How has your day been?

[Amaranthus]

I just got a 3 month ban on another forum. Yay!

[Davetello]

It's been okay. Messing around looking at things and flitting from place to place on the internet. Got no study or watching of TV shows done, which is a shame as I'd planned to use today for that. But I got no sleep last night so that all went out of the window.

[Candy Kappa]

My day's been relatively chill. spent the morning watching Fresh Prince with my partner, and work have been very quiet.

[AT-Man]

I woke up and had to throw up, because I got ill.

[Powder]

Very motivated to draw, had some pizza, discovered an episode of my favorite anime that I was not aware existed, so it's a good one thus far.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Really boring an uneventful.

[tmntpower1988]

Didn't do much, watched some Pokemon episodes earlier then played Saints Row on the Xbox 360. Waiting on a Dominos pizza, can't wait for it to come, it's been a while since I've had pizza.

[IndigoErth]

Kind of a nothing sort of day. One of those I haven't accomplished much, spent most of it on the computer and look toward a window only to feel surprised it's already dark out.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I woke up and had to throw up, because I got ill.

oh damn! :o :(

any ways, my day was laziness! it's peaceful lol :lol:

[AT-Man]

oh damn! :o :(

Thanks for your sympathies! At least I don't feel nauseous anymore but the fever stays.

[Donnieangelo]

It's snowing outside right now! :o

Just spent a whole day in my pajamas. Oh yeah.

[TMNTFOREVA]

It's just been a boring rainy day.... :)

[Peanut]

I had been planning to play some games today, but it seems like that's just never in the cards for me anymore. My fiance had a rare late work day, which meant from 2 - 11 I'd be alone and without obligation. Basically turned into a few hours of cleaning, some light cooking and then the weather got awful and my brain exploded.

Laid on the couch watching a Godzilla movie and suffered from intense migraine the entire time. Another day wasted. Absolute bullsh*t. The beer was cold and everything!

[snake]

I played video games all day. Truely living the life.

[Peanut]

You got it, snake. Live that dream and allow me to live vicariously through you!

[Ravenshell]

Woke up from a nightmare. Been puttering around since. Had some zucchini bread though, so that makes everythihng better. ^_^

[IndigoErth]

After 8:30am and I have not been to bed. Saw the link to that "blue door" script...had never really looked at it before. So... after meaning to go to bed at a slightly more sane time I stayed up and read the damn thing. I think a part of me died at the end, how am I supposed to go to sleep with this now burned into my mind. How do I cleanse myself from the knowledge of that which I am glad never became "real." (And it better as hell not.) So far that's how my day is - I feel icky. Heartbroken maybe, among the high levels of wtf. Hope a little sleep gets rid of that.

[Mew]

I have been meh. It's my first day of going on a diet.

[pennydreadful]

Honey, your profile says you're 11 years old - I'm sure that you don't need to go on a diet. Your body needs food to grow and stay strong. If you're worried about your weight, you should talk to your doctor - I wouldn't be doing anything more than cutting back on junky stuff like soda/chocolate/crisps, and just taking a walk/doing a half hour or so of exercise a couple of times a week.

[Davetello]

Yep. You're only eleven man. You should be enjoying your youth, not worrying about your weight :(

[Ashangelo]

Worked 7-5, did some grocery shopping, now relaxing at home.

The glorious life of an adult lol.

[Davetello]

Waiting on an assignment score. Been confirmed that it will be received by Tuesday. I think I might do fairly well but I also made some obvious & glaring errors, uncharacteristically. I look forward to getting the result though - the tutor seems very nice and she always gives good feedback.

[Prowler]

Just a typical relaxing Sunday. Monday is nearing by, though. :(

[blindturtle02]

Hasn't been too eventful. That's how I like weekends. I started some sort of Forgotten Relms series of books that numbers in the 200's and am totally lost as to where they all fit chronologically. Watched some Simpsons season 3 and 7. Oh, and I slept a lot this afternoon. I couldn't help it. It was freezing outside.

Sounds about right. Weekends, especially Sunday, is a day to just sit back and take it easy.

[blindturtle02]

Exactly. I love to read so I usually set aside quite a lot of time on weekends to do that.

[IndigoErth]

So... after the all-nighter, I got out of bed at like, um, 4pm. I regret nothing. (Well, reading that script is something. Other than that...) Rained all day and temps never made it to into the 60s as predicted, so.. meh, didn't miss much. I did get the fish tank cleaned, that's something.

Well played. Not a thing wrong with all-nighters. I did a 48 hour er, went to bed at 3pm, missed all of the football and woke up at 11.30pm. It's now 2.35 am.

I've been pulling 1 every month lately since I keep fixing and breaking my sleep. I don't like them, though. And 8 times out of 10, my body tells my mind to go to bed at around 10-11 am.

My record is being up for 33 hours straight. 48 and beyond? Don't you start having hallucinations and paranoia at that point? And around 65 hours... don't you just collapse on the ground and fall asleep instantly?

[Slade]

Today is one of those f*ck everybody and everything days!

