Any day of the week works for me but if it is a weekend I'll need to know more than an hour in advance. Also I'm currently dying so no tiny chat for at least a few days.

Something that annoys me...
A lot of people can't seem to grasp that food addiction is a real thing.
I have spent most of my life being heavily obese with society telling me it's my own fault because I can "just stop eating burgers and eat a fucking apple."
This annoys me to no end. My food problem wasn't always unhealthy junkfood - it could be regular, good-for-your-health food in extreme amounts.

If drug addiction, alcohol addiction, cigarette addiction and other such addictions are accepted to be real, why can't people understand that food addiction is just as real? The same centers in the brain are stimulated when a food addict eats as when a drug addict takes drugs. Obviously, drug addictions are harder to shake, but it is the same idea.

In the end, I beat my food addiction. But I still feel it lurking, and if I don't watch out, I'll get fat again.
But having society tell you that it's your own fault and making a joke out of a real problem doesn't exactly help morale or willpower.

</rant>

Oh it is a real problem, and that's why a huge number of diets don't work, because while you temporarily reduce the calorie intake, peeps don't treat the underlying cause and food addiction is usually replaced by another addiction.

Well done TR for taming your food addiction. So proud.

Yes I'm back in town. One night only... actually only a few moments. Work is insanely busy, life is insanely busy. But guess what? We are packing up our belongings and going on the wallaby, or around the block. So excited. Will be awesome fun.

But we could cheer you up! You know if we ever all get sick at once (and I know this has happened before, I remember at one point everyone was complaining about being sick in the rant thread) it would be pretty funny.

So since the fire I've been noticing a lot more bugs in the house and I haven't been sleeping as much. I'm really glad I'm moving in two weeks, because this is my life:

I've wanted to come back and be active many times in the past, but I always feel like I have nothing interesting to add.

I'm about darling but just not on these forums...

I'm on the beauty forums, asking "How do I just wax the front of my legs, to improve my aerodynamics?"

Oh dear, it's late. Best get my beauty sleep. I'll put my alarm on for 10 years from now and see if that makes a difference.

Timeless Rebellion 07-04-2013 09:38 AM

*insert cheesy line about not needing beauty sleep, pick your favourite*

I'm sure you do, but come back anyway! This place has emptied out a lot recently.

Saya 07-05-2013 01:56 PM

I feel 99% of the time I have nothing interesting to add. I just say whatever anyway just in case I'm wrong.

Timeless Rebellion 07-05-2013 04:54 PM

Saya: I feel the same way as it so happens :P If I were to only post on here when I felt I had something meaningful or insightful to add, I would have a post count of.... 5. Maybe 6.

Acharis 07-06-2013 07:19 AM

Doesn't have to be War And Peace, people.

Seriously, give me something to read or I'll be forced back to Vampirefreaks

The internet in one picture

Acharis 07-07-2013 01:18 AM

Maybe it'd be all of the internet if she had a can of spam in her hand as well. Goddamn spam.

Timeless Rebellion 07-07-2013 04:28 AM

And maybe some writing on her wall.

I have had a note on our common board here in my block for weeks now, asking if we could get together one day and clear out things from the storage room because it was dangerous to go in there now, and the fuse box is at the far end.

No replies.

Today came the day where I had to use the fuse box. I had to do a small gymnastic excercise to get there and get out again. The whole damned place looks like the storage room of a syndicate of house thieves....

I have the same problem with my roommates Timeless. What I decided to do is remove one item each garbage day. Been at it for about a year and the garage is easier to navigate through now.

Timeless Rebellion 07-07-2013 03:25 PM

I have a more aggressive strategy in mind. Because most of the stuff is obviously left behind by previous residents combined with the fact that the current state of things is in direct violation with the set of rules, I am going to call the janitor tomorrow and tell them that if they won't come do something about it, I am going to empty the whole thing out and put everything by the dumpsters.
I complained to the janitor before, and it was his recommendation to handle it with the other tenants. I wrote an e-mail about it last week, and now i had enough.

The switchbox HAS to be accessible. Also, I should be able to use one of the storage lockers as one is designated to my appartment, but all eight are filled up, so I am also going to empty out one of those.

I peeked in the ones without lock, and in one of them, two older flatscreens were just lying, casually tossed in there along with a bike and tons of trash.
I swear, I heard the entire storage room growl and move.

BourbonBoy 07-07-2013 05:47 PM

That's actually a pretty good idea. You should check to see if some of that stuff is still in working order so you can sell it. It's pretty amazing the kind of money you can make off of other people's junk.

I was looking back through old (well old-ish) photos and I realized how much Jake's physique has changed, I mean I know it has but I haven't really thought about it. In the last year he has put on 50lbs of muscle and has basically doubled what he can lift, that's kind of freaking insane. I know he feels like he is failing as his goal was to lose weight and the opposite has happened but he has worked so hard and is in much better shape. Naturally the Navy keeps getting on his ass for being overweight, despite his drastically improved PT scores and the fact that his body fat percentage has dropped by nearly three whole percentage points. Yay bureaucratically formulated fitness requirements.

Timeless Rebellion 07-17-2013 03:13 PM

I want to see Simon Templeman as The Doctor.
