Finally! A new post!

I know! It's been FOREVER!!!!

It's literally the only thing I read!

Land sakes alive, the steak's alive.

It's better than Cats!

You always say that.

Hmmm. Now that I actually read it, it wasn't what I was expecting...

I just now realized this must mean there is a new post on Hyperbole and a Half. I thought it was supposed to be a thread filled with Hyperbole.

This is the most embarrassing day of my life!!

Well that was depressing.

I mean... that was the most depressing thing I have ever read in my life!

Damn. Hope she's okay. Or at least on the upswing. Bummer.

WTF ARE YOU A NINJA HYPERBOLE MARKETING PERSON??

LOL! Yes. Yes I am

I just read it. She is a great writer. I could relate to alot of what she was saying.

I hope she's ok now too.

"But trying to use willpower to overcome the apathetic sort of sadness that accompanies depression is like a person with no arms trying to punch themselves until their hands grow back."

Word.

I remember being in a funk like that - I got to the point where I was just soooo sad and for no reason. I did the same thing as her, comparing myself to people worse off, and I'd be mad that I was still sad.

The thing that ended up sparking me out of it was when I was at my lowest, didn't know where to go to talk to anyone, I looked up a psychiatrist in the phone book. I think I had maybe $200 left in my account, and was looking for a job... (no insurance). So I called this number, and told the lady that I thought I just needed to talk to someone... and she started scheduling an appointment. Then she asked about my insurance, which I hadn't even thought about, and I told her I'd just have to pay. So she told me that the rate was $200 per hour. I told her, "You know... I don't think I'm THAT depressed. Nevermind."

And that right there was enough to make me realize I wasn't $200 worth of depressed, and I need to pick my damn self up and get a job. So I painted every room in my house and rearranged all the furniture and snapped out of it.

It certainly was rough being so sad, though.

Yeah, I had a period like that in high school. it dragged on for waaay too long and by the end there were only about two people who could stand to be around me- or pretend to ( thanks, doc)

Anyway, my parents sent me to a psychologist and I lied through my teeth until she said I was "better". I remember walking out of there with a sense of victory, like I totally put one over on everyone. I stil had my depression, damnit, you can't take that from me!! But... I still had my depression. And it sucked.

And then one day I decided that I was all done being depressed. Just like that. "fuck this, I'm going to be happy". And i was.

And I have been ever since. Not happy every day, but never depressed like that again, and never without reason. For me it was mind over matter. Some people aren't so lucky.

Hope allie's feeling better.

It is the
Epitome
of
Hyperbole

SOMEBODY HADDA SAY IT!!!!!


And I said, "I can do that...."

THE X FACTOR !!!!!!!

Yeah, I've been seeing her artwork all over the place. Hope she's getting something out of it.

love it! my friend posted this on his facebook yesterday with the caption "a typical night for me"

i love double posting lately. i'd blame the technology, but i think it's me.

Had no idea where this meme came from. I'll start following her now.
One of our leads at work made this to describe busy days for us:




Better to be a smart-ass than a dumb-ass.

time for KOOOL to YOUTUBE stuff again ! ....

WHAT is going on with this particular image?

i got to work this morning (the power is still out so a few of us showed up just to clean for 4 hours and get some time in in the cold and the dark). and as we got out of the car, my coworker (to whom i gave the "Clean all the things" t-shirt for xmas last year) shouted out "Clean all the things!!" with a fist in the air.

then i see this on facebook....


i certainly do hope she's getting some profit from her work, but i somehow doubt that it's more than exposure.

Maestra, Maestra, Maestra...always six months behind the rest of the Internet.

X all the things! has been a meme for a while now:

Land sakes alive, the steak's alive.

:P

fine. whatever.

look at this awesome costume.

and shut up.

Land sakes alive, the steak's alive.

Maestra can't keep up with the internets she's busy sleeping with all the room mates!

Appy, you are more interested in Maestra's sex life than even she is.

I am fascinated. What is she doing?! She's throwing away her best years and she's a terrible nail painter!

We need an "Occupy all the things" for Anny in that meme.

LOL I do love my "Occupy The" thing so much.

Ha ha ha...what is she doing? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Land sakes alive, the steak's alive.

Was there a thread about Maestra having sex somewhere? Totally missed that.

Appy should have said "sleeping NEXT TO" instead of "sleeping WITH".

Ah. Better - thanks.

Glad I'm not the only one who read that and thought it was a bummer.

"One and three from the roof, bitches!!!". -Archer

I just put this on my FB page. Thanks for the idea, Squid.

I just wrote out a long post about why I'm not going to discuss my sex life on this bored, which essentially amounted to my explaining the whole situation. Which was the opposite of my intention.

Readers digest version....
1)it's
2) very
3) complicated
4) appy, m.y.o.b.

There you have it.

Oh, and eta: 5) I HAVE NO GODDAMN IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!

Edited again to edit 1) 2) & 3) which still said too much.

OK yeah, but, is it any good?

If it weren't good, it wouldn't be complicated, now, would it?

I'm interested in finding out about the sex lives of bored members.

Or perhaps just hyperbole.

At least three times in the last four years!

Been together 15 years. We average about once a month now. I don't even care anymore. Sad, isn't it?

Squid, that pic Is cuteness overload!

Those kids are so gorgeous
