I disenjoy this body that tells me I should hate a person I know nothing of beyond their name because they're in a relationship with someone I am attracted to. Hating people is an unpleasant experience for everyone involved and I don't see why their relationship should compel me to be resentful, jealous, and vindictive. I'm actually somewhat insulted by the urge as it implies that the person I'm attracted to is something to be owned and possessed rather than admired and loved unconditionally. Yet repressing these urges causes me physical pain and makes me even more shy and reserved than I already am. I do wonder how others cope with them.

Gatsby, really? That book's prose is really easy and enjoyable to read. I mean, I don't see why it would be harder to understand than any other modern English novel.

The prose was okay and stuff but I drowned in the metric ton of shit I couldn't give about everybody in it.

I literally cannot get into A Farewell to Arms for my IB English class. I have made myself read every single book in every English class up to this point, but I'm throwing in the towel here. Reading this book is like trying to eat paper. In the end, it'll probably be safer for my sanity if I just read the Spark Notes and skim sections. But it's a pretty big blow to my pride, considering that I've always tried to do everything "the right way" when it comes to assignments.

Also, last night is the first time in many weeks that I've gotten to bed at a decent hour. Guess what, I proceed to toss and turn and wake up sweating every few hours until I just give up.

There's no shame in that; I couldn't read 30 words of Gatsby without getting dizzy or 30 words of Handmaid's Tale without falling asleep and I still bullshitted my way to excellence.
Then again IB English in general is learning how to bullshit sprinkled with essays.

YouTube took away the pause button on mobile devices.
First world problem, but still. The fuck. Why have a video thing if there's no pause button?

That was kinda fun. I remember being massively OP though.

Warrior? Bah. Rogue is the way to go.
Plus Dran's gonna want to get some of those magic powers once he sees them.
