    Need to lose my v-card bros.

    I did last November.

    It was alright I guess.

    I can't believe I used to bitch about it so much.

    Thankyou thread, you just inspired me to practise my piano for the day and I got through a section that has been bothering me for ages (I am very very beginner still but it felt good)

    My goals are to keep practising singing and piano every day (or alternating at the very least) and to actually finish making one of the Flash games I keep starting. Also to stop snacking so much or I'm going to get fat again.

    This goes for me too, when we move to Vancouver next year I need to be a bit more extroverted about getting to know people or I'm going to be really lonely.

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    I'm going to get better organized by using services like Evernote to get ideas and information and general 'stuff' down in a single place where I can access it easily. For starters I used my flatbed scanner to create a pdf of my new lease contract which was then automatically uploaded to Evernote's servers. I'm also using it to record important serial numbers and registration keys that would otherwise sit at the bottom of a drawer to be forgotten, by taking a photo with my phone and sending it directly to Evernote. It even has fancy optical character recognition so it can read hand-written notes.

    The key to not worrying is knowing that you are doing what you can to improve the situation. If you are doing everything you can, congratulations, anything that happens is beyond your skill to remedy and so you should not worry about it. It's beyond your control.

    If you are not doing all you can, then it will be a lot more productive for you to get off your butt and start doing more than worrying about it. Worrying accomplishes absolutely nothing.

    I say that every week

    By mid-afternoon I am ready to fall asleep at my desk

    then come the evening I'm hyper and can't sleep

    and then weekends I sleep like 12 hours Friday and Saturday night, I'm sure it's not good for me

    I've got a monster stack of paperwork I've been putting off doing at work. It really wasn't much at first but I'd put it off and more would be added so now it's a project that'll take at least a couple hours' worth of data entry on top of my regular duties. I figure I'll dedicate 10 minutes of my lunch break to entering in the info and see where I'm at by the end of next week.

    there's a distinct difference between cookies and biscuits (cookies are round and have chocolate chips or raisins)

    After owning my last kitchen, I'm in a new one.

    I want to own this one as well. It's just a hell of a lot more complex than my last kitchen, and I don't have as much time to master it.

    It's like going from Normal DiabloII to Hell level with no time to re-armor. Brutal.
