a group of friends.

Well.
True.

One of them punched me in the head on a train once.

When I was about 17? I wore one for an outing with a group of friends. Partly because someone I had a bit of a crush on was going to be there. EVEN THEN I spent more time self-conscious that I was constantly going to have a wardrobe malfunction than able to enjoy myself.

...that crush later dissipated when he decided to regale me with his pony play fetish a few weeks later. >.>

So shelf bras: never again.

Shelf bras sort of cut in halfway across my boobs. Because if I try to fit my breasts into them, the rest spill out over the top of the camisole.

Just say no to shelf bras.

MSB discussions in a nutshell.

For the first time, Falcon Heavy landed all 3 boosters.

SpaceX can deploy a satellite and return all 3 boosters... in 10 minutes.
The future is pretty cool.

Every time I have ignored a 'gut instinct' to not go somewhere, I've gotten into a bad car accident.

Like that sense of 'Maybe I shouldn't......'

So nowadays whenever I get that little inkling in myself of 'I shouldn't do that thing' I don't. I've learned my lesson enough.

@Auspice I went FWC because it got me the most time around Shohreh Aghdashloo's voice acting.

Her voice is magical.

I have been reading The Expanse since around the time the second book came out. All the characters had unique voices in my head as I read, including Chrisjen Avasarala.

And after the TV adaptation started, when the next book came out and I started reading? I just heard Shohreh Aghdashloo instead. I literally cannot even remember what voice I used to mentally hear for Avasarala; it has been completely supplanted and I can envision no other. That did not happen with any other character.

Her voice is just sooooo good.

I love her so much.
I watched season 1 of Punisher and it was like, 'Madani, you listen to your mother, SHE CAN POLITICALLY MANEUVER THE ENTIRE GALAXY YOU KNOW.'

SHE IS WHY I WANT IT BACK.
Every time I run past her on Traveler and get that little snippet I wanna cry because HER VOICE ACTING IS NOT USED NEARLY ENOUGH.

@Ghost

I didn't start playing in time for that event. They need to bring that shit back.

So I officially retired my old daily wear hoodie this year. I've been wearing it for 10? years (unless I need a heavier hoodie or a full coat...) and it's just... it's stained, the elastic at the cuffs/hem is worn out. It was time.

And to replace it....... I got the Crimson Days hoodie through the Destiny 2 rewards through my tax return before, y'know, I got fired. It arrived today and it's perfect. It's a darker purple than it looked like on the site, which I <3. I got just the right size. It's hella soft. It's not too thick (so good for living in TX). I love it.

@Pandora I had to look those up. I sew, it just looks like it's fleece, slapped together like a french pillowcase edging. But the price, ouch. If you let me know your dimensions, I have fleece and can rip you off a few. The fleece has been sitting forever on my shelf and I'd rather see it used. Also, keep an eye on joanns for fleece, day after christmas sales, their no pill fleeces go on ridiculous cheap. Like 2 bucks a yard. And coupons through the year gets you 40 - 60 % off. You can even buy heavy duty hem tape and make a no sew one, with just your iron and the hem tape.

It's fleece with a sewn diamond pattern to keep the material from shifting, a waterproof bottom layer, and a layer of organic, absorbent bamboo to hold the piggie wee. I looked into making one myself, but I don't know where to source organic bamboo fibres on this bloody island, so GuineaDad gets (all) my money.

sounds like when I looked into making my own weighted blanket. And it was like okay, the...... materials aren't too bad, but when you factor in a sewing machine that can handle it (big enough working area to maneuver in) and the time involved in doing it, it's almost easier to just buy one.

Today was decidedly unfun.

I'm glad it's over.

Tomorrow should be better.

@Ganymede

That, too.

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

@Auspice Tell me about it. When I was looking I would be getting offers to move across the country for 3 month contracts. Like I am going to pick up and move across the country for 3 months...

Yeah, I get tons of those. Offers in New Jersey and shit for 3-6 mo contracts. Like... really? wtf? Why would ANYONE.

Email from recruiter.
Subject line includes 'Long term contract'

In the body of the email, under 'Duration' ...... '6-12 months'

MOTHERFUCKER IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THAT LONG TERM?!

Umbrella Academy Season 2 is official, woo.

MORE KLAUS WOOO

@Ghost said in MU Things I Love:

You know what sounds like a fun idea?

Playing a character bit with MPD where the login is shared by 3 players who keep 3 different sets of notes and each prepares their own distinct personality for the character.

You'd log in and ICly people would be like: "Hey, about our text conversation last night..." and you'd be like "Urrrrgh that was Jared uhmmm..."

Or your character wakes up in bed with some gorgeous other player in the bed.
"Good morning."
"Ohhhh hey...good morning..."
"Janet."
"JANET right..."

I actually discussed this as a lol concept years ago. MAYBE EVEN WITH YOU.

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

Said yet another way, could it be possible that people are petty tyrants in their minds and little shits in their behavior?

Possibly.
One of the last times I went to a buffet (I just can't eat enough in one sitting to justify the time/money/effort anymore), I remember overhearing a guy at another table justifying not leaving a tip to his family (I could tell his wife and his mother or mother-in-law were flabbergasted): "I've got to put gas in my car, so they can deal!"

Well, buddy, maybe you shouldn't have gone out to dinner if you couldn't afford both!

Also reminds me of the time I was sitting and waiting for my ex-husband to get off of work (he worked at an Applebees at the time) wherein I witnessed a man run back in after his wife dragged him out in her snooty snitfit over refusing to leave a tip. He'd feigned forgetting his hat........ all so he could come back and leave a generous tip, apologizing for her all the while.
