Cool! Good luck with the job hunt :)

gonna be a hell of a week

several suits of my firm being sued

Good luck on the job hunt Antonio :).

Congrats!

First day on the job today - learned that I will be spending my days converting old documents that are archived in the old company database to a newer database, and then redrawing all the accompanying images in AutoCAD to be saved to the new database with the appropriate document.

Woke up today at around 2, with smoke alarms blaring and smoke billowing under my door. Wouldn't you know it, my living room was on fire. I had some candles lit and for got to put them out, and those caused my plasma orb to explode. My bookshelf caught fire, fell over, now the floor was on fire. My parents were flipping out, my cat's tail was all big, and I was still drowsy and scared. My living is destroyed, the walls and floor are charred. Bogus.

That's too bad, man. Glad you and your family are alright, though.

woke up this morning i was in the middle of a dream

i was kissing Chris Evans in his Captain America get-up

Good day work wise with lots more coming so I'm really looking forward to payday this Friday. To celebrate I decided to go to the gym for the first time in three weeks and I can already start to feel my muscles cramping, the next few days are going to be brutal but it's a reminder that I need to start going more frequently, which I can thankfully do because school is out.

It was a blast. Managed to get in fo free, and score a free T shirt. And yeah, I got drunk.

going to a place called Auchengillan, have no idea where it is. I have no phone to take. This should be interesting.

Hmmm...only me in the office today so it's looking like my work contribution will be entirely dependant on my willpower and...yeah, this isn't looking good.

I stink like 2 days worth of work, beer, sweat and sex. And yet my motivation to go shower still hasn't kicked in.

Had two hours sleep... Been helping a mate prepare for his final year of architecture. Can't wait for this **** to be over.

feeling really sleepy and am having mild gastric

So I just realized that taking allergy medicine before you go to sleep gives you weird dreams. The other night it was the demonic beaver, and last night I was doing laundry in my dreams. How do you go from a demonic beaver to laundry?

You probably needed to wash your underwear after the demonic beaver encounter.

i've been having a lot of dreams about "The Avengers" lately

see a couple of posts before this for the weirdest one so far

i was making out with Chris Evans in his Cap America uniform

Well, that's a sex dream. Those are expected. This is just being attacked by a demonic beaver and doing laundry. WTF?!

My mum was driving home last night and stopped when she saw someone stood by the side of the rd. near a caravan on fire and as she got out it exploded. The fire brigade came but she said she still doesn't know if anyone was inside or not.

Petrol in 'cheaper than last week' shocker!!! :yikes:

In other news, Vertigo fails again to resize his avatar.

Bah!!

I feel well enough to not panic and think I'm schizophrenic. I had a few weeks of horribly manic bipolar states to worry me, but I think that I'm essentially okay now.

Granted, I'm not ruling schizophrenia out; I'm still at the stage where onset could occur. I'm just saying that it seems like it has been a horribly manic state, and something that can be all right.

I'll add to the dream thread, as far as the weirdness is concerned, but I think I'm going to be okay. I'm still manic-ish, but I'm not heavily hallucinating anymore.

Woke up, sat around listening to music, got ready to do something, then decided to just play with the dog. Now the cycle is repeating itself.

Took my sixth and final AP test today, that's a load off of my back. Now I won't essentially be doing anything very hard in class until graduation. I'm going to close the day by watching Shame, so if the movie's good (and if it amounts to half of Hunger, then it will be), then this will be a pretty good day.

Holy ****!

I was lighting a match right? So I could burn some incense. But I hit the match quite violently off the match box, like, for some reason a sword slash through someone
( I was all excited and worked up after watching Game of Thrones ) and I felt a sharp pain on the bottom right ( from my perspective ) of my neck. I started freaking out because I have this big fear about neck wounds and blood so I got a cd and looked into the reflection to see what was going on, there was like a small layer of skin hanging off as if i had skinned my neck, it was a burn. luckily it wasn't bleeding or I would have totally freaked.

I got a new job yesterday after a few months of unemployment. Start Monday, testing software, feels pretty good.

Hope the others looking for work at the moment score something soon too.

Congratulations man! What kind of software will you be testing?

Just home from Auchengillan, the banter was nice and plentiful :). On another note, I think all the outdoorsy stuff has made me more ill. It now hurts when I cough, sneeze and also breathe. I need a doctor, preferably now but tomorrow will need to do.

Edit: Done a 10k or something mountain biking around Loch Ard, it was soooo beautiful. I almost cried at the fact I never had my camera.

I just figured out while eating roast beef Ramen that it actually has little bits of roast beef in it.

That is both awesome and horrifying to me.

Ugh. It's all freeze dried.

Today I decided to leave the world of teenage alcoholism. That's a big deal for me. I've been homeless on two seperate occasions, and drank myself to sleep most every night, and I just felt terrible. But things are going a lot better, with my parents coming back a few weeks ago, and being more confident socially. Today I decided to discard my pessimism, and replace it with optimism.

So today I turned a new leaf. And it was a great day, too, got a hot girl's digits :)

Hence me being partially horrified!

Congratulations! That's great news! :D

Camping in the Highlands is something I really, REALLY want to do. Loch Lomond in particular really appeals, though the vaguely intrepid part of me wants to go up further. The pictures and footage I've seen are breath-taking. I just need to find the time and at least one other person who wants to do it too.

All the best to you mister. Way to go! :)

Hey thanks guys. I gotta be honest, I was expecting replies like: "You were a homeless teenage drunk? Your parents must be so proud."

They were tracked down a while back after they heard I was arrested for throwing a brick at a cop car. They support me entirely now, and things have been uphill since they bailed me out (figuratively). We've been rebuilding as a family, and today was the day I decided to turn around completely. The fire in my living room was a setback, though.

Dude, I grew up with an abusive dad and have struggled for years to deal with the scars from that. I regularly hang out in the single worst neighborhood in Louisville and meet or have met gang members, crackheads, the homeless, and several varieties of criminal. I'm really not a respecter of persons, and am really not surprised by anything any more.

But seriously. Good work, and keep up the good work. Don't let life drag you down, kick its ass and get up and going. :)

more steroids, more antibiotics and a brown inhaler :)

It's Friday and everything's good.

Thanks dude, I'm going to be testing hidden object 'adventure' games for old ladies and the super casual market.

Also best of luck to Mondo Bungle, I've known a few people in similar situations. Best advice I can offer (I'm no professional so take it with a grain of salt) is try to find a sense of balance, countering the pessimism with optimism isn't necessarily bad, but it's bouncing from one extreme to the other and both provide their own set of instabilities and pitfalls. Grounded balance might not be fancy or outwardly impressive to the socially ambitious, but you're far less likely to stumble when you've got a strong baseline established.
