Did you check your in-game map?

“Bob. Bob. Wake up, Bob. Bob. BOB! Wake up. Hey Bob, how you doing? Your head okay? Good. Here’s a little grammar tip, Bob. ‘Literally’ does not mean ‘a lot.’ When you say you literally have a ton of work to do, that’s not true unless there’s an actual 2,000 pounds of something to do. Okay, Bob? If you drove a forklift and had 2,000 pounds of something to move around, then it’d be appropriate, and maybe even clever. But you can’t drive a forklift, you just sit in the office and make eight times what the rest of us make. You treat us like serfs. Do you even know what a serf is, Bob? You’re not smarter than any of us, Bob. You just happen to knock up a girl whose dad owns the business. And every time you say you’re LITERALLY bored to death by being forced to spend eight hours in this building, Bob, you remind us of just how unfair this whole arrangement is. Guess what, Bob. It ends tonight. I’ve got a couple of the cordless drills we have 500 extra units of. Guess who ordered too many of them, Bob? Guess who doesn’t think it’s his responsibility, Bob? And guess who’s the only guy in this building whose job isn’t on the line because of the screw-up? It’s you, Bob! And that’s all going to end tonight, Bob. I’m going to see how many times I can put this drill through you. I’m thinking ten, Bob, but feel free to try get that up to a dozen or so. You can scream all you want about being literally bored to death, because for once it’ll be true.”

"Must sleep. Must finish picture. Must sleep. Must post sketches. Sleep.... art.... uhh....."

I sat up, panting. I had been startled awake by some unknown terror I'd seen in a nightmare that I couldn't quite remember. I was covered in sweat even though my room was freezing.

I swung my legs over the side of my bed, pausing for a moment to wipe some of the sweat from my forehead. My heart pounded as I stepped onto the floor and made my way into the hall. A vague sense of dread washed over me, a remnant of the dream that my mind wouldn't let me remember.

I clicked on the hall light and walked slowly into the kitchen. I finally started to feel a little better after chugging down two glasses of water, and decided to read for a while to see if I could calm myself down enough to get back to sleep. When I turned to head back to my bedroom, I caught a glimpse of something in the window, like a cat. I turned my head to look at it, and then it turned its head toward me.

I don't mean it turned to look at me. I mean it had its back to the window, then turned its head 180° and stared straight at me. I was caught in the gaze of the huge yellow eyes of this horrible, nameless thing. I was paralyzed with fear, and I suddenly remembered the dream that had frightened me so much.

In the dream I was in my room lying in bed, and I heard a faint scratching sound. I sat up to see what was making the noise and those eyes were staring out at me from my closet. I felt claws on my arms, and there was a ripping and shrieking, like something living being pulled apart. That sound was what had awakened me.

I ran back to my room, slammed the door, and dove under the covers. That thing had seen me, I knew it. I shook with a combination of fear and cold, and then I realized why the room was so chilly. I had left the window open.

Her skin was wet, reflecting the fluorescent lights overhead.

It was sweat, escaping every pore, congregating in small pools that became a salty waterfall, trickling all the way to the puddle of urine below her.

She gently swayed from side to side, bound by leather straps that left her suspended from the ceiling.

There was no more surprise in her eyes, just a hopeless realization that this was inevitable. She could not escape him.

The process was explained to the best of his abilities, but he could tell that she didn’t understand.

There was nothing left for him to do but disrobe and show her.

His body appeared normal at first, but upon closer inspection, she could see numerous slits all over him. They were on his neck, his arms, his pectorals, and his abdomen.

He didn’t want to hurt her. He never wanted to hurt anyone, but the ache was too severe to be ignored. He inserted a pair of earplugs and approached her.

As he drew near, she saw the slits opening and closing, revealing small, jagged teeth. Tongues were protruding as well, licking his neck, his arms, his pectorals, and his abdomen.

He tried to appear gentle, but all those stomachs were growling inside of him, making patience a dying virtue.

He wrapped his arms around her and tried to ignore her screams. They were muffled by the earplugs, but it wasn’t enough.

Tears streamed down his cheeks as he held her, anticipating that beautiful moment when she stopped.

I SMELL TOO MUCH SMOKE

No, seriously. My house REEKS of smoke.

Convince your folks to switch to these:

Taste fairly the same, no cancer, no smoke, and about 3 to 4 times cheaper than regular cigs.

Mosquito coils are being used right now. No one in my family uses tobacco.

You sound like all those marketing ads.
But if I smoked, I'd get one.

I have a friend who's got one of those. I think they work to kill off a smoking addiction, because I haven't seen him smoke in a while.

I can tell you they do NOT work like that. But they're a bit like pills or a nicotine patch, feeding the body nicotine, and not smoke. You throw out water vapor instead of gas. And you can basically take a whiff, put it in your pocket, then take another hours later. You don't have to smoke it all on the spot like regular ones. The only thing bad for you with them, is the nicotine, which you still get addicted to. But it's the closest thing to a cigarette there is, without actually being one in any way. Heck, it's pretty much 90% close to the taste of a cigarette, and you can buy special charges for it to taste like certain brands of cigs, like Lucky Strike or Camel.

I know how they work. I didn't word that last post right.

Really?

Yes, really. >:I

What the hell is a Mosquito Coil? Some sort of mosquito relaited drug.

Now.. does Japan have it's version of "THE BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!"? I'm sure that Japan didn't get All Dogs Go To Heaven, so there must be a similar trope.

Printed out a chibi Noel (gonna use that for a chibi ref, thank god the Teach me! Litchi! segment's been ripped), so I can practice up and start taking chibi requests, they seem to be popular on DA.

Sitting here, at 3:27am, thinking about what I'll do tomorrow.

I got few people here to hang out with. I got several problems to deal with, or tons of stuff I could do to have fun. I could also go out and watch a movie, or cycle down the Tejo river, or even go get drunk at the local bar.

I honestly have no idea what I'll do tomorrow. If it'll be a good, or bad day. I could try out a small harmless scam I've been working on. I could go and play a few decks of Sueca with the old guys at the pub. Maybe try and cook a dish I've never tried before. Write a new story? Maybe.

I'm going to sleep completely clueless here. Hope I find out good stuff to do tomorrow. Hope I'm a bit crazier than I am today.

In other words, get off your ass and do something interesting.
