You live in New England, right Linds? What the fuck is the obsession with that song here? I really don't get it.

Anyways...blog thread,
I was worried about where I would live after may when my lease ends, but I found out that one of my friends from the department has a lease that is ending the same day as mine, so we shall be roommates, which (hopefully) will be a good time. I just hope he doesn't mind a near constant cloud of pot smoke eminating from my room since I know he doesn't smoke. Oh well, his problem, not mine.

So, after this weekend, I realized I might be depressed? It took a couple of outside perspectives for me to realize it though. It feels weird because I guess I always expected I'd be able to like...tell, if it ever happened. Now I'm not sure what I should do about it, or if I even can do anything about it. I mean, I have outlets for dealing with shit, and I have the ear of good friends and relatives I trust, which has proven invaluable. But I can't just take an open-ended break from school right now and there are certain issues I can't just make go away and ugh.

Bleh, I don't know. Everything that's been going on has made me feel real tired.

On the upside, I bought some really nice brie and sourdough rye today. Good cheese is kind of amazing, I think I'm going to start paying more attention to it.

Bah. I can't march in the Gay and Lesbian Mardis Gras parade on my housemate's float because I have to record some stuff for a Uni assignment. I'm kinda bummed about this, as I was looking forward to it.

I will however still be able to watch the parade and drink in the park (I'm classy like that, yo), so I guess it's not all bad.

A year and a half ago I took a break from school, taught myself to bake, and got a job at a place I thought was really cool. I ate delicious breads, cheeses, and smoked meats through the winter and had red wine if I had an extra twenty dollar bill sitting in my pocket. I think I may have been happy then. I cultured my own sourdough. I had many zany run-ins with life. Things seemed OK.
Now I am in my sixth consecutive month of classes, with six more to go before my degree is done. That is only odd for me because for the past four and a half years I have been switching up lifestyles every four months with school and co-op and life exploring. I think I feel kind of unhappy now, but that is probably just because I've been letting myself slide. All of my unhappiness is traceable back to things I have and have not been doing. I need to remember to make myself happy most days.
I hate feeling tired of life all the time.

Any good rye bread should be a sourdough bread. I don't like when people are full of shit and tell everyone 'the way' things should be done (see: fried chicken, corn bread, pizza, spaghetti sauce), but any good rye bread should be made with a sour culture for certain reasons to do with the harshness of the flour.
I learned that a year or so ago through some reading and some experimentation.

This place is not rewarding for me? I find myself walking in circles of things that might amuse or entertain me? After spending a good long 40 -odd hours of being productive with only three hours of sleep in there, it feels like I could be doing so much more with my life than indulging my desires. I need to indulge in my craving to build and shape something.

Unless a major event is a catalyst, depression often creeps up unexpectedly.  Most people don't see it coming.  The fact that you still enjoy food is a good sign.  When depression gets bad, many people either lose their appetites or eat compulsively without pleasure.  With that said, a lot of colleges offer free counseling services, and I think they are worth taking advantage of.   


So blog thread, I have not slept properly in almost two weeks.  I'm averaging three or four hours a night.  It is ridiculous and my eyes are so sunken with dark circles that it looks like I've been punched in the face.  I swapped wine for herbal tea, read boring books for an hour before an appropriate bedtime, and none of it worked.  All I can manage is a few hours of really fucked up awful dreams.  Last night I dreamt that my cat chewed off his own toe and bled all over.  It was terrifying and I woke up almost crying.  I think I should maybe seek help.

Ughhh I have actually been eating compulsively. I have been eating for like hours at a time? It's pretty bad.

Those dreams don't sound like fun at all though / : I would definitely seek help for that, sleep is really important for your physical health as well too.

Bleh, I don't know. Everything that's been going on has made me feel real tired.

I'm the last person to give anyone advice but I think that anyone who is even moderately aware of the suffering which is manifest on this planet and never ever gets down about it must be an idiot.

Almost as much of an idiot as someone who allows it to then consume their life.


I'm not sure if you were directing this at me but I wasn't even referring to stuff going on in the world, just regular my-life stuff. Which I know is pretty small potatoes.

Man... this blog thread has really given a weird glimpse into some people's lives...

I'm still pretty new around here, so I don't actually know that many of you that well. But it seems like every day I come in here and find you guys talking about or doing something so cool that I am just amazed. And you are all genuinely nice, nutty (in a good way), and all-around mind-blowingly awesome. Please do not think I am just talking about the big group of "regulars" either, almost everyone who has posted in this thread in the past few weeks has really impressed me.

