Not much. Just wanted to get something new on my page, but I didn't have anything productive to say. XD

Damn, I hate the vacuum. xC

It's an infernal device.

It's too loud! D:

Loud, not in the least bit maneuverable, the cord is never long enough, it's always full, and I should probably use it today. It's all around an evil device, I say!

Carpets should just clean themselves, that's what I think.
And dishes.

Agreed. Wholeheartedly. And can I have a self-mowing lawn too?

YES.

I just want to say that this conversation between you two is full of potential and science should pursue these ideas with much vigour, for the benefit of humanity...and FOR SCIENCE!

This reminds me of a certain joke:
"The day Microsoft makes something that doesn’t suck is the day they start making vacuum cleaners."

In any matter, good to see that you're alive.

XD That's a good one.

Indeed, I still appear to have a pulse. It's rather persistent, but the doctors insist that that's normal.

How are ya?

Yes, all that blood flowing through the caffeine stream does seem to be a rather persistent pest, doesn't it?
Hmm...as for the question...I have no way of adequately answering that, so let's just say I've had my ups and downs as per usual with a bit more downs than ups.
And you?

Oh I'm the same as ever, haha. Not quite up, not quite down. Just sort of watching time go by, as usual. Though part of that might be because I'm only half-conscious. My sleep schedule has had me waking up at precisely 5am every day for the past week, no matter when I'm getting to sleep.

I know the feeling, although with me it's usually been that I'd only ever go to sleep at a certain time regardless of how tired I was hours before then. Still, as of late I'm sleeping in a lot later and I'm still tired...*shrugs*
Not quite up, not quite down, but neither in-between nor both; just suspended in a void, unaffected by the flow of time, huh? At least there's some predictability and stability in such a state, I guess.

Predictability and stability, perhaps, but with it also comes stagnation.

Just like the Dark Ages (well, most would probably say regression rather than stagnation there, but it can be argued either way), huh...
Every choice, answer and path in life comes with costs, a toll, a downside. There is no action to be taken that would result in endless benefits.

Now, see, this is exactly what I mean when I say I've no connection to time. This has been waiting for 4 days for me to reply to it, and yet it feels like it was just yesterday that I was last on here.

If it weren't for the Dark Ages we'd probably have warp drive and be exploring the galaxy by now. XD

That's true, though I personally would prefer some form of progress, even with any repercussions it might carry, to stagnation. At least, intellectually speaking. I think part of me, purely on the emotional level, fears progress, because of its unstable nature.

I'm getting a weird duality when it comes to time at the moment. With some events I'm experiencing them as you are: they happened a lot longer ago than it feels like while with others they've only lasted a short time but it feels much longer. But as I'm going to be re-entering education shortly, my own grip on time should start to return. I wish the same could happen to you.
If it weren't for the Dark Ages...I wonder just how much more advanced we would really be and if the darkness those times brought would actually be better than some of the alternatives had we continued to grow...We may never know. It could be that something far worse may have happened, a fall in knowledge far greater, but later on. In any case, no point worrying about alternate timeline threads running in parallel with our own.
Possibly, it is in our nature to fear the unknown and to crave security/stability. "A step in any direction, even if backwards, can be progress so long as we learn something from the regression." That which our mind understands on the conscious level and that which the mind feels on the subconscious level are two different things however and we can never be certain which will claim victory over the other in our decisions.
