How was your day?

[KhainiWest]

Well, it's 6:20am.. and this is my fourth night of no sleep? Why you ask? Because as I've spent the summer in Toronto with my fiancee who I met on MS, I am now faced with something I don't think I could've prepared myself for, Meeting her parents. They spend most of the year in Hong Kong but are coming home on Oct 2nd. This wouldn't be such a big issue if she hadn't only JUST told them about me last night. Yes, a full year of not mentioning me.. I am a bit upset about it, because it does put me in quite the position.

So I look forward to more sleepless nights of stressing out ahead, and then finally I get to deal with actually meeting them, dealing with the language barrier (Mom speaks only Cantonese, and Dad only a little english) And of course deal with the fact that I am not Chinese.. and they are very traditional parents. I don't even know what to expect really ..sigh

Advice from doctor sh`it here!

Don't stress about it. I'm kind of in the same position as you (ms gf rl whathaveyou) and she just stayed at my house for about 3 months to get the feeling of what the united states is like. My parents were skeptical for a few things sufficed to say, (age difference, scotland, online) but they fell for her, fast and easy. I'm meeting her parents this summer, although I guess I'm fortunate they know about me, but if it's been going on for a year, portion of it in real life, I doubt they'll be that skeptical. Parent's are typically painfully oblivious of how online relationships function, they feel a lot better if you at least meet in real life, and if it lasts a long time. Now I'm assuming these are asian parents (no racisism intended) which means you just need to flaunt you aren't a bum. Getting no sleep over it is just gonna hurt you and most likely her in the long run.

Your girlfriend is dating you, her parents aren't, just act normal, polite, and sincere and you'll win.

Edit:

As for my day yesterday it was pretty horrible. I essentially got threatened to lose a lot of priveledges for stouting my opinion, which wasn't unreasonable mind you. Too pissed to even counter the clear retarded mountain created by a mole hill.

EditEdit: Oh wow, got an apology from said mountain creator. TODAY IS LOOKING GREAT. (pretty much the district manager of my department lol)

Thanks dude. Thing is I'm usually REALLY good with parents, when we can talk and converse lol. So this will be kind of tough.

Strawberries? Check.

Carrots? Check.
Apple? Check.
Green Beans with Extra Virgin Olive Oil? Check.

Yummy supper? Check.

This tastes absolutely delicious.

Now down 80 pounds and lovin' it. Testosterone shots are starting to have a huge impact. I feel far more confident. As I said earlier in IRC, "It's this weird feeling like I take up more space in a room than I actually do." That's what confidence makes you feel like. I feel stronger, younger, virile, and man it makes you feel much, much better when testosterone levels are more in check.

Caught my family friend's mother in a lie. She lied about her son about a year ago of him going to pharmacy school. Saw his Facebook today. Theology grad school.

Yeah...

I feel like I 100%d my Calculus test, but expecting at least an A. Work is getting more and more stressful this is eating away at me, I'm am completely screwed for Friday and corporate higher ups are going to be very upset with me but whatever I will not lie. Also, been waiting for about three days on something I guess it's time to just give up. I suppose I tried, sort of.

Sick as f'uck. Somewhat stressed. FML

Actually got an 84 on the midterm I thought I bombed. Still not good enough, but at least it's better than what I expected. Class average was somehow a 65.

[DeanNim]

So i woke up went to meet up with 2 friends to collect money for SMTown tickets. that was all... oh yeah i napped for the rest of the day.

Prelim (aka midterm) in a couple of hours. I think and hope I'll ace it, but I dunno, I totally haven't been studying that much because I already really know the material. Let's see how it goes.

Woke up to roofers hard at work ~ at 7am.

[SunYanZi]

Woke up, beat my sausage, pissed and pooped, then showered, then shaved all parts of my body except my legs...should I continue?

[Nion]

Woke up, ate ravioli for breakfast, lurking on forums.

Teleconferences. They make me want to kill babies by beating them to death with puppies.. Tuesday saw me spending 5 hours on 5 calls for 4 different programs. Which meant nothing was done for any of them that day. One of those was a call to NASA to report on a project my company and Bell Helicopter are doing for them. Today my coworker and I had a call with just Bell to hear all about how we collectively totally pineappleed that up. Like a disappointed parent belittling a child. Picking up a phone at work makes me want to scream at everyone involved as I'm reminded how much I hate them, what they want from me, and when they want it from me. I just don't give any pomegranates about this place or anything it does. And it glares in my brain when there's a receiver at my ear.

So I got some vodka and Arnold Palmer to experiment with as a drink of goodness. Except the gallon of Palmer hit the sidewalk and exploded. Then one of my raspberry cartons popped open and sprayed half its contents around the kitchen when I pulled it from the grocery bag. Just for good measure.

Proper anger and rage is a rare emotion for me.

And I burned my cookies.

[Corn]

Uh...took the prelim. Did and checked all the questions except the last one in like 30 minutes.

Spend the next two hours unsuccessfully trying to solve the last question .

If things don't change after tomorrow I'll be quitting my job in 2 weeks.

[李船長]

Going to Qingdao tomorrow. I'm sleeping with a random guy at his house in exchange for my room mates being able to sleep at his place too. Taking one for the team.
