Hows your days going

TDLR version: I ask subconscious to show me something hilarious, inspire me, get me to ocean, 20,000 leagues, then explain why "mastermind" faked his death. Note that the font size is unusually large on purpose due to this being my current favorite dream.

Full Version:

There is a vague dream about my alarm that transitions into a dream beginning within a wooden log house in the Land of Oz (in modern day). The room I begin in is of decent size.

The background wall was blurry and vague, but it seemed to be tan color overall. My sister and I along with another resident in the area watch a show (on TV, while I seem to be standing) before going outside. The roads are dangerous with the cars zooming by quickly, ignoring the walkers. I can clearly see the realistic black pavement. I am appalled by this, and the other resident is kind of scared too, although he seems to accept the situation, even a little embarrassed that he is scared. I explain that "in my world" people had the right of way, and demonstrate that the white lines which walkers pass by on are the safest way, while the resident is actually scared of the white stripes in his/her world so much because ironically they are the most dangerous place in this world (for passerby).

After we part our ways, my conversation causes me to gradually realize it is a dream, so I strive to complete my goals, which I wrote as OHM on my hand. I decided to do the "H" first. I shouted out, while flying upwards: "Show me... something HILARIOUS!" Instantly the skyscrapers in the metropolitan area (which look like the same ones from The Fish and the Superheroes) transform into some black and yellow Lego figures in the air which beep around randomly while moving around (or attempting to robot dance), causing me to smile, greatly amused by this. [This mirrors the ending scene of The Lego Movie, which is one of my favorites]

I thought some more and then shouted: "INSPIRE ME!!", causing the Lego figures to instantly transform into a giant black block of mound, which then gradually transformed into a question mark in front of the skyscrapers, but still rivaling their height. A light passed by, presumably from the sun, (which travels from left to right) and I felt like I received an epiphany as warmth washed over me; like I had realized something great. [This is oddly similar to the experience when I almost flew in The Fish and The Superheroes, with also skyscrapers and the sun in the background and hint of wonderful feelings]

I decided to move on to my next goal. [The "O"] I shouted out to the subconscious to bring me to an ocean, which has a tennis racket made of Lego displayed on the right side, along with a cool ball with spheres looking similar to Ubisoft's logo, in the left hand lower corner. All of this is in an underwater setting with very clear water, but the shimmering of light gives away the scene. I decide to go even deeper, shouting out with bubbles coming out of my mouth and a muffled sound: "Get me to 20,000 leagues under the sea!!" And then all was dark. (almost completely black but not quite) Swishy swish, the strange fish with their scales and fins went by, a deep sea angler shown its light, a jellyfish pushes itself by, creating bubbles, and it was all so darn cool.

There was only one goal left. [The "M"]

I asked the subconscious to meet Mastermind once more. I confronted him in front of a vague building resembling the one in which he first faked his own death, in a dark environment, and asked him why he was being chased by the evil society. He explained that he had powers similar to mine, except he didn't know how to use them well. He misused them in baseball, and was noticed very obviously. As he spoke, I saw an article on a piece of paper. Despite being very boring, using many scientific terms that I didn't understand, it still inferred how cruel the society was, wanting to capture him for scientific experiments, forcing him to run and eventually fake his own death. [Kind of similar to the anime Charlotte's plot] I noted that the story was pretty logical, and that even after his veil of mystery was taken away, he had more depth added to his personality. I am greatly touched by this story, so I react with a look of sympathy, and the dream fades away to black.

Feels pretty good :)

Woke up at 7:40 and went to take an exam for a subject I had studied only 4 hours the last night. Managed to,probably, pass the test, having a nice "stroke" of thinking to solve a problem I was not familiar with. Shit rocked..! Waiting patiently for the results....

After this I had some social chit-chats that went much better than expected and enjoyed being around people after some time :) Then I did some study time on the tough subject of signals and systems. At first alone, then went to find some friends of mine(that studied independently something else) and then another session with a friend of mine that basically I "tutored". I feel I sharpened my understanding through this, along with helping him to actually follow through study. Then we chilled out for a bit listening to Orbital.

