That is interesting vj :thinking: I don't have a problem with reading something online from a while ago. My mind still registers it as being in the past. Do you not feel the time difference when you read something from the past then?

Yeah, same for me. I was wondering exactly what you meant, vj.

Oh, maybe it is just me then. But, like do you ever read old things you're wrote and think "hah, that's something I would never post today" or just isn't relevant or something that crosses your mind/a part of your life at all? Now imagine someone else reading it, do you think they would necessarily have that same feeling about it? Or when you watch The Breakfast club, I imagine you think of Molly Ringwald as a teenage girl (as she was at that time) and not as a 40-something that she is today.

It's not like I don't know the time difference is there, but sometimes I forget that things change over time, maybe? Just about everything I know about all of you, I've read through posts or read through chats. That's how you interact, or "live"online, as opposed to face to face relationships where is based on that face to face interaction. Online you can make something that happened a year ago feel literally like yesterday by reliving the moment through reading it again. For face to face interaction, it's all contingent on your memory. Things that happened longer ago, you remember less of, it feels like longer ago. Am I making sense?

Does anyone else find that Pepsi makes them feel warm and... cozy, I guess? I don't know if it's the rush of caffeine and sugar, or what, but lately I've found myself drinking it for the fuzzy feeling of it. Maybe it's the bubbles.

I think I understand what you're saying, but I don't really get that online. When I read something online that I know is from the past, it "feels" old to me, like looking at an old photograph.

I can't stand this so-called 'life' of mine. It will get better they always say, but the change never pays me a visit and life conditions return as usual to the low standards they usually are. At this moment, I am losing electricty and getting physical and verbal abuse at school away from making a complete reversion back about 13 years. Why is it that despite the feeling I have lost my ability to hold my sanity together, I would rather hope for someone else to force feed me a .45 for brunch, rather than just do it myself and get it over with? The last attempts failed badly. I have nowhere else to go and this house is literally killing me.

Prooooobably. Caffeine doesn't seem to trigger my migraines most of the time, though. The major triggers for me seem to be stress, not eating on time, allergies, and sleeping too much/too little. And maybe dehydration, still not sure about that one.

Do you get migraines, Remus?

Bought some new crochet hooks! I still want my other one but for now these will do. Now I have an assortment of sizes, cool. Think I might give up on the blanket though, only because it's such a huge project. When I started it I didn't realize how large it would have to be, given the length of the edges. Noob mistake I suppose. What should my next project be...? :thinking: (don't say scarf - those are too easy)

socializing just feels so totally and utterly futile for me. I never make progress these days with it despite trying. I don't know why i'm even trying anymore.

Am I the only one who's kind of OCD about numbers. I don't know why but I get annoyed by numbers that aren't multiples of 5. Whenever I get a result that's 73 or 22 or 49.321, it just feels...disorderly? I don't get bothered by every single number I see, just sometimes when I'm looking at statistics or something.
