Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

[OCG]

+ I am soon gonna beat it again for Let's Play after all those years.

[Rulez]

+ I made a guitar cover of Unintended by Muse and I hope this will impress Adsolution enough to talk him into having buttsex with me!

[Keane]

+ Really getting into Pokemon Black

+ Had pizza

[Razorbeard]

+ New episode of Korra
+ Feeling healthier
+ Slowly but surely working towards 100% on Pokemon X
- Fainted Zygarde
+ Have a save from before the encounter

[Master]

+/- Managed to get through Korra Book 1 in the span of a day, I'd watched quite a bit of the first ep already before I started, mind you.
- I woke up late, hate it when that happens.
- My hands feel weird.

-/+ Ever since I was about 9 or 10 years old, I've had this unusual habit of wandering around, pacing around in circles while daydreaming. Over the years it's kind of gotten worse, several times a day I will have urges to walk/run/skip around the backyard while listening to music and daydreaming vividly (People in the IRC may have seen me say I'm gonna go run around, that is what I'm doing). and even when I am not listening to music I do tend to pace around, occasionally jumping or skipping or running while daydreaming, but music I like usually triggers it, especially if I am in some kind of motion like walking or in a car. So today I searched this up, and this description (And other things I do of a similar nature) matches almost perfectly to 'maladaptive daydreaming'. I guess it is sort of a relief to know why I've been like this, but I know I'm gonna feel awkward when I discuss it with my mother.

If it helps, I've been exactly the same ever since I learned how to walk. I frequently have to stop myself from daydreaming and coming up with stories while walking down pavements in public or I'll mindlessly break into a run or a skip, which has on several occasions caused me to fall over and injure my knees .

+ It's good to know I'm not the only one.
- I'm still wondering a lot about my obsessive phases and and tics. Ever since I can remember I've gone through phases of fixation on certain subjects, as some here already know. And I also have tics that change from time to time, which I had mostly when I was very young but since high school they've started coming back. Stuff like crinkling my nose, excessive blinking, touching my nose with my upper lip, throat clearing and grunting, and more recently, twitching my arms. I don't know if I'm just overthinking this though, it might just be part of the anxiety I was diagnosed with when I was younger.

[Keane]

+ I do the whole pacing thing exactly like you describe and I don't mind it at all really. Gets my mind off things. Does it bother you?

- Agh I also do all those other things you describe. And yeah, phases that last for a while until another one comes up. Alone I don't mind but when I'm around other people having to resist it is almost impossible. I kinda wish I knew more about whether I've been diagnosed for anything as I'm more then convinced I have anxiety. Also thought I had aspergers for a while but after reading up on it that's surely not the case.

[Zikken]

Hm, I do nothing of that, if I daydream I become a vegetable and sometime hours passes before I even know that I was. I kind of space out for a while, its bothering me a bit since it kept happening in school in the past. Sometimes I'm playing some game, or doing anything and I suddenly space out and just fix the screen or whatever I was doing for a while. I never know when it happens or when its going to happen it just do.

+ woke up earlier than usual.
- fell asleep at 4 am with my friend asking if I was there and my mom saw light in my room and saw me sleeping with my laptop oh god.

[technology4617]

-/+ My family and I moved into a larger house, and I have to setup everything, and I mean everything, related to the TV in some way.
+ Got the 60GB BC PS3 with hardware emulation recently.
- The TV/HT system is not set up yet, so I can't use it.
- My desktop isn't set up yet.

[Electoon]

+++Got to go home again this weekend, which meant more time with family, more work on my animation project and more Classic Doctor Who
- Had to borrow money from flatmate in order to make it due to my usual lift home losing her phone
- Was actually the second person I had to meet on Friday to lose her phone, so I am now very busy today due to rescheduling
+/- Had to wait an hour take the latest train back to campus due to missing the first one. On the plus side, this was probably because I was having a lot of fun playing SF2 with my brother
- I am now running on very little energy as a result of getting home so late
+ Reading week (half term) is next week
+ I should actually be getting my PC soon
--- Student Finance have still not given me their loan and grant, and I am now in debt

EDIT:

-/+ Discovered that due to the current situation, the delivery of my PC has been delayed again to after the half term. It's a slight shame because it means that It'll be a lot easier to go back to campus a little earlier than I would have done with the computer so it can all be set up, which means less time with family. On the other hand, it means I have more time to make sure my computer is ready with all the right files, and as half term comes first, it's not like I'm going to be waiting ages in boredom without a proper computer again

[Keane]

+ Had good dinner

+ Friend in the US contacted me today saying he was excited to meet me again. Usually not too interested in talking with him but I kinda do feel like meeting him now.

+/- Kinda lost in thought today

[Zikken]

- Had a pretty horrible day.
- Finally got the "courage" to get in a skype chat with my friend, but then left because a complete stranger joined in.
- I took 3 years to get there, awesome.
- Feeling miserable.
+ had mushroom soup thing.

[Dart]

[Dark Lum Lord]

[Master]

+ Was a decent day
- The status of one of my homeworks is dubious
- Tomorrow's going to be one heck of a headache.

[Adsolution]

Well, nearly a week late, but I didn't feel I could respond any earlier:

Ad, I can imagine that there are some traumas that you can't truly shake off, I don't think anyone here minds if you or anyone else needs to vent or let loose. It's one of the reasons I like this community, people here are willing to listen and support.

Indeed, thank you.

The fuck kind of response is that from me?

--

+ I got commissioned to do a rap beat for someone for $70. At least there's money sort of consistently coming from completely arbitrary locations, which I'll attribute to luck, and perhaps a slight bit of subconscious effort.

[Zikken]

+ It was a peaceful day, for once I didn't get hammered by anyone on the head, probably because dad was away at work all day.
- Got another freaking art block, I feel like I have been stuck in one all year, the fuck.
- My photophobia is back to attack my eyes again, its quite painful, I thought it was gone, my eyes have been burning all day because of this.

[Bradandez]

+ Did homework
+ Got some of my entry done
- Forgot to work on comic