Then, I came home and was more sociable with my parents than the previous days. We talked some, my mother cooked me schnitzels and now I am gonna chill in my room. I am physically tired, but it was a day of worth.

A.ck

Wasn't today but yesterday, I went canoeing with my brother and his girlfriend before they go back to university. It was a lot of fun, we did a few speed runs and just some drifting to relax. If you guts ever have the chance to canoe or kayak, do it! It's fun and relaxing.

Went to work, found out a coworker is an alcoholic, came home, had my sugar plummet, and now I'm messing around on the internet waiting for a game to start that I don't want to play in.

So today was pretty relaxing. Woke up, got ready just in case I had to go out, ate breakfast and then made a delicious chocolate milkshake with Nutella. Then I tonight, I got mail from a guy and got seeds! Tomorrow will be preparing the seeds and a little farm.

Usually on Wednesdays and Thursdays I work by myself. I work in a kitchen, so I run the whole thing. From dishes to making the food, I do it all.

But on the days I'm there by myself, I love it. It's so quiet and no one is there to bother me. I just do my side work for the day and chill and eat the rest of the day.

Tis the night of nothing. Unemployed.

But! Being able to get things done and just relax/wake up at noon is pretty nice! I was cutting the grass earlier in the day and I never knew it was possible but a rock or something flung up and shot me in the eye. It was a yelp then "oh fuck, can I see?" then turning the stupid thing off and taking a break.

Remember kids, protect those eye balls because you only have two!

It was alright, pretty relaxing. I was going to go and renew my drivers licence but I decided not to, I've been pushing that back for a while now.

Other than that just mostly played on reddit.

Today as not exactly the most interesting day. However, the day started with me going to the library to study because I have to retake a few exams I failed during the year later in August.

When I took a break and wanted a cookie (a balisto), it got stuck in the machine, and I was forced to buy two of them.

When I stopped studying, I went past the FabLab (where there are 3D-printers and lasercutters you can use for a reasonable price) and printed a frame mount for my gopro (it will only be finished next week monday, because the support material has to be dissolved first though).

Now a question for you HYD'ers, what's your favourite group of unknown subreddits? Mine is greddit, normal subreddits that are then adjusted to fit to /r/greypo, he's a moderator of /r/megalounge, /r/politics etc.

The past week I've been working on renovating my flat. In February of this year I moved in, but didn't have the money or time to re-paint the pink, brown, hot pink, turquoise and yellow walls. Recently my vacation began and I started the work by preparing the hallway enthusiastically. I had to sandpaper the doorframes, window frames above the doors, the baseboards and eventually the doors. There are 6 doors in the hallway. The walls were covered in something sticky and brown, probably candy and had to be washed. The entire ordeal became a nightmare to do by hand and I was giving up.

This morning, however, I felt great. So I made a list. Cleaned up piles of clothes in the bedroom, put the washing machine on, vacuumed the floor. Did the dishes, cleaned out the kitchen cabinets and cleaned the kitchen. Vacuumed the storage downstairs and moved a couple of boxes there.

I decided I would divide the hallway in 4 quadrants and do the first one today. At three, the first quadrant was done! Cleaned, sandpapered and taped off. Great. So there is time to hit the gym! I'm on a roll here. The last thing to do was take out the paper I had shredded and put in an old, damaged storage box.

The flat we live in has 5 entrance doors, each leading to 6 apartments. We usually put our trash next to our "front door". However, when I exited with my box, there were no other boxes. This happened before and because we are the last "block of 6" at the end of the street, the collectors would sometimes skip us. Our neighbours also had no paper ready. This happens. It is vacation after all.

At the third block there was a huge pile of boxes. Since I was heading that way anyway, I put my box there. It would be easier for the collectors as well. Suddenly I heard this noise above me. "Do you live here?" A woman yelled at me. She had a pony tail, yoga pants and a grey shirt. Her age was somewhere between 20 and batshit. "Sort of. I replied". She started yelling that this was only for people who lived in the flat and I should take my box back. "But I also live in the flat, just not in your part? I don't see the problem here?"

