just spent too much time pruning my fb after switching over to timeline

woooooooo!!!!

oh, sorry. i was thinking i was the first to rediscover the sandbox. now i see that others were enjoying the sandbox literally 15 minutes ago

Anyone ever see something that looks like a drop of light dropping down from a doorframe?

OMG yes I get this sometimes!

Glad I'm not the only one! I've no idea why it's from doorframes, it just is. Usually from an open doorway into a dark room, I see something dropping very fast. I've checked for water lots of times and there's nothing there.

It sounds like it's a reflection, or light through a gap between the door and the frame, when the door is not perfectly straight and vertical. As you move the light reflection (or view through a gap) slides up or down.

No, it's an open doorway, usually the open side so the door isn't there. It's probably something similar though.

As of August 2011, Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn was attached to direct the remake of Logan's Run with actor Ryan Gosling attached to star.[18] Refn and Gosling had recently worked together on the 2011 thriller Drive.

Oh sorry you meant an actual doorframe? I thought you meant just the light looking that way: I'll get a thing in the corner of my rght eye where a vicous blob of light will pulse down the very far right of my vision, a little as if it was in fact light shining thry a crack in a door - but I can see it in all kinds of random situs, not just when looking at a door.

Are acid flashbacks really a thing or is that like the whole "seven times and you're legally insane" hallucinogen mythos?

they are really a thing!

tho i think it's more like a vivid memory suddenly encroaching on present reality

I'll tell you why I ask: back when I used to do a lot of hallucinogens, I would often see animals scurrying around in my peripheral vision. It happens once in a great, great while now, but not even remotely with the frequency or intensity that it used to (notably once asked someone what their dog's name was only to be met with a blank stare and "I don't have a dog..."). I always chalked it up to drugs, but then I started to post about it vis a vis light in doorways and wondered if I was just going to sound totally crazy.

I've never had a vivid memory suddenly encroaching on present reality, though (thankfully. I would probably not handle that well). Just peripherally scurrying critters.

peripheral creatures, i am familiar
i think hallucinogens taught me a lot about how time/space and memory works. i mean, in a really unscientific way.

- it has been raining all day and for part of the day i feel like i did nothing, because i was tired but also just a bit bleah, like, i actually watched four or five episodes of The Unit (i know i know; i have a thing for this show) on netflix and in between did work/"work". and ate noodles. and felt horribly lazy.
- but then pulled myself up and did some reading but not any tidying which is what i kinda need to do
- and then a friend said we needed to go rock climbing and we went and it was AWESOME and i feel ALIVE again. it had been two weeks since last climbing, which is wrong and makes it more difficult to warm up but i did hard things and now my arms feel like they can hardly deal with holding a mug of tea but it's all A-OK :)

Oh sorry you meant an actual doorframe? I thought you meant just the light looking that way:

Me too. Now I get it.

xp Acid flashbacks, PTSD flashbacks--any extremely vivid experience will give you flashbacks.

The wind sounds insane out there! Lying in bed listening to howling and leaf tornadoes outside.

it is frosty and slippy and slidey and my lil bro pushed me up the steep hill on our road, not in the car or anything i just set myself and he pushed me- neighbour's kid wanted to try it but we were rushing for work mebbe later kid ok

already posted this on chicago thread, but just found out i made it to final round of interviews (with two other people) for a cool job in Chicago!! the interview will be sometime during the next 2 weeks, and i'll get the final decision on Jan 9 (and then would start out there in late Jan, if i got it)

This is awesome! Your job was making you really depressed and it seemed kinda hopeless and you deserve better!!! Gl gl gl

Yay ZS! That's awesome!

*pumped!*

man, have you guys seen the new facebook timeline? a friend of mine just switched over to it, and holy shit, this scares me. i'm going to have to comb through my history because i know there are BILLIONS of things that wouldn't be so great to share these days.

Contrary to what I expected, I actually get happier and happier about deleting my FB page as time goes by.

i might just delete everything older than 2 weeks old. i don't want to look back through all this shit

i would give the last 5 years two thumbs down

way down

i still don't have the timeline and i don't know why

Those of us dorks who enabled the damn thing in October had a lengthy discussion on reg ILX about how to hide stuff and what people can and cannot see. If ILX were here I'd show you. :( It's not as bad as it seems if you already have your privacy controls set to the safer side.

I don't have it either and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing?

i have 16 more minutes of work and i am hungry

now it's 15 minutes

Ugh this looks horrible (still don't have it). How is Facebook giving me *deadlines*?!

haha right? who does facebook think he is?

sarahel what is yr work these days

How is Facebook giving me *deadlines*?!

I KNOW! it's like "don't worry - you have until Dec 23rd to review"

THIS IS A BUSY TIME OF YEAR FOR ME FACEBOOK GODDAMMIT

same work as always, except today we have a deadline for a new program, and i am sitting here until 5pm in case anyone has any last minute questions.

Jenny don't talk like that. Literally every day I hope that you will return, even as a markers-like persona - you were on FB for the reasons we prev discussed.

No pressure. I respect your decision and it's not like I'm aggrieved for something I need; more like I lived a season in Eden and I'm now spoiled.

I'm looking forward to my timeline becoming available and it will definitely encourage me to use FB way, way more. Honestly this is something I've wanted for a long time.

Facebook eliminated the public listing of those "not going" to events?

that feature was very useful and convenient

Hahaha I know, right?

hey, zs, good luck!
and let's hang out soon in case you decide to leave. i'd be jealous. i think i liked chicago better than dc (despite seeing v little of it in 4 days).

hey ilx, what do you need?
do you think you'd like to come and bleed with me?

i might just delete everything older than 2 weeks old. i don't want to look back through all this shit

instead of deleting it I 'hid' literally everything from the last uh, 6 years, it took fucking forever but at least I don't have to think about it now

I just use fb as a tumblr w/ a good msging system now
