- I've been meaning to take my civil service test and see if I can't get a government job if I find I need a larger income.Perhaps I'll apply for typist.

- I see you've already posted 22 and 23. I'll go read those.

- Yeah, medication can really screw with it. I'm hoping some of my stubborn weight is muscle from the weightlifting. I too would like a balance, don't want to get too skinny either.

- I love it, just need to have more of it.

- I watch a lot of music videos as well.

- I hear you, I think in many cases, all it does it provide people useless conversation ammo at the "water cooler," but I like to know what's generally going on. I try to just get the headlines at least then research on my own; unfortunately, certain news outlets are unavoidable in this house...

- Yeah, I'm always cooped up here with my parents, who I love, but I need human interaction outside of just them and work. Of course, my coworkers are cool enough I'd grab a beer with them, but still. Music is a great way to meet people.

- I still have the patience, I just feel like I'd gain more from non-fiction. Poetry and plays are good reads, too.

- If you haven't gotten into it, quite possibly you won't. I'd say by this time it's perfectly fair to say you don't like something, but hey, if you think it'll pan out, go for it.

- I can't really tolerate it, either, even as a kid...

- Butterscotch is good, too.

- I think you're great at self-improvement when it comes to what you seem to love, which is music. I've always liked or at least appreciated your stuff. The key to dieting and exercise is really just consistency, and you know how to be consistent; just pick an easy goal starting out and stick to it. Weight loss apps can help, at least in my case.

Well, if you didn't grow up with them, I can certainly see that, I don't think I'd like the old one as much if I weren't nostalgic for it. Never bought a game past the very first one on Gameboy, though, didn't see the point, all looked like basically the same game with updated graphics and more creatures. Meh. The pinball one though, I genuinely think is awesome.

I'm glad we agree on Dragonball, I never got into Z, too much talking. Original is funny to me.

Fiction-Non Fiction, do you mean like sort of a book version of a "based on the story of..." movie, where it's about an actual thing, but they take a bunch of liberties with it? And I'm interested in science non-fiction as well, I was never great at math or science, but I'm finding that's cause I didn't focus myself enough because I thought I was so bad at them. Turns out, I love them both, just need to focus a bit harder to understand them better.

I might post some about philosophy then, at some point.

And thanks, I got some sleep, hope your insomnia's not treating you too badly.

Yeah, it's not so much lack of sleep in my case, it's that I "plug myself in" so to speak at night, cause everything's more interesting then. My fault, just have to turn myself around.

And I'm also dumb, yet love philosophy, so we'll have that in common. lol I've been meaning to tell Nick how awesome it is when I'm able to comment on my phone, when 1up won't budge for me to do so (highlights the top part of the comment box below title, but I can't do anything), though Pixlbit has done some of the same for me recently. My phone is old though, so I'm just happy I can view the site from my LG Optimus V.

I know who Stephen Lynch is, but have not heard this ice cream song. I'll have to look that up.

Only Insomniac games I've played are Ratchet & Clank, and a bit of Spyro when I was little, but based on those, they do seem pretty cool.

I've never had bedhog dogs, or dogs at all, but I used to like it when Clinger would sleep at the foot of my bed in a ball, purring. That actually helped me sleep, same way Kaylee helps you.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom, that doesn't sound like any fun. In my case, the light being on tends to help me sleep. It's not a fear thing, I'm not afraid of the dark, it's just that I always find myself needing to get up to turn it off, which ruins the sleepiness factor for me. I need a remote for that thing...

Yeah, I've never heard a parent of a really small youngster reporting too much sleep, so four to five hours is good. lol My weight loss app tells me to try and get seven, and I usually get that, the problem is it's during the day. If work calls one of these times, I'm screwed, or at least not enthusiastic about driving through downtown Dallas tired.

And mint is great.

The I'll Sleep When I'm Dead approach, very noble. I hope you get your hip replacement soon, getting even less sleep with a kid around doesn't sound fun.

Yeah, I had gained roughly that by the end of last year cause I was taking my girlfriends out to eat too damn much. I've only now started running, but because I had the time to do it, I was only walking three miles a day along with using an app called Noom Weight Loss Coach on my phone to track calories. I hate cardio too, but walking is nice, allowed me to get out and listen to music.

That book sounds vaguely like Catcher in the Rye in reverse, or maybe Dead Poets Society in reverse? Probably I'm just making too much of a connection with the depression and alternative/boarding school themes. Either way, interesting. 

Everyone should love sherbert, it's awesome. I'm glad we agree on that. lol

This article appears to have been written before all details were in, but I think I remember it was in fact a heart failure.

And I've seen Rob Zombie on Conan or some such talk show talk about how he was raised in a circus pretty much, and learned a lot of his showmanship and strange ideas from that. He performed on that same show, and I really wanted to see him live myself after that.

That Raiho plushie is pretty cool; I've always been interested in the Persona games story, not sure how long I'd last at a JRPG dungeon crawler like SMT though.
