I don't fail this assignment then it will be another one that is more important because this is just going to keep happening.

uh, fml?

[Hat]

I have actually dropped all my uni subjects for this semester and am not planning to go back until I get my head on straight because it is a waste of time and money otherwise.

[David_Dovey]

Dang is there something in the air that is causing people to be irresponsible about their studies? What is going on guys? Is it

SWINE FLU

[Hat]

I haven't really had my eye on my studies since I started university  in the first place, and ever since I wound up in the MHU late last year, I haven't really had my head in my studies at all, just floating around aimlessly (I am doing philosophy of time travel for fucks sake) I am going to take some time off to get some therapy, figure my shit out, and decide whether I want to change programmes or not, and then head back hopefully before my parents notice I am gone.

[De_El]

Today I took 4 allergy pills instead of one because my nose was bothering me, plus I was bored and hoping something interesting would happen. Nothing interesting happened, but I guess I can breathe now, so that's pretty cool.

I'm kind of an idiot.

[Zingoleb]

Try Ambien.

Works for Jeph.

Edit: in regards to the 'something interesting' part

[David_Dovey]

what the fuck

[Jace]

Hey again blog thread,

I got written up at work for being excessively late. Which is true, I've been late at least 2-10 minutes every day. Sometimes 2 hours and 30 minutes. What I find funniest is that they don't really mind that I haven't been doing any work. They mind that I've been late. Like, they told me if I am 1 (one) minute late, they write me up again. One minute is holding a door open for a housekeeper with a cart. One minute is waiting for someone else who is going down in the elevator. One minute is a trivial amount of time.

[KvP]

So a couple of things happened.

One, I am getting an apartment! I wanted to get a studio but my parents are apparently shelling out for a larger, furnished apartment a block from campus. So yay!

Two, during work today the power grid fucked out for the entire campus. I went home an hour and a half early, and the servers I'm supposed to train on might be fucked, we'll see.

Three, we are on for Chicagocon.

[ackblom12]

Dear Blog Thread,

Saturday I get to have what is likely going to be one of the more awkward meetings of my life. I'm meeting up with an ex of mine who I haven't talk to in 8 years. It ended pretty badly (I ended up living in a car for 2 months) and we ended up getting in touch via Facebook a few days ago. I think we're both hoping this is a chance to apologize, get a few things off our chests and prove to each other we're not total assholes.

Here's hoping it isn't a terrible experience!

[jodizzle]

Oh man, talking about exes.  Hi Blog thread! 

There have been a few annoying ex related incidents happening to me of late, despite the fact the exes dont belong to me.  The first one is my housemate's ex.  She moved out when they broke up last Nov/Dec and I was very happy, because life is alot more fun when she isn't making Robert cranky and annoyed and boring and also when my shit isnt being constantly stolen and used etc (my TOWEL, she uses my TOWEL. I have to hide it).  Anyway, turns out she is totes preggers (to my housemate in theory....I remain unconvinced) and her mum recently kicked her out of her house.  SO she has permanently moved back into our place.  Rob has moved out of his room and into the garage and she has taken his room.  he was going to do that anyway to get more money for rent from other people, but I bet she doesn't pay shit.  Also, we just got the raddest two friends who were going to move into our two rooms, I like them, and they come with adorable tiny kittens!  Unfortunately Jess ruined that by taking one of the rooms. I can hear her shouting at Rob right now!  I tried to tell him this was a terrible idea, stupid feotus ruining my awesome living arrangement.  he let her move back in so she wasn't dealing with the baby alone etc.  if she is still here when I get back from visiting you guys I am finding a new place to live which makes me sad, because living with Rob is awesome.  but the baby is due in November and I can't bear the thought of still being here when it is born.

