If you're going to keep making me collect every single one of my packages, at least try and have reasonable opening hours for me to actually go collect them.

Oh hang about, that looks like a Faxon to the side of my name. That means I've been here for...what...six years now? My God...where does the time go...?
 
...
 
...I want those years back...

A cure for earworms

Posted by The Inquisitive Automaton , Mar 24 2013 · 75 views

From The Telegraph's website:
 

They are the songs you cannot get out of your head. Now scientists may have found a way to help anyone plagued by those annoying tunes that lodge themselves inside our heads and repeat on an endless loop.
 
Researchers claim the best way to stopping the phenomenon, sometimes known as earworms – where snippets of a catchy song inexplicably play like a broken record in your brain – is to solve some tricky anagrams.
 
This can force the intrusive music out of your working memory, they say, allowing it to be replaced with other more amenable thoughts.

 

After spending at least an hour playing anagram games online I can safely say that...nooope. All that it's achieved is switching the song repeating itself in my head. Oh god, this is horrible (not the song, the sensation).

The ride never ends

So, from one set of pills to the other it seems. I've just finished my prescription of Roaccutane (Which has worked wonders on my acne, thank you for asking) and now after a discussion with my doctor I'm on anti-depressants. Just mild ones, I should hastily say. Not because of depression anymore, but just in the hopes of giving my confidence the boost it so sorely needs. ._.
 
Also, uh, I guess I ought to thank Kumata for encouraging me to bring this up with my doctor. I still don't reckon I have SAD but if it'll stop me from being so generally shy all the time I can't complain.

How my mind works:

On the bus:
 

Oh geez, I can't wait to get home, I am going to write so much. I'll probably finish the next chapter of The Best Kept Secrets and maybe even start Suchia and a few other Lost Souls short stories. And I can keep reading Neverwhere or finish Tomb Raider or play Dear Esther again. Or I might even watch V For Vendetta again or-

 
At home:
 

...Could play Solitaire again. Oh hey, that window's looking pretty dirty. Guess I should spend the next hour cleaning it.
