Not a great day.
1) Last night, there was a moment where I suddenly felt like I could barely breath, felt extremely weak and faint. I think I might have either rolled onto my fist and somehow cut off some bloodflow or was having a bout of sleep paralysis coupled with a nightmare, or some combination of the two. I eventually managed to move and roll onto my back and it passed. Either way, it was bad.
Then, 59 miles into my 60 mile morning commute to my internship, Mr. Officer pops out from behind a bush in the center median and gives me a ticket. Then goes back behind his bush in the center median to continue collecting money for the state.
Then I walk in to work and drop a 4 liter glass bottle of expensive ultra-pure ethanol. At least it wasn't acid, virus, or something else that's either dangerous or requires meticulous disinfection.
And then I fuck up the plaque assay that I was working on for the past 2 days by letting the agarose sit for too long and it started gelling up on me.
Oh, and some prick in a red mini sped up to block me from merging into his lane when my lane was ending. Douchebag.
I actually found out what causes sleep paralysis to be so terrifying awhile back. Regardless if it's a nightmare or not, sleep paralysis occurs when you awake, but your body is still in low functioning mode, so you can't move. Your brain is also still processing the dream you're currently having, so it makes it hyper-real, like a hallucination, and since you can't move, you're extremely sensitive to the imagery since it's the only thing you can concentrate on.
Sounds like a good trip to me
i skipped everything to play deus ex 3
Xbox account hacked and charged for $125
Slight flare up of the good ole' skin issue. Not sure why, but it seems it could be related to dairy; hooray. I fucking LOVE cheese, looks like I can't have it now.
First world problem I guess, but still.
Was my first day back at work today as well after being out for a month. The flare up could have been due to the stress. Also hardly anyone seemed to notice that I was gone for an entire month.

I've never had a full-on nightmare come up when in that sort of state, but I think this could have counted, whatever it was. I thought I could die for a second and it almost felt comfortable when I let myself feel faint for a moment. I think the shock of catching myself thinking and feeling that allowed me to move into a position where I could breath freely again and was fully conscious.
I almost always retain enough awareness and control in a dream to be able to calm myself or wake myself up when things start to go awry. Even in my previous experiences with sleep paralysis, all of which have happened within the year, oddly enough, I've been able to prevent things from going into full hallucination mode.
And Kirby, it's not like a good trip. I've known people who do hallucinate fully like that sometimes and it's... bad.

This has only happened to me once, and it was at college last year. Sleeping on my stomach, thought I was awake but absolutely could not move no matter what. Pretty freaked out. Took a minute to break free.
I have been losing my attention span for video games, I don't really play much besides TF2 because I never feel like playing anything else. I actually hate it because I feel I am losing my passion for video games when it is what I have loved since I was 2.

GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN
Nah, just kidding. I know the feeling. You just need a break from gaming. Trust me, you'll benefit from it. Spend a month either cutting down on gametime or avoiding it completely. Try to hang out with friends, watch some movies, catch up on homework, look for work, etc.
