Subject: What i can find on this forum ? I new here
Hey people. Best canadina pharmacy here:
http://tituv.forum5.com/

This is the second random comment I have recieved on this particular posting, the last one i recieved was in pure russian and had nothing to do with the content of the post. I know that 6Apart is working with a russian company but i dont get it. Is anyone else getting random postings from russian accounts?

Because I have to move out of my Apt by Saturday (and I have work) I have to have my Internets turned off by tomorrow. I wont be on AIM until I get back to Coplay on either Saturday night or Sunday (depends on whether I drive directly from work or not). I am not dead, just going to be cut off for a bit. TTFN! :3

LOL, so much for regular postings ^^;

So one of my goals for my final year of school is to develop a self management system that can be used for both my personal and "work" needs. I swear to god I think I have been brainwashed by what I have been taught in school about the need for balance b/c I need to find a system that allows me to do all of this:

• Going and working at the Clinic (post coming explaining this)
  
• Working on my thesis (also a post coming on this
• Keeping my living space fit for human habitation
• Blogging *blushes at lapse*
• WOW (Need to at least get to 70 before Lich King drops)
• CoH (paid 40 bucks for a sub, better put it to good use)

I feel like I am developing OCD from all the research I have done so far on various time management and personal management systems that are available. Warning you all now, this will probably be a recurring post theme as I try to remind myself of what I have tried so far :P. This seems to be the overall  problems that I have found with the concept of time management.

• They say that one must prioritize their tasks into what is most important, well what constitutes important? Gaming is important to me, should that go on the list?
• Step one in most programs, eliminate everything that distracts you from your goals. Again, both my thesis and gaming are important to me, so should i stop gaming in favor of my thesis? Also, ok, enjoy your ulcer that you develop when you eliminate any FUN out of your routine b/c you want to up your productivity by .5% All work and No play, you know the rest.
• Break things up into Chunks of time: Well that is fine and good with some tasks (cleaning, blogging), but everything else, well that is sort of annoying, I mean how pissed would my guild get if I said  "ok guys, I have spent my allocated 30 minutes time on WOW, ill be back tomorrow!" its takes 20 minutes just to do "housekeeping" (checking AH, mail, traveling from the Inn to where you were), that will get annoying fast. Also, in the clinic, you cant just break things up into chunks, you MUST do things to their completion or either something gets missed.
  
• Finally, something that isnt brought up in most of what I read so far, ok you got your routine down to a science, what are you supposed to do the rest of the time?

After my preliminary search I have found 2 systems that seem to show the most promise (or at least dont make me feel like a damn robot) and can be used for both home and school/work.  The one is FlyLady and the other is mostly a patchwork of the tips found on ZenHabits Though they say both can be done in both places I think that Flylady is better suited for the home and I can attempt to use ZenHabits in the clinic.

Now these systems both have their idiosyncacys that are useful and very annoying, to save you the terrible web design of  the Flylady site I'll just write some of the principles here (prepare for lolz)

- The reason that you live in sqaulor and have done nothing to change your situation is b/c
    A. you are afraid of failure by not meeting the expectations of the "perfect housewife"
    B. (this one gets me) You have an "inner brat" that makes your efforts self defeating.
  Ok, on B. This lady better realize how much of a mistake she makes by removing personal responsibility like this. By putting blame on a invisible entity (this inner brat) you are not holding them accountable for their actions (living in terrible, some bordering on squalid, conditions). Seriously if you read some of the stories people write in you wonder how much crap is in their house before they started, or how disorganized these people are (or have become). The author of this site is correct in saying that there is no excuse for such conditions, but she should'nt say its a inner voice.

- It doesnt have to be perfect, as long as it is done.
    Im split on this one, while I understand that being Martha Stuart is not a realistic expectation, I personally dont believe in half-assing a job either.

- Anything can be done in 15 minutes
This is very true, and actually I agree with, breaking things up into these little segments can make a task more manageable, however, this is very unrealistic when working in a clinical setting (when a assessment can run 45minutes or longer). I will say that using such a method will be good to use on someone who may either have problems with endurance or low self esteem (prevents being overwhelmed).

- Step one in the program: Keep the Sink Shining

I must apologize, but if you feel you must validate your worth based on how SHINY the SINK is, you have some deeper underlying issues of self esteem. Course at the same time using housework quality as a measure of your worth is also unhealthy to me, but which is the lesser of two evils?

