Anyone here have any suggestions on how to do crunches/sit-ups without sliding across the floor? I can do a bunch of them, but I then realize I've somehow scooted my ass to the other side of the room in just a short minute or two. I seriously need a workout buddy just so they can hold my feet down.

What the absolute fucking christ Somebody bought a taxidermied raccoon, dressed it up, and took it to the gotg movie [t]https://33.media.tumblr.com/af6baad7db3f2289e01f5dd0a9026b9a/tumblr_n9pwr0Rdc31tbutdbo2_1280.jpg[/t] Well now I know I'm not as crazy as I thought I was.
For a second I thought it was you that brought a living raccoon dressed up as Rocket.
[QUOTE=TAU!;45578135]For a second I thought it was you that brought a living raccoon dressed up as Rocket.[/QUOTE] Do you know how hard it would be to get one to wear something? I mean I could probably catch one since they're docile unless you threaten one. I mean I guess if I got one, took care of it for a bit, gained it's trust, and then made some ki- What the hell, why am I thinking about this so hard
Katatonic, you need to lie down and relax.
I suppose I do

I just haven't been feeling myself. I'm really anxious about the up coming college semester because my life is about to really begin. I'm taking classes related to my dream career and I'm going to get a real job and such. So I'm really nervous and kinda scared. I know shit's gonna work out in the long run and life is going to be good, but the whole thing is very intimidating. So excuse me if I post more raccoon stuff than usual. Raccoons make me happy, and I'm trying to stay happy.

Honestly, you need to stop worrying so much about what's going to happen all the time, because it doesn't do us any good. Believe me, I went through much the same as you did during my own college, or should I say med school days. Take everything as it comes and leave the rest up to chance, or some higher power (your choice) but try to not make any obviously stupid life decisions.
First semester is the worst. Just remember to relax, stay cool and take a little time for yourself every now and then.
It's 3:15 AM now, haven't gotten a wink of sleep since I went to bed at 11:00. I'm scared this will become a problem. I feel tired, but there is some mental block in my head that prevents me from sleeping, and there is nothing I can do to push past it. And since I'm too much of a candy-ass to wake up my mom and tell her something is wrong, my only option is to sight here and stay awake all night, or to try to sleep again. I'm really worried about this, and typing out my frustrations is a good way to keep my mind focus on something else for a bit. I'll try to stop posting about as much as I can, but I can't promise you that I'll be able to completly stop.

I do my best not to mope and dread what comes next in life. All that does is make me feel upset. But the current circumstances make it hard not to. Like I said in another thread (just gonna copy paste this) "My last semester was literally only one class. Well it was gonna be three. A drawing class, Art History, and this IT course. The drawing class was canceled for some reason and I left the IT course because I wanted to change my degree. Then I went to take a that drawing course again over the summer but that got canceled and by that time jobs had already finished hiring. I still gave some people my resume and stuff, but nobody called back, so :\ So the only 'work' I've done for all of 2014 was one single Art History class." I've had it super duper easy for so long, but now I'm faced with the reality that I have to do things. After I got over [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1250748&p=45560315&viewfull=1#post45560315]this shit[/url] I sat down and was like "well I have a life to live" I've been feeling incredibly overwrought. I'm confident that everything will be alright, because every other time I've been worried about something like this it worked out great in the end. I'm just scared about the journey is all.

I haven't actually had a grasp on what I want to do in life until very recently. So now I'm taking stuff related to what I want.

The best thing you can do is reflect on the things that are bothering you and look for a solution. Treat them as something to learn from, and not something to look back to and hate yourself for. There is always a solution, and sometimes you have to just push right through the shit in order to reach it.

Turn off your computer, turn the lights out, close your eyes, and keep your focus on a single thing. Whether it's an inanimate object, a flavor of soda, whatever. Anything, as long as it's a single, simple thing. It'll keep you from overthinking about anything and keeping yourself awake further.

I've been DM'ing a pathfinder tabletop set in the eberron world for the past 4 ish months currently I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. Mainly because while the group I play with is generally light hearted the campaign took a 90 degree turn into fucking darksville and while the look on their faces and the instant mood change was pretty epic it basically took the campaign's plan so far and chucked it out with the bathwater

You need to put your players off balance. If they're currently in a settlement or small village, I'd recommend having a conquering army overrun it, forcing the party to flee. Then spend the next few sessions with them conducting a guerrilla war against it.

The last session the party was the direct cause for an entire town getting wholesale slaughtered (Kalazart if you're familiar with eberron) one PC took a shift from neutral good to chaotic neutral/toeing the chaotic evil line and the party is currently marching an army on a suicide mission to stop the main antagonist from marching/laying siege on the capitol of this particular country

I ran many such campaigns when playing 2nd edition D&D though done less of that for 3.5 ed. The most successful of these led to the banishment of Iuz to his plane of hell and the annihilation of both Zuggtmoy and Lolth. The DM did not pull any punches, in case you're asking. The PC had come close to death or failure on a number of occasions.
