When your mood matches your avatar...
 

Anyone else felt their avatar and title suddenly really, really fit them?

Me, I'm stuck with exam preparations, homework catch-up, worries, and sleeplessness from my sleep rhytm turned upside down. I've also reached the age of 21, and with my current back pain... Well, lo and behold...

Sigh, you said it, Radio Room. You said it:-?.

(:p)

Welcome to the sleepless club. :up:

Maybe we could try counting fjords: http://www.fjords.com/gjestebok.php?side=4

So there's thousands.

Ok I'll start: One fjord, two fjords, three fjords.......four fjords............five fjords..............six fjords..............................:zzz:

Argh! :arrgh!:

What the hell are you yapping at baby-face?! You think you have back pain? Your fancy rhythm is upside down!? You just wait untill I'm finished with you to see what turning upside down is all about! Now to the floor now and give me 50 you dirty bilge-rat! You're gonna fill the entire company's canteens with your own damn sweat! Now start sweating trooper!

Keep it up Viking-man. Make this crazed bizzarely tanned norseman proud. :up: :hulk:

(ok, I need to improve my motivational skills)

No :yep:

I know how you feel mate. :-?
I am overloaded with work and exams, but additionally I have a buch of serious personal problems, that I am trying to resolve. I almost never sleep anymore, I can't, and when I sleep I somtimes sleepwalk and do very dangerous things. :cry:
I am waiting in line for a psychiatrist, but in this country you have to wait really long.:nope: If there is an avatar of a pirateflag with a skull on this forum, then that is the way I am feeling.

Exams
 

I too am writing exams now - really hard ones too.:cry: (So far I have written 2/5, including my hardest one). I feel pretty depressed right now too, but nowhere near as much as some other people here.:huh: I imagine I'll feel better when exams are over I can fly home again. I hope everyone else here eventually starts to feel that way soon - I can't think of any more advice to offer at the moment.

I'm in a pretty good mood actually, since I 'graduated' from that stage where they have exams :smug: (I'm a masters student at the moment) And I just finished all my final papers.

I feel the pain of you all academics though. In the preceding 5 days, I pulled 3 all-nighters just to finish my work, and the reason I disappeared off the face of Subsim for the previous couple of months is also a schoolwork+work overload.

That said... have I not said somewhere before that I've always felt like 22 going on 40? :p It's a strange thing, but I can't think of a time in my life that I didn't feel older than I actually was.

As for the back pain... I blame the chair (stupid kitchen chairs I used for the past 5 years instead of a proper office one). I'm counting on Santa to save me this year :88)

S-K, how do we change and keep an avatar we like? I don't see a way to do it in the User CP. Or, do we have to ask Neal?

I believe a custom avatar comes with a donation to Subsim :yep:

Well, I finished up all my college work back in 1988:know:. Therefore, life is somewhat stress free and I have always slept like a bear in hibernation.

Now as far as the avatars and feeling like it some days.....just don't feel like the Navy Dude avatar....NEVER!

If this has made you laugh, great, just wanted to make ya feel better with all the school work!

Thanks for the info CCIP. ~S!~

I have never felt like the transvestite applying lipstick.

Other than that, I'm cross-trained between the radioman and mechanics.

Here's a mood changer for you ...

Have a Merry Christmas ... 2007 is going to be my kind of year.

Yes, I'll feel way better when exams are done. Got some personal problems at my end, too, but I don't feel like posting them here. I'd post them at my livejournal if I had one:-?.

Where's my #1 all-time favourite image file, courtesy of a long-dead blog?

Ah, here we go:up:!

:smug:

By the way, has anyone seen the current header image on google.no? Seems someone likes Munch:rotfl:...

Yep when christmas is over i will look & feel like that old man

I have only one big green eye....but it's extendable. :ping:

I may look like something out of the impressionist style of art, but all is well. My wedding preps are coming along nicely, with all the main things now done, hust some small stuff to organise, but that can wait till the new year.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year everybody!!!:up:

Exams on my end too :nope:, along with some very minor personal things. But misery loves company, and that's why I'm loving this thread! I'm sure these "pre X-mas blues" will diminish with the passing of Christmas and the coming New Year. Winter is always tough, but we always (well, most of us) manage to get through it with only a few cuts and bruises. I just wish I lived somewhere where I could ski or do something fun to take the stress off for a bit.

Oh yeah, and to answer the question: no, not the Captain one at least.

Not really.

(Sticks left hand in pocket and strikes admiral like pose whilst looking wistfully stage right as if wishing he were at sea again, the rolling deck beneath his feet a sqadron of battlecruisers at his command....What was the question?).
