dude if you have nosebleed problems, get a cotton swab and swab the inside of your nose with neosporin. vaseline would also work, but it doesn't have the disinfectant stuff. basically that'll help your nose heal up and also keep moisture in there.

I know about nosebleeds because of living at high altitude, not from doing cocaine. In case anyone was suspicious.

its what i did as soon as i got back to my quarters. cotton swab, vaseline. every night now before bed, its part of my ritual. brush teeth, floss, moisturize nose. its rather odd really, but that's the price for living where there's no humidity. To try and off set it I have in my room a bottle of water with the top carved off, filled with water. What I really need to do is just on occasion run the water heater jug i bought, steam up the room slightly.

Leaving internet, bbl, ttys, lol

I just got back from a rock show with my Dad - the tickets were his father's day gift. The Zombies and the Yardbirds!

And because I don't go to rock shows often, I am now deaf.

hey even those of us who have been to quite a few shows and even play them every once in a while get a case of ringing ears every once in a while. its the price you pay for listening to music the way its supposed to be heard. or something like that.

I tried running a 10K with no sleep. Made it about halfway and quit. At least I tried.

[Ahaugen]

god I'm going to be so happy when the Summer is over and all the wedding countdowns disappear from my Facebook news feed.

"Oh, we met the first day of classes and never looked back! we were made for each other!"

Fuck you and your happiness!!




And stop sending me wedding invitations! We barely tolerated each other in high school, let alone talked after graduation! If you want me to buy you a goddamn food processor, just tell me!!

"Oh, we met the first day of classes and never looked back! we were made for each other!"

Shit sucks. All the "dating" statuses changing to "its complicated" makes my heart swell. You're in your freshman year you dumb kids.

I for one just returned from a camping trip. I'm sick. I'm tired. I'm covered in sharpie. I also have no urge to drink or smoke anymore, so, hey, at least I got a bit of good out of this.

Whoah. I did not know about this trick. I've had a trickle of blood in the back of my left nostril for about two years now, ever since living in Yellowstone. I believe I'll have to try this, and see if it works, once and for all.

I ordered pizza 2 hours ago
Still hasn't showed up
I didnt call cause I figured, you know, AS I call the guy shows up. Finally I was all ITS NOT COMING. Then I had to search around to find the right number to call (First one was their executive office, which couldn't help me, I needed the ordering department 9_9)
Finally I have the number, all the information I need, I sit down by the phone, grab the receiver
RING RING
"O HAI WE HAD A SERVER ERROR, YOUR PIZZA WILL BE THERE SOON"
I've never had a phone ring as I grabbed it before

I've never heard of a pizza place with an "executive office".

Pretty fancy.

Far as I'm concerned, their legal and marketing departments should be the ones that take effort to find, not the order taking one

Which, the "use petroleum jelly/oil based moisturizer" or the "i'm gonna reinvent the humidifier" trick?

[Pimpette]

I just wish my boss would stop hiring people from Project Work.
My two best fulltimers can barely keep their kids in daycare because I have a few useless employees sucking up all their hours.

And I'm not allowed to fire said useless employees because a) I don't have the authority and b) my boss feels bad for them.
Fuck you Project Work. Stop calling us.

omg what the fuck? I have a friend who thinks that Chris Brown beating up Rihanna and leaving her on the side of the road in the middle of the night is not a big deal? Why? Because he didn't beat her to an inch of her life...like what the fuck? OMG that's not the worst of it. I said that Chris Brown shouldn't get a pass for being an abuser just because he's famous and young and "Run It" is still my jam. That's just stupid and honestly makes me sick. My friend thinks that "it's not that serious."

What the fuck is wrong with women? It's like some women out there want assholes. Its ridiculous. Here are all these nice men who wouldn't beat you up, wouldn't talk down to you, won't cheat or lie, and make you feel special, and there are so many girls who just write them off because they're 5'7, don't have nice abs or arms, don't make over 50k a year and read comics or some shit. God forbid that men judge girls on looks alone. How shallow right?? but ALL of my friends are disgustingly shallow, writing off at least 3 guys just this weekend alone because he was under 5'9. THERE WAS NO OTHER REASON people.

