I too have been developing feelings for a friend lately. I feel it might be returned in turn, but I'm too worried I'm just unused to receiving attention/that she is just unusually friendly to do anything about it.

sigh
Honestly, it may be best just to talk about it, if you're not in a relationship. With her, to be clear. Or with a non gossipy friend.

Today was supposed to be my last chemotherapy but I caught a cold over the weekend so they decided to delay it a week. It's a bad idea to lower your immune system when you're already sick, doctors gotta doctor, but I was looking forward to being done with it. Prednisone is the nastiest medicine I have ever taken.

I too remember these feelings, and have them on a normal, regular basis. I am glad we are all healthy people who don't hide from the world to avoid a spiral of anxiety, depression, and failure.

Known many people on Prednisone, all of them have nothing but horror stories.

Hope you get better soon :(

I love all my friends, some of them platonically!

To me, Drakojan Skies is lucky; there's still info out there saying that it existed. There are almost certainly other games that now only exist in the memories of the people who played them.

Going on a bit of a tangent here, I'd say that the majority of things that had a presence on the internet have been lost to time, mostly by not having enough of an audience to be meaningfully archived, but how do you show that something is lost if all relevant info has been removed?
I can tell you about one: Post Mortem. You played a murdered executive of a company. I dont recall the details and I did not get far enough in the story. I remember the music, composed by the game maker's brother.
I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few that remembers this thing

I just started it Monday, no real issues so far. Other than the screaming agony that is my right leg. Apparently my body is trying to strangle my sciatic nerve going down into my right leg. Or, as I learned today, my spine may be growing into the nerve. Which would require costly tests and costly surgery and costly hospitalization. And almost certainly require me to go on income-reducing disability while I recover (fuck, I'm almost ready to go on it now...can barely focus enough to write emails).

Fuck my body, fuck the US healthcare system, and fuck the concept of money in general.

I heard the excellent phrase "nightmare tube" to describe the state of one's body recently. That's a good description. I live inside a nightmare tube that can't handle dairy or stress very well.

It seems that the cosmos does not want me to leave this place. I tried registering an account to apply for rental listings yesterday, but the system refused to send any verification emails to my email address. So the account never got set up.

I talked with a tech rep for a while, couldn't get anything worked out, they then said that there had been similar issues reported and they were working on it. Late last night I saw 5 verification emails tick in to my account, but the links they included were expired/unusable.

"Oh well, at least they fixed the system now!" I thought.

Tried again today.

Still won't send me any verification emails.


Guess I'm stuck here.

Hey, kagus. Could you try calling them directly? It may wotk faster, especially if you mention previous issues.

I was in an IM chat with one of their reps. The issue got resolved, and then it came back. It's apparently been a system-wide fuckup that they're trying to deal with, and there's not a whole lot I can do except wait and hope that they fix it. Again.

Tired, broke, hungover, a little under the weather and I just got home from seeing my shrink.
I am lying on my bed, but it feels as though I've just been washed ashore from a choppy sea of stress and strain.



Also I have things to do. Things both needed, wanted and all of the above.

My back is all kinds of fucked up. There's a huge knotted muscle just above my butt, I wake up with my left leg numb and tingling, and I spend all day with pain shooting up and down from my toes to the knot. The universe can't let me spend too long being healthy, or I might start enjoying myself or *gasp* furthering my interests.

I'm in a similar boat. A huge knot in my upper right gap between my spine and scapula. With my job, that's a problem.