I had more to say about this system, but Im drawing a blank at the moment. Watch out for more posts about this system as I post up and mock some of the 5000 emails I get a day from this site (seriously, its alot)

Now before I get comments about "why the hell are you using it then?" Ill tell you why I have chosen it. Basically, my issue is not lack of motivation to keep a clean house, its because I simply dont think to do it until I HAVE to. I used to let things pile up until the last minute b/c I was spending time gaming or doing school work and didnt want to "waste time". Also I use it as a Preventative measure, by establishing these habits NOW, when im still in a semi-structured environment, they will be fully implemented and established when I FINALLY get to leave the nest. My mom was never diligent about keeping things neat or establishing that with my sister and I.

I am getting tired, so Ill talk about the Zenhabit blog another day when I have delved more into it.

To everyone that has been affected by Strikethrough 07 my apolgies for your blockout and I hope you get back in soon

To the Fandoms- Your unity in supporting your fallen commrades are commendable and restore my faith in the interwebs.

To LJ- *black mamma Slap to head* NEXT TIME READ THE DAMN PROFILES BEFORE SWINGING THE BANHAMMER AROUND!!!

and to WFL or whatever your name is- DIAMFF you fucking fundie Nazis! (TRY AND BAN ME NOW!) LRN2Parent and dont let your damn kids on LJ!!!

Wow, it has been awhile.

Looking at my last entry, it has been 55 weeks since my last entry (and a rather crappy last entry at that). I have noticed in my time surfing this so called "blogoshpere" (in before term was coined ^^) that most writers have an initial outburst of entries, with postings once a day with great detail, then as time progresses the entries become fewer and far between with only terse, sometimes cryptic entries. There is always reasons for this, either the person forgets, gets exposed and is forced to privatize their journal to keep trolls and assholes out, or simply they find blogging isnt for them and move on to facebook or myspace.

My excuse to the class: Time, and the ever present drama.

I have been busy the past year trying to keep my head above water while trying to complete my degree, I graduated 2 weeks ago with my BS in Science (which truely is a bunch of BS since it cant be used for anything). and I (hopefully) can start clinicals next fall (more on that to come). In the past year (well year and a half) there have been a series of unfortunate and dramatic events (Best of times, worst of times, blah blah blah).

But enough about that, why rehash what you cant change? To bring the last year into a sense of closure, let me say that I hope everything can be put behind us and that we can move on with little if any consequences (you know who you all are). Now who is being cryptic, lol.

Now, before the comments about TL:DR, what is the point of this diatribe? Nothing more then a public annoucement that I plan on posting again on LJ. My ultimate reasons are pathetic really, so I will say its mainly for shits and giggles. Now I cant promise much like daily entries (seriously, my life isnt that interesting enough to warrent that) or in depth details. My Blog, my rules, Deal :P If I feel like having long rambly entries, I will. If I want several short shady entries, I will. My name isnt lonelygirl, I dont have a fanbase (that I am aware of >.>), so no expectations. My posts over time will likely show what I have been doing during my absence, and if you are really dying for any backstory, comment in this entry or in any other of my future postings and ill elaborate a bit.

Questions? Yes/No?

From Yahoo.com:

"New York" magazine, in a recent feature on the hysteria surrounding the Pitt-Jolie pregnancy, said their baby would be more sought-after than that of Cruise and Holmes -- themselves the subject of an intense media hunt before the announcement out of Los Angeles of their daughter's birth on Tuesday.

"Not since Jesus has a baby been so eagerly anticipated," said the magazine, which quoted a gossip insider as speculating the child "could be the most beautiful baby in the world."

I had a longer and very good rant here but Lj was hungry and ATE IT! So I will give the 5-cent Version

Hmmmm, Jesus or Stupid shiny spermloaf *weighs the two*, BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! *smites* and just b/c people suck at life and think that THIS is teh most important thing to worry about right now, I hope the baby turns out to be ugly and introverted just to show you people how lame and sad you really are thinking that he/she/it is some goddamn messiah. *stomps off*

*stomps back* and I SWEAR TO GOD, if they give it some Ultra gheyass name, there will be blood.*leaves*

Humanity fails me once again

Go to the google search engine and type in your name with 'needs' after
it.
ex: "John needs" and write down the first line of the description of
the first website that appears, (it should say something like: "John
needs a shave"). Make sure that you put your name and needs in quotation
marks though! Copy and paste this message. At the bottom of this list
type in that description, but put the number before it.


