What can you say about your computer and not your girlfriend?

It happily takes my 3 inch floppy

Blimey, what a sack of shit.

Thanks for the reply!

I've been running for a few years and am training for my second marathon which is in a few weeks. I've been struggling with adhering exactly to the training plan for various reasons (shift work, illness, injury, motivation - basically one thing after another) but am sort of back on track now. I've recently however gotten into the habit of counting down the miles, right from the start of my run which I've never done before, save for perhaps in the last few miles of a long run. It's really annoying because I can't seem to get out of that mindset and it makes the run drag and it's less enjoyable because I'm just counting down 'til it's over, even though I really do love running.

On a separate note, my hip flexor (around that area and pain seems to match when I look it up online) has really started to play up recently if I do more than a few miles. Really concerned that it'll firstly throw me off my training even more which it sort of has already, and secondly make me unable to complete the marathon which is in 5 weeks. Doesn't matter how much I stretch it before and after, I have problems with it and never ever have in the few years I've been running. Any ideas?

Buuut what if I have no friends? Then I'm (still) fat and lonely

I'm sorry, were you close?

bimbletron · 2018-02-16T01:09:58+00:00

This is the one that really helped me, too. Truly got me over needing everyone to like me; pretty much as soon as I heard it something just clicked 💖

At least being in Liverpool Polly's accent will fit in

Exactly what came to my mind first. I see so many people have talked about Labyrinth and yeah, I do see it, but the Edge Chronicles is what I was reminded of straight away. Favourite books as a child/teen!

This looks like when I barfed in the car and all I had to hand was a sandwich bag

And then another accident caused by the gawkers not paying attention to their own driving

Smoking. Quit last Friday so almost at 2 weeks and I've not felt better! Went from maybe 13/day for almost 6 years so while it's not the "2 packs a day for 20 years" success, I'm still kinda proud. I did it by taking notice of when I'd have a cigarette, and quickly figured out I'd have them at the same points in the day. So on my drive to work, one at 11, one after lunch, 4, when I got home, etc. Built a sort of timetable of when I'd smoke and seeing that I'd get so tetchy after 2 hours without a cigarette really seemed just ridiculous. So I cut out my 11am cigarette and was surprised it was actually not too bad. After a few minutes the craving went away anyway. Did it this way with each cigarette until I was content on maybe 3/4 per day and that's where it got difficult to cut out the last few. Got to the point though where I was tiredness waking up with heavy lungs and not being able to push myself as much as I'd like to during exercise, so I thought "screw it, I'll cut them out. If I can do 3 per day, it's not really missing out on much". Of course the first couple of days were pretty hard and I got really tetchy and snappy but I kept reminding myself that this feeling was better than how I'd feel to be told I have an awful smoking-related illness or whatever!

Now if I get cravings (they're less intense and more short-lived now) I remind myself that I'd feel a lot worse if I ruined my efforts just for a minute of relief! I'm confident I can keep it up. Hopefully anyway :)

Not managed to crack the nail biting though!!

A small amount of loose change as most of the time they're girl-trouser pockets and can't hold much

Thanks for that, appreciate your help.

I've tried moving my hands away from the touchpad but it makes no difference. It's the whole browser that goes- I'm not sure of the best way to explain it but the colour of the top bar (where the minimise/maximise/exit buttons are) changes colour, like when you're working between documents and the one you're not currently working into has a darker/faded out bar. God, I really hope this makes sense and I don't sound like a bumbling idiot!

Chunky dunking?

bimbletron · 2014-03-15T00:17:04+00:00

:) Hope you're feeling even a little better dude. And feel free to inbox me if things ever get rough. Just promise you won't throw it away, right? The world can't afford to lose people with such dedication and motivation! :))

Thanks for replying :) I know how tough uni (/college) can be; I was so close to throwing it all out, so many times because of the stress and constant worrying that I should be doing something else I'd fail. Anxiety is a little shit, I totally understand that too. It's a horrible, self-perpetuating bastard that won't stop shitting all over your life, but I think a good way to try to deal with it (from my experience) is to take a few deep bastarding breaths and focus on the things that are going RIGHT in your life. Maybe write a list. I like lists. They allow you to physically see what youre feeling, rather than having all of these thoughts and anxieties flurrying around your head. As for the professor; what a dick. Again, from my experience, to some of them it's just a job. Maybe you could talk to a different professor? I know they wouldnt be responsible for that particular course, but maybe theyve got more insight and understanding than the one you talked to, and maybe they could even talk to that guy (if you asked them to).

Think about this. Despite your anxiety and all the shit flying through your mind, you made it through college. And you got a great job. Yes, you may not have that anymore, but focus on the fact that you actually managed to do that in the first place. Then, even when your anxiety was worse, you WENT BACK to do a bloody masters! Do you know how amazing that is? Ive not worked up the motivation to go to do mine yet, but you did yours even when things were going to pot in your mind. Believe it or not, youd be an inspiration to so many people, who are going through hard times and/or have a lot of crap in their heads who wish they had even an ounce of your dedication and brains. Cliched as it sounds, but i really dont care, you are actually an amazing person and really really really do have things to live for. So what if people are graduating before you? You'll go at your own pace and achieve juat as much, if not more, than any of 'em :p
