That's the one.

the ghost hunters perpetrated some fuckery there during one of their halloween specials, and in 1911, some woman blew herself up in a room after the power died, and she walked into a room holding a candle, which was being heated with acetelyne.

Knew it.

So, since SHE's mom is gone for the week, we've commandeered her HDTV to play video games (specifically AC4). Once SHE hooks up the xbox and we turn on the game, everything looks suspiciously yellow and purple. Like, REALLY yellow and purple. Edward Kenway looked like he was gonna die from liver failure (though that wouldn't be a surprise).

I spent over half an hour fiddling with SHE's TV settings, before it occurred to me to check whether or not SHE had hooked the xbox up correctly... and no. -_- No, SHE did not.

I'm home from my girlfriend's house (which is why you didn't see me forever).

 

I went there Monday of last week, and today is obviously Thursday.

 

So yeah. I was more than a little preoccupied.

 

But I'm back, at least for the next 3-4 days? Then I'm going back.

this is how i got out of getting ducks:

boozepony: how committed are you to having ducks, because i'm really not that much
me: i'm ready to carve their headstones, i'm the most ready, but i'm not going to do it if you aren't behind me.
bp: i just want to hold them for a little while and let them go.
me: i'm not doing this alone, you better decide or i'll cancel the order.
bp: are you threatening to abort our ducks?
me: we haven't even paid for them yet
bp: they're probably going to die
me: no they won't, i'm not buying ducks and digging a pond just so they can die
bp: your cats are going to eat them
me: then we can trade off every few days
bp: these aren't step kids, we're not having alternate duck weekends
me: i'm not being a single duckdad
bp: i'm not being a single duckmom
me: then let's not get ducks

I don't want to go to sleep because I don't want to wake up to another day of just...fucking nothing. Pretty sure I'm getting a touch of depression with my loneliness now.

As someone who deals with depression himself, my best advice is to go out and run a lot.

 

I find that by occupying myself with physical pain (It's not really "pain" though, it's just stressing enough that I keep my mind off whatever my mind wants to think about) the depression is lessened.

 

Alternatively, if you cannot run for whatever reason, I'd suggest laughing. No, seriously, I find that by laughing, personally, it can brighten my mood, even if nothing funny is going on. The side effect is you look like a freak, for laughing at nothing, so only do this in private.

Like this?

[legacyme3]

Hey, if it gets you to laugh, then sure.

 

I've legitimately laughed like that, and found myself laughing at the ludicrousness that was me laughing like that.

 

It's funny how contagious laughter can be.

ive gotten headaches from laughing

Forgot to mention, I got back from Colorado yesterday.

 

We spent a lot of time in Rocky Mountain National Park, driving all the way through one day and hiking around a lake the next. Other than that, I spent a lot of time on the playground at our motel with my nephews, who generally wore me out like they always do. A trip to the hot tub every night was mandatory.

 

A highlight of the trip was riding a go-kart with my older nephew (who turned 6 yesterday) in the passenger seat. It started raining super hard halfway through, and I spun out on a tight corner, which left us facing three oncoming karts. The other drivers were able to stop in time, but I was told that my nephew had a great :o expression on his face when it happened. The guys running the place let everyone pull back into the pit area until the rain passed, then they let us all go back out for the full time. The whole track was super slippery after this, of course, but that just made it more interesting. (One poor girl kept spinning out at the same corner every single lap. xp)

 

Also, there were chipmunks everywhere around our motel. And they were mostly unafraid of people since I suppose they get fed a lot. They'd come right up to us a lot of the time, often darting away and coming back from another spot. One of them started chirping at my brother and me when we seemed to be ignoring it.

 

Overall, had fun, saw cool stuff, got worn out, chipmunks are adorable, glad to be home.

One of these days, a Colorado chipmunk trio is going to get a recording contract for high-pitched covers of pop songs. You can say you knew them before they were famous.

back from mayhem fest and it wasn't very fun. i got super wasted with my friends which was fun, but there were way too many people packed into the stage area in direct sunlight. there were three stages, so two bands would always be playing, which means you only really get to see half of each set if you want to see everyone. ice t is a tremendous tool, and was actually wearing a bullet proof vest, because you know, hood stuff.

cannibal corpse was far and above the best set, and i took a security guard down with me crowdsurfing. they overlapped with trivium, who i had lawn seats for, and it was exactly like watching youtube with the volume up. i actually wanted to see them too, which was dissappointing because korn had to come out after and ruin the day by sucking. i left during korn because the only band left was avenged sevenfold, and i don't really like them.

i'm lobstered up bigtime, and i can still feel the sound in my head.

So, I asked a local store if they were hiring and the guy at the front goes, "Yeah, we are, but sorry, we only hire 18 and older." "...I am over 18." "Oh, you are! ...Wait, you are?" He then told me he thought I was 16. :|

Give it 10-15 years, and it probably won't bother you when people think you look younger than you are.

[Puffin]

I'm okay with people thinking I'm younger than I am- but really? Eight years off?

 

Although, I guess it could be worse. He could've said I looked like I was 14. It's happened.

[BottomGuy]

At least it's not the other way around. People always think I'm 2-5 years older than I am. It was cool when I was in high school, now it just makes me feel old.

[kspr]

you should grow a beard, it adds 6-8 years

[Puffin]

I'll consider your suggestion, Kasper.
