Hopefully, by the end of the year I'll have my own self assembled computer system up & running.

Why does every third commercial on TV have to do with bodily functions and blowing your nose? There's also one commercial about a sort of medication for diabetics that causes bleeding. The announcer talks about side effects being blood and bleeding for two minutes. What happened to the good old commercials about Wonder Bread and Lego?

I know what you mean by those absurd commercials, as if to say, that your most likely to experience some serious side effects resulting in your death.

I liked television when commercials were fun.

I feel protected by the Sweet Pea. It acts as a buffer between WP and myself.

England acted as a buffer between the world and I for 30 years. I don't need a buffer. I need to toughen up and show my true colours to WP. The Sweet Pea is a nice way to welcome Spring, though.

The only commercials I can stand are the pet food commercials. They are the only ones that are cute and nice.

Photobucket used to be cool, but now it sucks.

I caught myself doing the same thing with Peahawk as I was doing with England for years. Everyone on WP knows that I'm a Sweet Pea. If something becomes a buffer, I need to toughen up and show myself to WP.

Tomorrow's going to be a very busy day for me - group therapy, individual therapy, stop at the library to return books, stop at the pet store to get some stuff to donate to a local animal shelter, a trip to IKEA, and horseback riding lessons. Perfect time for me to stumble upon a movie I don't actually want to see at all but promptly became obsessed with nonetheless, so instead of getting a good night's sleep, I stayed up way too late finding everything I could about Thanatomorphose (warning - if you're at all sensitive to gore and/or decay, don't look it up, trust me).

I feel like my life is being wasted because I don't have the executive functioning to plan what I want to do.
So I guess I'll spend the rest of my lîfe on WP making useless posts.
