If the voices in your head tell you to do crazy shit, you tell them to fuck off!

I mean, I know they sometimes scream at you for hours and all, but eventually they will shut up if you don't listen.

Hylie, not every single thread is actually about  you.

Faack, doing it again.

in a broad sense, i just wanna help people be happier (at least that was the goal at the start) so at first i thought i'd be a counselor or therapist. That takes a masters and i'd probably end up fixing the same people with the same problems over and over again.

We crazy peeps are all unique little crazy snowflakes, methinks...

Crazy people do tend to think that, IME.

Well, they call us lunatics for a reason, eh? 
Obviously we're not *terrifically* different from one another, otherwise support groups would consist of people looking baffled at each other.
I was mostly kidding.
However, everyone a therapist treats is going to present a unique challenge to said therapist, right? 
 To me? burnout from the stress would seem more likely than getting bored.
...But that depends on the person doing the shrinking,  I would guess.

You told me that it's not a good idea to go to college until you are really motivated to go, and I think that's probably good advice for CtB in regards to grad school.

...After 4 hours, I woke up with a pounding heart and pesky chest pains. 
I would like my body to stop freaking out and let me sleep a bit before work.  Not likely. *sigh*

Um, yeah.  Because that seems like a totally sound psychiatric assessment.  "Try harder".

...Was kidding. Explaining why I found it funny?  Even more unfunny. And annoyingly personal. 
Apologies.

I've met you, and you're no hipster.

What constitutes being a hipster, anyway?

What would anyone want to do with a psych BA?

I don't know that *want* is an operative word, but work in human resources seems a likely fate.

I sleep in a hammock, play the uke, own a washboard (which I have tried and failed to wash clothes with) and am generally the living emodiment of Teh Hipster.

So just remember, when you hate, you hate close to home.



But the room is coming along.

Nice room, I like the colors a lot.  Is the hammock hard on your back at all?

Simple and fascinating. May be usable in space/on other planets?

Would need to be able to get ice and carbon to make methane...

Thinking also that hydrogen would be somewhat safer to stick in a storage tank if said tank were sited in vacuum.
 It'd leak some, of course, just not explode due to leaking, as it would in atmosphere.

Don't recall thinking about how crucial finding exoplanetary ice might possibly become. 
Not just for drinking, it's also a ready fuel and oxy source.
...Cool that India found ice on the moon...

He's managed to create an internal fusion power system out of sheer rage and holiness.

The government does not want the people to have this free-energy secret.

I like this quite a bit, especially the anti-theft feature.

And they were still trying to do 75 on the highway and illegal lane changes to go around slower drivers and OOPS THERE'S THE MEDIAN.

...I got to see that a week ago...we had one rather unimpressive ice storm and a fuckton of wrecks.
Houstonians would rather potentially kill themselves and/or other Houstonians than actually drive to conditions.

This is why the South lost. They're more a danger to themselves than anyone else.
