I love my boy, and couldn't ask for better. But if I had to get another dog, and could choose.. I would totally want a Pitsky

@snackness So damned cute.

@cobaltasaurus OOOOOOOOOH my god. Sooooo damned cute.

@snackness is he a german shep/boxer mix, or something?

I have bookmarked things. But I still don't have the motivation to make the thing.

I am in a terrible spending spiral, and ordering out way too much. Like how lazy am I, when I can't fucking be arsed to boil pasta?

David Giler, 77. He produced a bunch of Tales from the Crypt stuff, and Aliens. May he rest well

I remember arguing it too. The teacher was a dick, and threatened to send me to the principal. Later that year, he told me to get my 'little ass' in my seat. .. I sort of told him to Fuck off and flipped him the bird as I sailed out of the classroom (defiance disorder in full effect, yo). There had been a fight in the stairwell on my way to class, and I had been knocked into pretty hard, and dropped my books and papers. He'd said I could go get them, and then the bell rang as I was heading to do so. That's when it happened.

So uh, I had to repeat that year's English class. The next year, the teacher thought me arguing how it wasn't a love story was awesome. I got SO MUCH extra credit, that year.

I had so many teachers that learned to let me read my own books. Because I knew what they were talking about. Generally once they tried to 'get' me a couple times, and I would sigh and answer them correctly, they let it go.

Both my sisters went and got their hair done. One cut it shorter than it's been in... like 2 decades. The other went super blonde. They both look fantastic.

I want my hair trimmed up. I'm terrified of bleaching it at home, and want it done so I can dye it purple.

@ganymede Now I wonder if this was why, for a long time, I wanted to pursue it.

@Too-Old-For-This I relate to your story, soooooo much.

High school - it was always about my 'potential'.
One of my first jobs - factory line work. Repetition galore. I would literally lose time. Nod off... it was horrible.
I have had too many jobs, over the years.

My job now? My boss understands I'll go full speed for a while, then need to take a break to do something else. My office mate? He understands that letting me have one earbud in, lets me get soooo much of the work done (and he has to do less). I'd like to stay here. A LOT. I'm terrified of messing it up.

If only someone had realized WHY I was 'slacking'.

@ganymede I appreciate the textual equivalent of a lawyer cat-boy pat on the shoulder.

(Sadly, a lot of things 'wrong' with me, come from parental abuse. And my therapist left my insurance network before Covid hit, so I'm flailing)

I do have to say my credit /has/ been getting better. Woo making slightly better money.

@too-old-for-this Oh so much of this. I LOVE buying things for other people. I was suuuper anxious for my co-worker to open her present at the zoom party yesterday. I wanted her to like it sooooo bad.

@faraday I thought there was just something /wrong/ with me.

I may be crying. I mean, I have enough power to make sure all the needs are met before wants, but..

@auspice So it isn't that I'm just a horrible money manager? I really buy these things I want, because it gives my brain a hit?

@silverfox See, I don't drink often, anymore. I was on meds that made drinking a pretty big no-no and a diabetic besides. I think that's why my boss was like "She sent you what?" lol

The Dew was not diet, so my roommate got it.

@tnp Ha! Nope.

Two women run the office, in fact.

I think my roommate has been concocting stories, when he supposedly calls about getting another apartment here. Because they can't qualify for even a 1 bedroom with the new 'system' supposedly being used.

@macha - It was not, in fact, booze. She got me gift cards for my favorite video game, and a bottle of Mtn Dew.
