Help me keep my sanity!

omegle is full of illiterate and moronic fools

Smoke up / drink up and listen to chill music until you fall asleep.

Worked for me, except I ran out of money and sources of income... so now I have nothing! I have to keep my sanity! The only way I can focus on anything for extended periods of time (reading, TV, vidya games, recording music, SLEEPING etc) is when I use Marijuana.
Now I will be jittery and onfocused for like the next week or so until I can aqcuire some more. It's not that getting stoned out of my face all the time helps anything, but a small relaxing amount every several hours sorta keeps me in check.

I also feel the need to relate repetitive prolonged internet usage with sanity. I know someone who spends every waking moment on the internet in his bedroom, he has become delusional and paranoid because of this.

Man that's fiend as, I find if you get through the first week by keeping yourself busy, you don't even think about it.

Need to keep myself busy with something... maybe focus on some music shit.

Check out some indie game sites like heavygames.com

Pretty cool, if simple internet games. Do this if you hate reading like the others suggested.

Read The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, a really kickass online novel about humanity after the technological singularity.

This was a great read! I'm looking forward to the sequel. Thanks for the link.

Jeez, just go to a second-hand shop carrying the price of a night out, buy every book that takes your fancy, and read them like repiV and people are rightly saying. Then you will end up like me. SMART.

Spoiler

Seriously, though, there are a million ace books, comics, films, games...what do you want, some sort of recommendation?

Other suggestions shamelessly recycled from when repiV asked this question: look at the Interactive Fiction community, get a Z-machine interpreter, and download all the games that have won awards /// download free adventure games from the internet. Yahtzee's are good /// watch enlightening documentaries on Youtube. I'd recommend 'The Power of Nightmares', and 'The Trap' /// read Paradise Lost, one of the greatest poems ever written and one of the few true British epics /// research in copious detail the structure of another country's politics /// download new and interesting music that you would not normally consider trying to listen to /// sit around composing lists of things for other people to do //

I want to see you swimming in your books like Scrooge McDuck in his gold coins.

 

[ríomhaire]

Second-hand bookshops are great. I picked up two books the other day for just under €9; one for me and one for my brother.

I was actually planning on dropping by the library today to get a few asimov books. I don't typically read novels for the simple fact that I find it hard to pay attention due to the constant obsessions running through my head all day, but stories like "The Last Question" seem to keep me intrigued.

I'm no longer bed ridden and I recently bought The Sims 3. It's a delicious waste of time but it's mildly entertaining and I'm already doing much better as a sim than as a human, although I can't even get laid in the game. I had a chick go in my bed but the bed was situated against a wall so that I couldn't get in....I slept on the couch.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm watching the power of nightmares as i type.

When I'm bored I find a TV show to watch and download the seasons on bittorrent. A single show will hold you over for a long time, there are days on the weekend when I have nothing to do and will watch them all day. Currently I'm on the sopranos which has 6 seasons for 90 hours total. Some other good shows I got in to:

Weeds
Breaking Bad
The Wire
Deadwood
The Office

Of course having some weed in your system always makes these a lot more enteraining.

we like the same shows apparently...how bad-ass is breaking bad!? It's starting to overtake Weeds as my new favorite drug-related series.

Have you seen "It's always Sunny in Philadelphia" by chance?

 

[No Limit]

I saw that show back when it was on Fox, this was ages ago. Then it moved on to FX and I didn't get that channel on Dish. I remember it being fairly funny but I never got in to it, I might have to try it out again.

Breaking Bad is probably one of my favorite shows, cant wait for the new season (I know its still a long wait). Weeds seems to be slacking lately, not nearly as good as the first 3 seasons but still very entertaining.

 

[VirusType2]

Well, damn, you need to get Generation Kill.

Maybe you've seen it already.

 

[13LACKBISHOP]

Get to 10th prestige on cod5. That should soak up a few weeks.

Good call. I watched a few of these but forgot about it. I need to watch all the episodes.

i'd rather drown myself in a toilet full of aids and urine, but thanks for the suggestion
