Cool, there IS a site for everything

[greyandgold]

So I really needed a venue to bitch about the horrors and futility of my life; but I didn't feel like inflicting my awesome flist with such negativity and pain on such a regular basis. You all rock, and have shit of your own to deal with without reading my crap daily right?

So in my search for a way to do bitch quietly I found this - a safe way

I KNOW right? Someone actually had the foresight to create a systematic way to bitch to strangers with a variety of audiences and platforms!

I would love to do more punching...but no space for a bag/dummy right now and I'm to lazy/and or poor to go back to my martial arts training.

I like that site!

Careful with the energy drinks - if you're talking red bull, or one that contains taurine they be worse for you than alcohol!

[greyandgold]

Hmm, no idea what Taurine is - maybe I should go check that out.

No, I'm trying this one called Guru that I used to drink back in the day. It tastes better and has less caffeine so I appear less like a person on crack (like I do when on Red Bull).

Thanks for the tips!

Taurine is an amino acid which affects some people badly when mixed with caffeine, as in red bull etc. It affects the heart, causing palpitations and arrhythmia in some people. It's even worse when you mix alcohol with it.

Guru sounds great (I googled it) - I don't think we have it in Britain, I will check it out!

Thanks for the research! I had no idea red bull was that bad - thank goodness I don't drink it. But its scary to think how many people order red bull and vodka at bars.

Yeah, Guru isn't that bad and I its been 3 days and I don't feel like a crazy person. If you don't find it let me know and I can see if its possible to send some to you ;)

My stress crutch is mountain biking. Unfortunately, it's difficult to do in the winter. So I hike. Sadly, my winter hiking boots are shot so right now I'm just stressed. :(

[greyandgold]

I envy you, for some reason I'm scared of mountain biking...keep thinking I'll fall into a ditch and other bikers will find my mangled body days later...after the animals come of course.

Yes. I have a morbid outlook to outdoor excercise that involves Nature.

Sorry about your boots! Actually I was looking for a winter pair for someone else and found some great prices on used ones on the Mountain Equipment Corp sellers site.

Whatever you do don't take advice from me about dealing with stress.

But good work not turning to alcohol, food, smoking or drugs. I know a lot of people use exercise to deal with stress. This doesn't work for me but it might for you? Because energy drinks are kind of really bad for you :/

*hugs*

Is it sad that reading about your stresses in your LJ makes me less stressed? ;)

'Cause it does.

Your rl is so interesting I derive much pleasure from vicariously living through your stress.

Oh, and your awesome fic.

Almost forgot the awesome fic.

[faile_neume]

Oh god my RL is not interesting, I am just a drama queen. BUT, if me being stressed makes you feel better then get excited! Because my exam results come out in LESS THAN A WEEK OH GOD WHAT IF I DON'T GET A GOOD MARK I WILL HAVE TO KILL MYSELF. See, do you feel less stressed?

Awww, thank you so much! I shall have to stress a lot and write awesome fic whenever you are feeling down ^_^

[greyandgold]

See I do! It works! I was so rooting for you when you were studying. I hope all goes well with the results.
