Today I stayed on my laptop all the time. Nothing more.
That's what you get when you have a lot of free time and nothing to do for all the day.

edit: -snip- wow holy ♥♥♥♥ this was a massive wall of textYesterday I spent somewhere between four and six hours watching Steven Universe because ♥♥♥♥ things like that get addicting when you have nothing else to do. Also, I was sick of dealing with people's ♥♥♥♥, so I mean what better drug-free way to escape reality than marathon a series? Just kidding, SU is actually drugs, so my marathon wasn't drug-free (get it, because addiction? Please excuse my funniest member instincts). Anyway so then later that night when I couldn't sleep and still had nothing else to do, I started browsing /r/no_cry_challenge and /r/makemecry (which are both awful subs and please never visit them ;-; ) until like 2am, at which point I still wasn't tired so I read until I fell asleep which I assume was somewhere around 3. Then I woke up just after 6am, showered, ate breakfast, had morning coffee for the first time in like a month (feels so good), got some things and stuff packed up that I would need to bring to my mom's house because divorce agreement stuff, and finally at like 7:40 (my ride was 10 minutes late showing up) set off for my last driver's ed class, during most of which I was just IRCing. We discussed emergency situations for a while and watched some really poorly made videos from the Canadian Department of Transportation (???). Once that "lesson" was over around 9:10, a second "lesson" about organ donation began and basically we were just pressured into deciding that we're all going to consent to being organ donors if we ever need to be. Or something like that. So that was fun. Ended around maybe 9:40. And then my ride was ten minutes late AGAIN. Like, come on. Then I played tennis for like two hours with a friend in which I discovered that over the course of a week of not doing anything my skills improved twentyfold. When we played an actual match, I still lost 2-6, 4-6, but that's a massive accomplishment for me because I normally win like a maximum of one game, so I was kind of proud of that I guess, and also he's a varsity player and I was like bottom of jv last year, so it even (pleasantly) surprised him. There was middle school summer school going on at the time during which streams of small children kept appearing everywhere, too. *shivers* The weather was okay today. This morning it was around 70 freedom units or so and raining, but then the rain went away and the sun came out and my salt levels exceeded maximum because I thought today was going to be rainy and cool. Anyway, it was around 80 or so until the wind started picking up and clouds were coming back, which were both very welcome after two hours of intents running around hitting things that were flying at me. It dropped to around (fine I'll use normal degrees) 16 by noon, which was when I my ride was supposed to get me, but guess what happens? Ten minutes late ♥♥♥♥. So during that time we were mostly just sitting around eating cheap snack food like those peanut butter sandwich crackers and stuff. Then I got back home and showered and ate lunch and stuff, then I read for a while, then hopped on IRC to converse with runouwpals. That and youtube have been pretty much all I've been up to since around 2. Also, my phone has been at 1% battery since 2:15 today and it's nearly 6pm and it's still on. Pretty spooky stuff, I know. Thanks, Apple. So anyway I don't really know what to do with the rest of my day. I'll probably go find a charger for my phone at some point, and then read and maybe work on physics because algebra-based ap physics is ez ap physics. I sh/could probably also be working on this other dumb summer assignment for ap us history which requires students to memorize all US presidencies in order as well as like thirty different terms related to united states history, but rote memorization isn't really my thing, so I'll probably do that in August or something. Also I don't actually know why I signed up for that class, because social studies/history is probably the subject I care least about, plus the class supposedly consists almost entirely of writing essays. Also, yeah, I worry about whether I signed up for the right classes or not way too much as well, and it's something that's on my mind like 24/7 for some reason. But I've been succeeding more and more lately in getting my mind off of stupid things like that, so I guess that's good.

Welp my laptop is at 2% battery and my phone still hasn't died (literaturealy wat), so I guess I'm going to have to go do something about that now. Have fun reading OJ's massive disorganized wall of text with not even an attempt to make it more coherent, syntactical, or visually appealing.

Same with me. Some days ago I've thought I would get well soon but I've got angina. After starting an antibiosis it should get better, I hope. And I WILL finish my ♥♥♥♥ LL level even if it's a miniature.

Also I know your situation, Christian. In this case I usually grab a book or a sport journal or whatever I like to read, or listen to music etc., to have a small break. Except if I have to do some level designing. 8)

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Re: How was your day?

Recently I've developed a habit of wanting to throw up as soon as I eat anything, resulting in me not eating breakfast, lunch or dinner. I've eaten less in the past 3 days than I would in 1 day, so that's not good.

Also, I've had at least 1 exam every day so far this week. If I have to do any more I'm going to ram my head into a wall.

Maybe you need more fresh air Karyete...?

I dunno, but after getting some fresh air I tend to eat food more comfortably.

Is the throwing up a compulsion you feel you have to do, or do you physically feel sick?
If you physically feel sick, see a doctor, they're the professionals.
If it's a compulsion or urge to be sick, but you don't actually feel sick, then I advise you to talk a bit more about it and try to push past this feeling. Having suffered with an eating disorder for multiple years and still do, this is how my illness began. Just ate breakfast one day and thought I was going to be sick. It's just not worth the pain and damage it's caused.

Hope you feel better soon. :)

I tend to get outdoors a fair bit, so I don't think that's the issue. Thank you for the advice nonetheless. c:

I feel physically sick, and it tends to happen a little while after I eat anything. I'm worrying because it's never happened before and it's thrown my diet out the window.
