Had a nightmare in Portuguese and woke up agitated at 3am thinking in full French. Turned on the bed and saw I had a message. I spent the next 5 minutes staring at my cellphone trying to make sense of what seemed like nonsensical keymashing -until I realised I was trying to understand Spanish with an English focused brain. I just, what
Everyone admire the pen my coworker bought me because 1) I use 20 different colors for all the things in my notes and lab books and 2) I kept complaining about my pens going missing.
Well. Guess no ones gonna steal my pen now at least lol
Job Interviewer: So, do you have any special skills?
Me: Finding a single modicum of what could be considered affection between two people and then turning it into five fanfics, eight drawings, and sixteen posts about how they could get past their differences and care about each other.
do you know the feeling when you are sad over such a stupid, silly little thing? and then get even sadder because you think you are stupid because you are sad over a stupid, silly little thing and then you end up crying?
Me facing my arch enemies (classmates) again after another eternity (3 days weekend) spent with quests (wasting the day in different forests) impossible for mortals (ppl with normal time schedules), blessed by and elder god (i could finally pet the cat) and prepared for everything hell has to offer (if the teacher looks at me im leaving)
my friend may-or-may not have a new obsession with the thing I used to like with a while back, and for reasons (idk) i said i dont know the thing, but im debating telling her i actually know it. or i can keep up lying? except i dont think i can pull it off, so i might tell her???
Got a call from my bank. They said they've detected suspicious activity on my account. Cue heart attack. Hands are shaking. I call them back. They read through my recent transactions and I am forced to confirm that yes that was me at the bar in New Orleans. And that bar. And that one. And that one. Yes I bought a plane ticket to Germany from Toronto the next day. And yes I got declined at the grocery store.
My life and finances are officially so erratic that my fucking bank thought I got hacked.
My farther, the civil engineer who lit a microwave on fire ten years ago making ramen noodles: I’m caloric deficit because of my bicycle ride. I could make scrambled eggs?
Me, my so, and siblings: NO!!!!
Dad: are you deriding my culinary skills?
Me: YES.
Middle sibling: You turn on the stove, I’ll get the spices.
Youngest sibling; it’s my birthday and I’ve already done all the actual work for the party, so you two are on your own.
Dad: This sounds like a great time to explain in great detail why I’m in a caloric deficit-
Me: WHERE IS THE SOUP???
Middle sister: FOUND THE CLAM CHOWDER!!!
Dad: oh, I love manipulating my daughters. Your mother is so much harder.
(So this dialogue really does have A Lot of stuff cut out because actual real dialogue is weird and nonlinear, but it is the basis of what actually happened, and I I really did scream where is the soup, and my sibling really did run out into the living room with a can of clam chowder soup, and my dad did eat the soup because he did bicyclist stuff that involved 51 miles one way trip and being dizzy )
Woah, woah, woah, are you serious in that last post? Maybe I don't get out enough to hear it or anything but I haven't heard people call different dog breeds different species. (though I wouldn't be that surprised) And people really calling different species of birds just breeds? The fuck?
Yup. Admittedly the people who call dog breeds different species are extremely ignorant, but I've seen it. And heard it. Working in education is hell.
And it is policy on most pet sites and pet related things to lump all birds into "bird" and have different species - as disparate as a chicken and a cockatiel - called different breeds.
