...which will require me reaching out to former colleagues asking for references. They’ve agreed to be references for me before, but I’m feeling shame anyway. I’m that person that reaches out only when I want something.
That’s who I am. I don’t feel badly enough about it to mend my ways though. 
Too bad cats can’t give references—those are my only reciprocal relationships.

Feel uptight
Emotionally repressed
Don't know why
Six weeks and counting, every day (two exception), gorged. One to eight and a half servings over.
Still no weight gain
Precious lil "people" do not want to be my friend or hire me because of my weird personality.
But I didn't choose my personality
Personality is nature versus nurture
No job, no job skills, no future, no hope, no precious lil "friends",
Only jobs I qualify for, all the entitled annoying ghetto lil riffraff on the bus, also qualifies for
f**k structural engineering
There is no counseling clinic, but the bus on the way back does not come frequently and I get tired way before 8 pm
The official current aikido instructor on Wednesday morning said she is just a shodan and has taken it 8 years
What? I took it ten years and counting
Over 450 lessons and she still calls me a "beginner"
Aikido is socially awkward, expensive, dangerous
And maybe I have Huntingtons or Parkinson's
Muscle spasms, muscle tremors
Pain receptors
Kind of want to quit
There's one woman that ofen goes and she talks to me afterwards
Sometimes
And nobody else does
My former aikido instructor walked me to the train station last week, but that was the first time in six months
He's usually on the phone
Extremely popular
Savant
Genius
Polymath

it's very likely that, since you're not gaining weight, you're judging your eating habits too harshly.

Just heard this on a Youtube vid on urban legends:
"So old its roots predates the internet"
Wow, imagine something predating the 1990's (or 80's or 60's, all depending on your definition of internet)!
