Can't find a good sleeping pattern. Can't fall asleep before 6am and am dead tired if I get up before 2pm. When I was working I had a great 11pm - 6am sleep pattern, even on weekends if nothing was going on. Tried waking up super early so I would be able to get to bed early, but the next day I was back in the pattern.

I guess sitting around all day doesn't make my body tired enough, and no motivation to get up early. Can't go outside for exercise because of the snow. Puting weight back on. No car to visit friends or go anywhere. No job. No girlfriend. Not in school.

I can and will change most of this eventually, but it's just a shitty patch of life I'm sick of experiencing. Cool thread to vent though, can't believe I never noticed it.

I have watched an unbelievable amount of "Scrubs" in the last 3 days...as in somewhere along the lines of about 30 episodes. I absolutely love Netflix.

I also beat like 4 games this weekend (Costume Quest, A Space Shooter for 2 Bucks, Pixeljunk Sidescroller, and something else I can't even remember).



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

God damn it. Too much Skyrim/bf/work has given me 62 and 60% in last semester's exams.

Need to shape up if I want that First Class. So I've given bf my controllers to hold on to for the next ten weeks...

It's only ten weeks.. o__0

I'm in a much better place now than I was the last few times I wrote in here. Sorry for the scare everyone (as if anyone followed my breakdown ).

Working out, reading and gaming are really helping me get through this tough time and in a week I've seen a tremendous bounce-back that I've never had before from one of my bouts with my manic mood.

For those interested in knowing what happened, if you follow me at all you'd know that I've been pretty head over heels for this girl on the other side of the planet. Heck, we Skype'd for like 6 hours a day for the last 6 months (minus my 2.5 week vacation where we wrote back and forth with email anyways). I planned on getting a job and making some money so I could fly out there and finally meet her in person too and had talked to her about this.

Aaanyways, on the 20th she told me she was pregnant... And it just absolutely stunned me and broke me again. I haven't exactly had the best record with relationships (if you could even call what I've had "relationships") and it just really caught me off guard and probably brought back a whole lot of trust issues I've always had. That's a story for another day. But yea... That's what happened.

It just really hit me that I can't seem to catch a break. I've worked hard all my life in school (I'm talking enrichment classes, straight A's, and going through one of the toughest university programs in Canada despite my lack of interest in the field - did I mention I've been unemployed for almost a year since I finished uni despite graduating near the top of my class?) and to please my family while trying to remain down to earth and sociable. My parents never let me hang out with friends or join teams and events and I respected them too much to lie to them or do anything behind their backs. So my social life was already in tatters. Being a first generation Canadian with strict Indian parents is a difficult balancing act.

Beyond that I don't drink or smoke, I exercise regularly, I dress well, and (I like to think) I'm funny. But I can't seem to ever make things work with girls I have feelings for. I've always treated them with respect and my intentions are always pure. I don't know what I'm lacking and it just bothers me so much. In the end of it I always end up getting the short end of the stick or emotionally crippled because of something "she" does.

It all just hit me that despite how much I try to improve myself and do the right thing, I still tend to get the short end of life. People are always telling me how it will get better or how I deserve more when I come crashing down but things rarely (if ever) seem to go in my favor. That's what that poem I shared here was about.

But yeah, things will only be as bad as I make them out to be. I've got my head up again and I've got some plans in motion for the job situation at the moment. I'm in the best shape I've been in since high school, and I've been more productive in the last week than I have cumulatively since graduating from undergrad last April. Things are looking great and I'm feeling it.

I can relate to you with a lot of what you just wrote.

My parents were dicks with me, not letting me go out with friends and it kinda screwed up any social life I had at the time.

I was crazy for a girl I'd never met before, it was mutual but distance sucks balls and that went tits up, although we still talk. I met my girlfriend through some other friends at college and we just clicked. Perfect match, she even likes to sit and watch me play Final Fantasy VII.

I did really well at school, got 14 GCSE's. I went to college and qualified as an electrician... Nothing came of that at all. I was in a warehouse for a Year!

Bodily-wise, I was a chubby waster. About 3 Years ago though I decided to go to the gym. Not to blow my own trumpet, but Im quite buff these days.

All in all, life was shit with the occasional bright point (the girl, passing college). Now... Life's brilliant! Im happy with work, I have a gorgeous girlfriend and I eat more KFC than any normal person should in a Week. I hope things turn out good for you in the end like they did for me!

Even before graduation one must face the stark world of job-hunting. Although i feel i have a sense of direction, which gives me a bit of comfort (specifically i'm trying for "Research" jobs, either in NGOs or the straight private sector, as Research seems to be what my training and schooling is good for)

Being in Japan has only made me realize how much further i would need to take my Japanese to be able to make anything professional of it, which is quite disheartening. Though i could at least continue my little fan-translation projects, or something.
