Right up until I saw Sabaton live, and I had to buy new pants.

Sabaton live is amazing.
I wanna see them again.

Saw Sabaton/Nightwish a couple years ago; so good.

I did the poll about Uber. Because fuck Uber. Austin kicked them out once and it allowed small, local ridesharing companies to do great. Also cabs in Austin are cheap, anyways. Uber is... no. Just no.

Good to know cabs are cheap. Here in Seattle-region I've used Lyft because a) better than Uber, b) cabs are not cheap.

I'm easy.

Just be in lust with @Coin.

@Ghost
Damnit...I can't unhear, or unsee that now... Volbeat as Cher

I've listened to Volbeat and Cher songs back and forth and now the only thing I'm mad about now is how much Cher I've just listened to, but they sound completely different y'all.

What the shit are you guys smoking and why aren't you sharing?!

If it's me I will ruin it in like, 30 seconds. Don't worry.

If it's me, I'll disappoint you in less time than that.

iykwimaityd.

(It's not anyone on this forum. sorry bbs.)

whatever, give it time.

It’s true. Coin is totes my sempai now!

A friend came in from out of town yesterday to go to lunch and she also gave me advance-housewarming gifts. Like, insanely generous ones. I have a Google Home now!

...and also a snitch (as in from Harry Potter) fidget spinner. I didn't know they made such things. And if I had, I would have lusted after one. It is amazing and almost as giddy-fun as the Google Home.

And fuck instant grits.

And fuck polenta.

And an extra fuck you to anyone who tries to conflate cream of wheat and grits.

Man, I pity your taste buds if you hate polenta because that means no one's made it right for you.

I've tried making it for myself and it was super 'meh' and the name is really close to placenta so it falls solidly into 'NOPE' territory.

Since you ruined polenta for me (because I will now always see placenta instead of polenta), I will ruin something for you.

Imagine The Offspring as always being sung by Weird Al Yankovic, because Dexter Holland's voice isn't so different.

Yeah, that has no effect on me.

Fellas: the color of your lips is (supposedly) the same color as your member!
Ladies: the color of your areola is (supposedly) the best color of lipstick for you! So get to color-matching!

(In my case they already fell into the spectrum of lipstick I already wear most often, so I guess I am fashionista..)

@Meg said in RL Anger:

ok but like, I hate getting crushes on internet people?? I don't even know how I am so susceptible to them.

Except that I genuinely care about all of you fuckers so. I guess I know how.

If it's me I will ruin it in like, 30 seconds. Don't worry.

@Tinuviel said in Things We Should Have Learned Sooner:

@Auspice I said no excuses! Make it happen.

@Tinuviel said in Things We Should Have Learned Sooner:

@Auspice Oh hey we need to RP soon. I don't care, no excuses. Get it done.

I actually legit want to RP with you, but you're never on anymore you ass.

@Scorn said in Things We Should Have Learned Sooner:

"It's okay to say no."

This is the one I am terrible at. So terrible. I end up with way too much on my plate all the time or in arrangements that I'm unhappy with (like plots, RP groups, etc.) because I don't want to disappoint people.

@Tinuviel said in Things We Should Have Learned Sooner:

@Auspice The same holds true for that crush you've been meaning to talk to.

Yes/no. Because they can affect a social circle, depending upon their placement in said social circle already, y'know? Things do become more fiddly in that case and I will totally admit that.

I do think a person should still go for it! And if they do pull more than a no then they were not worth your time in the first place.

The worst a potential employer can say is no.

I am the most anxious bundle of anxiety in the world and I can handle interviews and applying for jobs without breaking a sweat because of this tidbit of knowledge. It's so simple, but it was something someone told me when I was about 18 and it just sort of sank in like a '...huh, you're right.'

And every so often, I remind myself and it's this instant sense of calm.

They cannot do anything else. They cannot affect me in any other way. My life will not change in any way, shape, or form.

The worst they can say is no.

Cream of Wheat is wheatygritz

Job response was a 'No, but...' in an understandable way. The team lead (who was going to be interview #2) wants to fill the empty seat ASAP rather than waiting a month.

I get this, I totally do, and I do not resent them in the least.

So I was told: call us when you've moved and we will get you into an interview as soon as we have another opening.

I am okay with this. That is about as positive as you can get. That is being told 'We think we want you, but we want you to be signing paperwork as you walk out the door if we decide we like you.'
