Ooooooh, that's a toughy. While it is clear the girl needs more input from health professionals I can understand her mistrust of others. I would encourage her to go to whatever psychological services are available with the college. Emphasise that they respect confidentiality and if she doesn't find she is comfortable with them then she can decided that after a session or two.

At the same time, for your own sanity, don't take on too much responsibility for her too. She needs to be adult and make her own decisions.

how am i so good at jeopardy but so bad at bar trivia?

A question I've asked myself many a time. I was killing it last night. Biker boy was all kinds of "you know that?!"

I shouldn't internet while eating. I just ate a sizable portion of a paper towel (sandwich was messy, so I was holding it with a paper towel). I don't know how I ate so much of it without noticing!

Think of it as extra fiber. Some commercial high fiber breads contain cellulose made from wood pulp. Yum!

Every time I meet someone now I am just like, HEY MY KITTEN DIED SHE WAS ONLY 9 MONTHS OLD I CRY ABOUT IT EVERY SINGLE DAY. It is possible I need to rethink my social strategy.

One of my cats just came into the house to use the catbox, then went back into the garden... little bugger...

if i want breakfast, it has to be during my AM email check, so my keyboard is basically my food storeroom for the apocalypse/zombie invasion/Y2K. I could easily feed a family from all the crumbs in this thing.

Museum Day is tomorrow! http://www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/
You and a guest can get into tons of museums all over the US for free if you fill out a form on the website (they email you a ticket).

UGH. Huff Post article on veganism, and I not only read the comments, but I commented. Someone claimed that 90% of the population of India is vegan! The fork you talkin' about! The actual article is decent/fine, just talks about common newbie pitfalls, tells people to take B12 and plan well. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/27/vegan-diet-mistakes-pitfalls-plant-based-eating_n_1919293.html

Seriously though, 90% of India is vegan. It's almost like, 'You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.'

PPKing from PDX! About to go out for awesome unfamiliar city adventures.

So jealous! Have fun, be safe, and eat a donut for me!

I like when someone I know is spreading misinformation, so I tell them, and they're like, "Stop being so negative." In other words, agree with my not-facts or you're being mean!

Also - anybody else really really annoyed by Tony Robbins?

Help!

I feel really antisocial. I mean, just want to burrow under blankets and read or sleep antisocial. I also just had my period, and I always have a nasty depressive dip right after.

Problem is my aunt and uncle are visiting from Ireland. My mom is pissed, and they probably feel I'm avoiding them. I like them a lot! They are great fun. It's all me.

If I force myself to come upstairs, I feel like I'm drowning in quicksand or something and just want to get away.

How do I pretend to not be antisocial? It's not like I get to see them very often!

Once I'm sure about a situation or how I feel, being subtle is hard for me;

Yesterday I mailed the team-leader that I had the intention to not show up at the "semi-evaluation talk" cause we already had a long talk about work issues a couple of weeks ago, that these talks seem useless to me cause nothing ever changes anyway, and that at this point such a talk would add so much stress that I most likely wouldn't be able to avoid calling in sick.
(that was the mildest way of saying it, or perhaps the best way I could censor my real thoughts)

I got a reply that for this time he'll cancel the talk, but will store the email in my personal file at HRM.

Not sure what that means, but I'm really happy I won't have a talk about how things are going at work!
This improved my sleep last night (no frustrating dreams about work) and I feel like I can look forward to a relatively care free weekend.

This whole quarter-life crisis thing is wearing on me. Too many feels.

At first guess not knowing anything about the situation, it would be that the company is probably required/should be/whatever doing these evaluations and filing the note that you feel like you've already done it/don't need one is just a way for them to show whoever would question why they aren't having one with you that you've basically said of your own volition you don't need/want one. So it's not them failing (in that respect at least).

Oh flip! Overdose on chocolate and keep telling yourself that in a few days when they are gone you can be a miserable loner all you want xxxxxx

Grumpy and oversensitive today. Have the whole shower of asparagi to work with next week. FML.

There is a horseshoe nailed to the chimney in the cellar of my house that was there when we moved in. I knew of horseshoes being nailed to doorways, but never chimneys, so I just googled it. Apparently it will keep witches from flying down the chimney on their broomsticks. Glad to know I won't have to worry about that happening!

Holy crepe my friend just got engaged and she didn't tell me before posting on FB!

Just sort of had the realization that the girl I've been seeing is kind of a trainwreck, which I maybe suspected all along. The problem here is that I am SO good at taking care of trainwrecks, it's like my number one talent, but I don't know if it's something I want to do anymore.

Also I want to do something fun tonight but my only option is going to this party but I don't want to go alone and don't have anyone to go with.

At least I'm eating a Cheezly sandwich on New Cascadia bread! So tasty.

Yesterday was my five year PPKversary/veganniversary and I forgot until today.

Why would anyone spend $50,000 to be in the same room as Romney? I just don't understand. You couldn't pay me a million.

I don't think I'd spend $50,000 just to be in the same room with anyone. Even if I had $50,000. Which, you know, not really at all.

My vegan "sister" finally told me she has reverted to being omni. I had suspected for the last few weeks but was waiting for her to tell me. I'm not really upset I just wish she had told me. I had been following vegan blogs and such for years but thought it would be to hard to make the jump. So when she started sharing her goal with me I had tons of info. Then followed her a few months later. Really thankful to her.
