    I feel listless lately. Not all the time, but I hate when I get the feeling that everything I'm doing has no purpose other than occupying my time for the present.

    I wish I didn't live in a college town during the summer. Things will improve when classes get started and everyone is back in town, but during the summer there is nothing to do but bar-hop, and guess who isn't 21? (One more year... Sigh.) I guess I will be watching Shark Week tonight. I am trying to tell myself that this is a good thing. If I were out partying, I wouldn't have the opportunity to study for finals, right? :rolleyes: :(

    I am also just feeling pretty lonely right now.

    Edit:
    Well said.

    I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with my stomache ache. It's been hurting in the past days and I'm not sure why. Probably I ate something wrong or maybe I'm still not used to eating less white rice than before? (I always have to have at least a small bowl of white rice as it is part of my daily diet.)

    I hate feeling guilty for spending money on myself. I'm allowed to splurge now and then, right? I mean, I'm almost always responsible for my money... and yet, when I cashed my full check this week instead of putting it all in the bank ($109), I felt guilty. Majority of my checks go fully into the bank.... why does this feel so bad, then? :mad:

    Let's see.... I went to the movies with my sister (god, movie theaters are expensive), paid DVD late fees, bought two DVDs... nothing too exciting.

    very productive and sensible purchases - absolutely no reason to feel guilty. Was the film good.

    Aaahh! I have to write a short story for my uni's magazine due in two weeks. This isn't great since my writing hasn't been good lately. Panicking now. I don't think there's a story I've already written that I can really use either.

    Bah, I better start thinking of some ideas and get writing it. It'll need some serious editing whatever I produce.

    Two weeks is plenty of time. The deadline will motivate you as it bears down. Most of my reviews are written about two (or less) days before the deadline.

    Yeah, the deadline will indeed motivate me. Hopefully my friend can have a look at it too so that'll relax me a bit about doing it.

    Wrote a giant post on a thread in here. I decided the last line I wrote wasn't necessary so I backspace deleted it and went too far. Instinctively, I pressed Control Z to undo that. Apparently that's the hotkey on this site for deleting everything.

    I didn't want to write it again.

    Don't blame the site. Blame your browser, or the person using it. :)

    I wish I could talk/type right today. Obviously I can't do either one today. :p Haha, I blame it on oversleeping. Considering I fell asleep pretty early last night, and woke up at ten am. :p

    Remind me why I even interact with people.

    I always think I've learned my lesson every time, but I always go back to being soft and thinking that people are generally good. Do I just pick the worst losers in the world to associate with, or does it always seem to happen that anytime you let your guard down, your trust will undoubtedly be violated?

    I really don't feel like I can trust a single person anymore.

    You probably deserved it. Kidding, kidding.
    I have trouble talking to people, period. Other than being polite to people at the grocery store, I just generally suck in a group. I'm pretty awkward unless we've talked a LOT. So, at least you can get to the point where people CAN break your trust?:redface:

    So there's a bright side.

    You have no idea how many times I feel like that, Merc. And it sucks, and people suck in general. The key is finding and trusting the select few that won't hurt you. Easier said than done....

    I'm not blaming it on the site, I'm blaming it on my lack of knowledge of what certain hot keys did. Just a little annoying accident on my part, so don't get snappy with me.

    Just an off-topic little rant...

    I'm really, REALLY sick of people who have absolutely no sense of principle or standing up for their liberty and rights or even paving their own way in life and making their own decisions. The people who just follow the crowd, blindly, and think that they need some authorities (whether a specific higher-up or just everyone as a whole) to protect them from their own selves and cater to their every little need as though they were small children. The people who act like oppression doesn't matter as long as they can go on with their own routines undisturbed like cows munching grass. The people who seem to think that thinking outside the box and taking some initiative needn't be bothered with. In fact, if they woke up in a zoo cage one day, they probably wouldn't even care as long as it came fully eqipped with good food and huge TV screens. Bleh. Bugs the hell out of me.

    Sorry haha...I've seen so many people like that, though, lately...drives me insane.

    Agreed, plain and simple.
