I finally gave in to my mother's pressure and set up a birthday party plan; I hadn't planned on it because I don't have a whole lot of local friends. So I picked a restaurant and a time for people to come, and then whoever wants to can come back to my house for drinking and revelry. Made a FB group and just told it to invite everyone I'm friends with. Within five minutes of putting it up, several people confirmed they were coming, including some I haven't seen in years! So excited now!
Things have been pretty great lately. I haven't been able to say that in almost a decade. More than just the birthday party, it's so nice to stop and realize I haven't had a bad day in a week; a few years ago having a good day was unheard of. meds+dog=happiness

I ate a lot of cherry pie last night. Weighed myself this morning, and I've lost more weight....... clearly I have found the ultimate weightloss solution.

Filed and cleared out some financial documents lying around. Gods, I feel so much more organised now.

Got to meet a hero I admire. Feel like I came off a bit starstruck and anxious but also, I managed to talk to her in complete sentences! So, there's that. :x

I got a lot of things done via college bureaucracy today, and usually I can't handle being on phones with random strangers it upsets my anxiety a LOT. BUT I DID IT BY MYSELF. Housing deposit paid, and things starting to get interesting. My sinus headache and my ears are going wonky, but at least I'll have a place to stay in January for uni. #adulting
The apple is cold, crisp, and sour as the juices fill your mouth. As you consume the fruit, you glimpse, for a moment, a massive, shadowy figure, Her snow-white hair framing a perfect, icy-eyed visage. Beneath you, a vast, perfect web of silken strands lies - and, for a moment, you realize that you too are part of it, weaver and strand both - and home.
I've been very preoccupied since I got home, but while I'm still thinking about it...
Pre-Thanksgiving shopping needs more exposure. My family time is limited so it was today that I went out Christmas shopping with my stepmother and sister. I've ended up with bigger calculated savings than I've ever managed on Black Friday once all the clearances rang through and the shops were pretty close to empty. Got tons of great new sheets/comforter for winter on top of being done with my Christmas shopping. Bonus - watching cat play with the giant oversized bags and make them crinkle.
Gather 'round, kids, and Portius will tell you of a Black Friday miracle.
Once upon a time, he attempted to add more memory to his computer. It then failed to power on. He put the old memory back in, and it still failed to power on. He then resigned himself to having broken the machine and waited for Black Friday to buy a new one, since it was super old anyway.
When he was snug in bed with a cat sleeping on his head and digging her claws into his beard, Portius suddenly awoke. He heard a noise that sounded like a very loud computer booting. He looked over to where the allegedly broken machine was sitting, still plugged into the wall, and he found that it had turned on. He then decided that it was too damn early in the morning to deal with such witchcraft and pulled the plug.
When he had properly awoken (and the cat had decided that his face was no longer an acceptable bed) he attempted to boot the allegedly broken machine once more, and it did so without any problems. Praise be to the Black Friday Fairy and her mechanical witchcraft.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.
I have joined the PS4 Masterrace, and picked up Fallout 4. I'll see you guys in 2017.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
@Talan Just along the local trail close to the mountains. It was rather awesome but a little longer then anticipated and also hadn't quite planned for this many ups and downs. Body's telling me 'hey, you, remember those muscles? you didn't use them in a while'.
Just found out I'm cleared to close on my house whenever I want, so I don't have to just wait around until December 17th. Just got to get insurance lined up and I'll bet set to move in.
I don't know if this is a rant or a rave, honestly. Very conflicted about it. But...
I wrote a thing the other night about my struggle with my bipolar and how I've changed since the beginning. I was just shy of crying while I wrote it. I didn't think it was going to amount to anything, I just have to get my emotions out somehow. It did, however, come out good. I've reread it twice now and fixed up a little bit of grammar and wording in places, but that's about it. I feel a lot better since I've written it, like I've been able to let go of a lot of memories that have hurt me. Anyways, now I have this 2.5 page "story" and I don't know what to do with it. I feel like I should share it somewhere, maybe it'll help someone else in the future, I just.. don't know. I'm starting to feel very self-conscious about it. I pretty much stripped down bare in it. But I did the right thing in putting it on paper.
I will be in Boston again on Friday, December 4th for those of you that are interested ( @Lisaera here's your advance notice!). I have another job interview. Wish me luck!

Cyndarinused Flamethrower! It was super effective.
I went on a date with someone and they told me they don't drink alcohol. Naturally, I was horrified and ran away screaming.
We're on our 4th date. LOOK AT ME BEING MATURE AND SHIT.
I just spent two hours putting Christmas lights on my dog's vest. Ignoring the fact that it's easier to stare at the sun than witness the brightness of these lights, it looks fantastic. I'll have pictures of him up soonish. Probably tomorrow, assuming I remember. But. Either way. He looks like a colorful sun walking around. I love it.
My phone camera skills are shoddy at best, so enjoy some video stills instead.
I don't usually fangirl over bands, but damn. I was less than four feet from the stage and my head is still at that concert. And I got a copy of the setlist off the stage. And bought a signed photograph. And my partner caught one of Casey's custom drumsticks for me. I am happy.
Also if you are a fan and Kamelot is playing somewhere in a 2-hour road trip radius from you, SEE THEM. Their performance was unreal.

Psh, two hour radius? I made an eight hour drive to Chicago for their Silverthorn tour back in 2013, and it was totally worth it. Even still, so very glad they hit my state for the first round of the Haven tour. Much preferred the 40 minute light rail trip into the city (with the venue on the same block as one of the stations, even!) to the 16 hours I spent in the car that day.

How much I enjoy this:
Mainly because my shop is like that. Today I just noticed the first commit it 14 hours ago, and the text says "As a project drags on".
Also, playing with the comment box.

Got a pass ^^ I am officially ready to graduate in 3 weeks!
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

Ooo, where'd you go?
