    So, I worked with a friend at his job in the past, though paid under the table. Today, he came over and bribed me with alcohol to fill in for him at his job. I'm actually ok with it, and even without the alcohol would be ok with it, but now that I'm drunk, I'm depressed and really being harsh at myself with the self loathing. Why the fuck can't I be happy? I'm being seriously honest when I say that I haven't been happy in a long time. I don't know, maybe I'm just being a baby.

    The little things that piss you off

    @Frozen Beach : Alcohol: It's a depressant. Also, happiness is a fleeting feeling, not a state of being. You have to seek it, and sometimes it's right there but you can't feel it. You have to want to feel it. It can come from the smallest things. So, no, you're not a baby,

    Thing that pisses me off: My mother.

    When people change plans the last minute and I'm just expected to go along with it, again and again. People like to think they're being spontaneous but they're really just being plain unreliable and flakey. If I can't count on you, I'm not going to be making any more plans with you.

    I have a little time in the next weeks, so I want to do some of the things I had to delay until now. Unfortunately, these are so many things that I can't decide which one to begin with. Watch the most important movies of the past year? Re-watch Game of Thrones Season 1&2? Read the GoT books? Finish Skyrim and the new expansion? Read a few classic economics books? Or start viewing all the culturally significant American TV shows of the last decade (you know, the trend that began with The Sopranos, but there's also The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Walking Dead, all those shows that are reportedly extremely good and culturally significant, but which are hard to watch on german television).
    Anyway, there's so much to occupy myself with that I get scared of deciding for one thing and I end up hanging around on the Internet in the most apathetic way.

    I'm Greek, English is my second language (as you can tell by the majority of my posts), and I like it, I like its sound, its simple structure, I'm pretty much used to it since I consume English-language films and music all the time, 90% of the text I read (and write) on the Internet is in English, so, I'm okay with it, in most cases...

    ...but, if there's one word I absolutely HATE, it's the word "powerhouse". I hate the combination of the words "horse" and "power" that's not "horsepower". I hate how it sounds. I hate its meaning. I hate it, hate it, hate it. If anyone wants to give me positive feedback but uses the word "powerhouse" to describe what I do, I'll slap them in the face so hard they'll feel like they've been ass-whooped by a herd of electricity-spitting horses.

    Well for one- and like I said to someone else on here recently- your English is excellent, I had no idea it wasn't your first language.

    And as for "powerhouse", it's one of those words that has lost meaning over time. Originally it was referring to the actual building housing the turbines that generated power in a hydro-electric dam, I'm pretty sure...

    Etymology of powerhouse:

    Nothing about horses.

    To be fair, anyone that uses powerhouse deserves a slap.

    Organizing pinned apps in Windows 8. I can't just auto-arrange them alphabetically, and manual arrangement is a pain in the ass.

    So..my grandmother is in the hospital and it's not looking too good. She's having trouble breathing and they don't know why (and they've got her on oxygen now) and they tested her kidneys and they're only working at 28%. On top of that, I just heard from my dad that now she's having stomach pains, but we don't know why yet. And I'm 400 miles away. Fuck.

    Yeah, it's bad. My dad just called and said that now they found out that she has an enlarged heart and apparently she's on morphine, which my dad thinks is a really bad sign. He suspects the worst. I hope he's wrong. And also she's stuttering and they don't know why.

    Edit: And thank you for thinking of me, Fixer.

    My apartment complex was having a chicken nugget-eating contest today. Most nuggets in 3 minutes wins a $50 prepaid gift card. My roommate and I got super pumped for it. Turns out they cancelled it because nobody signed up. If me and him had known we had to register ahead of time, we would have literally been the only two people competing, and could've split the money.

    First-world problem, for sure. :\

    Also, the fact that the trailers for Oblivion seem to give away way too much, and that the story seems to be really predicable and cliche. I hope it's at least some beautiful, delicious eye candy.

    When people exit the subway through the door that triggers an alarm, even though I occasionally, only rarely, will hypocritically follow them.

    Been there. Had my mother over before I realised. Though I think she thought it was a fancy shower gel bottle.

    On the Skytrain here you can't move between cars. However, my gripe is with people who try to push their way onto the train before people have finished getting off it.

    Related transit rage, there's one particular stop I use where- instead of lining up and getting on in an orderly fashion like decent fucking human beings- for some reason the crowd just mobs the doors and tries to push its way on. I'm going to start wearing Gwar armor when I have to use that stop.
