If you just want a charming show to watch or play in the background, this is it.
I'm pleasantly surprised it got a season 2 and know what I'm watching tonight.

If you need a show to watch, I HIGHLY recommend Centaurworld on Netflix. It's goofy and ridiculous but has a great payoff.

According to my neighbor, whenever my dog is outside and starts barking, her cat jumps onto the windowsill and starts meowing back. Sorta like they're having a conversation.
It's a cute thought but knowing my dog, I highly doubt he's saying anything pleasant. I'm not going to tell her that though.

If you hated group projects in high school I'm here to tell you they never get easier. College just adds in extra complications like GroupMe and Google Slides. My group never sent me the link to either so now I get to play catchup!🙄
At least I don't have to see them face to face so they'll never know how much I hate them right now.

I recently quit my job at a tex-mex place and figured I'd list some of the more interesting things that happened in the 4 years I was there.
An older lady got mad that I didn't speak Spanish since I worked at a "Mexican" restaurant. (Mind you, it's fast food tex-mex that's just slightly better than Taco Bell.)
The same lady didn't like the enchiladas she was served and when I had a hard time understanding her mumbling, she exclaimed, "You don't understand Spanish! Do you not get English too?"
Once I let my coworker convince me to run to the liquor store in the same shopping center as us for her on my break to get her some of those $1 vodka bottles. The lady behind the counter happened to know my assistant manager and told me to tell him hi. I didn't.
Our district manger was happy about something our store did and sent a picture of me holding a sign to the others as an example. He called me by the wrong name.
When I was having trouble with our brand new, super buggy app that a customer was showing me, the guy behind them decided to call me stupid. They got upset on my behalf and made him apologize.
We were getting a lot of rain and water started leaking onto some of our wiring. After a customer pointed out that some of our lights were smoking above the register, my assistant manager at the time decided it would be a good idea to tell me, "Don't worry! If you get electrocuted, we'll call an ambulance!"
That same assistant manager randomly left one night and never came back, leaving us without anyone in charge.
Because I have short T-Rex arms, I had to climb on a chair in order to refill the ice in the soda machine. The handle on the bucket I was using snapped midway up one day while I was doing it. Ice went everywhere, I nearly cracked my head open, and I just remember thinking oh sh*t.
Our store got our TV remote confiscated because we would change the channel to local games when asked and would forget to change it back to a corporate approved channel. A couple came in and asked if we would change the channel and when I explained that we couldn't, they threw a fit and threatened to call corporate on me.
The numerous times someone cracked the glass in the patio doors with a chair because they wouldn't lock properly.
When a drunken idiot drove their car through the drive-thru wall and left a huge hole.
When one of our cooks caught a guy in the women's bathroom peeing down the floor drain instead of one of the toilets next to him.
When a lady came in with a buggy, my assistant manager and I both thought it was a baby and were extra careful to be quiet. It was a chihuahua.
The regular that would drive a golf cart to the store and have his German Shepherd chill out in the back seat while he came in and ordered.

My dad showed me this episode of the Twilight Zone as a really young girl and I remember bursting into tears at the end. The unfairness of it all really got to me. Even now in my mid twenties I have to fight the urge to cry watching it.
It's one of the most famous episodes of the series and I can honestly see why.

I sort of hate this current trend of authors writing "badass" female characters and trying to pass them off as snarky, sarcastic, or feisty, when in reality, they're just assholes.
Why am I suppose to root for you when you are so unlikable that it would be more satisfying to watch you get your butt kicked?Especially when you want to pick a fight at every corner and have serious anger management issues. Having a smart mouth and an allergy to being helped or showing weakness does not equal a strong heroine.
These characters are honestly boring because most authors have decided that "badass" is the only personality to exist. There isn't much, if any, variation from book to book. And that usually leads to someone I can't stand and could never see myself being friends with if they were real.
I might be in the minority here but I relate more to the soft spoken, damsel in distress types. The ones that are strong in less conventional ways. They may not do well on a battlefield but that doesn't automatically make them weak.
I wish there was more variety in books and a recognition that not every girl wants to be a powerhouse and that that's okay. Some girls prefer being saved and there's nothing wrong with that.

