Totally. Drugs do nothing (except that Ambien that I tried once because I was seriously going to be in danger on the road if I didn't get some sleep that night, but I don't want to regularly use something on that level). I've found that the only thing that helps me sleep is either serious sleep deprivation or going to bed next to a girl (because, well, I can't fidget and roll around and such, and the mandatory keeping still eventually knocks me out after forty or fifty minutes).

Hmm, I just woke up after first using it... When I was posting yesterday I got really sleepy after taking the melatonin, so I immediately went to sleep without shutting down the laptop even! And it did get me to sleep alright, however I felt horrible during the whole process. I woke up maybe 6 times in some weird state feeling really bad, and also had a bunch of vivid dreams. Now I am up at 8 am on the other hand, which is damn impressive for me because normally I'd just be sleeping in, so I guess it works. I'll be sticking with the stuff for a week and see if it gets me where I want to be! So yeah, you don't get a good night sleep from but it works

And if I'd go to sleep with my GF (who does have a normal bio clock) she'd just throw be out of bed because I can't lay still :lol

I just happened to be eating cauliflower just then.

It's interesting to me those who love to keep objects and those who don't. I don't think I'm so attached to things that I couldn't leave it all behind if I had to, nothing is precious enough for that. But it does make me smile when I see something that links to a special memory.

My sister is a 'keeper/hoarder'. Her reaction to all the moving was the cleave to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING so that she'd have some kind of sense of permanence. It used to annoy the hell out of me (because I'm not a sentimental person by nurture), but I understand it a bit better now.

Yeah I'm not sure I can deny this. My hard drives, music collection, personal recorded music and writings, stored images, etc., have stayed with me over basically 10 years of my life as I always kept everything when upgrading. The machine itself I don't find an extreme personal attachment to- but if my possessions were all destroyed I would mourn its loss the most.

Actually I moved quite a bit too. I don't think I've lived in a place longer than three years since... I was 10 or so. I guess that could be a reason behind attaching my memories to objects.
 
Whenever I move, I end up just dumping a lot of shit. I can't be bothered/moving stress. Norally I'm a bit of a horder though. Just under moving conditions I basically throw everything out except recent clothing purchases, the nice sheets/bedroom things and my computer/tech/hardware. I still have tshirts from the 7th grade that still fit me (better actually)

Onions are absolutely delicious, especially caramelized. I don't actually like that many vegetables but the ones I do love include tomatoes, onions, olives, and zucchini, even if two of those are actually fruits.
 
Hmm, most treasured object(s)?

DSC01870.jpg



Both belonged to my father who passed away almost a year ago.

The badge is his retirement badge from the Inglewood PD, 28 years on the force.

The gun is a Colt .45 Single Action Army that he won in a quick-draw tournament when he was in his 20's I think, in the late 50's or early 60's. He placed 2nd, by hitting a 2 inch target from 25ft, in less than quarter of a second. He hit the target on his second shot, while the winner (his friend) hit it on his first.

The gun was part of a pair, but its partner was stolen when my oldest brother had a house party many years ago...

Yes, that is a Jurassic Park comforter. :p
 
Onions are God tier. Nothing comes even close to them (accept ofcourse garlic).

We cook a lot of Indonesian food at home, and fried onions is simply a must in about 90% of the dishes. That and garlic which is ofcourse also God tier.


I've never used the word God tier in my life. Damn you GAF
 
I really don't know what my most treasured object is.
I guess my computer since I spent a lot of money on it and it's really useful and has provided countless hours of entertainment for me.

I don't have any things with a special meaning though. I've got a little chicken cuddly toy that I've had since a baby but I don't keep it with me any more. I think my Mum has it now. Other than that probably a katana I won from a card game tournament (legend of the five rings). It was hosted at my friends shop and all my friends took part and was loads of fun. Reminds me of all the good times we had in the shop just hanging out during lunch hours.

Haha. I LOVE all the simplification that comes from moving. Tossing out unused/not needed stuff makes me feel clean. The only thing I make an effort for is books.

I am convinced food is the most discussed topic in this thread.

Seriously. I wish I could but I ought to get to bed. Eating so late at night makes me feel guilty.

Now [I][B]those[/B][/I] are things worth keeping/fighting for. I guess I just have nothing with enough history attached to it to make it worthwhile. I'll have to start that with my generation, I suppose.

Tomatoes, my worst enemy (except, I'll admit, in a sandwich or as a sauce. A good BLT is food of the gods.)

Tomatoes:
Make bread pink and soggy
When cooked are bitter and squishy
Spurt everywhere if you cut them wrong
Because they have too much juice inside
Which, again, makes everything soggy :<

You forgot how they can get extremely hot and burn your lips.
 
My most treasured objects are all probably art related - my sketchbook since that's my ticket to a job, some original prints by the insanely awesome screenprinters called Malleus (http://www.malleusdelic.com/), some Ghibli stuff my friend got me while he was in Japan...

That's besides the essentials, like a car, computer, etc. etc....and family pictures.

You're my food brother.

I generally ask to remove tomatoes in food.
 
Is this badass enough to warrant an avatar change? -2 badass points for being that nerd at a Metal show wearing a Dharma t-shirt.

Why are you eating them on bread? Just pick that sucker up like an apple and bite into it. I swear tomatoes are delicious as hell.

I do like tomatoes on bruschetta as well, though. Just toast the bread first. My favorite bruschetta topping is made with tomatoes, onions, olives, garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. This is making me hungry. I'd make some right now but I'm missing a few ingredients :(

Sometimes I have just peanut butter, too bad I can't have much milk (sounds good though.)

If I'm in a restaurant I try to avoid anything that has tomatoes first.

Otherwise, generally people know not to give me tomatoes. My mother put tomatoes in curry once, I don't know what she was thinking. :<

My pickiness comes when something has cheese in it. I actually hate most cheeses, and those that I can take I only like in certain dishes/preparations. I don't know how many times I've been watching food network and salivating over some dish, and then gotten sad when they throw a handful of cheese right on top.

Olives and tomatoes, which is the third?

What is it with girls and cheese? They either love it or hate it! Guys are way more neutral. Although, I, for the record, love cheese.
