My custom-made shirts were just delivered by DHL.

They are both for work.

One has foxes and daisies on it. The other has cats and moons.

I AM AN ADULT AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME. ^_^

@sunny said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

I am not sure why it makes me so happy to see lawyers talking lawyer things and helping each other like this, but it does. Warm fuzzies and everything.

Maybe the same reason I enjoy it?

It's an excellent reminder that not everyone on the internet is a mouthbreather from the YouTube comments section.

@faceless I agree! Though he'd probably just sniff it to see if it's food, and then ignore it. Like he does with many things.

At the moment, he's wearing his Christmas bandana. @insomniac7809 refers to it as his 'ascot' in an attempt to compensate for the lack of monocle.

Meet Tybalt, my Old English Sheepdog. Who is currently napping on his dog bed, right by my feet.

If you're that triggered by sex and nakedness, who knows what else triggers you. Talking about Jesus/Muhammed/Buddha? Talking about drinking beer while RPing? Mention of your favorite celebrity/author/TV show? Chevy vs Ford vs Toyota? Coke vs Pepsi?

Dancing?!?

I am so happy this was a Footloose gif. Because if it wasn't, I was going to reply -- with a Footloose gif.

My RP bestie of several years was just left by his partner of most of a decade.

He is too far away to give a "Do you kinda need to shove your face in my boobs right now?" hug.

This upsets me.

Today, I hit the snooze button on my alarm -- accidentally. With my face.

So, universe. It's going to be that kind of day, huh?

If you stop serving food 30 minutes before you close, you really need to put that somewhere on your website. Not accept orders 20 minutes before you close and then call me 15 minutes later to tell me you're cancelling my damned dinner because you won't have time to make it.

I tend to dislike mechanics-heavy systems that aren't automatically coded in. The more nuanced rules and techniques and bonuses and shit that I have to remember to do a thing, the less likely I am to be interested in it. Especially if those mechanics are dedicated almost exclusively to 97,000 different things you can do in combat. Crazy nuanced rules for all the ways you can bend reality? Fine, sure. Whatever. Not a fan, but I will deal. Crazy nuanced rules for all the different styles/methods/techniques/boosters you can use to punch Bob in the face... please just fuck off.

@auspice She was my Sera on BSO! Somewhere, I have a gif her making exploding handgestures that was subtitled "Sera Explains Very Technical Things" -- relevant, since Sera was a deckie.

@cupcake Remember, the age difference rule is "divide in half, then add seven". If they're older than that, you're fine.

@auspice ....you have far more self-control than I do.

Sometimes my brain does really dumb, awful things to me. And then sometimes my brain does really amazing, wonderful things.

Like the ridiculous shit it spits out at me first thing in the morning, pre-caffeine.

I received an email from an activist named Dan Doubet. Somehow, my morning-brain interpreted that as "Dan Douchebat." IDEFK, but sure, brain. We're going to go with Dan Douchebat. Because Dan Douchebat is amazing.

@karmageddon said in Celebrities that are Dead To Us:

And, in case it's important to note for anyone not interested in clicking the link, it's a scene from the tv series Extras. Pretty sure Patrick Stewart is an upstanding guy iRL. Would be bummed out if he weren't.

I realized what it was a few seconds in. Thank God, because there was immediate dread when I saw the reply.

Garrison Keillor (of "The Prairie Home Companion") apparently wrote an op-ed for The Post yesterday, mocking the idea that Franken should resign from the Senate for the allegations he's facing.

And.... surprise surprise, it comes out today that Keillor was just fired from his remaining radio show gigs, after harassment allegations came to light against him. <sighs>

I think I'm just going to start assuming that any male public figure over the age of 55 or so^ is a fucking pervert.

(^Except Patrick Stewart. Don't you dare let me down, Sir PatStew.)

@auspice said in MU Things I Love:

I don't think I'm a scary drunk.
I am a quiet drunk.

I tend to nestle into a corner of the couch and drink and watch everyone. Apparently it's not easy to tell I am drunk because people will frequently shove more drinks into my hand, declaring they want to 'get' me drunk or 'see' me drunk.

...I tend to end up very, very wasted by the end of parties.

You know that whole 'standing in the bathroom, gripping the sink, and staring in the mirror while you think 'oh god how am I this drunk?' moment? That moment and I are very familiar with one another.

No, no, there's just this delicate balance of a couple drinks plus just the right amount of weed where I stop worrying about 'oh god cooking is hard' and I just... cook. I want to feed the world. Everything in the kitchen becomes full of possibility.

High Aria discovers the tasty gourmet spreads and spices and sauces she bought and then promptly shoved in the cupboards, unsure of how to use, and decides that we're going to try things now.

There is an entire story about how, on my 21st birthday, I became unreasonably excited about a jar of apple butter and managed to alarm an entire house full of people with my gleeful shouting from the kitchen.

....High Aria is not allowed to cook anymore.

My tummy has felt all woozy and gross since lunch today.

Normally, I would just assume that the turkey wrap I ate was off and chalk it up to that. However, I've also been feeling excruciatingly bleh about work lately, including the fact that none of my applications to internal job postings have gone anywhere for nine months, and a latent fear that despite my annual review having been just fine, my managers don't actually like me -- which I bring up because my stupid anxiety-brain does stuff like that to me, because.... I dunno. It's decided I can go fuck myself, I guess? It also pretty much turns my stomach into a ball of nauseated aching whenever I'm in D.E.N.I.A.L. about a stressor I'm hardcore ignoring and the bout of anxiety attacks that's sure to follow.

So I'm pretty much just mad at myself and my dumb brain for currently being unable to determine whether I'm ill or just crazy.

...Can someone bring me some Pepto and a reality check, please?

Hey, I remember Sera. I played Diomedes on BS:O. How's it goin' Ser-bear? I'm also on Arx as Cesare.

Ohhh, hey, man! I think I gave you a praise at Alaric's wedding or something. What's up?

I hate Zak Snyder.

Hate.

HATE.

That is all.

@miss-demeanor Eating within about the first two hours of waking up -- unless I skipped dinner entirely the night before, and sometimes even then -- just makes me feel ill. It's not just you. I promise.
