I tried to quit caffeine, and now that I've caved in after.. two days, italian roast tastes like cigarette smoke all of a sudden. And it's all I have. /why
Speaking as someone who has quit caffeine successfully before-- (pardon me for a moment while I sob bitterly into the cup of coffee I'm drinking right now)
Speaking as someone who has quit caffeine successfully before, the absolute best way to do it is to wait until all of the caffeine-bearing product in your home is gone before you attempt, and do not allow yourself, under any circumstances, to go and get more. If you're just trying to willpower your way away from the coffee that's sitting in the next room, it's much more difficult than if there is literally no coffee within easy reach. Also drink lots of water. It helps with the screaming headaches. (The screaming headaches are all but gone by the end of the first week!)

What she said. I've been working to give up soda and caffeine this month. I started by switching from soda to crystal light(the caffeinated stuff) to get myself away from the need for the taste of soda. My plan then was to wean myself slowly off of the crystal light.
What ended up happening though was I developed another stomach ulcer over thanksgiving weekend, so I gave it all up cold turkey since caffeine hurts like hell on a hotplate now.

I want to 'like' this without seeming like I'm in favour of people developing ulcers, so this is completely necessary.
Good luck, hope all goes well!

Made a new character in Skyrim. I-I'll log in later, I just need to do one more quest...oh, I'll be able to get my next smithing perk in three skill points? Hold on I'll be done once I hunt down some deer for leather-- oh, a dragon, let me just fight this real quick...Ooh, I should go get that one word of power before I spend this soul to unlock a new shout, it'd be so good for this character, and...oops.

This is why I haven't bought Skyrim. My hour play time when I bought Oblivion turned into an all night I MUST COMPLETE THE DARK BROTHER HOOD QUEST LINE cracked out on mountain dew play-a-thon.

I have fridays off...but my teacher rambled on in class when we were supposed to be working on our group project...so I have to get up and drive into the city in rush hour traffic today.
Almost all my shifts until next week are closing, and I've got an 8hr shift tomorrow and the next day... HUZZARGHLE.
@Orti@Portius I swear I haven't forgotten about your books T.=.T

2 weeks left of classes and I still dont' know how I'm going to get it all done. My mind is exhausted all the time.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.

Ugh, never touch the stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love the smell of the stuff, but the taste is just nasty.

Some coffee tastes terrible. Other coffee tastes wonderful. I drink coffee regularly, but I've hated most coffee I've tried! Though, once I found one I loved, I ended up hooked. Beware.
Today was one of those days that just sort of...went by. I did nothing, and couldn't bring myself to do anything to break the monotony. Maybe tomorrow will be different. ...but I doubt it.
They do not teach cooperation. They teach me that everyone else is a shifty lazy bum that's going to make me do all the work and then forget to bring in their piece of the presentation.

Agreed. Especially when the group project is totally irrelevant to the class, like the one I had to present today. Each of the six of us put about two hours of work in and then rehashed it for the class. Pointless.

I can't even do well in the subject I want to major in... :-<
Overall, my first semester of college has been less than stellar.
Heh, just hang in there. A lot of people don't do so hot their first semester as they adjust to college. Also quite a few departments purposely make their intro classes difficult to weed people out.
Why am I still at work after midnight...
Why is there a virus rampaging around the network?
Question two does answer question one, but not in any satisfying fashion.
Isn't question two merely a more specific version of question one?

Tomorrow is another day.
Annoyance: My planned Fiasco game had to be cancelled due to illness on the part of a player.
Amusement: The newly freed time led to half of a Hallifax playset for Fiasco being written.
Annoyance: The odds of this playset ever being used, even when finished, are essentially zero.