"You put your trash in front of our door!" she yelled. But I couldn't have done that, she lives at the third floor. I felt this rage growing inside of me. I wanted to call her down and hit her. What was she thinking? One box? There is only 35 feet between the place it had to go according to her and where it was now! A huge pile of boxes is already covering the sidewalk. The collectors would come in two hours!

I'm not the most social person in the world. Defusing a situation like this is not for me. I'm not taking my box back either. Bowing down for crazy? Never. Not sure what to do, I walked away. Suddenly I felt moisture on my arm. Turning the corner, I was wondering what this was. Spit! Her neighbour spat at me! I should buy a crowbar and show them what happens to fucking assholes!

Angry I walked to the gym where I washed my arm. The D.I.Y store is right next to it and still open, I could buy a crowbar. I got on the exercise bike. Why would I even care if I went to jail for this? I'll be helping the planet. Stupid bitch. All because of ONE box. One box. Yes, that's what it was. This stupid drama, the anger, about that? What is she going to do? Put it in front of my door? Turn it over? I'm not cleaning that up! Wait for me and yell again? What am I angry about? Why am I letting her ruin my day? Suddenly I started feeling less angry, this had never happened to me before.

On my way back, she wasn't on the balcony. The box was still there. The trash is being picked up now. So it was three hours, not two. I'll do my best not to get so angry next time. Was it worth wasting my energy? No. Just because she wasted hers, doesn't mean I should waste mine.

The only thing I'm not sure about is where I'll put my box next month....

What is reddit, really?

• Don't think of reddit as one giant community. This site is made up of "sub"reddits, which are all their own communities. Every single post you see on this site belongs to its own community, with its own set of users, and with its own set of rules. reddit provides you an easy-to-use interface for managing what posts you see by letting you subscribe or unsubscribe from certain subreddits.

• By making an account, you are automatically subscribed to a set of "default" subreddits which are a set of highly popular communities that the administrators of this site feel would give the average person an interesting first experience.

• Don't like one or more of these default subreddits? Use the "unsubscribe" button on the sidebar, and start customizing your reddit front page! Find subreddits that interest you. Many subreddits feature lists of "similar subreddits" that will help you find other awesome places to subscribe to. Looking for a subreddit but you just don't know its name? Try /r/findareddit! Finally, try setting up a multi-reddit to categorize your subreddit list even further!

Tips for your account.

• See and change your preferences. Customize how many comments show up, what kind of posts show up, and more!

• Verify your e-mail. If you don't do this and you lose your password, you will have no way to log back onto that account. Ever. Please do this!

• Karma is a point system that lets you know how your submissions or comments are doing. The more karma your post has, the more people have upvoted it. Generally a higher karma count on a post means that the community of that subreddit found your post valuable and interesting. Your karma is logged on your user page on the top right. Please note that self-posts earn you no karma. Only comments and link-posts do.

What is the sidebar?

• The "sidebar" is the list of information pertaining to a specific subreddit. At the top you will find a link to submit a post and a link to search the subreddit. It also contains the link to "subscribe/unsubscribe" from that subreddit. Underneath that it generally lists the rules, guidelines, relevant information, similar subreddits, etc.

  Note: many mobile reddit apps require you to press a certain button for the sidebar to show up. Every subreddit has a sidebar. Please don't forget to look for it even if your app doesn't immediately show it! Here's an image showing where to find it on common reddit apps.

• You should always read the sidebar before submitting a post to any subreddit, and if you don't understand a rule message the moderators to ask. This ensures that your post stays on the subreddit, as rule-breaking posts will likely be removed.

• Have a question about a submission to a particular subreddit? Ask the moderators there! Here's an image that shows you where you can typically find the link to message the mods.

Who are moderators? What do they do?