Think somewhere between 33 and 36 is my personal record, unintentionally. Hadn't been able to sleep at all one night then had to work all the following evening at a part-time job. Came home and stupidly had an energy drink with dinner. Those things have never made me feel anything so didn't think they really affect me much, and it was some berry flavor, it was pretty good. But then it kept me awake a second night.

I'm not much of a drinker and never been drunk in my life, but the effects of that amount of lack of sleep was probably the nearest I've been to something similar to being drunk. I had to call off a work, there's no way I could have even handled driving. Worried my mother but I was mildly amused. :lol: That next sleep was super really good though, 13 hours straight I think. lol

I don't like them, but they can be useful now and then.

48 hours wasn't planned. I almost did start having hallucinations, yes. Actually, I said on here that I woke up in that period but that was a lie - I hadn't actually slept, I'd just tried to. But I like to pretend I'm a normally functioning individual from time to time so I lied and said I'd been sleeping.

I have incredible stamina (oo-er). I've been awake for 30-50 hours on multiple occasions. I don't drink coffee and rarely drink energy drinks either.

The toughest parts about all-nighters are resisting the temptation of lying on bed at two times of the day:

- Early morning(between 6 and 10 am). Doesn't matter how long you've been up, whether it's been 4 hours or 20. Early morning ALWAYS makes you sleepy.

- Mid-afternoon(From 4pm on). Don't even dare to take a quick nap. You shut your eyes off for about 5 minutes and once you open them... it's 8pm.

[Redeemer]

Worked all day but I have the next two days off :D

I drink coffee, but not energetic drinks. I must be the only person in the world who still hasn't tried Red bull. I need to cut back on coffee, though, since it makes me anxious sometimes. And man, when I pull allnighters, my anxiety gets kinda bad around lunch time. And speaking of that, allnighters make me hungry as hell due to the unbalanced levels of sugar in my blood to keep my body awake. So they end up being the opposite of profit. :lol:

Haha, I get what you're saying son.

You should get into sports - play football, lift weights, whatever. That will allow you to develop a routine, discipline, as well as making you tired enough to sleep at night.

I used to hit the gym a few years ago. Might try to get back to it this year. Although, after a certain point, I just got bored of lifting weights, and had trouble managing my free time once I joined University.

I'm thinking about starting with some weights this year. I need to eat a lot though. I saw some photos from 2011 & my arms were really big. Probably looked bigger because of the angle of the photos but back then I was still significantly more muscular than I am now, since I'm now a scrawny runt.

If we were from the same area we could have been gym buddies. Oh well.

I joined the gym because I'm the opposite. I'm naturally thin. In fact, I come from a long lineage of thin people. Not even when they gotten older have my family members gained weight significantly. It took me like two gym sessions to get biceps. Before that I couldn't carry a grocery bag containing two 1,5L water bottles all the way home from the supermarket. Also, I've gotten fairly visible abs since then. Not a six pack, but if you stand about 5 meter away from me, you'll definitely notice them. Being skinny has that advantage, I suppose. :lol: Also, I'm that dude who has weak chest muscles but strong and wide back muscles. :lol:

I was always scrawny as a boy but about 20 I started filling out until I developed an eating disorder in 06. Got over that and went the opposite way - had noticeable arm size circa 10-12 - not anywhere near wrestler freak big but big for a regular guy in society, really. However, I also had a belly, so some of my arm size was fat and less defined. Sort of like strongman vs bodybuilder type thing.

I've never been the strongest guy in the world either but the bolded is pretty surprising. Three litres really isn't particularly heavy, especially if you use both hands. Abs are certainly a benefit of being slim, they're far easier to sculpt. The thing with me is that I used to be able to eat like a horse and NEVER gain weight, then around 2007 I couldn't lose weight if I tried. But the actual medication that I'm on has a tendency to increase appetite and mass (one of the many concerns I have about taking it all) & I started eating more and using the meds more frequently in 07, so that's probably why.

Well, obviously I could carry a bag with 3 litres of water if I used both hands.

And I have the same problem as you do. I can eat a lot and barely gain weight. I did gain a kilo in the past few days though... must have been that New Year's Eve beer and wine + some ice cream the other day that did it. :lol:

I don't have that problem any more, and neither will you when you're in your thirties :)

We're probably ectomorphs. What I noticed though is that when I went through my stocky/built stage I looked a lot more manly in the face.

Yep, that' the word I was looking for. Although I've had naturally big boned endomorphic dudes telling me they'd rather be ectomorphs as well. Since they can easily become obese if they're not careful and strict with their diet. And since they have quite some body fat, even if they're big and strong, they're slow and have bad cardio and not exactly very defined muscles. That doesn't sound very fun either.

Yeah, I'd rather be too skinny than too fat.

At my very worst, during the anorexia days, I was told sometimes that I looked like a smack addict or a cancer patient. Not nice to hear. My lifestyle naturally ****s my appearance up.

