      Awww Link, sorry I had to post that quick and then was talking to her for the last few hours. I appreciate you cartoon and everything and your advice. And you too Dianeva. Feels like you two were with me through it, with your edits and posts as I was talking to her lol

      It really means a lot

      Tbh, that was the weirdest conversation I have ever had. She just kept asking questions at first "You were going to kiss me in front of all those people?" "oh i was so tired if you did that I would have dropped to the floor" and kept asking heaps of questions lol

      She said she did have a crush on me, then says she still does, and then she was 100% honest and says she really does like me but she needs to have her next relationship as someone she wants to get married to (because her parents want her to get married in 2 years). The reason she was almost crying and was going on break without me was because she was jealous. She was jealous that she thought I like the other girl, and that basically I was moving on from her friendship, kind of thing. Not exactly sure how to phrase it.

      She apologised for leading me on and totally understood how I misinterpreted it, even though I didn't really, and she said that I didn't. But she was sorry that I was thinking about it so much and getting depressed etc.

      Even throughout the conversation, it's like she was hitting on me. So I really don't exactly get it, but I kinda do. Then at the end when we said we need to sleep she said that she wants to say something, and I said I know. And she was like how do you know!? You always know what's in my heart!

      And I said maybe we were together in a past life, she said we must have been.

      So yeah..... I kinda told her I don't really know how to put it in words, it's some sort of understanding, but I don't know how to say it. And she said "ummm ok lol" "I will tell you another day".

      So yeah.... as I said, we talked for hours, it's almost 5AM now. It was the weirdest thing ever, somehow mutual but still depressing and I don't know wtf just happened. We're still friends, she still wants to be friends. What. the. fuck....?

      hahahaha link, about the other girl, well, tbh she really doesn't seem that interesting. I'm not gonna do anything. I'm strangely content for now, although very depressed and confused of course.

      lol Dianeva! I'm sorry for that, I am sick of it too. But I will do what I said, most of the bottle is already gone, it's just wine though, that's all I've got. I will keep smoking for a while, but not long.

      I honestly love you guys, I wouldn't have been this well off right now were it not for you. I feel like I have a support system here, and that means the world of difference. If you ever need anything, just ask.

      Edit:

      Never mind. And I see. At least things are settled now, but obviously your life isn't over, man. Hope you have a good time though.

      lol, and it turns around again.
      I have a very strong feeling you're going to end up together anyway. You both know you like each other but now it's like that 'forbidden love' thing which just makes it more appealing. You'll end up kissing her and it will be really hot and you'll have to keep it a secret which makes it sexier. Just a prediction, but I can't imagine anything else coming from that situation, unless one of you quits the job or something.

      Damn man, you deleted a massive, good post. Can't believe you'd go to all that effort and then just delete it lol (got it in e-mail).

      haha No, it probably won't happen. Besides, I don't think she's the type that would just kiss someone so easily.
      She is going to leave in like 6 months, when she gets the job at the other place, which she's just interning at now.

      I think it's a pretty mutual "you're nice and good looking and i have a crush on you but nothing will happen, maybe in a different time, a different place it could have, but not now". Basically.

      The weirdest fucking thing is I feel happy. lol

      Oh well, I guess we'll see what happens on monday.... maybe I can figure out another way to screw it up

      EDIT: Depressed again now. If I was sri lankan she would have gone out with me.... fuck humans and their shitty religions/cultures/bullshit ideas....

      I've been planning to paint today for about two weeks, had everything all set up, and now I realize I can't find my big brushes. I've looked everywhere for over an hour. Doing certain parts of the picture without them would be a huge pain in the ass. So now I have to go buy new ones instead of making happy little clouds. Grrrr.

      Earphones are just one of those things that becomes miserable to deal with when the wires get messed up and eventually snap off, or they're still intact and you have to perform miracles just to get one end to transmit sound, only to just give up in the end and buying another one. But I don't want to buy another one with a debit card, just pure cash. It's like going on a dungeon quest in a Legend of Zelda game to see if there's any spares that I wasn't aware of. Man, if I can't have my music playing while doing other things, I have to either use the default sound on my laptop, or just deal with no music at all. Music helps me relax a bit more when working out, almost like a meditative state I guess, and I can really push myself and get a good workout, but now I'll just have to visualize certain things to distract me a bit without the music.

