I haven't been on my meds in a few weeks. Can't afford em (first paycheck from new job, I swear). I thought for a while I was doing well without the anti depressants or anti anxiety meds, but then yesterday I realized I haven't been keeping up with my apartment. I've been eating poorly. But hey I wasn't feeling suicidal or anything!

........it hit me on the way home from work. Hard. The 'you know if you disappeared, no one would notice. they'd easily forget about you.'

So yeah. I need those meds back asap...

@Auspice I will say this for mumble rap. Despite my mega-loathing of it, I am glad to see that it has brought out a (very slightly) more LGBT-friendly side of the urban music community, especially with the guy from that (awful, just fucking -awful-) country rap song coming out as gay last month.

You probably shouldn't ride in my car anytime soon.

I fucking love that song.

On the other hand, rediscovering the same things over and over gives the world a certain freshness to it.

Okay, gramps. Did you take your meds today?

Who are you? Get off my lawn!

Mumble rap is retarded.

Mumble rap and crunk rap are sort of one and the same to me and the only genre(s?) I really don't care for.

@Auspice — I can just talk endlessly about the Witcher books instead. (Which I really should re-read before the series airs.)

Can you give me the.....

SparkNotes about them?

NO. BAD.

backs away from this conversation slooooooowly, so the motion draws no attention

So how bout them Final Fantasies?

returns to conversation, vehemently waving FF6 banner, accompanied by Terra's Theme, and wielding large stack of arguments why it is the best FF game... then realizes this is the TV thread and there's really no justification for starting that conversation here as well

I had to try.

@Auspice

Holy crap, I recognized every single thing in this post.

All hail the glow cloud.

There were a couple I missed. (What is the pudding reference??) But yeah, it gives me high hopes for this year's event.

I'm not sure there's any part of this that isn't awesome. I love this musician:

I have loved this cover of Africa since it first went up.

Edited because it shows how fucking long my workday was that I mixed up DA and Witcher.

...I need more sleep.

I really, really wish I knew what to do about my reaction to summer. The heat goes up, the day stretches long, and suddenly my sleep is on the fritz, my anxiety ramps up, and I start to mentally shut down. Yesterday was sunny and hot - I slept until 3 PM and couldn't drag myself out of bed for another hour, I couldn't even motivate myself to make caffeine, and I had no desire to do anything at all.

Today? Overcast and in the 60's-70's. I'm up early, moving around, thinking clearly, happy and laughing and getting things done.

This is a yearly problem and I have yet to find a solution. It builds up, too, until the weather finally cools down and I hit my stride again. It's exhausting, literally the largest problem in my life, and I know it can't be healthy, but I really don't think there's anything that I can do about it. I'll be trying out blackout curtains once I have some income again, but AC isn't an option.

So, just venting.

I was actually just reading an article about how Seasonal Affective Disorder also hits people in the summer, too, just in a much smaller portion of the population than those affected by winter. The theory is basically that the high levels of light fucks with natural circadian rhythms and heat disrupts sleep, making brains and body hormones go haywire. I definitely recommend trying out the blackout curtains ASAP, for both heat and light reasons.

In the meantime, if there's any consolation in having company in the face of your misery, well.... at least you know you're not the only one?

ETA: Try Target for the curtains if money is tight. I just went to check prices on their website because I remember getting the old ones for our apartment, which had single-pane glass windows older than my parents and was therefore always freezing, really cheap. We got ours at JCPenney for something like $12 on clearance. The ones I just saw are Target are $8-$10.

Thank you for the Target suggestion. I've just got a blanket over my window rn and I totally need to upgrade it.

I'm just gonna keep posting good things in this thread and you all can't stop me.

The US women's soccer team is fucking awesome and I love this move. It's beautiful visual trash talk.

I'm gonna participate in the steochalong this year, urged on by a local fiber group I sometimes do stuff with.

It's a mystery cross stitch challenge. Check it out.

Coworker brought a fuck load of Popeyes to work for everyone. This pleases me greatly.

Uhhhh does the google search page have birthday candles for everyone today or is just more evidence of sloppy-ass management of personal info?

Mine is about women's soccer.

I signed the paperwork for new job today.

I start 9am next Monday. Casual dress (thank God no more uniform for me!).

It's a short contract (vs a permanent position). But that's all I need. I'm also working on my alternate teaching certification courses and I hope, by the time this job is done, I can have a teaching position lined up.

...in the meantime I'm just gonna be back to super busy like I was when doing my degree.
