I went to bed 3 hours ago and I'm just laying awake 

Got to get up for work in 5 and a half hours

3rd time this week

 

Anyone got any tricks for insomnia? Haha

Porn and weed don't QUITE work for me but come close? 

 

I usually put something like a speedrun on my phone and semi-pay attention to its audio (no video) to kinda stop thoughts racing and that sometimes helps

ok so for the past couple of years I have been living with my mom while I went to school full time. Im still going to school full time and I currently don't work. 

 

On sunday, my mom calls me from work and tells me im on my own next month. At first im a bit devastated; just the day before we were talking about thanksgiving plans and nothing seemed wrong. I look at the date and realize next month's rent is due in a week give a take a few days. I didn't question it or get angry at her, I just said "ok" and she hung up. My friends take me out to cheer me up and one of my friends got me hyped for a warehouse job that was guaranteed to hire since people quit constantly there. 

 

On monday, I woke up and applied for jobs like a madman hitting up every restaurant in my immediate area. Asked more friends if they knew anyone that was hiring, etc etc. My friend didn't give me the phone number for the warehouse job when we talked about it, and I didnt get the number till last night. 

 

Woke up today, called the place and they said I can come in and then we can talk about it. I hop in to my car, THE GREATEST CAR IN THE FUCKING WORLD, and it wont move. I call back, explain the situation and apologized. Im devastated at this point, and I just spend the rest of the day looking for more job leads online that are within walking distance. I apply to a few but for the most part shit is looking bleak right now. I couldnt bring myself to leave the house and i had a breakdown earlier today. Right now im looking back on my day and I feel like shit since I haven't been productive at all. 

 

Right now im trying to make a plan for next week, but today just made me feel like total shit. I have enough to last me a month maybe two, but im terrified.  

 

Hard to believe this was 4 years ago, it feels like 4 months. I went from being a scared and desperate college dropout, sleeping on a couch to college graduate starting grad school next week and looking to buy my first house. Another dude here on Dgz gave me words of encouragement and damn that meant everything at the time cause it felt like everyone i knew irl was calling me a fucking loser. @lo fi thank you. 

 

Never let go of the dream guys.

good to hear man

 

 

 

meanwhile i had another night of recurring dreams of a girl who let me feel her up and watch anime every week but wouldn't let it go further and I took a job five hours away partly to get away from six months ago

 

weeeee

 

[Faint 5946]

I went back to work today and honestly I achieved absolutely nothing all day :')

[+rei+]

PTCGO is what made me want to get back into IRL - getting cards takes too long in PTCGO and my wrists are still fucked so it hurts a lot to play vs moving cards around IRL is way easier. 

I have 3 card shops near me with sanctioned events though I think one is predominantly french not sure if I'll go there or not. Deck (or rather the 45 singles I bought on top of the stuff i bought irl) is in the mail still so haven't playtested it against real people much yet, but I know i'm in. 

 

Main thought is holy shit this game is cheaper than yugioh. Some money cards exist for sure though the most expensive card in my deck is like $14. (not counting the full art lillie i pulled which is like $90) 

 

here's a site that tracks US prices of decks with tcgplayer

(limitlesstcg is better for actual meta tracking tho)

Yeah, Pokémon is cheap. The format has staples which can be pricier (shaymin ex the last time I played), but those go in literally every deck you play for 2 years or w/e.

Yeah I've heard it's cheap. Are the people who say the power creep is insane being fair? I'm one of those sad cases that plays only ygo
