huh.....i think i was making a post earlier, but it must have crashed. :\

@Simon: i tend to avoid talking to religious types as a rule anyway, though i'm rather political.

@Bells: tbh i feel like that a lot too, almost guilty for lamenting my own problems since there are people that are much worse. i have a warm bed, a laptop, 3 nice jobs, a loving boyfriend, and food in my stomach. on the other hand, though, we're poor as dirt, in a LOT of debt, have medical issues we're both going to have to pay out of pocket for, i'm trying to find a 4th job without jeopardizing the other 3, struggle with feeling like a burden for not working more, and college has never seemed further out of reach--all this with untreated mental issues on top of it and no car. so if you want to feel like crap and look for shoulders to cry on, i say no shame in that. everything is relative.

i've had like......6 cups of tea today? i want more, but we're out of milk. ;^;

Indeed. I mean, I have a bed, a job, a car, a capable laptop, and a decent desktop...but I'm 25 and still living with my parents (Which still bothers me greatly, especially when I've been trying to move out for the past 5 years but have always had something come up that puts me back at square one), I'm at the closest I've ever been to moving out but now I'm stuck waiting on matters beyond my control to align so I can (And also hope dad lets me take the car), I hate most of my coworkers for being goddamn morons*, I'm stuck paying on said car which prevents me from being able to put money into savings (And due to me trying to get money back into savings, I can't pay as much as I hoped to pay on the car), the desktop I built myself died just a few months short of the 5-year mark**, and due to all the endless bullshit I endure on a day-to-day basis, I feel like I'm becoming more bitter and cynical with each passing day.

(*The dish area, when I got in today, was a disaster, and them demanding I wash specific things they're out of didn't help at all, when things are so lazily thrown around that it was liable to collapse if I didn't carefully move things, which meant I couldn't put priority on any single thing...but they couldn't accept that. I can't stand their mindset of "lazily pile everything up in such a sloppy manner than the smallest gust of wind is going to result in everything falling and ignore it no matter how big the problem becomes until I come in, and then expect me to be able to wash certain things they demand right fucking now when there's no way for me to get to any of it without causing an avalanche...which will then be labeled as my fault")

(**Which, due to the other monetary obligations I have, I am unable to afford repairs on it. In my frustration, I have seriously considered just recycling the entire thing and pretending it never happened; it's honestly pathetic when a gaming desktop I put my heart and $2k into couldn't even last half as long as a shitty eMachines desktop)

EDIT: My space heater sounds like it's trying to short out. Yay; another thing I have to replace :\

[Chocofreak13]

if i shipped you an electric blanket for xmas, would you use it? :0

[Nichi]

My mom has said I should just invest in an electric blanket, but the thing I like about a space heater is that it heats up my entire room vs. just the bed, so when I get up in the morning (Like on a Sunday, where I work mornings), I don't go from comfy to the rest of my room feeling like a meat locker. It makes it a lot easier for me to get up, especially when my feet have such poor circulation as it is :\

[Chocofreak13]

mm, i figured that was your reasoning. sadly, that means i can't help here. even if i found one for free, the shipping would likely be a bitch, unless it was a mini one. :\

[Nichi]

The one I use is fairly small, actually; I'd say it's roughly the size of 2 cans of Coke taped together :3

Ceramic core heater. Walmart, $25. They're super-powerful in a compact size, and the ceramic core makes them safer because they don't have any red hot elements or anything to catch fire.

I've seen units of the type in service that were more than 20 years old and only need regular dusting, take some compressed air to one when it is cold and blow the dust out of the ceramic block.

[Nichi]

That's what this one is, yeah. IDK how old mine is, but dad thinks all it needs is to dust it out and replace the rear filter (Which looks like I could just take a filter for a Shop-Vac and trim it to fit). I might still invest in a replacement, though; given IDK the age of mine

Professors keep giving me things to borrow (semi-)unprovoked. I'm also getting old computer materials (books, manuals, etc) from the department...

[Nichi]
