Damn. That snow means business.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Exactly. The thing about turntable microwaves is, they expect the food to be rotated, and so the designers don't seem to work as hard to make sure the dispersion pattern is even.
Inexplicably, they seem to leap from Kati's grasp when she does her cleaning. Even she doesn't understand it.

Man, I'd hate to tell you when last I cleaned MY microwave.
STOP TRYING TO CLEAR SNOW WITH YOUR MICROWAVE!
You guys rock!

I'm not sure how to life properly.
I just turned 27, so I'm out of my "I'll be young forever!" stage and am thrust into the "I'm almost 30!" stage, I don't have a job and still leech off my parents, I have no desire that I can recognize to be in a relationship (and it feels like a disorder as opposed to a decision), and speaking of, my ex is now dating some other dude, which I knew was coming, but it is giving me some feels. It's a little weird because she still loves me and I still love her, I just feel like we're not really right for each other. You've all heard this before.
Anyhow, yeah. Not sure how to life. I don't think I'm doing it right.

<sigh> Part of me really wants to play WoW again, what with the new expac coming out on Thursday and all, but I was really depressed when I was playing WoW, and while I know it wasn't the WoW playing that made me depressed, the two are so closely associated in my mind, that I don't want to chance it. Plus there's that whole $15 a month thing, and I'd have to find my authenticator, and it's a whole big (manufactured) hassle.
We don't even make the first page of Google results for 'minotaur penis'

No, but we're the second result on the second page.
At least most of the first page hits were about the movie in question.
Landed in the ER two weeks ago for chest pains. No source found, so they sent me on my way for further testing, which has also found squat. Blaming stress, I decided to cut back a bit on my 3/4 pot of coffee a day habit.
Now, my chest hurts, I'm tired, and I need a cup of fracking coffee to get through this afternoon.
(Also, this may go in the minor rant thread, but I hate that a perfectly good sci-fi based obscenity is being associated with oil drilling. Leave my made up dirty words alone, gorram it.)

UGGGGGGGGGGGGH I accidentally clicked priority shipping before ordering! Either they get my email and refund me, or my books come early and I'm short 14.90 bucks I didn't want to spend. THE BOOKS ALL TOGETHER WERE JUST TWENTY BUCKS!

Gaaaah one of my coworkers is in this class with me. Everyone at work says "It's so much better to be in a class with a coworker." Yeah, well, not when you were the group member who did all the work. In that case you are every person's contact for every single question. This is a 40, 50-something woman who stops me on the sidewalk (or tries to) to tell me about her existential crises, how nice her new husband is, how successful her sons are... It's cool if she needs to talk, but I have to remind her constantly that, during the work day, I'm actually working. And now I'm getting texts from her every day about her insecurity with this project. She asked me what an annotated bibliography was. I brought up a sample document from our university website. "Oh, I never thought of that! Do you know when our research project is due?" "Did you check the syllabus?" "...OH!" 
I like her. I really do. But I ended up having to set some boundaries about when she could contact me. Should be easier to work now. I was never the student who wanted to meet with other students for confirmation that I was on the right track, so I have little patience for this. Why is she so sure I'm doing everything right?

Because you aren't her, you're reliable, and accessible. When was the last time she took a college course compared to the last time you took one? She may not have a lot of confidence in her abilities.
And if this was rhetorical, sorry.

Nah, I'm just glad some people here still want to talk to me. I know I've been using these whiny threads as my personal bitching rooms.
Friend plays with her phone all the dang time when we're hanging out. She's driving, she's texting at every red light. We go to a concert, she's texting through the whole thing. We're watching a movie at my apartment, she's texting and not even looking up at it. We went to Applebee's last night and her phone was out every 5 minutes.
I message her and she messages back that she's at a show and can she message me later.
I need friends who don't make me feel like I'm boring the fuck out of them.

Oh god
I know this too well.[DOUBLEPOST=1416121329,1416121278][/DOUBLEPOST]Not in particular the feeling that I'm boring people, I suppose. It doesn't get to me like that. But the constant texting in company/at events.

Aw, sorry, @David. This was an issue with the fella and me for a little while. I'd be so tired when I got home, that there was no real one-on-one time between us. I'd be checking emails, surfing the web for fun/to relax, and I'd try to do that while spending time with Jake. I couldn't focus on one thing, because I was so desperate to get all non-work things done before it was time for bed. So I didn't really enjoy any of it. It's just not nice to multi-task during quality time; it's a nasty habit I had to break.
People sometimes tell me to go ahead and get my phone if it happens to chime or ring while we're hanging out - although, this is exceptional because I usually remember to set it to silent mode. I know they're being polite, but I do occasionally muse that they're trying to placate their own guilt at texting socially by wrangling me into it.

I hung out with a girl sometimes, and we'd be chatting in the car or whatever and she'd just whip out her DS and play games. It didn't bother me really but it was kind of like "Oh, okay. We're done talking now, I guess. Cool."

Jake would quote Jimmy Pardo, which just made me want to laugh/smash my phone for being a jerk.
He'd say something and hear no reply. *3 second beat* "Acknowledge I'm talking to you!!"
