Please don't tell me that was the first time you'd seen that movie?!?!?
"Nurse! I need a pisspot, and a pan, and a brush….and a doctor….and some Haagen Daaz…..and a ho….bring me all dat shit!"
=D
One of the best movies ever in my humble opinion.


Speaking of movies, I watched Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind the other night. I loved it, cos I love Jim Carrey <3 But maaaannnn it was weird! Very cool though :)


Red, I lol'd :D
 
Well today aint turned out too bad, Just thought to drop thru and say that.
although my medical stuff is indicating that i have something wrong with me physicly. abit scarry but i got out of the house and it was good, chillin with a movie tonite with all this movie talk.. tossing up between "chronicle" if i can find it... watchin "shamless" the other night anyone else watch that???, its like aussie neighbours on crack UK style.. Awesome drama!!
 
@n3ophy7e - dude, I saw that movie yeeears ago. I was just always too
NSFW:
to remember how wicked it really is!

Rahhhhh. I wish I had like an extra $2000 on hand..
Heaps want to buy a nice engagement ring now but I'll have to save and budget like crazy
 
badfish: Pi is killer. Not a feel-good movie, and not even pleasant, really; but that's not the point of it at all. Watch it once. And then watch it again.

And then watch Waking Life, because it is also awesome. On so many frakking levels. Visually. Contextually. Philosophically. Musically. It's one of my faves.
 
^ I love Pi. And I definitely feel that it's better than Requiem for a dream. But at the same time they're very different from each other.

WOW! If it feels right do it! $2000 isn't that big of a debt..debt. I owe some odd $3000 to credit card companies atm if that helps put it into perspective. It's not a biggy if you have a job. Find a card that offers 12 months no interest. I've actually found ones that even offer 18 months. That means you won't incur extra interest tacked onto it for 18 months so you have that long to pay it off.<3

Badfish <3<3 hope you feel better dood :(!
 
badfish that sucks to hear dude :( I hope you're feeling better soon. Take some time out to do something you enjoy that makes you feel happy. And remember, tomorrow is a new day :) <3
 
I force myself to show every one of my drug using friends human traffic. I can understand wanting to avoid movies involving drugs that show the negative consequences to their use, so really if you're one of my drug using friends, I'll try to make you watch Human Traffic, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (yeah, its both negative and positive, but it's hilarious), A Scanner Darkly, and a couple of other movies I just can't think of the names. I always recommend more serious drug movies like drugstore cowboy, the basketball dairies, etc., but understand there not being the right time for such movies (like coming down off of some drugs. ie. opioids and amphetamines, when I was saw Ray for the first time, shit kinda freaked me out as I was young and this was one of the first times I tried oxycodone/opioids in general.)

Man I have had a interesting past month. A lot of good and a lot of bad, but most important is the fact that both are pushing me to get everything together in my life. I got into a physical fight with my dad for example (honestly kinda relieving in some ways, we both landed some solid punches, though he kinda sucker punched me of the bat. I'm pretty much a pacifist and will avoid violence at all costs, but it was a good release. Also I could take a punch like its nothing as I was on methadone.) Anyway, getting into it with my parents has got me dealing with situations a little bit differently to save myself the time and trouble of dealing with more bullshit. I've started doing more crap around the house, or helping a family member complete a task needing to be done. Basically I'm sucking up to them, and when they do their passive aggressive bullshit, I'll sit there and take it. No point wasting time arguing with them.

I took the PTCE last friday and I failed due to not being able to finish in the time allotted, and honestly I didn't study really for it (or well, some of the large amount of questions dealing with essentially 200 or so drugs that need to be memorized in multiple ways (generic name, trade name, classification [enough to be able to pick a alternate drug for so and so reasons/understand the basic pharmacodyamics and pharmaceutics associated with classes). It was kinda good cuz I've been studying pretty much almost everyday since then, and it will probably help me understand/remember a larger quantity of information in the long run beneficial to the job. Also, it reminds me of the fact that I need to make sure for the retake and for future uni classes, I work with whoever can apply extra services for my ADHD. I really needed to do this when I was at uni, especially as the classes got harder. I'd spend a good 16+ hours studying for a test during the week of, and make a 70 because I couldn't finish the test even though I knew the material [it was quantitative analysis - a analytical chem class taken after organic II. So its a lot of work to work a problem making 50 minutes a stupid amount of time for a test]. Only bad thing is it means more time before I can put the PTCB cert. on my resume (depending on the state laws set by the state board of pharmacy, a tech can't deal with drugs unless they have the proper cert. TX is one that requires you to pass the PTCE before you can reg officially with the TXBOP as a offical pharm tech. So, I need to pass it before I can get the job/make the money I want atm.)
 
@ n30 & stardust - I was considering that. Before I run up anymore debts I still need to finish paying back two people. I'd rather not mention how much, but right now a loan will definitely ruin me (mentally).
I'm just gonna budget the sh*t out of my pay and save like crazy for a few weeks.
Woop.
:)
 
today i finally asked an old professor if he would write a letter of recommendation for me and he said he would. it took me literally months to ask him. i figured he'd agree to it as he always greets me when i see him and i did well in both of the classes i had with him but i had all these "what if" scenarios going on in the back of my mind. anxiety can still be pretty crippling to me at times, but it felt really good to just suck it up and do what needed to be done. i got the results i was hoping for so now i'm hoping that'll encourage me to conquer my anxiety more often. :)
 
1 Corinthians 13

New International Version (NIV) [my favorite translation -- nw]

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

parts of the third paragraph are still a mystery to me. i love this passage though... one of the best bits of wisdom from the bible, and best wisdom period, that i've heard.

took me awhile to find this translation... imo its the clearest translation for modern day english speakers. a lot of other modern translations use the word "charity" instead of "love," and i think thats just dumb lol.

the one change i would make to this translation is, instead of saying "it keeps no record of past wrongs" i would simply say "love forgives."
 
Spork!! That is great news!! So happy for you :)

That is a great verse TNW. Love is everything. I've always thought reading the bible would be really amazing. I think religion sometimes takes it out of context. I think it would take years of reading over segments two or three times before I understood and could put my own meaning to them. I do think it would probably be the most rewarding experience I could do. The book obviously has messages in it that we have to understand and make sense of for own ourselves. That very obviously explains clearly a message about love. Thanks for sharing man :).
 
Lol I love those soundboards!
"im a cop you idiot!"


Rah what a f'kn crazy weekend.
My partner got majorly injured in the bush last night.
I was unable to drive my car, so our friend offered to drive us to the hospital (which was about 1.5 hours away).
I've been awake for so long now, my girlfriends neck, collarbone & wrist are in extreme pain even though there is no broken bones, it's horrible.. I've been doing absolutely everything I can to make her feel less uncomfortable, its so torturing to watch a loved one suffer in such a way :'(
So now I'm sitting on a train making my way out to see my brother who has kindly offered to drive me allll the way out to find my abandoned car & tent somewhere in the mountains.
It's going to be FREEZING COLD up there, I have no warm clothes and I just want to sslleeeepp :(
Waaa.

Oh dear god Trip that is horrible :-\. I hope you got to bed by now! What were you guys camping out? What is the bush? All I can think of is the thing they call the African bush where all the lions are.

Also it's so good to see you back. I've been wondering where you'e been for the past few days!! <3
 
about to go to sleep now. so tired, but this chocolate milk may very well help me zonk out easily :)
we were camping out for a couple of nights at a party. we're out in the bush with our friends every other weekend (you may have already gathered!).. i think this is the first time i have witnessed somebody get badly injured out there.
taking better care of each other next time for sure!
