I ran out of general food recently..

Just go to the store Jai. At this time, the people working don't give a damn. I guarantee you they'll be too busy counting down the seconds until the end of their shift to worry about you being up at this time.

Edit:

Got a bit of a gear grinder/oiler. I might be moving to Japan for a few years. I'm excited, but also terrified. I'll need to ask shem for some advice on how a westerner can integrate themselves into an asian society. Will need to book a basic Japanese language course too.

Good news is my girlfriend said we can live in Tokyo.
 
What's Grinding My Gears?

The fact I never get to do something fun. I get up early, go to school, come home, do nothing, go to bed, and repeat. Not to mention my school gives us a project, then gives practically no freedom. What would be a fun assignment, is gone because they put insane amounts of restrictions. Plus we have to present them in front of the class. Where's the option for people who hate presenting? Knock ten points I don't care. Then the weather finally got good enough to get to go karting, and my "friend" has to go and freaking break my wrist because he's too retarded to realize cutting someone off on a bike isn't what you do. Now I'm not able to go karting until the Spring, and last spring my parents said the weather was too bad. Then the chance to run in the 24 Hour race on GT5 comes up! Sure, I'll do that, it's what I love to do, race. Problem is AT&T is terrible, and I'm sorry if you work for them but you better fix your problems. Worst part is I can't do anything about it, I'm not the one paying for internet that gives about 1/4 what we were supposed to get. So now, since the upload speed is just as good as dial up. And I'm not kidding.

This makes me realize that, no matter what I do, I'll never get to race. Never. I'm to poor. I'll never be able to learn how to do the work myself, I'll be stuck paying someone to do it. I won't get to do something I enjoy. All my dreams of owning a Skyline, are gone. I'll be stuck driving petty econo boxes, going to a boring desk job, waking up early, and becoming another zombie, doing all the same things everyday. No enjoyment, no fun.

tl;dr: I'm bored.

My cat jumped at my face. Dry blood keeps coming off my lips, the taste is grinding my gears.

Pretty much the same thing going on over here Crispy. :(
 
Blood isn't the most appealing taste, no..

I once had to drink loads as it was dripping from my nose after picking it too long when I was 5..
 
I wouldn't know what iron tastes like...

I can't seem to get off here and go to sleep. Another gear grinder, a daily one at that. GTP, a little too fun in my eyes.
 
@Crispy.
A sad tale indeed, mine too in fact, but my attitude has changed it all. I'm never stressed, frustrated, or unhappy. I am thankful for these traits; they save my life.
 
Wouldn't the metal weigh you down?

EDIT - Oh, now that I thought about it I know what your on about.
 
Not if there are only little bits of it. Too small to make a noticeable difference really.
 
I like how people say they're poor when they have a Xbox 360, a PS3, a good computer, internet, a cell phone, food, etc. You want to see poor? I have to survive on beans and crackers until dad gets his paycheck on Thursday. We have no bread or lunch meat. You know what is poor? Your sense of awareness of others around you.

Exactly. (By the way I didn't say I was poor currently, just I can tell I will later on in life) I see so many people on Facebook talking about how much their life sucks because they didn't make the cheerleading team, or football/basketball team. I don't really get it.

I got a good life, I know it. I shouldn't be complaining. But sometimes things just come out and get you down, so you need to vent. Thankfully I have a good girlfriend who will cheer me up all the time. :)

This is no bro-off, I was just saying; iron deficiency is no joke.

God I hate Anemia. My dad has it, and so do I. That's probably why I'm feeling down all the sudden. I have nearly all of those symptoms. (Except menstrual stuff, I don't work that way :lol:) It sucks. Thankfully I don't have the the deadly kind of Anemia, just the annoying type.
 
Okay, just pulling my daily all nighter..


Speaking of Girlfriends.. Am I the only one here who stays well away from them? It isn't worth it considering the apparent pain people feel in a break-up.. So I don't bother in the first place..

(No, that doesn't mean I like men..)

You have my sympathy.


Just remember; a friend in need is a friend indeed, but a friend with weed...

Me too, I have a TIGHT group of friends instead. To me, a girlfriend indicates a sexual bond. And what good is a sexual bond, unless... Well...

You're not alone there. But I just don't want to have to spend MY money on them. :p
 
I don't have any friends.. I suppose I'm just myself. I'm the kind who likes to keep all the conversation inside my head.. :p

I just realized that I consider you one of my favorite people on this site but I have no clue why. Curious...

Whassup Crispy, how you doin'?
