    I just burned my forehead on my oven. That's right, my forehead. Don't ask how...

    Don't feel too bad, I have managed to fall up stairs, slam my hand in the fridge door,
    and walk into a clear glass sliding door. :p

    Haven't walked into the sliding glass door yet because someone thoughtfully applied some owl decals back in the 70's, but last week I walked into the sliding screen door when I had the slider open and hadn't finished my morning coffee yet...o_O Fortunately the screen door was well made, so my ego was the only thing damaged.

    Ordered materials for a new set of arrows. Not only did they forget to include the black feathers (that's 1,50 eur dammit!) but also the shafts arrived full length. Now I have to shorten them myself. Ughhh.

    On vacation, some years back, I sneezed so hard that I put my head into the glass of an Alpine cottage door. Yep - broke it.

    I'm starting to think that some of you shouldn't be allowed out on your own! :superlaugh:

    That was years back. I've barely left the house since 2014.

    Physical depression sucks. Drugs are good, though. I have a clinical perspective on it, more so from writing.

    From my experience, the longer I didn't go out, the worse I got. I once went 2 weeks without going out, then I had an appointment to go to, and I found I was really anxious about going out the door. I knew that wasn't me, as I've never been bothered about going outside. I love the outdoors, and I enjoy walking. So I just went out anyway, but it was an interesting experience. Needless to say that I haven't stayed in that long since then.

    Getting out is usually good, yeah. Breathe the fresh air. Move around. Talk to people.

    Yeah, except I don't do the last one! :p

    I honestly couldn't describe my next door neighbour of two years to you, couldn't even pick him out of a line up.

    I love being outdoors, to sit in it, listen to it, breathe it in and savor it, feel it moving around me. Travel, not so much. I love to BS and talk it up at a party. I'm just wiped out for days. Clubs, bars, casino floors, noisy restaurants, multiple conversations - exhausting. Not quite autism...

    I don't mind travelling as such, it's more the people you get stuck with along the way that bug me. ;)

    I feel the need to know what goes on in this thread all of a sudden. Not sure why, but I’m commenting so I can :p

    today I went to a meet and greet with a couple of youtubers. Didn’t know them that well, but they seemed nice from the few video I watched: Safiya and Tyler. I felt really fucking awkward. Started out alright -told them they were awesome and asked them how Vidcon was... but then there was this horribly awkward silence. Then we took a couple of awkward pictures, awkward hugs, and then I ran away to where my little sister had been laughing her ass off while watching my dumb ass from afar. Not even going to try to look for those pictures on Instagram.

    Got a Markiplier jacket today, though... SO HAPPY!!! My one jacket that I brought with me smells like coffee since the guy sitting behind me at the Markiplier panel dumped his coffee down my back, though I didn’t mind at the time for some reason :p happy in general now :)

    Hmm, let's see. We solved whorled peas, perfected coldcut fusion...
    Glad you got your jacket! *emoji*

    True story: my hubby ran into a glass door. Shards embedded in his skin, blood everywhere. Manages to call the ambulance. Neighbor walks by, he asks: “everything ok?” My hubby goes “Yeah,” and the guy just walks away.

    The wounds bled so badly hubby was minutes away from bleeding to death before the ambulance got there, and this neighbor just went about his day.

    To his defense my hubby said he was ok...

    Uh.. sympathetic like? :bigconfused: Holy heck that guy deserves to be charged! If you see someone lying around in their blood, they're not okay and probably in no condition to judge that anyway. Man, people...

    At a restaurant the other night, I ordered a rare sirloin steak and got medium!
    And the red was served in such a small glass that I didn't have enough room to swirl
    it properly, so the first sip was flat and musty!

    The world has turned into a piece of shit. People are idiots!