Next ex story involves a crazy deluded ex of my boyfriend's.  They broke up over a year ago, but he made the mistake of hooking up with her about 6 months ago in what was supposed to be non emotionally attatched fun.  She was pretty dang emotionally attatched so he called that off pretty quickly.  Anyway, we started dating a little over 2 months ago and occasionally she would text him to say hi and whatever and he thougth it would probably be a good idea not to mention he had a girlfriend unless it came up, bexcause she is crazy and unstable and recently moved to Brisbane and he was quite worried she would go mental and off herself.  I didn't mind, I mean it's not like I have gone up to Loxley and been all HEY GUESS WHAT, so that was all ok.  Then he was supposed to go and see MSI with his friends but they all piked and he decided not to go because he couldn't really afford it and his grandad was dying at the time.  Then she texted him and asked if he was going and when he said no because he couldn't afford it she bought him a ticket and was all HEY YOU CAN STAY WITH ME.  He was all....uuuuhhh...awwkwwaaaarrrrd.  he didn't go because he knew at some point she would try and hook up with him and I was going to have to be mentioned and she would go mental.  But he told her about his grandad dying so she was all, oh ok no worries!  But, a few weeks ago he mentioned me to one of his friends who is good friends with Kat (his ex) and said girl  then told Kat.  Kat then texted Aaron the next day being all, abloobloo you have a girlfriend and I have been up all night cryign and cutting myselgfover it.  What. WHAT. Man up woman, you broke up a year ago.  ANYWAY, aaron panicked like a dork and said that what he had said had been taken out of proportion etc etc.  About 30seconds after he sent that he wa slike...shit...I should not have done that should I?  I shoul;d have just told her shouldn't I?  I was like, yes, you are silly, this is going to end badly.  After about 2 days he texted her and explained he had lied and told her about me etc and apparently she just went mental.  he said that if he had of been telling her in person she would have beaten the shit out of him (she has punched him in the face before for reasons I don't rememebr).  Apparently she was planning to give up uni and her carreer to move back to Toowoomba to 'be with him'.  He was like....wut...when did I ever give you the indication that would be a good idea at all?  Anyway, now she has been telling people that he has been sleeping with her while he is with me (he hasn't, she gave specific days, all of which he was with me on), but the whole situation is stressing me out a bit!  I don't want to have to deal with psycho deluded lie spreading exes!  I just want to date a rad boy!  We are still stupidly smitten with each other though, which is nice, but I wish Kat would die in a fire.


tl;dr
My housemate's ex is pregnant and living with us again and making me miserable
My boyfriend's ex is a deluded psycho trying to saabotage our relationship and spreading horribke rumours
My boyfriend is lovely


Sorry guys, that turned into a rather long rant actually. <3

[Patrick]

Two, during work today the power grid fucked out for the entire campus

Could be worse. Up to 17 times a day at parliament. They are finally investing in a battery backup for the whole building instead of just a generator that kicks in.

Dear blag,

Upon reflection, maybe I should not have called Tara this morning like she asked me to. She still thinks there is hope of us getting back together and I am just like "Uhhhhhh no not really" and it just hurts her more.

Love,
Me

Got drunk on Negronis, thought about doing knife tricks.

Also I bought a book on the history and method of distilled spirits and now I kind of want to fuck my arts degree off and transfer to a science degree and major in organic chemistry or whatever shit you need to know to be a master brewer.

I may or may not be drunk

Got drunk on Negronis

I CAN REMEMBER THINGS I SAID FIVE MINUTES AGO WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKS SAYS I CAN'T?!?

[Hat]

Oh god I have that special kind of angst you can only get using facebook in a house with all the lights off when you've got half a load going on and just starting to feel good about yourself and then you realise it looks like everyone else you know is having more fun than you are. I know that this just plain isn't true! I have ridiculous amounts of fun. I am in the top percentile of fun for fucks sake, but my brain just shuts down and starts yelling "YOU BORING TWAT" at myself.

[Jimmy the Squid]

I have very little fun if that makes you feel better, Hat.

Though of course I am morally opposed to fun.

[Hat]

Pretty sure fun is against the rules when you are as krieg as yourself tho, dogg.

[pen]

Hey bloggers,

I'm going to an oyster shucking party on Saturday.  Any pearls we find will be made into lovely jewelry by our host.  This sounds messy and fun and I'm pretty excited about it.

[snalin]

So today I had what will probably be the last German test in my life. Ever. I'm hoping for good grades, because then I can apply to this ridiculously fun sounding cultural meetup thing in Berlin this October, which sounds like it will be super cool and awesome.

This night me and friends will be getting drunk on hard liquors. The girls are insisting on mixing drinks with lots of fruit and soda and sweet stuff in them, and my guess is that someone is going to puke. Oh well, it will be pretty awesome anyways, far too long since i had a partyyy.

[ViolentDove]

Does anyone else type complete posts out and then just delete them, or is it just me?

[Dollface]

Does anyone else type complete posts out and then just delete them, or is it just me?

i do sometime when i go "oh fuck that is poor taste even from me"

[McTaggart]

About half the posts I write!

So who got shat on by a mother fucking bird?  Me.  What the hell...

[valley_parade]

It could be worse, Rachel. When I was 12, I went to Disney World with my parents. A bird shat on me in the middle of Epcot.