But man you guys, like Slick, and DBR, and especially Emaline, I just read about your lives and am slightly dumbfounded. You are some of coolest people to listen to. And you just have SO MUCH crap in your lives. You do not deserve it. I can't really explain it but every time I read your stuff I can't help but think that such cruddy stuff should not happen to such great people. And I know, I'm sure you'd all say you're just human and nothing special. But you impress me, and that's what counts (for me at least). Part of me is sad that the world would let some of this stuff happen. But the fact that you can still be so cool really gives me a nice feeling.

I'm sorry to gush over everyone. But I'm procrastinating a Philosophy paper, and this has been in my mind for a while now. I guess I just wanted you to know that other people are reading this, and wondering about your lives and hoping you're doing ok and really thinking about you, even if we don't know you (did that come off as creepy?).

I've always loved a good story myself. The blog thread, in the various incarnations it has seen, has been a great source.

Dear blog thread,

I am feeling pretty bad for one of my fellow contestants, a girl named Xhosefin. She's a really nice girl, she's got an amazing voice, and she's got musical sense that I'd love to see in some of the musicians I've played with in the last couple of years. But the poor girl has been having a lot of trouble with the song she's supposed to sing ("If I Were A Boy" by Beyonce) because her sense of timing is way underdeveloped. As a result, she'll start singing before she's supposed to, or she'll be a measure late. The worst part is that she knows just how badly she's screwing up, but only catches herself when it's too late. And it frustrates the SHIT out of her.

I'm going to try and help her today when we have some downtime. She's doing better than this one guy named Deshamiri (he has the same timing problem but worse, and he is absolutely tone-deaf without any musical sense whatsoever), so maybe there'll be time to help save her from the voters' chopping block. After all, I've made friends with her, so I'd like to see her stick around a while. I kindof owe her one, too, since she's sortof volunteered to be an interpreter for me just so I can understand what's going on (my Albanian is really not amazing). We'll see how things carry on.

Other than that, yesterday was pretty uneventful. Ran into a friend of a friend, who was way more excited to see me than anybody else I've run into in a long time. Turns out she goes to the school that the TV station has partially transformed into a studio for us. It was nice to have somebody to talk to who I could understand. That has been really getting me down.

Love,
Me!

Also I went wandering this afternoon and ended up in the awesome shopping strip through Paddington and ended up buying a pair of bright red pointy flats, a raspberry crochet beret, and a black and white checked button-down shirt for $32 all together. I win at shopping!

But I can't just take an open-ended break from school right now and there are certain issues I can't just make go away and ugh.

Bleh, I don't know. Everything that's been going on has made me feel real tired.
I can only provide my own perspective on this as someone who's experienced depression on and off for as long as I can remember. I'll organize my thoughts as best I can.

If you're comfortable providing it, some additional information could be useful in assessing how to approach your problem. Specifically do you think you have been depressed in the past and have not realized it? Or is this a new thing? It's possible you don't have a chronic problem, which would be something to be thankful for.

Just general advice that I would give is, one, your feelings of depression will pass, eventually. Which isn't to say they might not return at some later date, but I have found that it is useful to some extent to realize that the bad feelings will not persist indefinitely. I know personally that when you are depressed it is difficult to really get a handle on this - it's hard to be patient when you're in pain - but part of the feedback loop of depression for me is this fear that... the negative feelings are tied up into who I am? And I panic because of that fear. Thinking back to a time at which I was at an even keel reminds me that I'm capable of not being in this shitty state and allows me to look forward to that.

That your day-to-day life is "small potatoes" shouldn't be of importance to you. Recognizing that other people have things worse than you does those other people no good, so why bother worrying about that? You have a right to your feelings. Your depression isn't something you did, it's not a rational thing you can control (not that you are completely helpless, but neither are you supremely powerful in this). You shouldn't feel guilty about it.

At the worst points in my life, which were fairly recent, I found that self-actuated cognitive therapy worked fairly well. Try to identify the sources of your depression, the thoughts or ideas that trigger it, and write out rebukes to those thoughts and ideas. This is basic Stuart Smalley self-help crap, and while it feels silly, I've found that it has actually worked. I've come to believe things about myself (namely that I have worth) that I never would have bought a year or 10 years or 15 years ago. You can train yourself to think in a way that helps you resist these feelings. And even if at first you find that the things you once enjoyed no longer give you pleasure, persistence in those activities should help. There has been some research published which suggests that emotions often follow actions, which contradicts normal thinking about this sort of thing.

