therealljidolThe next time someone tells you that something is impossible - remind them that Charles Manson is engaged.
If that can happen, there is hope for the rest of us to accomplish anything.
Either that, or it's proof that the world is beyond redemption and we are all doomed!
It's one of those.
***
While you are pondering which one, keep in mind that the DEADLINE to get your entries in is TONIGHT: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/805095.html
I repeat that - TONIGHT.
I repeat it because, judging from the last couple times I've said it, there will be someone who will post to this thread saying "When is the deadline?" or "I thought it was tomorrow"... ;)
It's Tonight.
If you have posted, excellent! If you haven't - http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/806189.html (there is also a Work Room to figure out any problems you having: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/805341.html)
If you want to Home Game it, or discuss the Home Game entries giving constructive criticism via the Killing Floor, there's a place to do that! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/805793.html

What are YOUR moments that either give you hope or convince you that we are doomed?

Date: 2014-11-18 04:53 pm (UTC)This is on top of debating whether I should let him go to school (he loves school and seems fine, other than the one instance of puke yesterday), has no fever, etc. But it is also cold as shit outside AND I am functioning on a 1.25 hour nap plus another 1.5 hour nap before working 8 hours (last night) busting my butt...
Don't ask me how I can type sentences right now because I don't even know, okay? lol

Date: 2014-11-18 05:09 pm (UTC)NOPE.
MUAHAHAHAHA FIRST FOR ME.
Also it's sad that I have the energy to comment here but not make a million inane FB posts like I did yesterday.
I am still mad at myself that I left my caffeine at home last night and that I had to drink *shivers* SODA at work... I've found it's way too sweet for me, now. But I have a hard time with coffee, too, and well... Yeah.
C'mon Bob's bus. Nap-time/bed time is so close. SO CLOSE.

Date: 2014-11-19 01:34 pm (UTC)I usually drink tea. :) I occasionally indulge in a Monster Java, which is a french vanilla cappuccino flavored energy drink thing, but that's rare (they're expensive and my store doesn't sell them). I "like" coffee in the sense that it needs to be doctored up a lot. Which is too much work for me sometimes. xD

no subject
Date: 2014-11-19 01:36 pm (UTC)I was, but I am still tired today. Woke up at 10:15 to write for NaNo (I'm so woefully behind, sigh) and get ready for work. Tonight is the last night of an 8 day stretch. The child goes to my ex's house, though, at 6pm. :) So I'll get some sleep.

Date: 2014-11-18 05:54 pm (UTC)There will be a Starbucks beverage in my near future...

Date: 2014-11-19 01:38 pm (UTC)Monster Javas saved me Monday afternoon. I forgot the second one at home when I went to work, Monday night.

Date: 2014-11-18 05:38 pm (UTC)Can't talk, must play!
no subject
Date: 2014-11-19 01:39 pm (UTC)I now no longer own a computer that can play it, which is probably for the best. :)
no subject
Date: 2014-11-18 04:44 pm (UTC)I was up until 3:00 AM getting my entry finished and posted, since I can't update my LJ from wrk and I have bowling directly afterwards. Sleep is for the weak, lol!
no subject
Date: 2014-11-18 05:55 pm (UTC)I think I've bowled a turkey once, and if I remember correctly I didn't get another strike or spare for the rest of the game, which took a little of the shine off.

Date: 2014-11-18 10:53 pm (UTC)Would encourage me to try -- my bowling score is like a golf score and versa vice.

Date: 2014-11-18 05:54 pm (UTC)The fact that we have rain in the forecast for 3 out of the next 4 days gives me hope, not only do I need it to be grey and damp occasionally for my mental health, but oof we can use the wet.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-18 06:25 pm (UTC)For crappy IRL reasons, it's going to be exceedingly hard to get an entry in this week, but I don't feel ready to go out just yet. Since we're in the top 51, and byes and the Power of Veto are still in play...
...would anyone be willing to veto for me? Only if you weren't going to end up using your remaining bye yourself, of course. It would be incredibly appreciated.

Date: 2014-11-18 06:29 pm (UTC)At the cost of "two byes per gift bye". So you either need to get one person give you two byes (there is only one person with two left) OR two people give their remaining bye.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-18 06:45 pm (UTC)I don't like asking people for things, honestly, which is why I stress --only people who feel confident they won't need their bye. If that's nobody, I totally get it.

no subject
Date: 2014-11-18 10:36 pm (UTC)One generous person has offered me a bye, on the condition that I get another to combine into one gift bye.
Clauderainsrm has said that a few people with remaining byes have already turned in an entry --would any of those be willing to donate a bye? I just need one more.

Date: 2014-11-18 07:35 pm (UTC)We had our slides and a mockup plague pamphlet (which I am very proud of largely because when doing the text I had to copy and paste the ligatures by hand) and then covered it with bloodstains and graphorrhea. I put on a long black coat and raged against the heavens. It was therapeutic.
Also, don't pretend to suddenly begin to die of the plague while giving a presentation to a roomful of people who are all either future doctors or already nurses and EMTs. Apparently I'm really good at it. (http://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/acting_patrick_stewart.gif) Though, the play went great, a lot of people were seriously freaked out and they couldn't stop talking about it after.
...Hopefully at some point during all of this they managed to take notes on the reservoir, infectious dose, and morphology of Yersinia pestis because it's going to be on the exam.
...
Date: 2014-11-18 09:06 pm (UTC)How do you tell someone that you *HOPE* that the doctor confirms that they really are sick?!
