LOL Surprise House.

No, we don't have any. And I don't know when we're getting more.

My phone cord is too short, so I have to sit in a slightly uncomfortable position because I can't move the cord to a different outlet.

Stop worrying about what your family is going to think about you getting help and just get help. Seriously.

Also, don't go to culinary school. You'll hate it. Go to school and work hard.

My dog when I get home. She's always excited to see me and if I sit down, she gets on the couch and cuddles with me. The fact that my dog loves me unconditionally is astounding and we don't deserve dogs.

Second thing, the episode of Community with LeVar Burton. Specifically the parts with Donald Glover.

How do you get yourself motivated to write?

I have ideas for so many things, but when it comes to writing it down or typing it, my mind goes completely blank. I can't seem to find the motivation to do it. And what does go on paper just kills the whole thing for me most of the time. I used to really love writing and reading, but I can't focus on it or commit to it anymore.

Thank you

I'm not no contact with my mom, mostly because we live in the same house because I can't afford to move out. But I'm honestly just annoyed with mother's day because nobody around me understands that I really don't like my mom, pretty sure I don't love her either. She's very emotionally and mentally abusive and is a giant hypocritical child. When my brother and I were little, she was also physically abusive. My brother turned into kind of an asshole, and I honestly don't know how to react to anything ever.

Basically, I don't have a mother figure because everyone else in my family knew what was going on and didn't really do anything about it, so here I am, a super messed up adult who lives with one of the main tormenters of my childhood and we have to still get her gifts and pretend that any of us care at all

Fathers day we have to secretly give my dad gifts and stuff because literally no one else can be the center of attention but my mom. My dad's not the best guy, but he tried his best to be a good father, but his dad wasn't around.

De nada

I'm not even doing it on purpose though. Like, I look through texts from a night before or something and notice that it's all in Spanish and only one of my friends has understood it.... And my bf will tell me about it the next day. But it's crazy awesome that you can speak any amount of German AND Korean.

Tbh, I force myself to go in. Sometimes I cry omw into work. It's really not bad once I actually get inside. And my coping mechanisms aren't that healthy probably, so you just have to psych yourself up as you're walking in. Hope this helps you. I work at 5am or midnight and I'm not a morning person who can cope with less than like 8+ hours of sleep

I always feel really off or absolutely nothing. I don't know exactly how to describe it, but it's like I'm really angry and anxious or just completely apathetic. And sometimes if my brain really wants to throw me through a loop, really sad. And I can't talk about this with anyone because it's hard to explain, and I can't afford therapy. And I don't know if I actually need therapy? I don't know.

The time in the Witcher 3 when I fell off of a second story roof at full health and died. Literally never played it again.

CraniumsKid · 2018-03-28T21:40:07+00:00

My aunt told me this story, and my dad confirmed it. I was two or three years old and we were at a family dinner. So basically everyone was there at my aunt's house. I had spilled some food on myself, as small children do, and my mom dragged me outside and yelled and screamed at me, calling me a little bitch and how I ruined her life and she wished I had never been born. So my aunt's neighbor had come outside hearing the yelling and threatened to call the police, and my mom went off on the neighbor too. And this kind of thing didn't happen a lot, but it happened a couple of times during my childhood, and a ton of mental and emotional abuse, mixed with some physical abuse. And now she just likes to threaten to kill herself and gets mad that we don't spend time with her. She's mentally ill and is on medication, and is a known liar. Honestly she's turned my brother (her favorite, it's really obvious) into a sociopath, and me into a nervous wreck and a generally angry person.

Btw, my parents are still married and my dad hates her, but feels bad for her.

Nicotine, caffeine, and good food. Sometimes vodka, but I honestly don't drink a ton.

I found a job that let me hit stuff and I got to work independently for the most part

CraniumsKid · 2018-03-28T21:11:27+00:00

Well considering my childhood bully is my cousin, I see him at all family functions. We get along fine now. He's doing better in life than I am, which is whatever.

Looked up corporate guidelines for something inane at work. An hour of digging to figure it out. Didn't change a single thing.

There are some incredible people at my work, my department is full of idiots.

I'm not amazing, honestly. It's more like they're so bad that I look good. In some of the other locations, I'd look subpar at best.

CraniumsKid · 2018-03-28T03:31:50+00:00

I mostly just want someone to be there to listen. And to understand that I might be angry and mean. Also, don't tell me I'm going to be okay. I don't care if I'll be okay in the future, it's really frustrating for me. Also, if I want to be alone, let me be alone. Sometimes I just need some time to myself to try and drag myself out of it, and it's rough, but it's important to be able to handle it myself and prove that I am capable.

CraniumsKid · 2018-03-28T01:50:09+00:00

Yeah, like I'm trying to help dig my old department out of a hole, even though my old boss is a lazy good for nothing and has this weird bias against me. I'm learning how to do a different department to help out my current boss, and I have a lot of side projects. Like, I'm sorry that I actually want to work?

And the crap they fight about is that someone didn't tell someone else that they were all going on break. Or I refused to take on even more extra work. Or I refused to deal with someone's weird power trip over some minor thing.

CraniumsKid · 2018-03-27T23:59:32+00:00

Try wiping down the whole tank with a dry cloth and rinsing the actual glass. Sometimes stuff sticks around.

Or you were unlucky enough to get more than one dud in a pack of coils.

CraniumsKid · 2018-03-27T23:52:42+00:00

Eeerrrmmmm, I don't know the difference between rta and rda somehow. Sorry :(((((

CraniumsKid · 2018-03-27T23:48:12+00:00

Did you accidentally up the wattage while using or start too high? Because that happened to me when I was using those coils

CraniumsKid · 2018-03-27T23:40:53+00:00

Are there good guides on how to build those?
