I should also make mention that this involves my friends from the arts collective I'm a part of. For those who are aware and/or have met them.
Figured I would post a more updated link with both info and registration all in one. https://www.cascadiaconvergence.com
Trade?
I currently have an Asus ROG G752V gamin laptop I hardly use. It's a beefy pizza box of a computer that is great for 3D graphics work. I installed Ubuntu and that resulted in a heaphone jack incompatibility that is simply a driver issue. Reinstalling windows would resolve the issue.
I'm interested in trading it for a 2 in 1 laptop tablet with a stylus such as a Surface Pro 4 or Lenovo Yoga given I'm more of a 2D artist and not much of a gamer.
Thank you all, love you all!
I'd like to remind folks that I have a dragon.style account for my longer and more in-depth introspections here. Cheers!

Sugar Demons
Since I went on this whole venture to cut vices out of my life, I feel like the biggest hurdle so far is cutting sugar out of my diet. Coupled with intermittent fasting.
A part of me feels like my biggest mistake is doing this while Mercury is still in retrograde. A state where everyone's synapses short out for a month and we all go through our own personal hell.
Cutting all of these toxic substances out of my diet seems to have had horrible effects in my ability to communicate with people. In turn it's leaving me stuck in constant worry about alienating my friends.
I know I'm not the only one who's going through tough times right now... As much as I want to help out I feel like I'd only make things worse.
A part of me feels as if whatever demon I kept suppressed through sugar and carbs is putting up an illusion. That all of this is not real and it's just another form of trickery to make me fall off the wagon.
The only reason I made it this far was because I didn't give the devil advance notice. Now that I'm far into the game, it's become desperate.
I feel that if it can't sabotage me, it'll sabotage my friendships, my progress in life, anything it can do to make me miserable.
I'm fucking sick of it. I just want it gone. I want it out of my head. I want to move on with my life and not wallow in thoughts of self doubt and depression. All I feel is bitterness... Not just in my feelings, but as a taste in my mouth... Whatever nasty and disgusting toxins are leeching out of my system, and they aren't happy that I'm evicting them.
Sugarless Insanity
Sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine. That's abundantly clear in how much it's fucked with my brain chemistry over these last few days...
My spoons are practically zero and I look forward to simply running up and down the Washington Coast like a raving lunatic this weekend.
OCD Addenum
Because what good does throwing it back do? I'll use it to my advantage to grow a beautiful garden.
Dogma Destroys, Karma Creates
Having an open mind and ever changing opinion is karma. To unleash a personal attack on someone's character and spread gossip is dogma.
Dogma is an easy route to satisfaction, which in the long term comes back in the form of their own self destruction.
Karma, on the other hand, takes patience. It pays off in the long run to treat others the way you want to be treated. If someone treats everyone like shit, then they're gonna get shit in return.
Drama
I'll have none of it. Plain and simple. I work on staying preoccupied with meatspace to the point of not caring about it. If by some reason a part of my obsessive-compulsive mind latches onto some frivolous bullshit? It's a reminder that I'm not being productive enough, so it's time to get out there and do some shit! Shine bright in a sea of darkness!
I couldn't resist sharing the image more directly.
It me! (not my commish, just my aesthetic) :-D

To be even more specific on the variant of responses. Reflect the energy like a mirror, store it like a battery, or dissipate it into rainbows like a prism. With negative energy, dissipation is preferred.