I am really tired and I have work and class in the morning so I'll spare you the rest until tomorrow, maybe, if you'd like to hear more of my ideas. But you've been a wonderful sort in my dealings with you and I really do think that you ought to be happy.

Bloggity Blog Thread,

I think it's time my kidlet start going to preschool instead of daycare.  I feel really bad about having to move her since she loves her current daycare, but she needs to start learning stuff!  Fortunately, I found a preschool about 30 yards from my office that may have openings.  We'll see if they cost way too much for me.  It'd be so neat to be able to see my kid on my lunch break sometimes!  And how easy it would be to grab her when she's not feeling well!!  I really hope they don't cost too much.  We're looking at moving in the next year or so, and if I put her in this school, because it's by my work, she wouldnt have to change again.  That'd make the transition easier for her, I think.  I dunno.  We'll see how it goes, I guess.  And oh man, it'd make it SO easy for me to get my hours back at work. 

Because my work was moved to another building, I've had to cut 2.5 hours a week, just to get home at a normal time and see her.  If she's right next door, that wouldn't be a problem anymore!!!!  Oh, the perks I'm seeing.  I'm also seeing waking up hella early to get her grumpy butt dressed, but whatever.  I'm crossing my fingers that this works out ok.

It's been since the end of December/start of January, I can't remember exactly. Shit's upsetting.

Dear eojgosiemrgoim,

Looks like Xhosefin figured her timing problems out by herself! That makes me feel really good, because now she is better than more than one other contestant! It's also sortof inspiring news for me. If she can fix a problem as tough as building up an internal metronome, then I can get over being camera-shy. And, as it turns out, I've made major steps in that direction already. For example, now I can look at the camera and not start forgetting shit! Next step: looking alive!

Love,
Me!

Dear Snog Thread

Today I witnessed gun crime. It was one of the more unpleasant experiences I have had for a while - a friend and I were walking down the main street of our neighbourhood when we heard a loud bang, not unlike a bottle being run over by a car, but when we turned we saw that on the other side of the road to us there was a guy standing with a gun in his hand in front of a shattered window. Inside the shop (it was a hairdressers), two men were lying on the floor, but we could not see things very clearly. The gunman ran inside the shop, waved the gun a bit, and then scarpered off down a side street. Much to our relief, both men inside stood up again before running into the back room of the shop. Luckily no one had been hit. There is a lot of gang activity around here, but it very rarely occurs in such a busy area, especially not at 6pm. It was all very surreal, and over incredibly quickly. The police, to their credit, arrived remarkably quickly, however both the gunman and the two men in the shop had already fled. What an adventure, I hope such things do not happen again soon.

Smog breath,

I have good news and bad news.  The bad news is that I hate writing papers, and they are relentless.  My Japanese History teacher decides to give us a take-home midterm due in a week, extending the essay question to 5 pages instead of 2.  Normally, I could handle this, but I also have to do a two-page paper (just finished that a couple of hours ago), revise a 4-page paper I have and add citations (this takes me the longest, even when I plan ahead of time, I just get to thinking "oh, this won't take long, I can procrastinate"), read 150 pages of textbooks, and do some programming homework.

The good news is I haven't gotten anything less than a 90 on any of my assignments so far.  Hopefully this pattern will continue. 

Even better news, though, is that I got my paycheck and tax refunds this week.  Now I can pay off my credit card, buy new tires which I sorely need, pay my car insurance, and still have a considerable amount of money left to spend on beer!  I've already picked out a couple glasses that I want, as well as a sampler case, one or two large bottles, and about 3 six-packs.  I can also finally continue paying off the loan I took out to fix my transmission!

Blag,

So the professor/judge guy has been hounding me to give him more emotion. So I sang "Half The World Away" by Oasis, which is the most emotionally relevant song to my life as of the last 5 or 6 years. I gave him some goddamn emotion, and he was very, very happy. I was a little depressed because the song reminds me just how far away everybody I love is, but I was glad he finally didn't have anything to critique, so it wasn't as bad.

Oh and when everybody told this dude Deshamiri just how much he sucks at singing, he decided to serenade that girl Xhosefin with a song about how she is just jealous of his guitar skillz. Thank christ I am not that big a moron.

Love,
Me!