• Each subreddit is a community with its own focus. The mods are volunteers who ensure the subreddit stays true to its purpose by enforcing set rules. For example, /r/android is a subreddit dedicated to discussion of the Android operating system. Anything not directly related to Android is removed by its moderators. Similarly, /r/apple is a subreddit dedicated to discussing Apple and its products.

• Moderators have the power to approve or remove any comments or submissions made to only the subreddits they moderate. They can also issue a ban for users on their subreddit. Moderators enforce the rules laid out in the sidebar, so if you follow all the rules in the sidebar you should be good!

Who are admins? What do they do?

• Meet the admins. The admins are like super-moderators. They have all the abilities of moderators across every subreddit plus more. They are paid employees of the site and they ensure that the site runs smoothly for all users.

• The admins are generally hands-off when it comes to individual subreddits, letting the moderators and the community decide how its run. However, the admins will enforce the rules of reddit on every subreddit. Be familiar with these rules. Failure to follow these rules may earn you a sitewide ban, or the closing down of a subreddit.

What is reddiquette?

• reddiquette is an informal set of guidelines to follow before commenting or submitting on reddit. As reddit has grown, certain behaviors have been frowned upon and other behaviors have been encouraged. reddiquette spells out these behaviors so you aren't left wondering why your posts aren't well-received. You might not be banned not following reddiquette, but you will probably be showered in downvotes if you don't.

Help! What happened to my post?

• reddit is a huge forum with millions of users. Many posts are made here every day. Many, many posts are made with the intention to spam or harass other users. Other posts just don't fit the subreddit. Moderators have to filter through these posts every day to ensure their subreddit stays on topic and free of hostility. Some moderators use bots to help them report posts, some moderators do it all themselves. Every subreddit is different. If you find your post not showing up in the subreddit, your best bet is to ask the moderators there why it's not showing up. Please note: when you message the moderators, ALL moderators can read it! It's a shared inbox!

  • I can still see my post but others say they can't?

  Nothing is really removed from reddit, if a mod removes something it is de-listed for others to see. You can still see it with a direct link.

  • My post was removed because it was spam? What gives?

  Spam is a tricky subject, reddit has several base rules but much of it is left for moderators to decide. reddit's FAQ has a good section explaining it.

I have a great idea for an existing subreddit!

• Awesome! Message the moderators so you can talk to them

I have a great idea for reddit as a site!

• Awesome too! Post it in /r/ideasfortheadmins

What if I don't like the moderators or how the subreddit is run?

• That's okay, reddit was built to handle just that! First though, make sure that you talk to the moderators of that subreddit just to be sure there aren't any misunderstandings, or if you can't just compromise. Otherwise, make your own community! Here is an excellent guide for starting and moderating your own subreddit.

• Moderators are people, too, so if you want your voice heard consider messaging them politely with your concerns. We care about the communities we help run and would hate to see users leave because of something that we can help fix!

What if I need help with something else?

• Try /r/help for general help on reddit. /r/askmoderators can also help you out if you need to ask mods about anything.

I think I found a bug.

• Uh oh. If you are using an application or extension, most have a subreddit you can post in! (/r/RESIssues, /r/alienblue, /r/redditisfun). If you found a bug with reddit itself, post it to /r/bugs (more serious issues should be sent directly to the reddit security team: see the /r/bugs sidebar for contact information.)

##Other Subreddits of Note

• Other good subreddits to check out for help with various topics are /r/Modhelp, /r/Modnews, /r/ChangeLog, /r/Blog, and /r/Announcements.

Okay, so new isn't exactly the right word, but whatever. Basically I have a friend that I met through another friend a few years ago. We talk on Skype a lot, and play videos games/make videos together. He's a cool dude. For some reason, I had never met this friend that lives about 20 minutes away from me in real life. Well that changed. I met up with him and caught a movie (Guardians of The Galaxy is awesome, by the way). Since it's the Summer, I almost forgot how it feels to get out of the house and socialize. It's a great feeling. I encourage you all to get out and go have some real fun!

