Contact
I was in my psych class and this girl next to me moved her arm and smacked it right into my arm, accidentally.
She said sorry and I laughed.
We never made contact again.
My PTSD Checklist →
It’s been a little over a month since my incident, and I’ve been able to document my PTSD symptoms in real-time (psychology major). Here is my PTSD checklist, and by the looks of it everything here is within norms and consistent with those others who have experienced PTSD.
They say at the 6th month mark all I will feel is shame. I’m not really sure what that’s supposed to...

Me: My room is impenetrable to sound and light.

Valet
I’ve instructed my friend to punch me any time I even think about getting a job ever again. It’s already working wonderfully, as just today he stopped me from proclaiming how awesome it would be to be a valet.
Never.
Every semester I say I’m not going to buy any textbooks, I never use them anyway
Every semester I spend 600 dollars on text books
In no semester have I ever needed to open one of my textbooks

I had to save two goldfish’s lives. And by ‘save their lives’ I mean treat them for minor bacterial infections which, left untreated, would lead to their deaths. Still, it was pretty cool.

This week is my last week of work, I only have two days left,...

Barnes & Noble could work out deals with publishers to create limited run versions of the temporary covers for upcoming bestsellers. And they could sell those versions for the same price as the physical hardcover copy, and in this way bypass the wait period that publishers want for ebooks (Hardcover > Ebook > Paperback). These limited run editions could only be purchased in-store.

Someone forward this idea to the Barnes & Noble...
I walked into a BN the other day to further try out the Nook’s wireless and remarked to one of my friends how a few weeks ago several of my co-workers kept asking me if I had done all my Christmas shopping done. And how that question had blown my mind, because the idea of walking into a store and picking out something to buy is antiquated and foreign to me. I had done all my shopping online...
Pocket Monsters
I bought a used Game Boy Advance SP and started playing Pokemon (blue), like a mad man. I don’t know why. I played it as a child, but I never really got into the whole Pokemon culture. Now that I play it as a fully grow man-child, it really is a fun and amazing game. The only problem is that I cannot stop playing it. I’ve played it about 24 hours (cumulative) in the last 72. I play it...
Only two more days of work left.
My first orders of business include (in no particular order)
Never leave my house ever again.
Let my finger and toe nails grow until they start curling around.
Eat enough Wing Stop and SPAM to ensure that the fire department has to. break down a wall of my house to get my 4,000lb body out of it.
Switch to an extremely low calorie diet so that as I age, medical science will keep me alive until...