It just goes to show to never judge a book by its cover because even when I did look really terrible I was still articulate and able to construct essays and posts. Compare that to lots of slayers who can barely even speak despite being high-level hunks.

Damn, you went through that?! Sucks... people usually associate anorexia with girls, but it's not really that uncommon for some guys to go through eating disorders as well.

I've never been anorexic, just skinny. I grew up quickly in my transition from 15 to 16 years old, though. One year before I was 1,74m and the next year I was suddenly 1,83m. And I lost some weight with that quick growth. At some point, I weighted 58Kgs only at 1,83m.

Yeah, I developed a fear of choking, so spent a year barely eating. The fear returned 16 months ago so I'm going through it again, but to a lesser extent as I'm nowhere near as skinny as I was then. I was about 84 lb at one stage.

Mate, if I wasn't self-conscious I could show you pictures of me side by side and you wouldn't even know it was the same guy, honestly. Some of those photos look like fvcking mutated versions of my better photos. You seriously wouldn't know it was the same person.

So you're a tall guy then? I'm jealous :lol:

Damn. Well, at least you have recovered. I have not changed much physically, except got a beard + stache and medium-long hair. Too bad I was a 'tard in HS who let his hair grow wildly and didn't bother taking care of it. Thanks to that, my head is already a bit receded on its sides. The life of a metal fan isn't easy lol

Jealous? Well, I seem to have a bit of trouble keeping a correct body posture. My upper back is slightly curved forward, so to speak. And being a bit of an introverted fellow doesn't help either(I look down more than I should). Taller people tend to be more prone to back problems.

What is your idea of tall anyway? being over 180cm? Because if you're, let's say, 1,78m, you're not exactly short either. I feel tall here because we're like the shortest people in Europe lol. in Sweden or the Netherlands I'd feel as a dude of average height. Every time I see a woman taller than me(very rare) she turns out to be a northern european or a dutch tourist.

[TheCanadiandrome]

went to a movie, hung out with friends, had a blast, what could be better?

Yeah, was a hard time but I try not to think about it.

Well, I'm of a differing phenotype to you. You're dark-haired, dark skin Southern European. I'm Northern European with Scandinavian ancestry. With blond hair I could probably pass as Swedish, if I was taller. I'm only 5 foot 7 and the only advantage of that is a low centre of gravity and supreme agility and turning circle when playing football. I wish I could be 6 foot tall but shrink myself to 5 foot 6 every time I play football :lol:

I wouldn't worry about posture etc, You can easily fix that mate.

Dark skinned? The sun blows up my skin. And my brother is even paler, despite having black hair. Do you know that Irish wrestler, Sheamus? He's just a level above him.

The beach sucks anyway. I don't want skin cancer.

[Amaranthus]

Yep. You're only eleven man. You should be enjoying your youth, not worrying about your weight :(

Look at my 10 year-old cousin who weighs 45 kilos.
Being young doesn't mean you can stuff yourself without there being consequences.

[blindturtle02]

My day's been full of anticipation. Can't wait to sit down to watch the latest SW Rebels episode I bought this evening. It's also been cold here but that's nothing new.

[IndigoErth]

First legit snow of the season, fortunately just a light amount. Annoyed at the lack of offerings via that Amazon site I've mentioned previously, so not much money to be made today... again. However my order from Amazon came and finally own that Turtles Visual History book, so happily curled up with that in front of the computer and checking forums, etc intermittently. :)

Also still pleased I actually saved money by getting a second inexpensive item (Nick Turtles buttons reduced price via their "add-on" offer) to bump the cost just over $35, got the free shipping, and had $8 worth of 'gift card' to reduce it further. Like $10 less than it could have been. :tgrin:

[snake]

Okay. I got a lot of homework, but it'll get done.

[ZariusTwo]

I'm pooped. Went to the dentist, and had three fillings in my teeth, prior to that I had to walk past a dog perched right outside the doors. The resulting adrenaline kicked off an anxiety attack that I had to keep in during the procedure and not lose steam over it until I got home

[Jephael]

Watched a really good movie on Netflix earlier. I was supposed to do a job assessment at Panera Bread this morning, though it got postponed on account of the weather.

[Lethal Lullaby]

Great. Up until this:

POCngEpkOLI

Yep. Probably not gonna sleep tonight. >n<

[blindturtle02]

It started out awful. Nah, not really. I just love that scene where LH is describing his day. It's cold here, however. Not bad aside from that.

[IndigoErth]

It's 14°F out. Although the windchill is a little warmer than last night at a balmy 0°F. (Anyone else getting this cold snap or has it as bad or worse...stay warm folks.) And someone decided to play with paint in the basement... that has made the house smell strongly of fumes. Really fun to wake up to that. On a day too cold to open the damn windows and let it out. :x (How much do you think a father pelt is worth on the black market?)

In other news my Leo hat from eBay came so that's a yay. :)

[Amaranthus]

School is still breaking my balls but I'm getting used to the daily routine again.

[DarkFell]

Ah, its going alright. Got some stuff to do for the college concerning my classes for Spring Semester. Otherwise, I'm alright.
