With the passing of the Affordable Care Act, I've lost what little respect and hope I had for the U.S.A. I need to start figuring out what country I want to move to.
I don't know why, but appearance is more important to me than it used to be when it comes to being attracted to somebody. It's always been that the better looking a person is, the better, but being good looking was only ever a plus to me. These days, there are women I once would have dated that I wouldn't now because they don't appeal to me aesthetically. I would have looked beyond that before. I can't say for sure what has caused the change, but I know it happened slow but surely over the last 2 years.
It amuses me a little that I have to get two people who aren't my relatives to write references for me so I can get this scholarship. It's the part where they can't be related to me that amuses me. I mean... Really? What difference does it make if it's my brother or my best friend? I should ask them. I'd really like to understand the relevance of that requirement.
I believe that the core of who a person is, their personality, is something they're born with. It's a person's basic nature. Over time, experiences add to it, but that doesn't change who they truly are. Even if you strip a person of those experiences, they will still be the same basic person.
Considering that my left knee is the one that's messed up, I find it interesting that I have better balance standing on my left leg than my right.
Sometimes, I get a headache centered around my eyes when I'm too hungry/malnourished. I just discovered that going to sleep will get rid of the headache if I'm unable to satisfy my nutritional needs.
I've been feeling pretty good the last couple of days. I really like my new job so far, and I've been enjoying my time alone. That's not to say I'm any more thrilled with spending so much time alone, but... I don't know, I'm less bothered by it I guess. I've been playing PWI and watching stuff online a lot. When I actually stop and think about it, it is a little depressing, but I'm happy as long as I don't think about it. ha ha
*sigh* I've been stood up. It's very frustrating, and it depresses me.
I've been talking to this girl who wants to be my 24/7 live-in slave. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested. I decided to have her come over tonight and see how things go. If it goes well, I'll probably let her move in. I could certainly use the company, and it would make life easier. Plus, who knows what might come of it?
I keep flip-flopping back and forth between miserable/depressed and content/happy. I'm not talking about bi-polar mood swings either, it's every 20 minutes or so. The miserable/depressed half is losing intensity each time. It's weird.

Sounds like high cycling.
I don't know what that means.
I see a lot of girls on dating sites post pictures of theirselves surrounded by a couple of their friends who are a lot more attractive than they are. It's stupid. Don't get me wrong, I'm not overly hung up on looks, but your pic is often your first impression on a dating site. That's a lot like turning in an application for a job and putting, "I'm a hard worker, but my friend X that's looking for a job is a harder worker."
I feel like I'm trapped between one point of my life and another. I'm very tired of struggling, and I'm very tired of being alone while I do it. I mean, I'm not entirely alone. Having a friend who's there for me when I'm struggling is great and all, but it's just not the same.
Sometimes, I really wish somebody would be dumb enough to push me to the point where I lose control and just beat the living shit out of them.

That's because the government here doesn't work for the citizens, and it doesn't work toward the greater good. For cryin' out loud, the president has a $400,000 per year salary while a large chunk of our population can barely afford to eat. Plus, he has a tax-free $50,000 expense account for personal use. U.S. officials work for themselves and their bank accounts.
