I'm so lonely. Even though I just started a new job at my college, and I'm constantly either working or studying, it's not enough to take my mind off of the soul-crushing emptiness I feel. All of my friends have moved away or are now busy with families of their own. I feel like a fat ugly lump, just wasting space until my time is up. This is the first time in quite a while I've even whined about how I feel, because I know that it won't make a difference about anything. I can't even cry anymore, even though I want to, because I'm all dried up. I'm not suicidal, because I'm a coward when it comes to that, but I'll be honest when I say that I'm disappointed when I wake up in the mornings. I'm just tired of feeling like I'm the punchline to some divine joke.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Awww mannnn....
The crappy nowheresville high school football team whose games we broadcast (remember, the ones where we basically broadcast a play-by-play of them running laps and warming up?) actually made it to the playoffs, which means MORE BROADCASTS. Will this hell never end?!

They've already wrapped up a playoff spot with two weeks left? Either a bad district or decent team... oh wait, 4 teams from every freakin' district go to the playoffs. Basically this state eliminates less then half the schools by ending the regular season. Our local high school is in the toughest 5a district in the state, only 1 team (of the 4) is currently locked in. We had 5 slots on the AP poll at one point this season.
My local comic shop closed last night. 
I've known it was going to for a few weeks (I've gone in there almost every other night because I love those guys so much.) but it still makes me really sad. They are seriously the best, they're just the most awesome comic shop guys I've ever met! I'm a little broken-hearted by it all really.

It only just occurred today to me, how good a youtube series it would have been if I'd been frapsing my gaming with Pauline all those years. "Gaming couples" videos go like gangbusters. We used to play games like L4D and Borderlands (and of course Minecraft) all the time, and I should have been recording it.
And then remembering all the stuff we used to do got me all mopey again about losing her.

Here's a "gaming couple" vid we made.
I find myself wishing I'd made so very many more.
Even though you might be right and it might be torture to watch again.
At 0:26, I'm hereby dubbing this emote "Masturbating two giants"
...and now that's all I'll be able to think whenever I see that gesture.

Well crap. It looks like my system is not powerful enough to play the new 60fps Youtube video, and for videos in 60fps, that's all they offer for HD resolutions.

Have you ever been invited to someone's house and they ask if you'd like a beer and they break out this dusty old bottle when you say yes? Then they watch you drink it and when you finally say something, they're like, "oh we don't drink we're menonites or something"? Then you're awkwardly sitting there with this beer.
Sounds like vampires. They are enjoying you getting drunk... before you get drunk, as it were.
There's a comedy video around somewhere that has a vegetarian couple invite a meat eating couple over for dinner. The two men start talking and the meat eating guy asks what kind of meat dish they are making. The vegetarian guy says "You know we're vegetarians. We made a vegetarian dish." The meat eating guy then goes "Yeah, I know. And when we had you over, we made that great egg plant Parmesan, didn't we? But we did that because you were our guests and we were being considerate. Now we're your guests..."We won't do that to you. We'll only ply you with hot chocolate and rootbeer.
But that does sound awkward.
"We're vegetarians, but we keep jerky on hand for friends that can't go a few hours without meat."
At this point the vegetarian guy is forced to admit that it's kind of a shitty thing to make your friends eat vegetarian around you when you know they hate it and goes to butcher an animal for him.
The point is basically that some folks keep stuff like that around for guests because they know that the way they live can be pure torture for others, so why not have some around? It only seems weird because they watched you.
Not exactly as I remembered, but the point stands.
Damnit! Nah, clear plastic dixie cup - because it couldn't even afford to be a red solo cup.
Ordered two space heaters off the Internet from Newegg (H6002).
Delivered to my house...but they're not the model I ordered (rec'd H6003).
Called and explained, offered to keep the "wrong" ones if they just refund the difference.
Nope, they can't do that, have to ship them back, they're from an outside vendor who can't do that.
Ok so sent them back to Newegg, now I have to wait a week or so for my refund.
Ordered the right model again from Walmart for a few dollars less.
Picked them up a week later at Walmart...still the same wrong model again.
Walmart at least gives me my refund in cash.
Two weeks later and at least my wallet is right back where it started but it's <freezing @ night and I still have no heaters.
Brrrrrrrrrrrr...

The circuit I want to put them on can't handle 2x700W but can handle 2x500.
The house I live in now has very old wiring and very few grounded outlets, so my placement options are limited. I'll probably end up rearranging where we have everything plugged in, but it's going to be such a pain.
However, doing all that rearranging will likely warm me up.

There is that.
Summary of my feelings on my writing today: "That sucked, it's awful, and I hate it, but this project was supposed to be done a fucking month ago and I need the first draft to get done, so I'm just going to leave it and flog myself as punishment."
I can help you with that.

FINALLY get to Gamestop today. The roadwork that essentially blocked it off from my town is going full steam every weekday, and I've had to deal with a difficult family situation the past...lot of weekends. So anyway, I get there...
No copies of a Fantasy Life. Damn.
No Diancie event code cards. Double Damn.

That's why you gotta pre-order. Would you like to pre-order Call of Duty Black Ops Modern Warfare Advanced Tech Ghost Assassins?[/Gamestop clerk]
