The cons of being intelligent! 

My grammar is pretty okay, but I'd say that my handwriting is garbage. I had a teacher who messed my brain up by forcing me to write with my right hand instead of my left hand since being left handed was "bad" to her.

Really? I'm left handed, and I've never had a teacher force me to write with my right hand (except for guitar class, which I had to play right-handed, because my teacher didn't want my guitar to collide with others).

That teacher was a Catholic school teacher before she was transferred out to the public school system

I'm still surprised that she did that. Did your parents know of it? It just seems weird to me that she was able to get away with doing it.

I'm a leftie, and I've still not mastered how to write with a pen without smudging even a tiny bit... unless it's a special sort of pen, lol. Although I kinda' taught myself to write with my right hand of my own accord just so I could tell people I'm ambidextrous... my writing with my right hand is definitely readable, and honestly it's rather "neat" all things considered, but I have found it makes life easier while drawing, since some lines tend to be easier to draw with my right hand than my left, so that's always a good thing.

I play guitar but can't for the life of me play a left handed guitar, lol :P 

Well, I can't play guitar left-handed now, because I had to learn it right-handed! However, I'm mainly a drummer anyways, I don't really play guitar.

Well. Today was an interesting day. My last meal was about 30 hours ago. I had a glass of water in the morning. A few crackers. Ha! For the rest of the day, it was vodka. 5 cigarettes. A few pot blasts. I'm still not hungry. Go figure. I also ( obviously ) didn't work out. Played EDF 4.1 for 4 hours. So there's some bad habits for you. Bad day in terms of excess. I try, usually. But today, I didn't even try to try. Feeling fine for what it's worth. :) Honestly, EDF 4.1 is my worst new habit. Since I've REALLY gotten into it over the last 6 weeks, my workouts have dwindled considerably. Which hasn't happened in about 4 years. It's a demanding mistress. For more info on today, please subscribe to my newsletter.

Certainly a lot happened today for you for sure XD 

Lol. Lot's of bad habit stuff anyways. But like I say, I feel good. Another bad habit is posting gifs on VGC.







Have a good night man. :)

They found out towards the end of my second year with her (she did it from Preschool to Kindergarten). She got in trouble

Smart guys need love too. Also, dumb guys.

I've always fancied getting into the drums, whenever I go round to my mate's house I mess around on his kit, he reckons if I got my own and practiced enough I'd be really good, since I'm great at keeping pace and stuff, although I just don't have the time, or the room for that matter, to dedicate myself to something else... at least with my guitar I can just take it off the stand and sit on my bed playing it or whatever, although I've not played "properly" for a while anyway, whenever I pick it up now, just a few times a week, I'll play a few random songs, mainly Final Fantasy songs, just so I don't quite lose my edge with it, lol.

Yeah, it kind of sucks. I still live with my parents and siblings, so I can't play it whenever because it's too loud! I also only have a single bass pedal, so I can't play a lot of music that I listen to (like death metal and black metal). I have tried playing video game music before though, and it kind of works.

Letting bad days dictate weeks.

As for physical habits, probably forgetting/ too lazy to do my acne stuff daily. So I have lack of acne when I use it, but then I think its totally gone and no longer need the stuff, then they come back.

I have something similar, although it's not necessarily a habit... due to my mental health and medication I take, I tend to have a lot of moodswings, but I can have one really bad day, and even if nothing goes wrong for the following days, maybe even over a week, I'll still feel the same way I did on that day, so I'll be angry or upset over nothing, until all of a sudden, boom, I'm happy, or at least normal, again, lol.

As for bad habits... aside from the obvious one of buying games and not playing them, lol, I know there's one that really annoys my co-workers; 

At work there's always handwritten notes and stuff left in the staff room or behind the tills, and it's amazing just how bad some of my co-workers' spelling, grammar and  handwriting are, so I'll go out of my way to rewrite the note in a readable style, with corrections to spelling and grammar, I see it as helping them, yet everyone always complains about it, and I've even had a warning from my manager because apparently my "higher level of literacy" is offensive to them... how is that even a thing?!

I have never been checked out or anything for mental health. But I know I can be obsessive about things, and that leads to the lingering. I always like to amp myself up about it and try to make it positive though, so I often credit the obsessiveness to my awesome memory.

For example I can bring up stuff from months ago, that a lot of people would just forget. Sometimes it can lead people into thinking I hold too many grudges.

Which ones?

You had to know someone would ask that, right?

I'm not him, but I love a lot of FFX songs like Besaid, Tidus' Theme, Otherworld, Servants of the Mountain, The Splendid Performance, The Summoning... I just love the soundtrack to that game! It's probably my all time favourite, along with Silent Hill 1 and 2.
