When it all clicks and the writing is so good in a scene, it's literally breath-taking. And you sit and stare a while, between poses, after poses, spending long minutes weighing your response because it's all valuable, it means something to these characters, this story, connects it all into something greater. Like a chess match with feelings and prose. Just ... wow.

Yeah. That was awesome.

@Kestrel said in A bit of trouble on Firefly:

I have a strong preference for:

Hey those are my boobies how did you get that

Still struggling to price my work but now it's a practical problem. How much silver is in each piece? No I can't weigh them now because there's a stone in it that's clearly not metal and per weight it's a lot higher in cost than the metal. What? Find the receipts for the materials I used? Uh. Gas and oxygen tanks I went through to make it? Man.

And then let's not forget that the price of the metal fluctuates all the god. Damn. Time. So do I need to write the cost of each item in relation to what the silver I used cost me at the time, or current market value today even if the amount I originally paid per ounce is different? Is it better if the metal cost more then and less now or vice versaAAAAGGHHHHH

I would use their card to buy a bunch of these.

And send them to so many people anonymously.

Fifteen bucks for a bag of gummies?! It had better be a big fucking bag.

It isn't. We bought some just for fun and it was a tiny little single-serving size bag.

I would still do it. Sometimes you need to send someone a bag of dicks. Even if it's a tiny bag. Size doesn't matter because IT'S THE MESSAGE THAT COUNTS.

@Kanye-Qwest said in A Lack of Imagination:

@Auspice man what. I can hear, see, smell and taste things in my imagination.

Supposedly your tongue knows the texture of everything around you without actually licking it. Imagine licking a piece of wood with bark, or the pavement, or fur, or a glass pane. You should be able to imagine what that texture experience would be like with a decent amount of accuracy even if you've never don't it. Or maybe it was one of those things we licked as babies and we don't remember but our tongue does?

Trying to price the things I make. Knowing there's got to be a balance between the sheer joy of someone wearing my work and charging enough money for each piece, and having it completely escape me and hating that I'm some how devaluing my art and making my craft completely unsustainable at this rate. Hate everything today. I love myself more than this but not making it work today.

When the @Herja gets an idea and runs full tilt with it and even with ample warning you are not prepared. It's like a brain-orgasm and it's fucking glorious.

APPARENTLY. REAL FRIENDSHIP INVOLVES SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER IN ALL CAPS. THAT IS WHAT THIS MEANS. PAGES AND PAGES OF RAGING AGGRESSIVE AFFECTION. AAAHHHH.

@herja I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I don’t want them to be valid I want them to be gone.

This needs to be a t-shirt.

I'd buy it in every color.

@Darren Look, I can always get take-out for dinner. So.

I don't know how I feel about this given you salivate over everything I cook.

I imagine she just thought ‘I have @SinCerely so I don’t need to-‘ wasn’t appropriately helpful commentary, since she is being stingy and not cloning you so we can all have one.

I was going to argue with you about this but then realized... She has a lot of perks. Personal jeweler, decent cooker of things...

Dang you're right. Bitch is spoiled.

@Sunny Feels are pretty stupid but yours are all valid.

When people tell me how amazing my storytelling bestie buddy is. I mean I already know she is but I never get tired of hearing it.

on WoW, he was my GM and I traded soundbytes for enchant materials

<curiosity ensues>

Mostly parody dirty talk with World of Warcraft metaphors. 'Epic purple two-hander', 'one-man raid with legendary drops'. It was hilarious and successful in ways I didn't intend.

All of my serious adult relationships started online. Met my first boyfriend in an IRC RP chat, that was 8 years of glorious fun and he's still one of my best friends. Met my husband on WoW, he was my GM and I traded soundbytes for enchant materials. Poly, so met another SO in an MU*. I don't know what to do with people I meet in real life other than to feed them and give them coffee. I'm too awkward to express attraction if it's not somewhere I can delete and correct before hitting enter. Dating sites give me the willies but I do like the social personals app Lex.app, because I can meet friends that way. Still poly but dating? I can't remember how to do that.

@TheOnceler This. This one. This one is my favorite so far and they're all pretty fucking glorious oh my god.

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

Garbage on Facebook about how x idiotic fad diet, 1 weird trick & 2 cups of chamomile tea a day or whatever cure anxiety.

I shouldn't let it get to me, but it really does. I want to throw rocks at it.

I gave up Facebook for the election year. Best decision ever so far. I might not go back.

@Roz see now I want to tell my embarrassing caught-having-sex story.
