I'm sure Seiki is fine. It's a long running joke.

Yes, he's perfectly fine. :yes:

-knocks on wood-

If he's not, I can recommend a perfectly splendid ENT doctor who's moving from UPenn to Arizona... :ninja: ;)

No idea. Seiki hasn't posted since last Friday.

I gave mine in early Monday, so don't blame me please. :gonk:

It's college move-in week. :ninja: My mind is beyond perplexed and stressed, and that week-long vacation I took wasn't long enough. :cry:

I blame Cami. :lol:

*ropes anyway because it's more fun that way* :ninja: Well, I'm actually female irl but also happily married. lol. *back in character* *TARDIS lands* There is great evil on this strange planet...I think it's called Facade. :P

;)

I'm guessing we're probably not having a challenge this week then >3>;;

I hope Seiki is okay :(

Why do people think Cora is suicidal?

*worries about Seiki* Does he(?) disappear like this often?

No, everything is fine, really. It's been a really busy couple of days with work. We had an employee quit on us without notice so I've been working extra hours to make up for lack of help at our store. Today and tomorrow are my only days off this week, which is fine if I weren't working 11-12 hour shifts every day and then coming home and having other stuff to do with the family. I'm sorry I haven't really been online to fill any of you in.

By the way, I got my new phone yesterday (iPhone 4 <333333) and I was wondering if anyone had any good iPhone/iPod touch apps that they would like to recommend for me?

And by the way, if you have Words For Friends on your iPhone/iPod touch, please tell me your username so I can play with you! Mine is heydarrell if you do have it. Feel free to challenge me (srsly).

So I'm going to try and have the scores up tomorrow night sometime. I have kind of a busy schedule tomorrow (oil change, meeting up with friends one last time before they all leave me for school, grocery shopping, laundry, etc), so it might be a little later.

Yay! Welcome back Seiki! Glad you're not dead. ^_^ Now I can go back to stalking the contest.

@Doctor- Hehe, I figured. Just bein' in-character. ;D
Facade? Hmm, sounds like the name of a scary pervy guy! D: What do we do about him?

@Seiki - I don't have an iPhone, but Insomniac was excited about this ap:
Sleep Cycle alarm clock

I have it bookmarked in case I ever get an iPhone. :p


PS: I am glad you are not really dead.

@CK- Oh my goodness, that looks amazing! I want an iPhone now, just for that. :drool:

Looks like an interesting app, but I don't think it would work for me. I don't really sleep much anyways. I wake up almost every hour like clockwork on my own as it is.

I did that, I hope it works o.0

I'll protect you from cami.....and lemon brain over there.

Well I was trying really hard for this promotion at work and the people that mattered didn't seem to even notice reguardless of the fact that everyone else says I'm the best for the job....it should have been a shoe in and yet I wasn't even considered. Well I vented a little on facebook and I ended my rant with "why do I even bother anymore.....whats the point" and what I meant was...."why do I keep trying so damn hard it only causes me stress and frustration." but now at LEAST 4 people (I dont know who started it) took it to mean....."why do I bother living anymore" and now think I'm suicidal.........

I'm glad your ok seiki ^.^
I figured it might be your work, you seem tired a lot lately. I hope you find time to rest soon. Take your time with the scores, we can wait. Your health is more important.

Interesting fact that Time Magazine just taught me. Men are more likely to succeed at committing suicide than women.

It's because our mood swings are less severe, so if we're feeling ready to shoot ourselves, we do it. :roll: We don't change our mind five minutes later, run over to mommy's house, cry for hours, and become nuns by morning. :talk2hand:

Women make more attempts; men are more successful (so they don't have to make as many attempts >3>). Men also tend to use more sure-fire methods than women, in general.

Seiki has awoken from his work coma! Hooray!

Since y'all asked me for updates on my job, I guess I'll say that I'm meeting with my boss today to do hire paperwork and stuff. He happens to be friends with my fiance so we'll probably spend an hour or so ragging on him xD

I'm really excited. I hope I do lots and lots of costume work. I only know the basics of my own sewing machine, so I'm prepared to learn a lot so that I can do things like sew button holes with my machine 8D

Hmm....feed him jellybabies until he starts being sweet? lol I don't think I have that many. O_o'

Oh, I see. Silly people. I know how that sort of work situation goes. I was in a similar place with my last job. I was a better choice for a managerial position, but I wasn't even in the running and they put someone flaky in the job instead. After that I pretty much let go of the idea of getting a promotion there. Stupid bosses didn't know what they were missing out on and I wasn't going to stress out over it. I had better things to do with my time. :P *huggles Cora*

I'm too focused on thinking positive to be mistaken for suicidal. I used to be really negative. I was depressed and had severe anxiety attacks, but my husband is bipolar and my father-in-law (who we lived with at the time) suffers from clinical depression. Someone in the house has to stay positive no matter how bad things get or suicide could become a very real threat. I'm sort of stuck with the job of morale officer. lol. On the plus side, I hardly ever have panic attacks anymore since I started trying to look at things more optimistically. ^_^

I recommend you try to find the silver lining in situations and don't worry too much about what people think. It isn't always easy but it's much more rewarding than giving up. If your attitude changes, the people worrying about you should realize you were just having a bad time. At least they care enough to be concerned. ^_^ Hope that helps. *hugs* ^_^

I think I read somewhere that men tend to use more violent (an as such successful) methods of killing themselves, like shooting themselves in the head. Women are more likely to try something like pills that they're far more likely to be saved from.

In other news, I was trying to look it up to confirm, and found this:

More women attempt suicide than men, but more men are successful in carrying it out? - Yahoo!7 Answers

What. The. Hell.

That's a prime example of really dumb people finding each other through the magic of the internet. O_o'

Welcome to all of the internet.

Except for a few good pockets.

Like here.

lol, Mene is the best place on the interwebs! *huggles mene* I wubbs it here!!

Silly part of that is, is that I usually am the optimistic one.....they are now thoroughly convinced that I'm only being optimistic in order to hide my true inner suffering....stupid people.
