@Bella: Are you sure my grandmother on my mom's side didn't come to visit? That sounds very much like something she'd do :\

That .gif got me crackin' up ^z^

Glad to hear it, I've reorganized my reaction GIF folder just so I can employ more reaction images when I snark from now on. >w>;;

If it's any consolation, most of the older folks I've known have been rather retrogressive and crotchety when it comes to anything vaguely progressive (gay & trans* rights, non-traditional gender roles, non-Abrahamic religions [excluding Islam, obviously], sensitivity toward other races and cultures, etc, etc). I'm not saying liberal older people don't exist (I know several), it's just with the way a lot of them were brought up it's somewhat uncommon, unfortunately. :/

Indeed. For every person like my great uncle, you have people like my mom's side of the family...and 99% of people that live in my hometown, regardless of age :\

both my grandparent are/were quite accepting of gays and of other religions. my grandpa cracks wise about other cultures and stuff like that, but he doesn't seriously mean it. my grandma was a bit more serious about stuff like that, but more in a "confused blonde moment" sort of way. looking back on it, it was actually pretty cute. i miss my grandma....


so i'm pissed. i was having a great day, and it just kept getting better and better and better as time went on! wrote a bunch of reviews, worked on the comic a bit, got another new marker, convinced my sis to get me a plushie for my birthday and then vowed to get another one next week, paid back my mum some, and Re:Dial even came in the mail!!
but then my friend mel contacted me saying that our room arrangements for AB had fallen through and that there was nothing she could do/arrange (tbh she didn't even really try) and that i should look for alternate housing for me and the kids, IGNORING THE FACT THAT SHE IS THE ALTERNATE HOUSING.
and if that wasn't enough of a kick in the pants, Re:Dial's DVD doesn't work because my damn DVD drive is region-locked! ><;;;


the rest i'll have to take care of myself, but mind lending me a hand with the drive, OSC? full details in the computer thread. ><;

Um, handbrake it and watch it on the computer?  That sounds dumb when I type it.

Went to Rich Mountain yesterday to see the battlefield site.  Lovely view too.  Also had this delicious peanut butter pie that indescribably good at the cafeteria when I got back.

Things have gone really well this week, like, a bunch of stuff I was worried about resolved itself and nothing worse happened.  Plus I figured out some annoying IRC setting stuff and discovered I was being way too hard on the Train Dispatcher 2 staff.

glad things are going so well, and it's nice to hear from you, too. ^^

I want peanut butter pie. ;^;

For the first time in awhile, I read a comic that made my soul ache with sadness. I actually "read" through the original version on Pixiv (couldn't understand the writing, but followed along with the story from the pictures), and then found the translated version on Danbooru ... it was worse when I could understand the text ... though I must say, I'm kind of impressed that I was able to understand all but the ending in Japanese.

Here's a link, for those curious... http://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/2846

(Oh fuck, I just read it was based on a true story. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Everything hurts again.)

[Chocofreak13]

BEEEELLLLAAAAAAAA

WHYYYYYY DID YOU MAKE ME READ THAT

ALL THE SADS ;^;

I DON'T LIKE DUBSTEP (ﾉ °益°)ﾉ 彡 ┻━┻

[LeaflameSD]

I enjoy dubstep.

You know I'm tryin' to open this motherfuckin' bottle? It won't open.

[Bella]

TIL Norwegian people are hilarious.

So, I had my "panic of the day"

While driving to work to pick up my paycheck, I hear a buzzing...and realize a wasp somehow got into my truck ._________.

Thankfully, it flew off when I went inside to get my check; leaving the windows and back hatch open the entire time. Still, nothing like driving down the road when traffic is heavy and realizing you have a wasp as a stowaway >_<

[LeaflameSD]

Bees and wasps make me shit brix ;0_0;