Blog thread, I feel horrible. One of my favourite supervisors at work congratulated me on my engagement last night (she is one of my Facebook friends) and her reaction when I explained it was not a real real engagement made me realise how childish it seems to anyone who isn't part of the loop. And it reminded me of exactly why I used to keep Barmymoo and May as two seperate people. Now I feel horrible and guilty that she felt embarassed about the whole thing and I'm not sure how to get rid of this feeling.

On the plus side I finish work at 5.30 today and have tomorrow off, so some friends are coming over for dinner and I can get some college work done. I also have Monday off, which is actually fairly standard but I've done so much overtime lately that it feels like a novelty. By the end of today I'll have worked 22 hours this week, which is a lot for a part-time job.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single bartender in possession of a friday night off, must go out, get blind drunk and be completely useless for work the next day. Luckily I was on cellar shift so I just hung out back of house and smoked and did very little work, although I nearly threw up when I got showered in beer after putting a coupling on a keg wrong

This is no big thing! You just shouldn't present it as some terrible thing you did, you should say "oh that's a silly thing my friends and I were doing" and if you have to say it was all the other person's idea and you got peer pressured. But it's just harmless fun.

In KvP life news, I have learned of the housing market to come next semester and so I have become intent on moving out by August. In past months I have not been very successful in swaying my parents to my POV on this, but as I was waking up today I heard my mom and dad talking about it out in the living room and my mom expressed that she was "almost convinced that he can handle it". So I just need to push a little more.

Blog thread. Today, I am very bad at English. Maybe Russian.

Today I unplugged the internet from PC so I could work on assignment. When I finished, I thought "oh, great, I can play TF2 now!". So I plug the internet back into PC.

But internet is nowhere to be found. In fact, internet light on router is not on. And customer service is only open Monday till Friday 8-20.

This has made Snalin a very sad boy. Luckily for Snalin, all not lost, since some stupid neighbor has wireless and no password, but that's no enough for TF2. The afternoon and night will consist of combination Frets on Fire and meebo. Not worst day, not best.

I do the same thing. You do it because the potential for delicious is there. Also maybe because you want to try every kind of beer?

I guess this is true.  St. Patty's day is coming up soon, and my friend's going away party, so I'm trying to figure out what I should bring to the festivities.  But I'll be damned if it isn't an expensive process.  Oh well, my tax refunds should cover me.

Hi blog thread,

I had a shitty week at work that really stressed me out a lot, my kid has become afraid of the dark and wakes up a lot during the night, and I was really really hoping for a relaxing fun weekend.  So far, it is not working out as I had planned.

dear diary,

I met this girl again to-day. She asked me if I was weirded out by the things that happnened on wednesday, but I said I wasn't, just kind of stressed out because of work (which was true). Now I'm entirely confused, because I still might want to continue (a feeling that surprised me) that kind of "fling" that we started, but it didn't happen to-day. I'm vaguely dissapointed because of that, which confuses me. But I have decided that drama is still better than a boring life, we will see what happens!

Dear Blog thread,

I love my bass. I love my bass. I love my bass.

I wanted to make some noodles, but I don't have any milk. But that's fine because I found a little bag of walnuts in my cabinet and some cheese, so I'm good.

Also, man, I love my bass.

Are you making carbonara? God that shit is delicious. Like, god, the world needs to take a moment's attention away from red sauce (which is also delicious!) and temporarily redirect it toward a nice hot steaming plate of penne carbonara. Best fucking dish on the face of the planet and that is a Fact.

Dead blog thread,

Today, we had a bunch of Kosovars join our group. Apparently they won the competition that was in Prishtinë. Deshamiri decided to play his classical guitar yet again (this is like what, the third time?). His choice in pieces was great, it was some Spanish composer. And this time he didn't sing, thank fuck, but his guitar's B string was painfully out of tune. *sigh* Poor guy just can't win.

Also, today, I Ted Leo'd the shit out of the show. I did his medley of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps" just as a joke, because I am friggin' sick of the constant seriousness. They loved it. And when I was forced to sing the same crappy songs we've been singing for a week, I told them I was gonna do it with my guitar or I was gonna sit it out, and so they were like "Okay fine you can play your guitar." And so they tried turning on the canned music, and I'm just like "Oooopah, no no no. None of that crap. We're doing this my way." So I took that "Fairytale Gone Bad" song, sped it up, and gave them the energy they've been trying to force out of me for a week.

Love,
Me!
