The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Eligos]

Man it's just reactions to normal everyday stuff that I can't think on my feet well enough to respond to, like I would if I was well rested. Stressors that I usually handle well lead to short panic attacks, and after I figure them out, I'm exhausted.

I just had a really busy weekend and didn't get as much rest as I'm used to, so this will pass soon, probably after a night of good sleep.

Mathiäs is off the wedding too

Yep and so is KafkaX but only cause he asked so nicely
It's gonna be one hell of an empty wedding, but hey, that means it won't cost much either. Bonus! Lol

My mind stops working when I'm tired. I get like this foggyness that inhibits normal function. Same thing happens when I get too much sleep.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

I think it's a matter of how tired. If I tough it out through fatigue, I personally enter a state of pretty acute, slap-happy clarity.

Also just finished my first recycled candle. Crackling Campfire, Burning Leaves, and Pine scents all mixed together. It isn't the prettiest thing in the world, but damn does it smell good. Burning evenly too.

Currently bullshitting an outline for a speech I have to make in front of a class in two days.

I get like that too. I come over so tired then it kinda goes and I'm wide awake but really giddy, most nights I only get 4 hrs sleep anyways, me and sleep aren't friends so I get that whole fatigue thing a lot :/

Cool that you recycle and make your own candles do you just melt them all together?

That doesnt sound like fun. Especially to go through when you are running on empty. I tend to do that a lot as it is and couldnt deal with those side effects...

Tax season is starting to pick up at the firm here, so there is a lot more stress and longer days happening. The trade off for me is easily compensated by smoking a bowl an hour or two earlier than I did the previous night, and I wake up a brand new man.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

I react similarly when I'm tired. I'm usually pretty friendly/non-confrontational but when tired I become rash and stressed easily. I blame the weather. Like waking up and it being still dark as shit outside makes you feel like you haven't slept much. At least it does for me.

Anyways, hang in there Kevin. Juggling school, work, and music is a lot but all very rewarding and may become easier when it's warmer out. But yeah sleep more if you can find the time.

Listening to Queen's of the Stone Age's last album "…Like Clockwork" Man this shit is awesome and has such a feel good vibe to it too.

Brilliant! Can't wait my love
Yeah haha most definitely not Zephyrus lmao unless he's being nice that is and not telling us off like naughty little children harhar

I'm simply recommending a more efficient, and less public, form of communication between you two. I'm delighted to see you two becoming friends. This forum has been the genesis of many real life friendships for me personally.

Sounds like the kind of class I currently teach. What's it about?


Also, on the neurological discussion, I teach an early evening class for two hours every day, and by the time it's over my brain is running on fumes and I always spend the bus ride home in a complete daze. I usually come back to life once I eat dinner.

Yep, that's pretty much it. Get a piece of twine, soak it in wax, and dangle it down to the bottom of the jar until it's filled up and hard with the new candle. I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna throw out my dozens of half-burnt candles just because the wick is gone.

I'm demonstrating a couple of basic weightlifting exercises. It's just an oral communications class, nothing special. I.E The dreaded speech class lol.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I haven't, but Cambridge Histories tend to be as well written as they are informative.

Do you have any recommended reading, other than what we've mentioned, for Byzantium?

 

[damnromulans]

Sleep deprivation, even 1-2 hours, is the worst. Hope you feel better soon Kevin.

I keep having weird dreams about Cody and I feel like a pervert. :\

 

[Eligos]

Yep, already feel better today for the most part. Getting shit done, per the usual. Got an exam in my Intermediate Accounting I class tonight, gonna make that thing my bitch.

 

[damnromulans]

You are Hamburger Boy's creepy predator friend and the exam is Hamburger Boy.

 

[Eligos]

metaphorically speaking, yes.

Being a main character in your dreamworld, I believe I am entitled to details.

Currently at work. Getting tattooed again today. I think I have 1 more appointment after this and then I take a break for awhile.

Im so not looking forward to another 5 hours of hell.

I totally agree, especially when you buy a candle and it burns lopsided then your left with half a candle you can't use lol
Do you melt all the candles you want to use in the same pot or do you melt them separately and then add them layer on layer to make the new one?

 

[damnromulans]

Do you go in sober? Meditate while being tattooed? I get restless leg syndrome if I can't fidget!

Just a bunch of gay shit I can't really remember, uh, yeah

I understand, tbf we should've just PM'd each other from the start rather than making everyone read our crazy ramblings lol
You are now back on the wedding invite list
