Just finished watching Olympus Has Fallen and I must say it's an awesome film. Yes, it's a predictive and typical action movie where one man saves America and is miraculously never hit with anything, but I like those movies. Besides, Morgan Freeman is in it and is acting president for like 30 minutes. Now I'm just waiting for White House Down, which is exactly the same.

^ BlueDays, hello! :greeting:Yay Phoenixx! I hope you continue to enjoy it.
^ Yep, I've definitely been enjoying it.
The holidays are officially over for me. I haven't had a busy and social holiday week like that in a few years, it was fun but I am so relieved it's over. I'm happy to be sitting in my room today and taking a breather. It's a lazy day for me, I don't plan on going out anywhere or doing much of anything. I even slept until 10:30am today because I was so tired from this week and I'll probably still take a nap later.

So, once a week I meet up with some friends for a film evening, meaning we watch two movies together, some trailers and order some food. It's a comfy and relaxing way to end the weekend. We've been doing that for many years.
My best friend, who I know for about a decade, sits normally to my right. When enough people are there, the people sit very close, like leg to leg, on the couch (some on armchairs or so).
Sometimes she and I hold hands or something while watching the movies, just as signs of affection and not more.
Since a couple of weeks she leans over to my side and wrapers her arms around my right arm, and/or leans her head against my shoulder. I assume that is because she has an open relationship with her boyfriend, who sits at another place on the couch with his other gf, and she wants somebody to be close to.

So apparently I have a vitamin D deficiency. My level was just high enough to possibly be normal (20-30 ng/mL is normal range, mine was 20), but the doctor decided to have me try supplementing it with a controlled release supplement.
And it has helped a lot. I don't have as much muscle soreness or joint/leg soreness, I am recovering from work outs in about a days time versus taking a week before, I have more strength and have lifted more weight than ever before, and I am happier.
I'm happiest about the big increase in muscle recovery. Woohoo! :bigsmile:
So look out world. There's not much holding me back now. :bat:

I imagine how I feel is similar to how being dead ma feel. Not that I am simply energyless or tired (although I often am) but that I don't really feel but am still having the same experiences as always. I eat, sleep, work, play, all the normal stuff, but it all seems...fuzzy. Like my mind is more or less here, but the rest of me isn't. It's a really hard thing to explain and I'm probably doing it poorly, just if someone came in and said this has all been an illusion and I am actually no longer of the world I once was I would believe them.

So tonight there is at new years eve party at some friends place.
Not sure yet whether to go.
Reasons to go there:
- nothing better to do
- it's nearby
- a lot of people I like will be there
Reasons not to go there:
- it will be crowded
- you can't really leave early, since if you leave on a new years eve party prior midnight, people will first want to know where you are heading

Nervous today. Driving two hours to see my former best friend, whom I haven't seen in almost two years. We've drifted far apart, but I recently made the effort to reconnect. I know I'm not going to regret going, but I just can't help that little nagging ball of anxiety in my stomach. Wouldn't it be nicer to stay in bed and do nothing today?? Ah well, better get this show on the road..

Bought one of those little satchels or whatever they're called. I never really liked having stuff like that, I always liked having everything in my pockets, anything else that didn't fit was unnecessary.
The thing is, I need a place where I can put a water bottle (my mouth gets extremely dry after washing my teeth, which I usually do before leaving the house), some food (in case my stomach starts growling, I need to have something that I can eat even if I feel nauseated), and tissues (I must have sinusitis or rhinitis or something similar, I always wake up with a stuffed nose and I go through at least two paper tissues a day if I'm lucky).

Re: I never said I wasn't crazy
Might this be a self defence mechanism against prolonged exposure to dissatisfaction, stress and/or other such factors that drain you? I've been feeling half-aware for many, many years as well, and still have no clue where it comes from exactly.
Brains are weird. :I

Yeah I've had something similar to that for years. Probably since I was 15. Sometimes it's pretty bad other times it's not very noticeable, but it's always present to some extent. Basically, nothing feels real, everything feels/looks kind of like a dream, and I kind of feel disconnected. I think fuzzy is a good word for it.

