Austin is not hipster central anymore. A lot of them died off.

Thank the Maker.

Oh yeah, for the procrastinators on the forum, the best "advice" is "Just get started." No pressure to get done, just do that first thing.

The other great advice: if it's truly important, you'll "find the time."
With the ever vital subtext that if you don't somehow magically fit it into your schedule, clearly it wasn't important enough you horrible person, you.

@surreality

And that is why I hate that "if it's important, you'll make the time" shit. Because it tries to guilt you into feeling bad about the relaxation that is so vital. Any therapist, hell even most doctors will insist you take that time off to unwind. Give your mind and body a break. Especially as you get older.

Play with your kids. Watch some TV. Read a book. RP. Engage in a hobby that you enjoy. I watch Netflix while I eat, before sleep, and between poses now. My other 'downtime' is games like Elite Dangerous, because it still engages my brain (that way I still feel like I'm keeping things kicking up there while having fun).

I am a slow-ass knitter. Seriously. I am so slow.

And I am constantly being pestered to sell my knitting. No. Nope. Not gonna happen. Then it becomes pressure and then it becomes ruined as something relaxing.

Years ago I had someone, IRL, who I had met all of twice, send me an email with a lengthy rant about how I should/would die alone, suffering, etc... because I wouldn't let her friend steal credit for a website I'd built.

...I admit I felt a bit of karma when she was found dead in her home a couple years later. I felt bad about it after the feeling had passed, but the feeling was there.

@Auspice said in RL Anger:

Celebrating death just feels uncomfortable. Like someone, somewhere is probably grieving. Let them have their grief and just... walk away.

If I'm at the point that I want someone to die, chances are I'll feel nothing when they are dead. Neither joy nor remorse.

Because their life and death meant that little to me.

That's how I feel with hate. Hate takes effort. If I feel that negatively about someone... why waste the effort on them? I'm just going to feel nothing, instead.

Migraine meds were awesome.

I mean minus the inability to drink soda anymore, paresthesia, lack of hunger signal....

They were awesome. 1-2 migraines a week? I was living again (mostly)!

... I'm on migraine #3 this week.

Shit.

What I appreciate is the effort @WTFE puts into the photography of his problem.

@Meg I went out on the patio to have a cigarette and my cat is scratching on the door like I'm on fire and he wants to help make the fire go away.

I've got a really codependent cat.

Our cats should get together and bug the fuck out of each other. I've had to fend mine off all morning.

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE I PLANNED TO LICK MYSELF TO MAURY TODAY

Answer?

BECAUSE I AM WHERE I PLAN TO LICK MYSELF TO MAURY TODAY.

@Derp

'What my stomach can handle' usually narrows the field a lot on my end, too. I love spicy food in general, for example, but there's plenty of times I cannot eat it. Same goes for dairy, greasy food, etc.

Overall I, the person, am not a picky eater. The stomach contained within can be depending on how badly the various issues I have are affecting it on a given day. So it's usually the biggest dictator as to what gets eaten.

But once I give the parameters, I am happily in the realm of 'anything goes.' I love trying new food, even, which is why I often don't want to choose. Introduce me to new, plz!

I'll let you into the cat faction. I'll teach you the secret paw shake.

@Ghost's SO did take it in stride that I had covered the room in the hotel suite for them in rose petals and photos of Van Damme.

And not even in just a '...gawd Ghost your internet friends are SO WEIRD' way.

So yeah, I think it's super safe to say I'm p cool. by my music tastes. Right?? (Nothing as cool as a 30 year old white woman singing like she's a gangsta 'Where the hood at?'.)

Someone saw the same imgur post I did last night.