      Rave: Although it's not much, I burned over at least 1,500 calories working out this week, and every time I workout, I feel more refreshed and energized, and wanting to do more. Even though it's been mostly stationary cycling and the usually weights stuff with as many parts of my body worked out as possible, I can go at things for a good amount of time, especially today when I cycled for 65 minutes in one go, and burned like 431 calories and then 100 more in a short session (even though that measurement is purely conceptual on a machine that can't take into account of gravity and other factors with real cycling). I look forward into doing real cycling, especially anything with hills and such.

      Rave: Upgraded Manga Studio 5 to Manga Studio 5 EX, and even though there's only a few changes in EX compared to the default one, the story mode is really the miracle I needed. I've been doing my best to be more imaginative and taking full advantage of the 1,000s of dreams I recalled in these short years and finding which ones to draw out. I already have some sketches for one already, and all I need is to get some time to DO it now. But with so many things to learn and do, it's more of a time management issue. I probably should get a schedule set up so I don't end up being that guy looking at all sorts of information and not being productive. And hopefully this company I've been lurking out on will eventually consider me in their desires to find artists who can emulate photo-realism drawings, because if I can get a spot with them, there's just so much damn potential.

      The fastest I've been able to draw something was maybe 4 hours, and that was setting up a restriction with myself with gridding rather than free-handing. It's just that because I didn't have the confidence I had with free-handing in the past that made me revert to grid drawing because I wanted to practice seeing what's actually there rather than trying to emulate what I want to think is there. And the idea of drawing without lineart in advance sounds very taxing, but I already know what I need to do: practice, practice. Man, so many tools at my disposal with drawing now, and the same for other things like meditation and self-hypnosis that it feels like I'm being overloaded with useful and productive things. And looking at those other artists on deviant art that really make some top-notch stuff, I'm more calmed down and seeing how they would go about making the art instead of being one of the common people that go "omfsdajgksfjfksdjfksajfk you are soooo amazing."

      Rant: It really pisses me off when people don't understand it's more of learning how to make things simple and faster in art when you know what the tools/brushes/tones/layers/etc. will get you to. But it's always this raging fucktards that want to see your ability to push pixels without a grid or anything. Do these people ever for once consider that if you just practice with tools long enough, you'll be able to eventually shift into free-handing because obviously, your brain is going to be more proficient and calculated the varying shades, hues, etc. when you practiced long enough. But it's always, "No I want to see you push pixels or shift grains on your paper free handed before I consider you an "original artist."

      Man, people are still stuck in the old ages with drawing lately, always trying to find petty little shit to magnify and think that because you can't do this, you're a "cheat" "copycat" etc. Even though it's not directed at me, seeing it happen with way better artists can be mentally exhausting, especially those who make money out of it and all people can do is become jealous in their ability to do so, and fast too!

      Got my first kitchen design appointment with a customer tomorrow. I hope I don't screw it up >.<

      And if I do? So what! It's a learning experience. I have spent way too much time worrying over mistakes. I just have to accept them and move on knowing I will be more prepared next time.

      Having mental breakdowns at the worst times and having nobody to talk to as usual and kids screaming at you because they need things constantly and the guilt and the hate and the screaming and everything......fuck.

      I don't think I'm going to make it to 25... and yeah, I did this to myself. I did it. That makes me one out of millions of other fucking idiots out there. I get that. I give up. I guess that's what I am and always will be, at least until I'm 25, then I'll probably have had an aneurysm or a heart attack or something...

      Spoiler for Rave - university:


      Spoiler for More rave:


      And this was all before I realized today that I've been accepted into the university. That's why this feels so weird, because I was feeling relatively good even before that. So now that I've been accepted.... it's like, fuck. Like I want to feel good of course, but this is too much of a change in too short a time. I can barely handle it mentally. I feel like I've won the lottery or something. But like that guy in Lost who won the lottery, like bad stuff is going to start happening.

