when i gave up smoking last time I had insomnia for about a week/10 days. I got an hours sleep a day, max. This time I can barely keep my eyes of open, what a bugger!
You're like the posterchild for people who just stopped smoking. It's all you guys ever talk about :D .

Do you have tenseness/soreness in your muscles and a tough time making poo-poo's ? (serious question, I experienced these)

Oh that sucks so much. I can't study when I'm sick, my heads not clear and I can barely make it a few pages before I start sleeping. Is it just a random cold or something really crappy?
It's just a cold, so I can do some studying, but I can't stand up for long. It actually might be a good chance to get work done without any distractions from people.

Hey we're people too :stuckup:

It's cool that you can work when you're having a cold. I'm probably the most pathetic thing you've ever seen when I have a cold, so I just hug my blanket and ring my little bell for mom to bring me tea :p

But I choose to interact with you, I meant people disturbing me :) And it's okay, but doesn't often last too long. I am pathetic when I have flu :)

:heart:

I'm pathetic whenever I experience something related with illness or pain. I hit my toe on the door this morning, still bitching about it :D . Is your lucky other half bringing you any delicious soups?

To be fair its the dominant thing on my mind at the moment, for the next few days at least. I don't remember having either of those last time, but when I worked out yesterday I could barely do half the normal ammount of reps i'd do.

It's going to be the dominant thing on your mind for several months. Better be prepared for that, yo :p

Alright, cool if it does that for you.

5 months after I last quit smoking I was still talking about it quite a lot. The only thing I dread about smoking is the part where I have to be social without a cigarette in my hand. I started smoking 1 or 2 cigarettes at the age of 16 whenever I was out and had a few beers. When I really started going out at the age of 18, I started smoking regularly. Point of this rant is: When I'm at a bar and I don't smoke,

A: if smoking is allowed inside, I have no idea what to do with my hands. Everyone offering me cigarettes and me turning them down all the time leads me to think about a cigarette and when you start obsessing about something you just can't have fun.

B: If smoking isn't allowed inside, I miss the "smoke breaks" where you go out with a few friends and spend some time outside. Almost every girl I've ever hooked up with, I met outside a bar, offered her a smoke and then you have 5 minutes without music, without interference to lay some ground work.

I used to feel lke that, but it was suprisingly easy to just not smoke. Now i'm skint and haven't bothered with making friends here i don't have that issue...BUT. My old housemate and one of my closest friends, is moving to cardiff soon to start a new job and he's staying with me until he finds a place and he's the one who got smokin again last time so if i can stay strong with him around then i wont have any problems.

Not today, but he took good care of me last night. He's a strict nurse, actually.

Administrative cretenism is really one of the few things that makes me want to take a bite out of the table out of fury.

We're moving the 15th of May. I see that we're paying almost 100$ in "entertainment" fee on the first bill that we've been sent. So my hunt to find out which company is providing out there, what sort of deal you get (internet speed & channels) start, so I can call off my existing deal going on with yousee - or move the adress if it's the same company as now.

1. I call the company in charge of the apartments we're moving into. After 30 minutes of waiting, I get some stupid broad (apologies ladies) on the phone, she takes an additional 10 minutes to figure out what company it is, and tells me that the deals with the company are individual and that the fee on the bill is just some sort of estimate they have going for the medium package channels and 20/2 mb internet connection. She also tells me that Yousee is the company they have the deal with, so I need to call them to make sure what package I really do want.

2. I call Yousee, pass on the information that I've been given from the real estate company. The very nice phone guy ( Was expecting to get Sheik on the phone) searches through an entire web of databases (takes him about 15 minutes) and tells me that they do not have any deal, nor have they ever had a deal, with those adresses and that real estate company. I thank him for his help, while getting slightly red in the face and foamy around the mouth.

3. I call the real estate company again, after waiting about 20minutes the same lady picks up the phone. I tell her in a very civilized manner that I just confuckted my business with Yousee and that they have no trace of a deal ever being made on that particular adress. She proceeds to walk away from the phone, presumably to take her anti-retardation medicine, gets back and declares that she really can't help me.

TO FIND OUT WHAT THE DEAL WAS, SHE CALLED UP A DUDE WHO LIVES IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AREA CODE, ASKED HIM WHAT HE USES AND THEN REPORTED BACK TO ME

She then goes on to say that she can't help me, and that I need to call some maintenance guy in at my adress - oh and adds that he's only opened 12.00 - 12:30, MONDAY AND FRIDAY EVERY WEEK

So, there goes an hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back.
