A big self confidence booster for me was the time several years ago when my friend started writing. I looked at his story, realized I could do better, and started writing as well. When he read the climax of that story he had a *omgwtfawesome* look on his face. It was good for the time...but...the thing that bothers me about it (and by extension other things people base their confidence on) is that said positive experience was derived from feeling better than someone else at something. Essentially a game of winners vs losers. On a long term basis I thinks it's better to base your confidence on knowing you improved according to your own standards.

LMAO!! *Splat* The image I;m getting of someone just jumping off that structure and missing the trees is hilarious. Crap I wish I hadn't had to work Saturday evening. :\

Nervous about work tomorrow. There will only be me and one other person scheduled for the evening instead of three, and if that person calls off, it will be just ME doing the work of three people. >.< I hate the health care system.

Him asking you to marry him outright sounds odd. I mean, just how much interaction have you had with him?

O.o Creepy.

Aw thank you. I would like to visit sometime.

I wish I could have made it out. :( Being reliable and almost never getting sick has it's downsides; my hospital job always schedules me for the evening shifts since I basically never call in. >.<

The way I see it, Africa south of the Sahara has been vulnerable due not only to the instability that followed after the colonial era, but also due to the fact that before the modern era there was never a large unifying power like Rome, and no systems of writing that were passed on. I don't think this was due to anything like 'race' mind you, but rather, the geography and climate and the types of cultures that developed there as a result. It made Africa 'easy pickings' as it were, thus leading to the current situation today.

When you start wondering about the nutritional content of cockroaches.

These 3-1130pm (oftentimes 12am) shifts are starting to piss me off. I feel like I almost never have enough time to visit people now.

Like I had a productive morning for once. This needs to become a habit.

Like I just smoked several joints. The mediation workshop I went to over the weekend was very intense. All I need to do is just focus my attention on my inner belly and it starts up again.

Stories like these don't surprise me much anymore. :(

Welcome!

Lately I haven't been cooking much out of sheer laziness, but I like making stir frys.

Like all the religious radio channels I flipped through on my drive to Terre Haute, Indiana were fucking annoying, but I somehow couldn't bring myself to turn them off, kind of like how it's hard not to look at a car wreck. >.<

Awesomeness.

I check in every day, but most of the threads generally don't grab me much. I'm usually on other sites for my main interests.

Like a plate of nachos dappled with taco sauce took awhile all my stress.

*anticipates many long hours of eating popcorn whilst watching both sides of the political spectrum point the finger of blame at each other and argue over who points said finger .001% more often*

*shrugs* Those who have been dreaming of trying out such a thing for years will finally get their chance. I'm interested to see what will happen, especially if most of those who move onto the island do so for ideological reasons.

Happy Birthday!!

As much as I like the internet and video games, I sometimes wish I had never been exposed to them between the ages of 10-25. They're as bad as nicotine IMO and habits formed during one's early years are hard to break...

Lethargic and annoyed.

It's stuff like this that makes me avoid some of the rides I see at the fair in my hometown.
