I'm bored. Today I'm feeling pretty "blah" but as far as my overall happiness goes, I'm probably about a 7.5 right now.

Reasons:
Seeing a cool girl right now
School's going okay
In the best shape I've been in in years
Family's doing fine
Friends are okay

Not too bad. How YOU doin'?

7.3 Would be better if my cat started gaining some weight instead of me worrying about him getting thinner and thinner. :(

No job, no girl (and there hasn't been one for a long time), majority of friends have gone back to uni...but I'm moving soon and hope to change these things, so it's no lower.

I'm still high from the Pixies concert and last night I was at a reading for Palahniuk's future book. Who needs a girl with that going?

stock has been rising since thursday's brutal ownage dished out by kerry. watching the republicants conjure up excuses as to why bush was "off his game" is music to my ears.

I'm a bit pissed off and bummed, I went to pick up MK Deception, no luck, tomorrow, then I go buy the Friday the 13th DVD set and not only was it $68.99, but 8 movies are crammed into 4 DVDs, with no commentary and a shitty almost VCR like transfer, so I passed.

Then to top it all off, I have the damnest of nasal allergies, where for no reason whatsoever my eyes and nose start itching from the inside and I start sneezing for minutes. I took some Claritin but my nose is red and still bothers me and people probably think I'm a coke head.

No real problems in life, per se. School is OK. Still have an awesome girlfriend and a supportive family.

But this damned anxiety seems to get the better of me just about every day and its actually been preventing me from going to class or hanging out with people the past few days. Its really not helping me at all. :(

right now, it's probably around 9.

great weather, fat paycheck guaranteed on this friday, I got mucho compliment for the work I did yesterday, love my new 60 inch TV and plenty of games to play, models to make, and most of all, I love my wife and I am happy in general.

only minus would be, I'm little bit short on cash for next couple of days, and I still need to figure out how to set-up my spray booth so that I can start paint my models.. headache, headache..

Got money to spend on luxuries
Romance is looking up
College is back in full swing, not treating me too badly yet..

-
No guarantees on the romance front, even if things are looking up
no idea what I'm going to do for final year college project..this does weigh on me, for some reason
worrying about post-college future
 
I'd say about 8.5 (it peaks to 11 when I'm with a certain someone)... Reasons:

- Love/sex life is unfuckin believable.

- I don't have a job to worry about, and money isn't really a problem, yet.

- Just got a cool job offer this morning! [Haha, I know it kind of contradicts with the previous point, but I think jobs are a double-edged sword, you're fucked if you have one, and you're fucked if you don't]

- I have more new video games than I have time to play.

- More great games coming out soon, this holiday season is going to be insane.

- Did I mention the incredible sex?

+ Baseball is going good. The guys on the team are cool.
+ Just looked the thread with the hilarious Bill Cosby pics.
+ Getting back into shape.
+ Insane internet connection allowing me to d/l whole 1st season of 24 right now.
+ Did good on Physics test.

- Shouldn't have came to this college
- Frat situation is pissing me off...I need to de-pledge.
- Miss my friends and the whole atmosphere of home w/ friends.
- Work is hard as fuck.
- Always tired and most of the time feel like doing nothing.

I don't mean to alarm you but you have dogs on your face
Somewhere between 3-4. Last night it was about a 2, it was at its worst when I was walking back to my apartment for some reason, just feeling empty and lonely, reflecting on my five years of college and realizing there's nothing to reflect on, wishing I had something to motivate me.....I get like that sometimes. One reason is I just don't have anything positive to list like some of the others here. I could list some negatives, though.

-no friends around here except one whom I see like once a week

-no girlfriend, again

-no job

-college (teh best yearz of my life!! :rolleyes) is over and I feel like I'm coming out of it empty-handed in every way, and with a shitty GPA to boot

-feel obligated to start some bullshit menial job when I have no career ambitions or even ideas at all when I want to experience things and the world like most people my age have done in some form or another. Plus, I want to do something cool for winter break like travel, but I don't know who I'd do that with a job I practically just started, unless I just quit. I've never done ANYTHING but go home for all my breaks, partially because I've felt obligated to be an emotional babysitter for my screwed up younger sister because of my crap-ass parents. I'm still looking for a job, tho.

-in the past years I've kicked some internal problems that basically ruined college for me, but it's too late to take advantage of my new attitude in college since...I'm pretty much no longer in college

-i decided to 'settle down' with a decent apartment and a car after college, but I'm starting to wonder if that was a bad decision as I kind of want to just get away and travel or something...I don't even fuckin know. I just don't want to jump into some shit menial working world after pretty much not even experiencing teenagehood/college-life/'exploring' at all.

-I've developed a habit, like I did four years ago or so with DVDs, of spending too much money to take my mind of my depression or something

+the only plus that I can think of is that one week ago today I had my first fun/social birthday literally since junior high or so (turned 23). Considering how depressing and especially lonely all my birthdays were throughout college, it's kind of surreal thinking of last tuesday night and having a crazy drunken time around town with my girl_space_friend.

2 at max, and yet i never get depressed anymore I just get really really indifferent to everything
Come over to my place, I got shitloads of booze and we can get drunk and wallow in our self-pity together. How bout it.

(and for shit's sake, nobody say anything about my "drinking" and my depression....I really only drink, let alone get drunk when I'm with someone/people and having the only good time of my week)



.....okay, making this post definitely brought me down to a 2.

