I destroyed so many books in my voracious need to read them.
Once you get your own apartment, you should try reading again. When was the list time a book seriously affected your ability to get stuff done?

It works best for me when I'm driving or working on something mundane. My day job is pretty mundane, so it's the perfect time to catch up on podcasts and get into new books.
No, it's cute! :3
My problem with audio books is that they are so expensive.
But you manage to focus on game design. D:I'm starting to wonder if I have a serious ADHD type problem. I've long suspected I have some form of issue, but the distractions are just impossible for me. It's like my mind wants to jump to something else at any moment, and when I jump to something else it again wants to jump to something else.
I feel like it's getting worse.
So that's a no to Goodreads? I get it Marrec, you don't want to be my friend on social media.
I did this with purses. My current purse (Batman themed of course) holds books pretty well.
Im not deadly. Just thirsty.

I've had that feeling. I'm kinda there now. Depression makes it hard to generate motivation. ADHD makes it hard to focus motivation.
If you tend to multitask a lot, try getting away from that and focus on a single task. And don't force yourself to work on the task for longer than you can handle. Give yourself a set amount of time that you think you can hold your attention on a single task and complete that task in intervals of that amount of time. Then progressively increase the intervals by small amounts.

Maybe.

Alright alright, what's Goodreads? I'll check it out if it's a social media thing.

I'm almost fully digital when it comes to books now.
Last physical books I bought were the ASoIaF books in 2012. And the next physical book I'll buy will be The Winds of Winter when it releases in 2025.

It's what all the cool kids are using: https://www.goodreads.com/
Really nice way to keep track of what you've read and what you're reading. But the best part is seeing what your friends are reading or adding to their to-read lists. Really good for finding new books.

You monster.
11th grade. But like I said it was really bad. I'd forget to eat or sleep.
I'm fairly dependent on having earbuds on when I'm out of the house. I usually have music, podcasts, or audio books running through them. Or like Lilith said, when I'm in the car. SoCal traffic leaves you with a lot of downtime stuck in your car.
I cringe when I look at my old PS2 discs. I had 0 respect for my discs back in the day. The cartridges are fine, though. You can't scratch a cartridge.
I noticed today that I do this weird thing with music while in the car. So I'll slightly zone out and drift back and forth between the song and my thoughts and then when I eventually get on a train of thought that I don't care for I'll absentmindedly press the next button to change song or station. Annoys me sometimes cause I wanted to listen to the song but i just happens anyway
Also my friends used to complain that I would only play 30 seconds of a song before skipping to the next one
At least tell me you didn't let your controller and console cords get all tangled
I'm picky about what music I'll play at what time. I'm not fond of listening to Santeria by Sublime when it's night outside, and I don't like Listening to Africa by Toto or the main theme of Night Trap while the sun's still up.
I also suck at jogging for extended periods of time without music. If I try to jog without music I won't get very far. I don't see myself faring well at the running portion of that PT test since I wouldn't have access to my earbuds.
I would untangle them every so often. Right now all of my cords that aren't in use are folded up and stored neatly into their own shelves on the stand underneath my television, and I fed the power and HDMI cables through the back so they didn't have to wrap around each other. It helps that all of my current gen controllers are wireless.

I could see a lot of things changing about my lifestyle once I move out. I probably won't feel so trapped anymore and have room for relaxing and self expression. Maybe I won't need escapism as much and won't need to keep my brain occupied with the Internet.
Maybe someday I'll find out *sigh*

Pomegranate is great.
I was reading that "Ronald McDonald shot in front of Sonic" thread, and the other guy involved had the last name Drummond. Drummond is also the last name of Ryan Drummond, who used to voice Sonic, and also had a small role in Bring it On.
I guess we're playing 6 degrees of Bring it On now.

I've learned when drowning in the pussy to swim to the butt.
There were 5 male cats and one poor female cat. A bucket of water solved that problem and they moved to other house
