wait....there are lovers of....vodka? what?

Himu · « **Reply #1982 on:** January 16, 2015, 07:22:52 PM »

Yeah! A lot of people (women, gays, fitness freaks) drink it because it's has no carbs!

To be fair, vodka is a solid spirit and good for cocktail mixing, so you can do a lot with vodka! That is assuming this bar makes cocktails.

Vodka is the perfect drink for 16-19 year olds: it's pretty much babby's first hard liquor. Half of the fun to me was finding which other drinks you can mix with it. Everyone starts off with grapefruit juice of course but eventually you may opt to go for other types of juice. You can also slam down some shots and a vodka drunk is a good, reliable drunk. It's not like Tequila where crazy shit can happen or Jagermeister, which tastes like a fermented asshole. It's pretty predictable and it's good for some douchebag teenager (like myself) to get shithammered for the first time: enough to throw up but not enough to do some crazy shit.

That sucks. How do they forget a stone?

In their words it was deemed too large to remove safely. They diverted the common bile duct where the stone was located, which they said will allow it to form the scar tissue. What sucks is they didn't let me know about this till today, they let me leave the hospital thinking everything was fine and taken care of.

The good thing is I don't have the pain anymore and can eat once again. The bad will come someday later, but for now it's better than it was before.

btw, don't take my silence as of late as a sign that my plans have changed at all. I've just gone silent for a while because I feel bad for Steve Contra's loss, so I feel bad about posting about my fun death hijinks at the moment. When I do come back, I have, as of right now, two more fun chapters. The on for today might be the best and bleakest yet.

If they can, they will. The operation will remove a portion of my pancreas. I'm hoping my body learns to work around it, thus not requiring surgery. But the major risk of leaving it in is cancer, so I'm scared by that thought more than anything else.

Getting back with exes is a fun experience. Because you both have grown a little so they seem different, yet completely familiar. The sex is great, the conversation is easy.

But then a few weeks into it, there will be that ONE THING they do that you fucking hated but forgot about. Then it's all you can focus on and then you start noticing numerous other things you hated about them and then it's all downhill from there.

Got back on my ADHD meds again. I feel so conflicted about it. Every couple of years I think, damn, I don't need this anymore. Have i outgrown it? So I go off them. Then I start underperforming, things don't go my way and I slowly have to get back on them.Think I've finally come to terms with the fact that barring any new radical treatments, I'll need to be on stimulants the rest of my life if I want to perform to the standards I want.

On the other hand, I fiddled with the dose this time and went with something lower, administering myself 20 mg of vyvanse as opposed to the normal 40 and I feel, pretty good. Not really grumpy or angry the way i usually get when I have to take them. My appetite will be fucked of course, but whatever. I just hate how they make me feel, so serious and humorless. I love to make jokes and smile and be happy, and I just can't on this shit. But its this or fail at everything in life.

I'm similar. My results aren't nearly as good as they used to be but I don't like being some person with a stick up their butt due to adhd meds either. Still, I think I'm going to get on them again for the same reason you are.

I realized I needed to be back on them the last couple months. Being off them is like living your life in a complete haze or a dream. You can't really focus on anything. You hear people say things but they don't really register with you that well. Almost like you never heard them at all. If you're doing tasks, you just feel yourself drifting away slowly. It's like having your eyes, ears, and head wrapped in cotton. On the other hand you feel happy and content. No stress. But it's impossible to really focus on any level for any period of time. I'm not getting the workouts I used to, making small errors at work (not getting caught tho ) and if i want to move into this next stage of life I can't really fuck around on any level.

Best description of what adhd is like I've ever seen. Damn, I don't really wanna be on meds again but I have to be on meds again.

Himu · « **Reply #2032 on:** January 22, 2015, 07:08:19 PM »

Ah yeah, taking the weekends off with adhd meds was the best.

There's gotta be alternatives to crappy adhd meds. There's gotta be.

Worst thing about adhd meds is the loss of pride it inflicts on me. I have to take a medicine to be 100%. That pisses me off. I ashamed of having a disability.