It depresses and saddens me that there are girls and guys out there who are depressed and sad that they have no one, when they could have each other.

About 6-7 out of 10.


I did well on my genetics and psychology exams today, but I have a sickeningly difficult organic chem exam coming up next thursday, and it's gotten to the point that I actually have bad dreams about it (well, I had one at least :p). I was also scheduled to have my second physics lecture exam that same day (joy!), which was fortunately postponed until Monday Oct. 18, or else I would have committed seppuku.


So now I have 8 days of studying organic chemisty for 8-12 hours/day to look forward to, as well as trying to squeeze in the last chapter that's going to be covered on my physics exam (since it can't be studied for just from thursday the 14th until monday the 18th-- that would be courting disaster :D). Woe is me; the rest of the semester from here on out is a whirlwind of exams. Freaking science courses and their multiple exams (lecture exams, lab/practical exams, and recitation exams-- ugh). You never recover. I already can't wait for Christmas. :(


Thankfully, I hear that the subsequent organic chem exams are much easier than the first (the class has, say, a 40 average instead of a 32), so if I can just pull out a 75+ on the first exam, I'll be in the clear. Unfortunately, it's next to impossible to pull a 75+ on this guy's exams. I am Jack's impending doom. :D


And no, I don't expect anybody to read all that. :p


Oh yeah, my sister moved out with her BF of 7 years, which sucks, since we're really close. It's so odd without her around. See, now I have nobody to talk to, which is why you're all treated to posts such as this. I'll make all of GAF pray for her swift return home! :D

Probably a 6 or 7. I've always got tons of things to do and think about:

+ I like where I live
+ Lots of good shows to see
+ I've been writing a lot
+ I've been getting more and more into reading.
+ I think I know what direction I'd like to take in life

- Not enough cash
- Fits of existential ennui (ENNUI IS THE ANGST OF THE 20s!)
- Not enough time/I'm getting older
- Discouraged at the likelihood of ever achieving personal success as defined by my desires
- Still haven't gotten together with any of the area Gaffers
- Writing is frustrating sometimes, but I love it
- A rather confusing personal issue

I also think I'm starting to get paranoid again. Over the past month, there's been 3 occasions where I was getting particular shaky without good reason. I really don't need to go through that stuff again.

In short, I'm happier and better off than I've been in years. There's no pressing or urgent issues that need to be resolved as soon as possible. I'm just starting to feel a bit of time's pressure on my shoulders. I've got to make decisions about my future, and while the possibilities excite me, they also frighten me.

+ Doing great in school in my senior year, all "A's". Skipped Friday last week cause I had this huge creative writing project, 15 poems among other requirements, which I forgot to do and turned it in Monday. Got it returned for 110/110 pts. Notes said "excellent effort" and "great illustrations". Not to mention, I didnt work all weekend on it, did it from about 2-4am Sunday night. Then in art class we're just starting into drawing, and my teacher who usally gives crits no matter what, and talks to every person, only came to me once and said "I can't find anything to criticize with your work at all, this is fantastic work" and told me he couldn't wait to see what I'd do in life drawings. So school's good and easy right now. Not to mention Wednesday is an early dismissal and no school Friday.

+ No responsibility hardly at all though I need a job

+ Havent talked to my ex in weeks and she's hardly on my mind at all these days

+ Baseball playoffs and football going on

+ Eating good food right now

+ Closest to being completely ripped than I've ever been. New max set for myself in weight lifting class

+ Only a few weeks until GTA: San Andreas

- Cubs not in baseball playoffs

- no gf though currently I dont have that feeling I need one which is good

+College is going well.
+Halo 2 on the horizon, as well as GTA San Andreas.
+2 years moving out, to Bath, for some better career prospects.

-Have to wait till March for MGS 3, FUCK! (PAL)
-Some girl at college, pressuring me to come with her to some theatres, GODDAMN.
-Very low on cash, parents fuckin' stubborn, saying I have to live on my own shit.
-Need a job, but very low on time, what we have juggling my time, between going college, doing homework, playing games, seeing the g/f as much as I can, doing shit load of exercise, it's hard.
-Running a little low on motivation lately so my work load is pure grade-A SHIT.
-Dad's depressed, for no apparent reason.
-Think I'm catching the flu.

5/10 although maybe a 4.

I'm bummed and mopey but not "OMG life sucks!".

+Doom 3 is fun
+A gay friend of mine said that a friend of his thought I was "hot". (wao)
+I caught some blond girl staring at my crotch in the hall before a Bio lab. When I caught her eye she quickly looked away. (wao #2)

-My grades are slipping. I need to get extra help for my Chem class. :(
-My dad gave me his cold for the third time in three years and I never get sick otherwise. He's just a meatbag of disease.
-My weekday life stinks. I go home and watch TV, browse the net, or play video games.
-I'm going to be 26 and I have done nothing with my life. The cure for cancer is still out there.
-Gay guys are the only ones that seem to think I'm "hot". This is disconcerting to me.
-Blond girl could have easily been thinking about how awesome her horse cock boyfriend is and that she used to date pencil dicks like me in the distant past.



That's strange. Looking at that list, I probably should be more depressed than I am. The high points are incredibly pathetic and trivial. I think I went down to 3/10 just listing that stuff and re-reading it. :(
