rekipstar0258: if u have a startling enough alarm u start the day VERY AWAKE
tinylittlegremlin: (me today-the alarm thing)
rekipstar0258: i mean my alarm is v startling and i frequently awaken in confusion and panic of why ppl are yelling its quite effective
seawhawha: :/ i have to change my alarm fairly regularly cause i adapt to them and just sleep through them
rekipstar0258: ye i had one that was just BEEP BEEP BEEP and i adapted enough to hit snooze without waking up
seawhawha: my adaption is literally just not even noticing it anymore while unconscious
revya: You just have to set the most annoying thing you can think of as the alarm
revya: I’ve had the dave strider rapping one for like 6 years now and just the opening notes are enough to rage-punt me awake at this point
revya: You need to go on a quest to discover the true meaning of loathing is what I’m saying
revya: A BEEP BEEP is impersonal
revya: Businesslike
revya: But on the other hand you set, I dunno, the Barbie song and it instantaneously summons up the repressed memories of years of receiving dolls from elderly family members who couldn’t be bothered to make it on your birthday, didn’t know you didn’t care for them or even what age you were, the way the dolls stared w judgement as you played w your stuffed animals, your legos, and Toy Story taught you to beware their wrath, and someday you knew *you knew*
revya: They would *get* you
revya: So you got them first and your parents blamed you for the mess, can you believe? It was self defense, you say
rekipstar0258: are you ok grey
tinylittlegremlin: ... Grey r u ok
tinylittlegremlin: Do u need to talk
revya: No
tinylittlegremlin: I feel that tho a BEEP BEEP is very impersonal
tinylittlegremlin: And rage is a good motivator
tinylittlegremlin: Pfft
tinylittlegremlin: Ok im still in class
tinylittlegremlin: And this is hilarious
tinylittlegremlin: "just faceplant clip tru the floor"
revya: All I’m saying is, if you don’t want to choke your alarm to death every morning, if you don’t awake w the burning desire to see the life leave its eyes as you throttle it
revya: Then it’s not doing its job
seawhawha: i havnt found anything that can draw that feeling out of me
revya: How do you get through the day w/o hatred and spite, sounds hard
seawhawha: im just not the type of person to hate much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
tinylittlegremlin: I do it by being cheerfully optimistic!
tinylittlegremlin: Its better for ur heart
revya: Sounds fake but ok
