Poll of the Day > I did nothing of grave importance today.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It makes me realize how empty my life is. I don't really have any hobbies. I've no projects to work on, aside from the obligatory ones. I just recently finished drafting the scenario for a fan-fiction piece I'm planning to write, once I've proofread the scenario. I'm wondering if the sudden dearth of tasks to work on is part of the reason I'm feeling so stagnant today. I don't really have anything that is of grave importance to me, in particular. I have thought about redoing my senior seminar project that I worked on over three years ago. But then I think to myself, "Who's going to see it? Who cares at this point?" Pondering such questions kills my motivation for continuing to pursue that particular figurative train of thought. Not to mention that I scarcely have the energy to do much, these days. I can't get much sleep anymore, on account of reasons I prefer not to share oon a public forum. I find social interaction to be very tiresome, honestly. I don't mean any disrespect to the people with whom I must converse on a day-to-day basis. But it's just incredibly difficult for me to listen to them properly. It is one of the reasons why I am afraid of them hating me. It's just difficult to take interest in anything, these days. Everything's just background noise to me. I've been feeling more and more nihilistic in my isolation. Sure, ever since I moved out of my parents' house, I have been enjoying life more to some degree. But I "enjoy" it only in the respect that I need not deal with them anymore. I have taken some interest in philology and grammar studies as of late. But I've not taken to studying the subjects very seriously, only occasionally dabbling in books on them. In any case, I've only drafted instructions on my obligatory projects, prepared meals for myself, tried to nap for a bit, filled out some rental applications in preparation for the new year, mindlessly lurked around Discord in search of social interaction, then gone for a short walk without social interaction of any sort. It was upon recognizing what little I've done today, that I realized how bereft of substance my life is. I feared going outside because I wasn't a fan of the idea of being in traffic with the residual Thanksgiving shoppers. Now I'm using the computer in nearly complete darkness. Anyway, how was your Saturday, board?

I must have these answers.

All my vidya gaming was gravely important

I hope you didn't type like that at school.

I reported someone to the FBI for threatening to shoot up a school today. So actually I did do something of grave importance today.

I did break up the contents of my academic writings into paragraphs. Although, I still had many professors who complained about the unnecessary length of what I'd submitted. In truth, at some point during my academic career, I had stopped caring altogether about the content and formatting thereof.

Count that day wasted
whose low setting sun
views from thy hand
no worthy action done

Uh, get some?

You could always take up woodworking.

I mean, leaning when to break up a paragraph would certainly help.

Kinda lame, but I'm not a big weekend person these days.

Still figuring out if there's anything I want to get during the sales this weekend (despite the great deals being done) and I'm still trying to figure out a laptop to go with.

I washed and vacuumed the inside of my truck. Then I brought my patio furniture inside for the winter before it snows tomorrow. Then I put up some Christmas lights in my house. And now I'm putting together a printed notes booklet for my Chemistry students.
