Relationship issues 1

It’s really hard to figure out what I need when I just get frustrated talking to you. And I think wiser people would advise me to take space (which I am) away from the situation and come at it with a clearer mind and a more loving heart. 

But I hate space so much. I want to be with you and I want to be able to support you. I want to be that pillar of support. But in doing so, I just get so frustrated and angry and the pit of my stomach wants to strangle you. So I guess we’re going with the space thing. 

So the things I suspect I want right now, that I’m more or less convinced you’re unable to provide (but since it might not even be the case that these are things i need/things that would help me, it doesn’t seem fair or appropriate to ask you for it as you’re so busy.): 

1. I think I need you to TELL me you need me. That you need my support. That you need someone to complain to, that you need someone to be understanding and loving and just there. I think I need you to tell me you need to talk to me, on the condition that I have to act as lovingly as I possibly can. I really just want you to make me feel like you need me.

2. I think I’m being pushed away, and I think that’s making me push you away more than I would have originally wanted. And I think a good compromise to this is just to talk for a little bit relatively soon, but I know I’m too petty for this. I’m pretty spiteful and I’m gonna commit to this really dumb idea of pushing you away until I inevitably explode. So, honestly. You just need to be like: “Can you stop.” Because I’m not all too sure I should. So if *you’re* the one who tells me, i can be convinced. 

3. For now, and only for a little bit until I regain my composure, I need to stop feeling like I’m working hard in this relationship. I need to stop feeling like it’s hopeless, and it’s hard, and I’m putting too much effort for nothing. So. I want/need loving words that make me feel like you’re the one putting in effort. I want you to tell me you love me, and that you need me, and that I’m oh-so-important. Just. Words of affirmation. Words of love. Sweet nothings would work too. Just something.

Cheap, small carbon nanotubes

Imagine a box you plug into the wall that cleans your toxic air and pays you cash.

That’s essentially what Vanderbilt University researchers produced after discovering the blueprint for turning the carbon dioxide into the most valuable material ever sold – carbon nanotubes with small diameters.

Carbon nanotubes are supermaterials that can be stronger than steel and more conductive than copper. The reason they’re not in every application from batteries to tires is that these amazing properties only show up in the tiniest nanotubes, which are extremely expensive. Not only did the Vanderbilt team show they can make these materials from carbon dioxide sucked from the air, but how to do this in a way that is much cheaper than any other method out there.

These materials, which Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Cary Pint calls “black gold,” could steer the conversation from the negative impact of emissions to how we can use them in future technology.

I love how the newer Animal Crossings have these really lax and beautiful tunes at night to sort of ease you into not staying up too late

and then there’s the Gamecube Animal Crossing

“HEY YO EVERYBODY IT’S 2AM LET’S JAM”

[cliffracer]

to be entirely fair to GCN animal crossing, this song perfectly encapsulates the brain state of anyone awake at 2 AM

Functional Book Shelves and Tables Constructed From Fallen South American Trees by Sebastian Errazuriz

Artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz’s has created conceptually and physical stunning furniture, which pays homage to nature’s oldest beings, trees. Errazuriz follows the natural veiny shape of branches and trees to manifest the Tree Table and book shelf. He implements fallen trees from the South American forests in each piece. The artist simultaneously readapts the fallen branches, while maintaining the tree’s original shape and integrity intact.
