    I'm into coffee not my tarantula, she is into crickets and if you're a cricket within six inches of her, you are having a bad day.

    Fair enough — a tarantula high on caffeine would be even more terrifying.

    Day 6 in Maui, I've never drank so much in my entire life. Surfing in the Pacific and then two drinks and it hits me like a brick. THE PARTY DON'T STOP.

    Did she like the orange?

    My best friend e-mailed me last night. She wants to try to patch things up. I am, of course, all for that. I just hope we can be as close as we were again. Only time will tell on that. But this is a good start.

    Was just watching some of the Golden Globes for some reason (haven't seen any of the stuff that's up for an award), and Julia Louis Dreyfus just got caught plowing a massive hotdog into her face. Perfect camera ambush by Tina Fey and Amy Pohler.

    That was pretty good, but she was in on it the whole time. They had been messing with her about sitting in the movie section and ditching her TV people since the opening. When she was at her movie table she smoked an e-cig and pretended to be too cool to acknowledge Tina and Amy.

    Tina and Amy are a great duo and make things fun to watch. Julia-Louis Dreyfus is still funny and very gorgeous for her age.

    Listening to angry and/or sad songs and albums. As soon as I feel bad and listen to them, it instantly reminds me why I do that, and while I've had other people tell me it gets them stuck in those emotions, doing that actually helps me snap out of them and calm down, sometimes to the extent of cheering me up altogether.

    The very fact that I can use Internet forums like Echoing The Sound and Provider Module to socialize indoors. I've also liked the convenience, as I don't have to leave the house, and how easy it can get to find some common ground around a lot of people in one setting even if I'll most likely never get to meet them into person. It really also is the best way for my social and asocial sides to meet each other halfway, and both Internet forums have reminded me why socializing can be very enjoyable and a great way to relieve stress.

    Even lurking can sometimes be a very cool, entertaining, and even sometimes hilarious experience.

    It's certainly the little things, and thinking and doing the things I like, while just focusing on them are the very things that cause me to love those lovable things about life. It's like every reason for me to get up in the morning. Gratefulness certainly goes a long way.

    I don't know why it was ever such a concern, as I just realized that I never had to worry about being and looking boring or being the odd one out as long as I'm not saying or doing anything that's actually wrong to other people. Becoming apathetic to that has taken a load off and cheered me up in a way. And aside from accepting that I can't and shouldn't please everybody, realizing and accepting that it's sometimes absolutely okay to never ever have anything to offer to others has also helped me feel better, because at the end of the day, I'm really just doing it for me, and at the end of my life, I'm all that I would've ever had.

    That has also made me happier as it has also helped me get more comfortable in my own skin, and oh boy do I ever crave to be as comfortable as I can. I also don't mean this in a completely stuck up, selfish, and rude (Screw everybody!) kind of way either, but sometimes focusing on others too much for all the wrong reasons, like with self, can really bring me down. Letting it out has also lifted me up a bit, and has also helped me find ways to stay out of trouble in silence.

    Getting the move finalized and dude from work and my old landlord connected. Glad to get that behind me. Also got more stuff moved, got my lava lavas from Samoa here now and my clothes. Beginning to feel more settled. Odd going from two years of hermit to living with a small family, but it's good.

    Picked up the complete series of "The Shield" for $45! Insane. That's less than seven bucks a season. Only drawback is it's DVD (the series is not available on Blu-ray, unfortunately) but it's widescreen and looks surprisingly good. I've been watching bits and pieces since I bought the set and I had almost forgotten how unbelievably good this show is.

    I might not watch The Shield, but as a person that loves buying seasons of his favorite TV shows on DVD, that's fucking awesome.

    @marodi - YES! YES! YES! Caffeine + Internet = WIN! WIN! WIN! It really is my pleasure, and little treasure. It's also one of my reasons to live.



    Oh yes, and aside from ETS for having been a lot more friendlier since re-opening in late 2011, just seeing the little acts of forgiveness here and there, and just letting go of past beefs in general was very cool to me, even though I have a hard time trusting and forgiving. I just noticed those things as I've lurked around since 2011.
