I just want to say that sometimes people aren't bragging when it sounds like it. Sometimes they are socially awkward or they are trying to create a human connection (or both). Sometimes they just don't know how to do it or realize how it comes across.

Someone: I like cats
Me: I once trained dogs in Brazil.

They are like OMG really? What does that have to with cats, but in my head - I was like cats --> animals --> dogs --> I once trained them --> Maybe they will like this and think it's neat and I can make a friend.

Bad example, but the idea behind it hopefully comes across.

A lot is text and we come with our own prejudices about how things 'come across' that the other person in no way intended. We just make assumptions based on our moods and other things when the other person is legit just trying to form a connection. Connections are hard. Finding your tribe is harder.

It is 12:12 here -- why the fuck is the 4 year old currently in my household still awake and singing loudly to herself?!

To be fair, I'm old and kinda always wanted to go to Burning Man. I haven't. I sort of want to. Except, I like comfy mattresses and really love my showers. Oh, and I don't do drugs. Yet, there is part of me that really wants to hang out and watch the subculture.

Annoyance of the moment: Me.

Why am I reading this thread and eating leftovers when I should be in bed? I should be old enough for healthy habits.

@Luna Legit is no longer a thing... YOU AREN'T BRINGING IT BACK!

This seems legit

I try do to all the things. Try. I told myself I was going to try and pick up crochet this year. We shall see.

I got my dog that way. I never thought I would have a dog (as I'm a cat person). However, he showed up covered in oil and under weight. So I took him home (rookie mistake) and bathed him. I went out looking for his owners. I took him to the vet and he was microchipped! So they called the owners and they hung up on the vet. He was only like 7 months old and a small dog. So I adopted him. He's super sweet and smart and calm. I can't imagine anyone who would just abandon a puppy.

It also really makes me sad that he's terrified of the broom. The dog loves me. I'm his safe human and if he gets scared he runs to me. If I even put my hand on the broom, he tucks his tail, gets low to the ground and tries to get out of the room.

People just suck sometimes. On the flip side, he's now my constant companion, slightly neurotic and super awesome. I became that person with dog pics on their phone. He's really my ideal dog. So their loss was totally my gain.

That moment you are on the phone with someone and your dog starts licking your foot. You pull your foot back, the dog comes with. So you finally yell at the dog, "Stop it licking my foot, I'm on the damn phone." Only you are then greeted with silence and a soft, "Do you have to go?" As well, they don't really seem to think it was your dog.

I'm glad you feel better (aka higher) @Auspice.

@Thenomain

What? Talk about something bothering you with the actual person doing it? Noooo. That is some form of magic thinking there. You mean we aren't supposed to run to other people and have them fight 'our battles' that weren't even battles?

Too much 'nog man. You know that's not how MU* communicate.

Slowly coming to grips with the realization that single-dad life being "admirable" doesn't mean it's attractive, at least in the online dating scene, in a place and time in my life where that's pretty much the only dating scene. Blegh.

How ya' doin'?

2. Yes. When two people love each other very much, God gives a diamond to the stork...

I don't know why I laughed at this so much, but I did.

What is crunchroll? I got all happy thinking sushi!

Edit: Then I see it is anime. Well played naming committee, Well played

That moment you are planning out your 2017. You are making your household binder of awesome organization (don't judge me people). You are making your gym schedule. You are making your goal chart with rewards, etc. This is all to start on Sunday. You are pumped. You are ready to go. You are even plotting out what horrible food you will eat between now and that day. Then it hits you....

You rush back through your day planner and you frown at Sunday. Horror overtakes you as the realization grabs hold. You are starting on the first of the year.

You are....

THAT PERSON.

I cut back to a mile walk today. Well a little over a mile as I'm walking hella slow and it took me half an hour. I was sore from yesterday and I'm still sick. I think I might stick with this for a bit until my body says it's good to go.

I like Couch 2 5K. It's a great app. Sadly, I can't breathe when I run. Seriously, my lungs are like NOPE and just shut down. Then I'm gasping for air and throwing up. My friend who thinks everyone should run was even like, "You know, it's okay if you are never a runner." So I've altered goals. A mile walk a day and be able to run a 5K by the end of the YEAR. I think this is more than practical.

Should I be concerned that I know I have RPed with some of you, not because of your char names, but because I'm like --- OH! That pet looks familiar.

Also... and PLEASE do this..

Whomever is invited to stay. Write it out and sign the agreement. It can be as simple as X stays X month(s) rent free. This will be re-evaluated on X date. Then have the parties sign it.

If not, you might find yourself in a legal squatter's rights issue and a pain. Now, most people are good people, but you need to defend against the other. A good person will have no issue signing an agreement.

I like to think myself a rational (usually) person. I'm not a crier IRL. I'm pretty calm IRL and laid back about most things. Until the dentist.

I break out in a cold sweat just entering. I put my nails in the arms of the chair and I start to cry and panic just being in the chair. Soooo.. yeah, I put off dental work. Which is actually horrible because it's the worst thing to put off.

My cat (RIP man, RIP) use to go INSANE for cheez-its. Normal cheese he was like meh. A box of cheese crackers and he'd lose his shit. He ate through a box once to get to them. He was also kinda like 'I guess' about chicken nuggets. I made the chik'n ones (vegan for all of you) and thought they were gross. He went insane for those too.

Obviously, my cat was a drug addict in one of his lives and needed chemicals and fake food in his diet.