      Now for the rant part. I'm just not used to anything good happening and I feel really weird. Like this is literally too good to be true and something really, really bad is going to happen. I told my dad this while he was driving me somewhere, and I felt like we were going to get into a car crash or something. Sure enough, he got into a fender bender. The cars were both going high-speed and almost parallel. If they'd hit at a little more of an angle, I'm sure it would have been a lot worse. But this was the closest thing to a 'car accident' I've ever experienced. I know that it was a coincidence that this happened today, unless he was doing it subconsciously (although it was the other guy's fault) but it was a really eerie coincidence. This human tendency to treat the universe like it's alive and needs to balance out the good and bad in my life, is really affecting me right now, even though I know it isn't true. I feel like the universe is playing tricks on me or something, having fun with me, making good shit happen just so that it can destroy my life. It's just such a strange coincidence, that on the one day I go out feeling strongly that we're going to get into an accident, a bad one almost happens. Anyway, I know that even if nothing bad happens, eventually my mind will have taken all the happy chemicals it can, sense an imbalance and force me to be upset about something. The happiness itself is already making me feel uncomfortable, like I want to be a bit miserable.

      And another coincidence, of course, is the fact that I got accepted into the university just a few days after I'd started to feel good about myself. It's not like one could have caused the other, but I almost feel like they did, and again like the universe is conscious and is planning my life. Like that 'The Secret' thing is true, that feeling good about stuff brings good things to you. But I know that's bs... or I'm pretty sure it is. It's not like this one instance will make me believe it, but it's still eerie.

      That was one of those rants I probably should have deleted before posting. :/

      Ugh. I went and got a bunch of job applications today and as I'm sitting here filling them out I realized nobody decent will hire me because of my job history. It sucks that if you have a few jobs that you went back and forth at they completely disregard your reasons. I understand that it looks bad and that they don't have time to dwell on the reasons for leaving and everything, but it just screws me over.

      If I could just land a decent paying job, even if it's minimum wage, whatever I guess, but one where I can prove to myself and others that I CAN maintain a job for longer than a year then maybe it won't look so bad anymore? I don't know. I don't think anyone would be willing to give me the chance, EXCEPT maybe one of my previous jobs, but then that would just be going BACK AGAIN. :////

      I want to move forward, but all of this job crap makes me want to just give up and stay home, but I'm tired of relying on other people. I'm tired of using a vision card when I am perfectly capable of working.

      I used to be such a good worker, such a self-starter. I was good at my jobs, even if it was only fast food, but I was a really good employee. Now I feel so controlled and like I have to depend on other people for mine and my children's needs. One income is not enough, I know this, but why isn't anyone pushing me to get a job??? Namely, the man of the house.

      I don't understand why he isn't enthused about me getting a job to help further us. It's like he doesn't believe I can hold a job. But I can and I did fine without him for a while. Hell, he worked with me and he knew I was a good worker but we have a couple of kids and suddenly it's me who needs to stay home. Like I can't make money? I don't know...

      I think he just hates that I will be getting out of the house and socializing in a work environment...

      I'm tempted to go back to my past employer... I believe he would take me back in a heartbeat. I'd be working with people I know and a job I know and a job I like. It was a stressful job, but at least I always knew what to do and how to get things done. Ughhh...

      I need more supportive people in my life. Whenever I make a decision to better myself or my family, someone always tries to knock me down... tells me to stay put... I'm about to just start telling these people to screw off... I'm not a dependent...

      This Saturday marks one month of unemployment. I decided about a week or two ago to go back to school for Forensic Psychology. The issue is it'll be expensive, but when I am done that I can actually get a job in a variety of fields until I am ready to get my doctorate. My goal is to do Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on psychonautics. I spoke to a professor and he was fascinated with my ideas, so that's a plus. It just sucks I have to change my life basically. Ah well.

