After four and half years I finally got new glasses. First they gave me transition lenses which I didn't ask for so they exchanged them. I picked up the new lenses on Saturday and the anti-reflective coating is already peeling off of them and it's real bad. Now I'm gonna have to go back and have them exchanged again but I dunno if they'll do it for free this time :( Apparently it's not uncommon for this to happen with AR lenses but it's a real bummer because I love the frames and just want new glasses, grr

I have had 3 or so pairs of glasses with anti-reflective stuff on, never had this happen :/

Like the style tho.

I managed to deny that before it happened o/

I'll find a roommate before it comes to that if I have to

Damn. Good on you.

My problem is my sister refuses to live with anyone else. She's just a really hard person to live with and hates everyone. But she doesn't make enough to live by herself in NYC. And her shitty boyfriend refuses to live in the same city as her so.

I mean, I love with roommates, but it's still a good feeling.

Bills, on the other hand...

I've had pretty good experiences with roommates overall. But my sister is such a volatile person and it's such a tiny space. Plus, it can be a bit awkward living with both your sister and your boyfriend. :P

I was supposed to go to one but it got cancelled. Guess someone took it already. I've got 3 tomorrow so I'm not too fussed.
My workmate got really excited that I'll be living near her. She said she's gonna come bug me all the time and I have no doubt she will lol.

Cool, you've just got the one cat yeah, should make finding a place relatively simple.
 
After experiencing heated toilet seats and bidets I can never go back to pooping American style.

Is it possible to feel great and like shit at the same time? Im having mixed feelings atm I think.

Yup. I'm in Japan, experiencing awesome things and still subsumed by incredible depression. I often live life dichotomously like this.

I feel like Im a great guy while also feeling like a worthless POS. Its probably being always in my house without a job so we see if it changes if I manage to find a job. Depression is a bitch

I know that exact feeling, man. I'll look at myself in the mirror at work and think I'm baller as fuck and people are missing out by not knowing me and at the same time be walking back to my desk like "Fuck me dude, I'm so worthless, what do I bring to anyone?" I was good for a while but this awkward situation with my friend has been fucking with my mind and it's dragging out old thoughts and depression. I really need to confront her or find someone else (like I ain't been trying). Work definitely is a help; when I was between jobs a number of years ago it kept me from getting better but after some random work, my current job helps my mental state tremendously.

I'd probably stop being insulted by this if people actually liked him or how he looked.

So how is Japan, depression notwithstanding?

Pretty goddam great. I'm seeing such awesome stuff and eating amazing food and sitting on warm toilet seats that give my butt the luxury it deserves. I, however, haven't really met or interacted with many people unfortunately because 1. the language barrier is pretty steep and 2. I'm trying not to be an awful foreigner and this country doesn't really have the same way of meeting people; for instance it's extremely unlikely I'd be able to say I like someone's hair or start a conversation about their cool phonestrap with an anime I know just randomly on the train or in Shinjuku. People seem to...keep to themselves and I don't want to bother or annoy.

Most people I'd wanna talk to don't seem to even care or look at my hair or style. Which is what it is, I didn't come here to swap line IDs or pick up women but it'd be nice to interact more.

That said, it's a great time regardless with my friends. I'm debating learning basic Japanese by next year so maybe I can go back and get around or talk more by myself.

I'm in Kyoto now, which is super chill and will be popping out to Nara for the day to see the Bamboo forests and such. Should be gorgeous.

Also, the boyfriend stone didn't bring me a boyfriend =/

Thanks! Last year I worked out a promise to myself to work out 5 days of the week, and I kept to it. Still holding true for this year so far as well.

I can only recommend getting into a workout routine to anyone. It does wonders for your self confidence. It does not mean getting a gym membership or anything, as most of any real exhausting exercise can be achieved with your own body weight and leveraging that. Even when all else goes to hell, you can still feel like you are controlling your body. You can visibly see and even feel the progress of something as simple as manual labour or opening up a beer. It is wonderful. Do it!

Total long shot, but you wouldn't have been hanging around Wildwood, NJ in the summer of '99, would you? Your face seems really familiar.

I feel bad now for making a joke about you and your friend the other day, apologies.

None of my business, but have you talked to a professional? Up until my mid-20s I just assumed being negative and down on myself/the world was a personality trait. Finally realised that wasn't the case after discovering dysthymia, something that can be pervasive from childhood, and realising that it's treatable. It was life-changing in terms of my perspective on stuff. Not trying to be an internet doctor, but maybe worth looking into it.

Embrace it man, when you're 40 you'll look 26 - in the long term, you've hit the jackpot, looks wise. The guys I went to school with who were shaving at age 12 look like old men by the time they hit their 30s, ha.

Gaining weight is one the quickest ways to make you look older than you actually are. it's crazy how many people who hit 30 and look old as fuck.
Click to expand...

Can't be said enough. When I put on weight, I easily look anywhere from 5-10 years older than my age. And a few years younger when in good shape.
