Ambien is so bizarre. Without fail, I will take it, continue on with my night then suddenly find myself waking up with having to Memento what happened between popping the pill and getting into bed.

I was on it briefly until I woke up one morning to find one of my dining chairs on my patio. I lived on the 15th floor and had absolutely no recollection of why I was on the patio or what was going on. I never took another.

You know when you're playing a strategy game and you go in to a battle and you just don't have the attention span or energy to actually command it yourself, so you let the CPU handle it?

Everytime, without fail, something stupid happens. You'll lose a really good hero unit. You'll have an Army of 30,000 high tech troops get embarrassed by 300 spear wielding peasants and forced to retreat. Sometimes your war fleet with thousands of fighters and a planet killer gets destroyed by the loving Ambassador's yacht from a back water world. Hell, sometimes it's even good. Your 3 Tank platoon unit manages to completely wipe out an enemy division coming across your borders.

But in reality, thats what Ambien is, it's hitting the CPU button on the battle screen and praying to God you don't find your capitol burned, your women raped and your fields salted the next morning

I can't do Ambien.

The sleeping pill they gave me was some Hydro whatever. It works, takes a bit to kick in but it works. It's an anti-histaime or whatever.


No, Ambien makes me do things in my sleep. I don't want to chase the walrus anymore.

Hydroxyzine? That poo poo was like a little pressed chunk of sleep apnea for me, only took it for 3 nights and each one had me wake up in the morning ticking off every single classic symptom you can imagine.

I remember getting the first few of the series of anthrax vaccines and the one guy on the ship that refused to get them. They were going to chapter him out, but then they stopped giving the vaccine and he stayed in.

Man. When I went to Haiti, they gave us dioxycyclene or something. It began with a D. Anyways that poo poo specifically said that a side effect was sensitivity to sunlight.

What the gently caress

So the next few months it's me and a few other people farmer tanned like a mother fucker, covered in mosquito bites, and having weird loving nightmares on this poo poo. 82nd had a few come down with malaria because they refused to take it.

So there is this guy in ROTC in my class, and he was talking about stuff that he is going to do this weekend during drill. Qualifying and the like. As soon as I started talking about guns, my professor started wigging out and said "no gun talk in the classroom." Ok, got it. Started talking about the cool Italian jump wings that you can get, and that you can't qualify in Italy and have to go to Germany, and that even if you do get them to make copies because S1 loses that poo poo. Because they lost my Netherlands shooting badge. As soon as I said shooting, she yelled at me again. She was like "please, I just said no guns."

The gently caress? It's an award it's ok.

Getting better actually. Sleep was the key and getting 2 hours of that a night and causing me to miss class was a big issue. That and realizing that I can't skate through it like I did with online college is an adjustment itself.

I only get high before my art classes cause it's loving art and you need to be stoned for that. It's helped out actually I think. Makes me less "everything needs to be perfect!" And more Bob Ross with "happy accidents. Let's see what we can do." I'll post some more when I get them back.

Got a vocrehab appointment tomorrow so hopefully I can get on the program by next semester.

Italian is loving tough though. Goddamn.

Vaffanculo! But for real your art stuff that you've posted so far has been pretty drat cool. That's good to hear that you're doing well, good luck with voc rehab. It's the tits when you tell them to charge the VA for all of your books and supplies

Yeah. The power supply went out on my computer so that's in the shop now. So I'm automatically behind on the daily homework I have to do but w/e teacher knows about it.

Thanks man. I hated drawing and stuff but I really like painting. There's just something about it that's so much better for me. I think it's because I can be more creative it seems with the paint. I'm glad someone likes it though! Besides my wife who puts it on the fridge.

Yea, what the gently caress is with kids in college who still eat snot? They don't even loving hide it like the kids in high school or middle school who try to be sly, if you see a college snot eater, he's full on in the open jamming his finger up there and gorging himself in the most conspicuous way possible.

Is the class from a Geography department? Every geography GIS course I've seen or taken is trivial peanuts compared to what you get in any geology department. There is just no comparison, and I went to a school with a huge geography dept. It seems to me like it's one of those liberal arts vs STEM things.