      Okay now it's my turn to make this rant MORE believable! This post ^ just makes me want to rant because i am SICK OF THIS JOB SEARCHING SHIT!!! It's been TWO fucking years searching and found crap that will call me back!
      I HAVE GREAT JOB HISTORY AND SHIT...no one calls....it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DAMNED TIMES YOU HAD WITH A PREVIOUS EMPLOYER and shit...sorry not mad at you just the industry and system! I been at a mandatory 6 month program that the social assistance referred me to help get a job...guess what...IT WAS BULL SHITA! ALL THAT PROGRAM DID WAS WAKE ME THE FUCK UP AND REALIZE THAT THIS JOB SYSTEM IS TOTALLY FUCKED NOW!!!
      All i seen was great management people with 10 plus years or more of work experience and IS TRYING TO FIND A JOB THRU SOCIAL ASSISTANCE HELP FROM GOV! I seen 10 and 20 years of industry experience people, heard their comments and personal stories!!!
      It wasn't a program to help you find a job it was bull crap! All we had to hear was from a job searching teacher to tell lies to us that we CAN find a job but all we have to do is search full time and at least search for 20 plus jobs a WEEK and apply to them!?
      LADY?!, i can't do that there is NO updates online about the certain job i want and 20 plus will never cut it...all i had was 7 per week and it was at the same companies.
      Then she said to us....it's not good to apply the same company when they already said no...WTFF!!!??? OK THEN WHAT??!!!
      She said go search in different means, like linkedin, EVEN THE FUCKING WHITE PAGES TO LOOK FOR BUSINESSES AND CALL THEM UP IF THEY HAVE JOBS AVAILABLE?? WTF THAT'S NOT EVEN HELPFUL BECAUSE JOB ADS TELL YOU IF THEY WANT JOBS OR NOT!!
      (Takes deep breath and exhales)!
      All i got to say is the job system is rigged from the gov, there is no jobs, businesses have to pretend they have jobs for people when they clearly don't need anymore people. Gov wants this to happen so people don't cause an uprising because there's NO jobs, the ads, signs and automatic applications are ALL a hoax!
      You can beat yourself up hard for a job, I AM DONE WITH THIS JOB BULL SHIT SYSTEM!!! 2 YEARS AND NO JOB? SORRY BUT I AM A GREAT JOB WORKER, AND THIS NEVER CAME TO PASS THAT I HAD TO SEARCH THIS LONG.
      My husband thinks i am not searching for a job HARD enough...okay buddy good luck in Detroit while you are there. I'm being a homemaker and probably going to start thinking of having my own job to work at home.
      Also had a very bad, and vile dream today was mad and shit and crying too and people just want to fight with me while i'm down!
      I'm a independent person as well, i don't like asking for money, i'm not a bum under social assistance, the gov just seemed like they are forcing me to. So fuck off with your welfare jokes.

      Rave:

      For the past few weeks I did some mental exercises with image streaming and associated it with things like dream recall and many other things. It's amazing how the science behind image streaming and other factors completely destroys my previous thinking that lucid dreaming or just recalling or being able to imagine things on the spot is so hard. But it's clearly not even though I've only went though maybe a few good hours practicing these exercises.

      It's crazy, just closing my eyes, stacking what I practiced before and seeing it clear in my mind's eye is crazy that makes conventional meditation with long, dragged out, and gradual stages of relaxation look outdated. I'm seriously glad I have something that works for me without worrying about people who tell you have to reach skills in visualization and such through third-eye chakra opening, 7 chakra activation, or some other metaphysical speculation that only caters to people who have no other ways to build competence in visual, auditory, and other sensory prowess.

      Hell, for the past few weeks, working out in the gym and doing other things is a freaking pleasure for me, and the best part is that this isn't the type of behavior where a person tries to deny or sugar-coat whatever faults or failures may come, this is something where a person just knows sitting down and doing nothing and only thinking without than making a means to produce the ideas you have in mind. This probably might be a short-lived state of optimism for me, but I guess it's just about finding ways to clear our the muddy and murky thoughts that comes with negative emotions we all go through from time to time. I just need to get these ideas I'm having in my head, all of these thoughts that can be made into stories and produce them before more new thoughts come in and makes me filled with enthusiasm just from how far I've worked to get to this state.

