My eyes are in desperate need of an exam. Getting the pressure checked would be nice, too, even though that probably won't be needed for years. (Paranoid about glaucoma.)

It takes practice, man. I didn't even know how to cook eggs when I was younger, but today I can cook lasagna (as long as I periodically consult the recipe). Get a recipe for some food that you really like and have a go.
Always wanted to try making lasagne. My parents have a stack of cooking books they never use, I'll take a look at those. Though if I follow a recipe, I tend to be excessively meticulous and quadruple check everything to make sure I'm doing it right. Thanks for your suggestion!

It's okay if you meticulously follow a recipe. Make sure you get it right before adding ingredients that you want/like. You'll be a master in no time.

Back in high school it took effort for more to eat veggies because they seemed so bland, boring, and dry. I'm amazed at how much I've come to love them. I'm not kidding when I say I crave them sometimes. I crave junk food too, but I find that happens most often when I let myself get too hungry or I've been eating crappy for a few days and am stuck in a cycle of bad eating/cravings. Now I salivate at the thought of broiled asparagus or steamed cauliflower. Crazay.
In other, non-food observations (been talking about that too much lately)... it's overcast and chillyish and I'm not liking it one bit. Warmer weather will be back soon though!

I'm so mature... the first story from this thread currently has me laughing like an idiot: Why is it so embarrassing to be caught farting? [Archive] - Straight Dope Message Board
Don't ask about the Google search I did :B

Hahaha. I hadn't even realized that! No, I didn't do a Google search because of any passing of gas I did. I was actually looking up why beans make people gassy, lol. Apparently it's because of the carbs in them. And I haven't eaten beans recently, so...

There are so many songs and other creative works out there regarding relationships, love, sex, and anything else in that realm.
But for me, all of those things seem to sap my creativity. It seems that I go through periods of asexuality, and whenever I do, I produce way better ideas and just wanna put them all on paper. When I concern myself with love, lust, and other stuff too much, I don't come up with hardly anything.
This is very strange.

awww, that was sweet of her.
It must be very frustrating living so far away from her?:thinking:You often read that we should should not be so hard on ourselves because everybody has their own problems.
What puzzles me is how so many people manage to "hide" their problems from the public so well, and "appear" to have it all together? While there are some that find it extremely difficult to do this.
I would love to know what their secret is.:idontknow:

It's a little frustrating, but there's not much we can do about it, unfortunately.awww, that was sweet of her.
Different personalities, I suppose, and different coping mechanisms. I have been told that I'm the last person they'd have thought had depression, because I'm always smiling and appearing quite jovial. Sometimes what you see on the outside doesn't tell you the story of what's happening on the inside.

That is the part that bewilders me.
How do people manage to keep up the appearance that things are ok with them, all the time?
How do you find the energy to be "smiling and appearing quite jovial" all the time?
I can only manage it for a very small amount of time, then I can no longer sustain it.

It is called putting a brave face on it. Don't ask me how they do it they must be made of sterner stuff than you and I.
