yeah it's weird. b/c i am bored of myself. and i am bored of the city i live in. and that is "As Good As it Gets."

b/c feel exhausted. chronically and extremely. feel too physically weak and emotionally apathetic to do anything. and do not feel like anything i do matters. but then bored of not doing anything.

I think boredom is a greatly underestimated mind killer. The thought of it can spur me to keep preoccupied with my books, studies and artwork, etc... but it can be very hard to motivate oneself when one feels there is no reward or point to the task. One might be blessed with time and options, but a part of you just refuses to acknowledge the worthiness of using talents no one else knows about, or cares to know.

Whenever I wear a t-shirt and shorts, everyone thinks I'm twelve. :lol:

I hid underneath a Union Jack for years because I didn't want to scare myself or others.

I envy people who aren't obsessed with their weight. I miss when I didn't think about it all the time. Wish I could just be fat and not care in the least. I'm a healthy weight, but I feel like I'm a gazillion pounds anyway, and I hate it.

Why are you obsessed about it?
I recently read an article on this sort of thing which may or may not interest you - http://www.shape.com/lifestyle/mind-and ... king-trail
Body positive kind of stuff and this woman having it challenged.
I'm kind of obsessing about weight, but it's not about trying to be skinny. I want to be fit / strong / muscular / awesome.


Dunno. I guess it's because it's something other people value? I never cared about my weight growing up, but I lost a few pounds when I moved to NYC, and I got tons of compliments. That turned on a light bulb, so to speak. Being thin became something I could become objectively good at. I have other things I feel like I'm good at nowadays, but it's never really quite gone away. Being anything other than thin isn't acceptable to me now (for me only; I don't care what other people look like).

I think a lot of people are moving towards being fit/strong/muscular nowadays, in light of the body positivity movement. Which is a good thing, I think, since exercise truly is beneficial, and its positive effects go far beyond just losing weight. (Runner's high ftw :D ) Ultimately, you need to do what makes you happy, as I think the girl in that article found. Hating yourself for your shortcomings makes you less likely to try even the things you could succeed at and enjoy.

My sound / ear / throat issue. I think I may have an infection. I'm actually happy about it if I do have an infection - it means that the tinnitus is likely to be temporary.

Why is a mouse when it spins? Never did know the answer to that one.

I've now coughed up both lungs so I'll take this opportunity to clean them off and poke them back in with a stick.
