Well, I doubt you need a degree, but you need to know how computers, programs, games and the human mind works. Its quite a cool field.

I used to have such a low key, nerdy life. Wtf happened?

Also she's probably reading this. Fun times.

twist ending! The person I thought was the crazy person was actually not crazy and the person telling me she was crazy was actually the crazy one.

The jury is still out on if I'm crazy for believing any of this.

This reminded me of the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling.

Fuck me, she's still going - SIX WEEKS LATER AND SHE'S STILL GOING!!!
A whole summer school holiday's worth of verbal diarrhea. I mean, does she actually write this stuff or does it get expelled after a heavy meal or something?

Meanwhile, back on planet 'Sane and Rational'....

I watched that episode this morning with breakfast.

"You've had your fun with the sectioning. There'll be no more sectioning today." is probably one of my top Peep Show quotes.

I love the BoC-ness of that video footage. The song is cool too.

That's great. I recognise the tune, I think it might've been sampled by Madlib or Oh No or some other hippedy hoppidy producer at some point.

Oh wow, that poem really hit the spot. Yeah, I'm feeling that hardcore right now.

This crazy situation had just been going on for so long and it was really taking it's toll on me. I'd been off the sauce for 2 years and I started drinking again and my anxiety was through the roof.

In a weird way finding out the worst case scenario is somehow less painful then staying in the dark any longer, even though in the dark I could still hold onto the illusion that this person really meant it when they said they loved me/needed me/etc and all that crap.

Maybe I'll have a delayed reaction where I'm really upset about it later on, but right now I feel saner than I have in months. I almost can't feel sad about losing someone I loved because now I understand that person isn't even real. I got totally keyser sozed haha.

Weird unintended fallout from the tomorrow's harvest campaign haha. Who would have guessed.

Thank you :) I studied Fine Art and Curation. I graduated in a 11th century cathedral and the organist was receiving an honorary doctorate for his services to music, found out he performed some of Olivier Messiaen's music in front of the composer himself, so cool!