Seeing all these posts and articles about Midnight Sun has reminded me of how much I really don't like Stephenie Meyer.
This isn't me shitting on the Twilight books, by the way. As embarrassing as it is now, I loved them as a pre-teen and they are a big reason why I love vampires now. They had an influence, whether I like it or not. This is solely me talking about Meyers as a person.
I'm taken back to when I was fourteen and over the moon excited about a book from Edward's point of view being written. Seeing all the classic events through his eyes? Yes, please! Then the drama of the draft getting posted online happened...
Don't get me wrong, I understand why she was so upset. As someone who writes, I know how much an author's writing means to them. You put so much thought and effort into getting the words just right and creating this amazing world. It becomes a part of you. It's like your baby. And having someone you trust take that before it's ready and publish it online for the world to see?
I can't imagine.
I remember me and a friend visiting her website and reading how crushed she was and how she wasn't sure she could finish it now and how since people had already seen it, she might as well post the first few chapters.
What stands out to me all these years later was how judgemental she was to her fans- most of which were young teens like myself- chewing us out for reading it even though it wasn't a legal version and hurting her in the process. How we'd basically forced her to upload these chapters since they couldn't be published now.
Even then I remember thinking that depending on where it got uploaded, people could have easily just thought it was a well written fanfiction. I know she was deeply hurting but lashing out at your readers like that? That's not okay.
It stings when an author you highly respected treats you like you don't matter. Like all the love you had for her work is meaningless in the face of, not what a fan did, but what someone in her inner circle did.
She was angry someone she trusted to read the draft betrayed her and thought attacking everyone was a good idea.
That's what cemented the impression that she really didn't care about her fans. That and the few interviews of her I've watched, she always seems, I don't know, cold? Distant, disinterested? She just doesn't have a very welcoming vibe to her at all.
Another reason is she comes off as really flaky and unreliable to me. Almost like when she has an idea, she'll work on it but if she gets bored, she doesn't bother to finish.
Anyone remember a book called The Host that was supposed to be the first in a series that never happened? No explanation why and any reference to the second book was quietly removed from her site after being up there for years.
She has a bad habit of announcing and teasing things that never happen. Not the most appealing trait in an author I would want to follow and support.
I haven't read Midnight Sun and probably won't unless I can get a used copy for dirt cheap. Her actions back then killed any desire I have to spend money on her work. And now she's saying she has ideas for two more books. Who's to say when those are going to happen.

The Weirdest Thing I've Ever Seen
So I work at a fast casual place that serves alcohol and naturally we have a happy hour to go along with it. This guy comes in and gets a beer and frozen strawberry margarita.
No problem, easy enough. The thing is, our margarita machine is old and a piece of crap so only one side works right. So to do strawberry, I have to manually add the strawberry puree to the lime, creating more of a swirl.
The guy asks for extra puree on top, not that unusual, and walks off with his drinks. About ten minute later I'm out on the patio checking tables and collecting trays and see this fuzzy white thing wiggling in the corner.
The guy from earlier not only brought in his freaking dog but was letting it lick the extra strawberry puree off the top of his margarita.
*I did tell my manger and was basically told that TABC doesn't have a law against it so just leave it alone.

Mom and Dog
So my mom's a cake decorator and is always spilling stuff on her pants. The other day, she came home covered in frosting and without thinking left her dirty jeans on the floor of her bathroom to wash on her next day off.
Well, at some point our dog wandered up there without us noticing and decided to help himself and in the process of licking off as much frosting as he could, chewed a massive hole in her pants😂
Naturally Mom was pissed.
Duke knows when he's been naughty and when Mom started scolding him, he started whining and I just hear her saying, "Why are you crying? I'm the one that should be crying! You ate my pants!"
She didn't stay mad for long btw. He gave her kissies and sucked up and she got over it real fast.

Random Work Convo #1
Coworker: So you know how I said my sister was taking my cat to the vet?
Me, distracted: Yeah?
Coworker: Guess what she told her.
Me: Uhh...
Coworker: She's still overweight. So now she only gets half a can in the morning and the other half at night.
*Said cat is VERY food motivated and is known to meow at his door as early as 5 in the morning for breakfast and won't stop until she's fed.*
Me: She is going to hate you.
Coworker: Pray for me.

Being Aro For Me...
Obviously from the title, I'm on the aromantic spectrum( grey aro if we're getting into specifics). I get crushes but have no interest in being in a relationship and I don't like typical romantic gestures like cuddling or having my hand held.
That does not automatically mean I am romance repulsed! Romantic novels are some of my favorite to read, especially anything paranormal. I also love a good romcom movie. I just don't like it directed at *me*.
Since it's June, I just want to talk about how I came to figure out that's what I was because maybe it'll help someone else. In high school when dating became normal, I remember thinking what the big deal was. Sure, I found classmates attractive but not enough to want to go out with them. I was happy on my own and didn't feel that driving force to be with someone like other people apparently did. Where other girls could picture themselves getting married, I had an empty void.
I dismissed it, figuring it would all click into place once I found the right guy.
Jump ahead to college and I'd still never been on a date and still had no desire to change that. It's June of 2016 and I'm reading a pride post on Facebook about asexuals and how they don't experience sexual attraction and I remember thinking, "That's like me but with relationships!" And I started wondering if there was a term for what I was feeling.
Cue multiple Google searches later when I stumble on a site talking about aromanticism and how romantic attraction and sexual attraction are two different things and it's a spectrum
At the ripe ol' age of TWENTY ONE, suddenly I had a word to apply to myself and I didn't feel so lost anymore. I didn't feel like a freak of nature for not wanting what the rest of the world desperately seemed to be seeking. I wasn't weird for being perfectly content with friendships. It was a huge relief to realize that there was never going to be the "right guy". That I'm not wired for that and it's okay.
Funny enough, when I first saw the flag, my first thought was, "Oh, it's green. My favorite color is green."
It's not a label that I apply to myself very often since it doesn't really come up a lot. I have a hard time bringing it up to other people because the majority of them have no idea what I'm talking about. It doesn't bother me too much since I needed it more for the inner peace than anything. It's my truth and no one else's business.
It still feels a little strange to have a part in the LGBTQIA community and I honestly still don't feel comfortable taking that step after spending so long thinking I didn't belong because I was heterosexual. It was another huge relief to find out it was personal preference and that some aromantics don't play a huge roll in the community.
I don't think us aros share our stories enough and I guess my whole point was you are not alone. You are not weird or broken. You are you and no one else can claim that so you might as well own it.❤