If my dumbass boy obsessed, crazy facebook stalking, posessive, obsessive, attention seeking, dramatic bff says that she likes assholes one more fucking time, after I was there for her over a year while her not really boyfriend treated her like shit and she sobbed daily and broke religious rules and all that crap, i'm gonna go apeshit.

</end rant>

It has been my experience that girls who date bad boys grow into women who date bad men.

[Laemkral]

I hate those people, the ones who just write it off. As furious as physical abuse in a relationship makes me, its the disregard for its seriousness that pisses me off even more. As with all seriously traumatizing type stuff, wait until it happens to you or a loved one and then we'll see how much of a big deal it really is.

I believe that the women who go for assholes are women who define their happiness by other people. Are they being paid attention to, are they in a relationship, etc. They're happy to be denigrated and mistreated because its a familiar form of attention. They're used to being picked on and teased and otherwise treated negatively, and people who are nice to you generally have some alternate agenda. Look at alpha female social groups and tell me that there isn't all that constant backbiting, subterfuge, etc, and that it won't mess a person's perception of what are "acceptable forms of affection and caring". They aren't going to allow themselves to be happy unless they're in that kind of a relationship.

[Netpoet]

Sigh... my boss has a new project for me. Retyping and modifying the employee handbook.

it's around 50 pages, front and back, so 100 pages total.

I've read more exciting things on the sides of medicine bottles. AUGH. *shoots self*

[Tellurider]

I write off guys if they're under 5'9.

Because some things are difficult when there's too big a height difference. I'm not sure if it goes the other way, but it probably does. Either way about 6' to 6'2 is best. For me, I mean, as I'm 5'11.

I'm just saying.

[Dracomax]

damn you all for remining me of how single i am.

[Killbert-Robby]

I dont see a big deal in writing guys off because of height. A huge height difference makes things awkward. If I need a stepladder to kiss a girl, I understand if she says "Yeah, no thanks". Yes it's shallow. I'm shallow. Because everyone has shallow traits. When I'm going to hook up with a girl, I want her to be attractive. If I'm going to date a girl, yes it matters that we see eye to eye and that we care for each other, but again, I'm going to need her to be attractive. There's nothing wrong in choosing your partners by physical appearance, because we all do it, some are just willing to admit it.

As for the liking assholes thing, I've done some research in my time and come up with startling evidence that shows that yes, some women like assholes. Some women like people who aren't assholes. Just like some men like bitches, and some don't. I'm writing a paper about what I call the "everyone has different tastes" effect, which I should be publishing within the year.

The only reason you hear about girls dating assholes more than you hear about them dating nice guys is nice and simple - Girls who go out with assholes complain more. Same way that a plane crashing is always big news, but you don't hear about all the flights which go off without a hitch.

On a side note, I hate it when relatives pressure you into shit. The weekends are the only time I get to myself, ever, except last weekend I was camping in a crowded party camping ground, and THIS weekend I have to go visit my uncle in the middle of buttfuck nowhere. I'm going to make this a miserable little weekend, lets see if he ever pressures me into coming when I said I can't again.

My roomate walked out the door with his backpack and packed a bunch of crap into it, but left his laptop behind, so I don't know if this means he's out only for a bit, or gone for the night. I hope its the latter, if I don't get some alone-time, I'ma go postal.

[Laemkral]

damn you all for remining me of how single i am.

You assume I'm not. I'm just an excellent observer of all the people around me who date and get into relationships. I don't partake myself, particularly not until January when I'll be capable of interacting with non-co-workers once more. For now, the fate of my love life is in the hands of the Internet. And I'm okay with that.

Rule 1: Be happy with what you have and who you are, because when your needs are met you'll find you're more open to welcoming others into that life.

Rule 1a: Failing you finding happiness, it'll be easier to move through the five stages of loss when you come to the conclusion you'll be spending the rest of your life alone.
