CSOM: Bored but filled with anticipation of nothing in particular. Irritated that my computer only has one cd drive so can't play whilst popping some CD's onto the computer.
Mdp- I know what you mean snow gets boring quickly, we had snow for about a day but it froze and lasted most of December.

CSOM: Baffled. I believe I may have found the source of all my problems--it has finally dawned on me that I find most human voices to be aurally displeasing. This plus private school explains everything and my mind is blown :S

alone alone alone Just got off the phone with my mother. Cold, shaky. Pretty sure you guys hate me. Listening to Daughter over and over. Can't handle happy upbeat music. Looking at the 56 words I have for 10.08 and knowing that here lies my salvation, that the goat boy will save me, that perhaps I can scream through him and someone will hear. There was a horse in the tree.
Little drops of rust colored blood dripped from the horse's neck. Spray painted on concrete. Not real.
Nothing was real. Not this, not that, not the other thing. The warmth of her and the sound of her breath. The crackle of the match as it burned merrily to itself.

We do not hate you Stacey. Really, I love you! When you commented on my blog it made me feel all giddy and excited completly over the moon.
The extract of 10.8 is great.
COSM: Inspired, happy, relaxed. Astrella Astrum who will be a Legacy founder (only started because I relised the Sim I needed to Heather Goldbeards' best friend made sense as part of a legacy)

Utterly amazed at how a few drama-seekers can continue to drag out something that happened last year. A word of advice to anyone who might not have been aware: If you eavesdrop on a private conversation, you might just learn something you did not want to know. This is why you should probably keep your nose in your own business.
Just wow.

CSOM: worried about my little buddy. He's always so stressed out...I'm also tired, grumpy, and went through 4 straight hours of boredom and awkwardnesssessses at a baby shower. Me + group of women (or groups in general, but especially women) = needs some distance. It was actually kinda funny when the mommy-to-be (again) was opening presents and all of the other women were like "aww" and making boo faces...me and the dad-to-be (again) were like meh.

That really did mean a lot and helped tremendously. And it made me feel all giddy that you'd download and marry in Seth, omg!

Well he is Seth, and he was the only male. I think some simselves will find themselves having gender reasignment surgery. As long as they don't mind.
CSOM: nervous, anxious, out o f my comfort zone, numb, emotionless. I actually submitted some applications for jobs in London, and I'm completly terrified. Don't worry though hundreds of people are applying for them so it won't come to anything. And yes you should atleast pretend to be worrying as f I move to London I'll ahve to save up to get a computer/laptop to play sims3 on. My laptop only does sims2 badly.

I feel really confused. I started writing this LJ post about how today was an incredible beautiful glowy day and how I figured out that I have created my own religion, but I got sidetracked by a comment my high school best friend made about my belief in supernatural beings. And over a decade later, I'm still just completely confused. Like my brain is still saying "OW!" She asked "Why don't you smoke or drink or do drugs if you don't believe in God?" I have still not figured out what choosing to consume certain substances that may have a negative effect on one's health has to do with belief in a supernatural being. Anyone have any idea what she meant by that? Or why she didn't include eating lots of red meat and not exercising? I mean - maybe she believed in a god that really wanted you to stay healthy, but why focus on those three health choices in particular? And why did she think I am not capable of wanting to be healthy unless I believe in this health nut god of hers? It's like - does she think humans are sort of like..robots, without any will or ability to make their own choices? And that human robots come programmed to smoke and drink and do drugs, and that there is no way to overcome that programming? Like personal taste and liking being in control of one's self and having seen first hand what smoking did to one's father and general knowledge about the effects of those substances on one's health does nothing in the face of the programmed imperative to drink and smoke and do drugs? Is her god maybe the programmer, and the only one who can turn off the self-destruction program? But...why program your own robots with enough autonomy and artificial intelligence to decide to believe in you or not, along with the ability to feel pain, but then also program them to destroy themselves unless they believe in you? And how could she not be scared out of her freaking mind at the idea of having been programmed by such a cruel narcissistic sadistic freak? Well - I guess maybe if this cybernetic genius God of the Gym had deactivated her self-destructive program, maybe he/she/it/they/some pronoun not in English took the opportunity to also deactivate some other programs. Like some of the free will and reason and logic circuits. Humans are really freaking weird sometimes. And I admit - I wanted to share that but it's totally wrong and distracting in a post about the Beautiful, the True, and the Experience, so I copied and pasted it here. And it is my current state of mind, so hey. P.S. I had my vision of the Good and the Beautiful and the True while blasting the song Heroin, by the Velvet Underground. Isn't it ironic, don't you think? And don't be scared by my language. I'm not psychotic. Think of it as Maslow's "peak experience".

Hmm... I think maybe people tend to associate people who don't drink or do drugs with religion, as if that's the only possible reason a person wouldn't? It's pretty ridiculous, really. I'm an agnostic deist, and I drink on occasion (and admittedly, sometimes alone), but I don't smoke or take any other drugs--and since I'm not religious, I don't see how that can have anything to do with it. Conversely, some of the most heavy users I know are Christian. Religion is a choice, and so are substances, and they don't have to go hand in hand, but there seems to be an association in the mind of most people.

People are weird. I guess the assumption is that because people of some religions abstain from drugs and drink as part of their religion, then the reverse is also true which is obviously a fallacy.
People have a tendency to over simplify things or over complicate things it seems.

I try to keep away from religious discussions because they invariably turn into shit-fests.
That being said - Stacy - the girl that asked you that question is cracked. She hasn't separated out the fundamental difference between religion and personality. That is, you don't have to be religious to be good, and you don't have to be non-religious to be bad. (You can also put in almost any other group of personality traits in there as well, and in any order).
CSOM: floating on happiness - I just ate a chocolate caramel biscuit. (That's a cookie for the US peeps). Taking joy in a simple thing.

CSOM: Crappy. Dealt with a day of cramps (thanks menses!) and it made me feel weak all day. Also, it didn't allow me to work out. Lame!

Skips over Stacey's post as it is confusing and my brain is numb already. Most Christian faiths are allowed alcohol, afterall the holy sacrement is red wine as the blood of Christ. Personally I consider myself a Catholic but I don't talk about it, and don't go to church or anything, but for me I have to believe in something, and that just seemed the best fit for the majority of my exisiting beliefs.
Also don't know if I want to play Sims or Wedding Dash, and if Sims which family; Moon, ISBI, Astrum (needed to finish Heather's story).

Today I'm wired because I was just yesterday diagnosed with ADHD and have started the meds, which includes sleeplessness as a side effect. (As if I didn't have ENOUGH to deal with anxiety-induced insomnia as it is!)

Oh, I didn't mean for that to turn into a religious discussion, so much. More sociological/psychological, maybe. Wasn't so much interested in the theology of it, really, but more in the origins of her idea and where it came from and what it has to do with social control and conformity and stereotypical thinking and conventional socially taught morality versus independently arrived at morality and stuff.
Anyway....I am happy and glowy and full of happy glowing joy!! OMG!!!

OMS Stacey's actually happy! yay! I'm feeling, I think relieved isthe right word, and relaxed. I've worked out a little bit of what I suppose could be a life atleast for the rest of the year: If I don't have a job by the end of March either here or London, I will move to London my the end of April and see if I have more luck whilst there for as long as saving will allow probably no more than 3 months before I have to dip into my proper savings, and not what is just in my current account. As I imagine all London employers will see that I live in Devon and be a bit more aprehensive.