      Rave:

      This is kind of a messed up Rave, I think? But whatever. I noticed how I get really pissed off at some people I meet and work with in waking life, and it's so easy to just want to really shut these people down and go ballistic on them with wording, but there's really no point in doing that when you can just work on yourself and only for yourself until you get the opportunity the produce something that will sustain yourself. That way, the thoughts of anger, anguish, and negative emotions you had for another person because of how they treated you just becomes something petty, and it's unfortunate that most of my friends I talk to face-to-face sometimes never let themselves do something good for themselves if they just stopped pouring every ounce of their being into other people's lives. It's one thing to be considerate and empathetic for people, but if it gets to the point where you're focusing only on that and you can't produce some productivity, ideas, inspirations, etc. for yourself, it's just leading yourself into a ditch all over while you think you're a hero helping these people out.

      Rave:

      I love how if I'm actually doing a drawing rather than spending hours trying to think of what to do when I can just let my imagination do it for me is going to help me in the long run. Man, ideas coming left and right that my tablet can't even keep up with this. I guess that should be a good thing.


      Yeah, I'm fucking happy, even in minor episodes of de-motivation, depression, etc., I will still find some way to just get it out of the way and move on. Deal with it.

      Just poking my head in with a gross rant: bedbugs

      I think I must have been in denial for the past couple months, because just today when I caught one of these things and discovered it was full of blood did it occur to me that hey, maybe I have bedbugs. I'd been writing off the itchy spots as heat rash, and when I first saw the bugs I just confirmed that they weren't young roaches and left it at that. Even when I found blood spots on my sheets I just figured I had a cut or a scratched-open bug bite, but now that I'm looking there are quite a few spots.

      So now the war begins. The buggers are notoriously hard to get rid of, and the effective methods are a little wild. There are several straight-up poisons, but the bedbugs re-infesting the developed world are resistant to a lot of them. Also, by the time you know you have bedbugs, they've probably established harborages (like a nest, but more sinister) in every crack in the baseboards and crease in the furniture, and they can hole up there for a year without feeding. The nuclear option the pros will offer is to bake all of your furniture and/or your home at 140F+ for a while, which will run $1-3k and still runs a high risk of missing some critters. The best DIY option seems to be vacuuming the hell out of the furniture, spraying down as many harborages as you can find, and then covering everything in a fine dusting of diatomaceous earth (DE), the crumbled silicate exoskeletons of prehistoric microbes, or basically powdered glass. If you've knocked them back enough, the DE will make the environment hostile enough for the remainder to die off. It's jagged and porous, so it will hook into their exoskeletons and leach away the lipid layer on the surface, leading to dehydration.

      There's also a bug-killer fungus that has been found to take out bedbugs in the lab, including spreading back to the harborages, but the research is thin. The concentrated spores have been used outdoors as organic pesticide for decades and should be harmless to humans... Of course, some people have gone ahead and tried it, with mixed results. I'm thinking we need a little more information on how to apply the stuff indoors in a way that the spores stay viable long enough and come in contact with enough bugs to establish a critical mass of infected. Regardless, it's experimental and probably not the first thing to try.

      My last resort will be running naked to a new apartment where I will buy all new clothes and furniture.

      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      Urgh. Life's a pile of disappointment and frustration.

      I really miss my boyfriend. I miss being so close to him and feeling like I know him properly. Like I know him better than I know myself. Just miss everything really. Makes me sad everytime we talk. Just. Murgh.

      This depresses me greatly. I was just thinking the other day how well you must be doing without him and I was happy for you.
      I really don't know what to say.

      I don't regret coming back, if that makes you feel any better. I'm feeling rather numb at the moment, so I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm going to go into it right now.

      I am going to a therapist next week... if I don't chicken out, which is likely... I really need to talk to someone.

      Nowhere likely. My sister's place out in the woods is infested with lots of things (mostly related to the resident dachshund colony), but bedbugs are more of an urban vermin. I picked up a secondhand mattress and boxsprings back in October, which is one hell of a latency period but still seems like the best candidate. I got a new roommate around that same time, and she moved some stuff in. I have some DE and Bedlam bug spray en route from Amazon. I already had the mattress bagged, so I'm going to spray the hell out of the boxsprings, dust it with the DE, and bag it, too. I might also pick up a bedskirt and rub DE into it, so anything climbing up picks up some caltrops.

      Also, I don't know what to think about the fact that CanisLucidus likes that I have bedbugs. What did I ever do to you?
