You posted it first on Facebook, and I shared it. So that makes us even Steven.

You know, I was one of the people that voted 'definitely'. The thing is, I never really put much thought into it, I just voted for the sake of voting.
Sigh... I need to buy a new laptop. The wireless in my netbook barely works and my Macbook Pro is 4 years old and really beat up, with a broken trackpad and an almost nonfunctional battery.
Plus the netbook seems worse and worse by the day. Maybe its because I dropped it years ago? I had to replace the shattered screen myself, but maybe other things broke?
I guess I'm skipping Wii U this year because I need the laptop more.

That's probably the result the business world wants, so thank you
aaaaaggggghhhhhhhhhh
I'm so stressed because of my shitty grades. My grades are bad because I don't study. That makes me stressed. When I'm stressed I can't study.
Plus I'm sort of dealing with something personal and super important and now is not the time to be worrying about it.
Its all my fault I'm in this mess. UUUUUGUGGHGHGHHHH.

In all seriousness, have you tried yoga or meditation? It might sound silly but they can be very effective for combating the sort of cyclic stress you're describing. I hope everything is okay on the personal front.

I'm really sorry to hear that, I wish there was something i can do for you.
Force Pan to do my geology exam for me
Maybe I should give meditation a shot.
The personal stuff is scary and confusing, but most personal stuff is.

You can't force the god of the wild to do your bidding silly.
The goal of meditation would be to free your mind of all extraneous thoughts, focusing only on your breathing or ideally the moment itself (i.e.: thinking about nothing), but it can be very difficult to escape the pull of stressful thoughts when getting started, and it's easy to follow tangents when you're trying to concentrate on nothing at all. Sometimes it's good to start with a stimulus you can focus on completely and then gradually try to fade that out, rather than starting with simple silence.
My (perhaps silly) recommendation would be Chell in the Rain. If you think it might help you concentrate- start by focusing on the words of the song, then on just the music, then finally just on the sound of the rain.
Hahaha yes. I love this website.
EDIT: What happened? The rain one is too quiet
I can just sync them with youtube doubler or something but this sucks

I must've listened to it for like 8 hours straight after I beat Portal 2.
edit: Weird? I can't really play with them at work to see what's up. http://sorrowind.net/vilify/# Does this one work any better?

Half-Life 3 started development.
Aww Raw. Telepathically sending hugs over to NJ.
I have four essays, five drawings, and one exam. All for tomorrow.

Writing essays isn't hard. You just keep writing and writing and delete the bad parts.
I might as well not write anything! At least I'm done with any classes that require lots of writing.

Pretty much what I do.
This is the exact opposite of what I do. A sentence isn't going to be put down unless it's perfect. It saves me from editing but then it takes me ages to do... ughhh

That's what causes the phenomenon we typically call writer's block. You spend too much mental energy making sure what is written down is perfect and lose the flow to the next sentence.
The creative parts of our brains get overtaxed really, really easily and, unfortunately, stuff like essays require that to work even when we're doing things that mostly depend on recalled information.
But whatever works!

There's NHS thereI take it one step further: I don't bother deleting the bad parts!
Ugh, I think I'm getting sick...
Go demand they fix you

Really? The doctors saw me for walk-ins in England. I pretty much only went there for colds and stuff.

I didn't have insurance and was only there on a student visa, it was just the way things worked.
