Does this make any of you laugh?

When Cawley was eleven years old, he stole some trinkets from a peg-legged vagrant. Within the week, his sister vanished without a trace, his father died gruesomely, apparently by his own hand; and his mother went insane and was committed to a sanitarium, where she died a year later. Needless to say, he was rather traumatized by the whole affair.

Nope. Then again, understatements don't do it for me.

I would have gone for something like saying half of those things and go "All in all, the best events in his life" or something.

Aw, but that wouldn't fit the story! Unless you meant... Nah, that don't fit either.

Oh well, it doesn't have to be funny. I just couldn't take a backstory like that seriously, myself.

Don't know, pick them up as you deem fit.

@Setanta: Eh, it's far more complicated than that, but basically, college is easy, as long as you know how to handle yourself.

@juancarlos: I agree with you that handling yourself is important. My problem is other people not handling themselves thereby causing me problems.

I won't make myself angry, since I'm actually in a pretty good mood right now, which is something nice, for sure.

You know what really grinds my gears? Going through this.

Them: oh my gooood i cant sleep/i can't sleep and now i'm up at X in the morning oh my gosh this sucksss/etc.
Me: Darn, that does suck. What have you done?
T: What?
M: To sleep.
T: Nothing.
M: …What.

Every, damn, time.

I want to help you people that do nothing to help yourselves, with something that's perfectly manageable, but every time I see this I wonder why I keep trying. Wait no I don't, it's because I like helping, and all that jazz. But seriously people? You have the entire freaking internet at your disposal. What do you do? You whine about it often, you do nothing to help yourself, and let the problem grow. What, just because school or family isn't trying to get you to do something? That's no excuse to pick yourself up and go try and find something that relates to your sleeping problem(s), or search it on the web. If it really is that big of a problem then do something about it, or I will show no damn pity for you when you continue to whine and whine about it. And if it's not? Then shut your mouth already! And don't get mad when I state my opinion plainly and without malie about you not doing any of this for yourself, that's just plain silly. Also, for the record, when I ask you why not, saying, "because im to lazy lol" is not the right answer. Even being too "busy" to do a quick five second search would be better, because people are often pretty busy I'm assuming but it's not that hard! You don't look cool, you don't look like someone who is too awesome for what appears to be a problem, you don't look like any of that. You look freaking lazy for crying out loud, which you are. Now, you actually want me to help? Then listen to what I say, to what I have recommended whenever any of you all start complaining. There's stuff you can do, it's a couple second of typing and clicking, maybe even copying and pasting for later, though memorization would of course be better.

Now, obviously, some things just won't work. Some people need to watch their sugar intake, others may not like the texture or taste, yes, that is reasonable, but if it could help, chances are it'd be worth overcoming that. And yes, there's insomnia, and all that, I have taken that into account too, but that's no excuse, if it really is that bad of a problem, not to check out the ideas previously mentioned. Failing that, go see a doctor or something, dang it. You'll be helping yourself in the end.

This was aimed at no one in particular, I just wanted somewhere to put my thoughts regarding my experiences with trouble sleeping and interacting with others who have. For the record, the milk, honey, bath, various breathing and calming exercises, and anxiety parts mentioned here have worked for me at least. Now I'm just rambling. I'm sure there's more, but there's 9 possible things to help.

Sex. Just sayin'. Here's some science behind (10) it.

That one's kinda weird for me, I've had it go both ways.

I think the best way to make yourself feel tired is to give yourself some sort of assignment or impending deadline ^__^;. Seriously I never feel tired when I'm goofing off, but I always feel tired when doing work.

Oh, I know the feeling of that working too. That makes up half my problem with completing schoolwork, annoyingly enough. So yes, that'd be effective too, but not for me. xD

So, whenever I read a link leading to "True Companions", I immediately read it as 'Brave Companions'.

So I had a dream in which I was heading a small committee in charge of removing children from abusive parents.

During an investigation in which one mother was physically removing blood sugar from her daughters in the form of tablets as her idea of punishment, a group of maimed guys came in, saying they were asking for me because they had "Viking-related injuries".