My day was the definition of relaxation, in my opinion. I slept until 12pm, didn't get out if bed until 1:30pm, made brunch - tuna salad, my favorite -, watched some movies (Chrysalis- do not recommend, typical post-apocalyptic zombie movie, nothing special. Cold In July - this one was okay, a man kills a joke intruder and later finds out the police lied about who the man he killed was), put a dip in and mowed the lawn, and now I'm casually playing piano!

So, on a charter bus, with some of my friends. We are on a trip to Gatlinburg, TN, and are getting bored. So we pop in a few lazerdis- I mean DVDs. We watched Princess Bride, Back to the Future, and Baby Geniuses (We wanted one bad movie in there at least). Two hours from it, and we got one movie left: Ghostbusters. And one of my friends, (Let's call him Johnny) says this:

"Wait, that one Bill Murray movie? I hate that one."

"Good joke, Johnny."

"Joke?"

Wait, what?

Yeah, apparently he hated this movie.

I'm sad too.

"Why do you hate it?"

"The part with the Titanic coming back is really stupid."

"I don't remember that part"

"It was in it, and kinda scarred me"

"It was probably in the sequel, don't be a negative Nancy."

We popped it in, and tried to prove him wrong. Sure enough, no Titanic.

Afterwards, we asked him what he thought of it.

He waits 30 secs

"It was still pretty bad."

I stayed up until 6 am today. I have work at 5.30pm. Sigh. I'm super burnt out on my job. I feel like theres something I was supposed to do today but i can't remember what it is. So really I'm just sitting and waiting until I need to go to work.

Although I would really really like to go to a restaurant I was previously let go from. They have some of the best Ramen there thats house made. Ironically the owner didn't like me and thought I was a terrible server. I've been working at another restaurant for over a year now and I'm one of the star employees. I'm very proud of myself for that.

Other than that my room is a sweltering inferno that only has one openable window. I'm looking to escape shortly and try out the CD I just burnt for the first time in like 6 years.

I'm still excited that I have a car now. My first and I'm 24. The freedom is amazing. Ugh, but being hungry with my new found freedom sounds....expensive. Ugh.

Gonna fly solo before work. Although I'm tired, its shaping up to be a decent day.

I can't say my day was exceptional, but it certainly was one of the better ones.

My girlfriend came over and I made her a delicious breakfast fit for royalty and then we played some Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. You know, the one with the super memorable name.

After a couple hours flew by, we decided to go get some lunch before she dropped me off at work. She wasn't really that hungry and I was almost out of money so the best place to get cheap meat bi-products is, you might of guessed it, Taco Hell! We go through the drive through and I get my delicious plastic chicken covered in what might be a corn wrap burrito and she gets a small drink. I hand the clerk my card and as we kind of live in a less-than-optimal neighborhood I checked my statement to make sure nothing was missing from my account and guess what! Nothing yet!

We get to my work 'parking lot'. I use that term loosely because it doesn't really have a parking lot but most people use the parking lot by the Mississippi river for some weird restaurant to get to my building. We park under a tree and after we sit through some awkward conversation we mutually decide to go to the back seat to... you know.

She comes up to my office with me and she meets my boss for the first time. Which might of been awkward if my boss knew that she was the daughter of the president of the organization I work at but she got fired but thankfully he did not!

I walk the gf out and say my good byes then sit at my desk for hours on end, waiting to lend a hand being the highschool intern and such. Then after browsing reddit for a few hours, my eyes start itching and burning so I take my break and walk down to the local drug store for some eye drops. Now normally, I hate anything going into my eyes. My eyes start watering profusely and I chicken out. Desperate times call for desperate measures. With $12/hour on the line for browsing reddit most of the day, I can manage, right? Wrong! I got the drops into my right eye and I nearly started crying! After a few minutes of wiping my eye with a paper towel from a definitely questionable bathroom I go for the left eye because the right feels so good. And again, after another few minutes it feels amazing.

TL;DR Did stuff with gf and started crying when foreign objects came into contact with my eyes
