Well well.

feeling physically and mentally relaxed. Coming home after work and switching to loose clothes and reading a book as it starts to storm outside is a good example.
>>whats made you happy this week?
Winter Olympics have some good stories and great competition.
>>whats made you sad this week?
Chronic pain and wondering if i can work full time ever.
>>whats made you proud of yourself in the last month?
Apologized to my sister for being a whiny brat when she came over one day. I can be surly from time to time, but I try and rectify that after cooling down, glad i did.
>>what do you do for fun?
Watch football, read, study sciences, play magic and poker, play tabletop games, collect pictures online.
>>whats a comfy or 'simple' sentimental memory you have of a close platonic friend?
No friends.
>>favorite alcoholic beverage for a comfy night
Scotch or whiskey, maybe a long island.

Am I a degenerate for listening to C418's Sweden? It's the only thing that's comfy to me right now.

that is scary not comfy

>what is your personal definition(s) of comfy?
Warm. Happy. Content. Relaxed.
As far as images that make me feel comfy, well for some reason images of Japanese backstreets (you know the type of ones that are only ever used by locals) really just make me feel comfy. So do night shots looking out over LA from the hills. I've never been to LA, hell I'm not even American, but that expanse of lights in the dark really just does it for me for some reason. Also images looking out from big appartment windows over cites. I don't really like living in the city and I hate being crampt up in small rooms, but once again, these types of pics just make me feel comfy.

>whats made you happy this week?
Nothing that I can really think off.
Well I guess cutting my own hair and it turning out alright. I mean I didn't really cut it, I just ran over the sides with an electric shaver because they were getting a bit long. But I didn't fuck it up, so I guess that's good.

>whats made you sad this week?
None of my BrickLink Lego orders have come in yet.

>whats made you proud of yourself in the last month?
I've started to take a more active role in a local charity group I'm involved with. I mean people think I'm one of the more active members because I work pretty hard during a couple of our major events. But outside of that I've never really been super active in things like planning or organisation, but I'm getting more involved with that now and in doing so stepping out of my comfort zone.

TBC

part 2, because I ramble too much.

>what do you do for fun?
Build Lego. Surfer the net.

>whats a comfy or 'simple' sentimental memory you have of a close platonic friend?
I had a friend in highschool. He was one of my best friends.
For his 14th birthday, he had me and a couple of other friends over for the long weekend. As in we'd all go over on the friday after school, and stay until monday afternoon. Somehow he'd gotten permission from his neighbor to use their place. There wasn't much in there anyway, a couch, a fridge and a TV.
We sat up all 3 nights watching shitty movies, playing vidya and talking bullshit.
On the saturday night, they all went to bed at like 2am ish, but I sat up playing Vice City. At some point my friend who's birthday it was woke up and said "Are you still playing?" to which I replied "Yeah, it's only been..." and looked at the time. It was 8am. I could have sworn I had only been driving around for an hour or so.
Later found out he was talking shit behind my back. Needless to say, we're no longer friends. But I still look back warmly on our share youth... except now there's a little pang of sadness.

>favorite alcoholic beverage for a comfy night
Depends on the type of night.
Most of the time either beer (Carlton Draught) or vodka and vanilla coke.
If I want to relax, then I sit back in a hot bath, listen to Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene and drink Baileys.

I use to be comfy.
I wish I could be comfy again.

Let me tell you my story
>When I was like 5, my parents bought a small farm
>This wasn't a case of moving from the city/town on to a farm, we'd always lived on farms, just as renters
>The little house that was there was 3 bedroom
>One for my parents, one for my younger sister and one for me
>That was nice
>A few years later I get another sister
>For the first few years, she lived in my parents room
>When she was 4-5 my family reorganized rooms
>My parents moved out of the largest room, into the smallest room and my sisters moved into what was my parents room
>I just stayed where I was
>This was fine
>Until around the time I was about 15
>My sisters were getting older and starting to fight over things like space
>Even though their bedroom was bigger then the family living room
>Dad has an idea that he comes to me with
>He'll build me my own room, connect to our shed
>It'll have it's own kitchen and bathroom and will be all mine
>He figures he can do it on the cheap by doing a lot of the basic work ourselves
>He'll get friends who are trade qualified to do any of the major stuff like electrical, plumbing and roofing
>Best of all, it will all be legal, because the local council planning laws say that you can build small rooms off of/in sheds if it comes under the roof line
>Our shed had an extended roof out one side for parking vehicles under
>We'll simply "re-roof" that area and build "underneath it"
>Also, there may have been alluded because the people who lived there before us lived in the shed while they were building the house
>Dad and I get to work
>After about 10 months the main structure is done
>The bedroom area is done, but the bathroom and kitchen are just skeletons
>Whatever, I move in as soon as possible
>Youngest sister gets my old room, other sister moves back into what was originally hers and parents move back into master bedroom

>I don't care that I'm not getting my bathroom or kitchen, I just want my dad to get better
>Doctors are all positive dad will beat it
>Quit one of my jobs so that I have more time to spend with dad and helping out

>I'm not working my ass off

>Remember how I said I thought moving in here would save me time and money?
>Turns out I was wrong on both counts

>Eventually come to realize that this is because I don't feel comfortable here
>I mean I feel comfortable in that I'm not physically uncomfortable
>But I'm not comfy

So now I'm starting to make plans to move back home.
I haven't told my mother yet. She's calling in tomorrow, so I'll tell her then. I'm busy for the next couple of months, so I don't think it will be until late april/early may at the earliest.
It's not like I'm really moving back in with her, as she spends most of her time at her new partners place. As far as I'm aware in the last 3 months, she's only spent like 5 nights at home. She calls in most mornings to feed the dogs and chooks, but for the most part the house is just sitting out there unoccupied.

Hopefully I'll move back out there and start to feel better and then get everything set up so that I can feel comfy again.
6/6