Apparently they are a kind of sea squirt? I saw some of the truly big ones when I googled them. I trod on a sea squirt the other day, and it squirted me in the face, very different to the seasalp.
Remember getting a letter from Who's Who Among American High School Students (or College Students)? Or a letter from the National Honor Roll? Or saw an ad on Linkedin from the National Association of Professional Women? What do all these organizations have in common?
Answer: they use flattery to try to sell you things (membership, books, etc) that are worthless. They send you beautifully decorated letters that praise you on your achievements and basically stroke your egos. Sometimes they even call you too. Some ask you to pay for receiving an award. Some orgs allegedly gather your info and try to sell them to companies.

I admit to falling for the Who's Who Among American High School Students marketing pitch. It was so many years ago, maybe during sophomore year in high school, when I suddenly received a letter from them congratulating me on my "achievements". Of course, I was so proud of myself, at that time when I was a naive teenager, it felt like the world revolved around me. I forgot if I paid or not, to be listed on the book which they charged money for.

The year didn't start very well. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't hate or seriously dislikes anyone at all, except my grandma (though I never knew the reason). After midnight my family was all dancing and I (and a cousin of mine) weren't because we don't like dancing. I was pulled by my grandma to join in on them, against my will, but I let it slide because it was new year and my mum would get mad if I rejected (I tried to reject politely but that didn't work). Anyway I managed to get away after a few seconds. Later on I was sitting on the couch and she pulled me again. I felt I didn't have to let it slide this time because I had already done it, so I tried to reject again. At this point, she looked really creepy. My mum was next to us so she pretty much forced me to do it. I was going to do it for a few seconds and then get away, but she kept holding my hands tightly and then started like feeling me up or some shit. Not grabbing my butt as if joking, she turned me around and started getting her hands all over my chest and belly. It was ****ing creepy. At that moment I felt like I was being raped. My mum was right in front of me and she didn't even care, all she wanted was my aunt to take pictures of that moment. I asked my mum to stop it because she was going too far and I didn't want to be disrespectful, but my mum didn't give a shit. So I took her hands off me and got away from there, while my mum shouted I was being disrespectful or something.
Later on I went out with my friends, and with my pee shyness I really needed to use the bathroom but I simply couldn't do it in the one at the club we were at. Fortunately I managed to find a hotel that allowed me to use the restroom, and I left 5€ for the guy who let me in. He told me I had to buy something for like 1€, but I was willing to pay 20€ just to use that restroom, so I just gave him 5€ without buying anything. It was really painful and uncomfortable and I don't think I would've been able to make it home hadn't I used that restroom.
At least I managed to have some fun with my friends in between these two events. Hopefully I won't have nightmares about this. I'll also have to tell my sister about the pee shyness, since I told her I'd explain later why I needed to leave the club so suddenly and go home.

I didn't feel like going to that New Years Eve party yesterday, but then I went there anyway. One friend sent me a message why I wasn't there yet, and another said she made cookies for me that I'd get if I'd show up, so I did. I went somewhat late, so it wouldn't take that long until midnight.
When I was at the street at that friends place... Well, I see her maybe three or four times a year, so not really a friend... I forgot the number of the house she lives in. So after looking around for five minutes, I asked in the WhatsApp group of people I know in Cologne what her adress was, and the first reply of another friend was "hurray!" regarding my arrival and telling me the number.
Anyway, it wasn't as crowded as expected, so I greeted the people and grabbed a cup of orange juice (I never drink alcohol), and went to the patio. The people inside the flat were mostly people I didn't or barely new, but my close friends were on said patio. To my surprise, some had built up a board game and invited me to join the moment I arrived, and I gladly did.
The rest of the evening was ok. We played the board game, around midnight we left the house, some people fired up some rockets, photos were made, people were hugged, my closest friend gave me a kiss on the cheek. Some person I see only on that New Years Eve party each year surprisingly hugged me and knew my name (no idea where from).
Seeing a lot of happy couples didn't cheer me up that much, but still people tried to get me involved, so it wasn't all that bad.
Then we went back in, finished the board game, lit some of these flying chinese lanterns and let them fly after writing our wishes on them, then chatted some more and I went back home.
All in all it wasn't awesome, but still fine and I'm glad I went there.