1. Jaime needs the swim of her life
2. Trish needs to always be in control of the situation and her men,
3. jenn needs to go find mike or something and stop "falling in love"
every 2 seconds
4. Jenn needs to get past her handcuff thing
5. SHANNON NEEDS HELP SHE CANT CONTROL HERSELF AND SHE NEEDS TO STOP
HUMPING HER PARENTS (Oh man, that's a winner XD)
Mine:
6. Justine needs to look up information about reptiles for a report

Why do I always get the lame ones!!!! ;^^;

Any one mind telling me how in the hell can one see a shadow on a completely overcast day? Its been a while since I have taken a science class but i do believe the equation goes

Object + LIGHT!!!! / blocking of light= Shadow squared

A cookie for anyone who can explain this

The worst part is that my sister gave me the book for Christmas so im stuck reading it.
( PWNED! )

Just wait you lying asshole, for you will feel my wrath of compulsatory reading doom

In about an hour I'll be heading off to Fort Benning, GA for the weekend. Im going with about 20 other people to protest the existance of the School of the Americas, a type of military school for Latin Americans thats CLAIMS to teach how soldiers to protect democracy in latin and south america, but in reality they teach torture and terrorist techniques that the "students" end up using on innocent people in their home countries. According to Dr. Morales the situation could get hairy so im hoping we get through the weekend with no troubles.

Anyway, Ill be staying At Heritage Inns of America in Columbus, GA (dont know the room yet), we will most likely be spending all our time in and around the base and at other activities.Ill have my cell on me (oh dont be so surprised)in case something happens.

Ill be back to school early Monday morning. Til then educate youselves a little Here.


GOOD LUCK WRED WITH BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!!!

So i guess AIM decided to put shopping bots inside everyones buddylists. This is what i did to show just how unfeeling those bastards are

( Better than Research Methods )

We have a death wish

Hey terrorists! Pay attention in case you missed it. KILLER virus! being sent by FEDEX!!!

I dont care what theyre fucking looking for by researching this. You cant send perishable food through the mail, you damn sure should not be allowed to send Biohazardous+1000000 materials through the common post. you need like a big ass tank thing like they use for bomb squads with dudes in gear and robots.

They better clean that damn truck before they send me anything.

You know, its good to know that the media cares about important things like the health of our professional athletes. I get so annoyed when they talk about such trival things such as the Alito nomination or the Asian bird flu that may or may not kill millions. But now i can go to sleep at night knowing that my local football team can have a shot at the Super bowl so they can bring shallow glory and honor to a city that rather invest in a stadium than on infrastructure.


But hey could just be me ;)

Ok, I think it is time to make a formal statement about the whole Chris/Erika and me situation...

WHEREAS in the matter of the exact nature of what could of cause Chris to dump me is best describe as thus. The matte rbetween them is of a sexual nature as a self compensation for my lack thereof. Therefore it has come to pass that the breakup was due to my failure to perform something he wanted.

WHEREAS I am aware of my low libido and non-interest for sex or anything of the realm of Physical love (sans hugs, sans kissing <my fault>, sans sleeping together of cuddling). I am lead to believe that his desire and their bond is beyond my control, lest furthering the resentment they have towards my presense.

WHEREAS the origins of their relationship is based on simple matter of being in close quarters and the nature of their work. Not to mention the higher quality of their mutual tastes in music, scenes, etc.  Again something that is beyond my control due to simple inaccesability to such things.

WHEREAS the best way to handle this debacle is to simply view anything they express for each is only at a superficial level and that it is simply hormones at work here.

WHEREAS to assist in this relieving this tension the following actions need to be taken:

      - I will learn to accept that Chris is simply not coming back, that he was crystal clear that night about how he felt for me             and we will never go beyond a platonic friendship. Minus some cataclysmic situation. His happiness is my highest priority         in all this  despite what negative feeling i will experience

      - I will realize that it is of Erikas nature to not form the rigid boundries that i form and that he simply wasnt comfortable             with me to do the things she does.
     
      - When i see the two of them holding hands, sitting in each others laps, kissing lips, and/or groping i will simply remember         this  resolution and just deal with it as is.

      - I will continue to have meals with him on the sheer grounds of wanting the pleasure of his company and to show a sign             of good faith
  
       And finally, i will respect their need for privacy and want for intimacy by only coming up to the station if one of the following situations happen:

             A. I am invited by them to do work for the station

             B. There are other people present besides them

             C. if only one or the other are up in the station. In the case of the other showing up i will evaluate the present                               situation  before deciding to leave.

I am mindful that others are concerned about how i feel about all this and like to declare that while appreciative of the support, i ask that the further discussion of the matter be dropped seeing that the issue has become moot. Anything that continues at this point and time is a matter between Erika, Chris and myself. Do not blame them for this. I want for us to be friends and to put this awkwardness behind us.

Thank you
  

As much as i (consciously) want to take everything about this situation in stride the subconscious seems to be even more irrate. My playlist for the station was over 6 hours that ended up being songs on betrayal and self doubt, the perfect soundtrack for this whole piece of shit situation.

Didnt help that they were sleeping on the couch either.

Edit: Music is trying to destroy me...
