When I was unpacking and decorating my room I jokingly wrote "Welcome to STRESS" on one of my whiteboards.
I must be psychic...

I hate not knowing what's going on. Not knowing where to go. Not knowing if I'm going to get in trouble. Not knowing if that was a stupid thing to say and now I'm being ridiculed.
~~~~~~~~~
I've discovered that if I have something specific I'm supposed to write it's very hard for me. My brain can't put stuff together unless there's inspiration behind it.
It sucks.
~~~~~~~~~
I think I'll have some Ramen... It's comfortably cool outside.
Plus it's a good way to procrastinate.

Lines
L and I standing in line for supper:
Guy in front of us talking to L: Hey, we'll play AOE again on friday.
L: Ok, *points at me* She'll play too.
Guy: Oh? *Looks at me oddly* That's new. It's usually only guys that play...
L: Yea, she's actually really good.
Me: *thoroughly embarrassed* Don't say that. I haven't played in forever!
Guy: That's what he said, and he nearly beat me.
Yea, I'm a gamer... Makes things awkward sometimes...
