It's so hard to go to sleep when you need to be up soon.
I end up staying up until it's like, uh, Ari, you need to get up in 2 hours..

Facepalm moment of the day: I just put two loads of laundry in the wash, and as the washers were already going, realized I forgot to use detergent. Go me. :P

Y'know, just the agitation alone of the washing machine will do a reasonably good job of cleaning your clothes.  The only issue would be if you had specific stains*, but anything still visibly marked, you can wash again, or just spot-treat.  Really, no harm done -- it's a much more harmless mishap than if you had washed a load of clothes with something that runs.  (I did that in my early days, as have most of us, probably.)

Majestic Accordion Penguin Troll: The Origins Story

Start there and it goes on for about 2-3 pages. Then Haiz followed up with a drawing, making it all the more real.



Yessss.  Soon the Padawan will surpass the Master.  Soon.  But not yet.

*Wonders what exotic and garish stains an art student's clothes pick up...

I told my mom, and that's what she said. But any advice is/was already moot at this point... Also, it was literally all the clothes I've worn since the beginning of the month, so I didn't want to risk them being only sorta-clean since it was the majority of my clothes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, you don't even know how much paint I got on my pants and jackets. I got paint on my bedspread, my pillowcase, my headphones... and the wall next to my bed because there was some on my sock. I only have ink this year, but I've heard it's basically impossible to get out of clothes >_>

ah no, its not about the thread. it's about the page

* Piney  is annoyed that her birthday isn't until next summer
EDIT: Ooh, but it'll be my 20th... *eyebrow wiggle*

But also I feel like it isn't something you should ask for or it'll ruin the fun...

Saaame.
..Well, this coming spring. Almost summer, though.

I wish I had a winter birthday, honestly. Or a fall birthday. I don't like summer weather.

I like mine because I'll never have school on my birthday, but the disadvantage is that I'm younger than everyone else and no one knows my birthday. I'm also glad to have a birthday that's nowhere close to Christmas. (it's almost as far away from Christmas as you can get actually)

Define 'fandom famous', because I'm pretty sure most people here know who you are...... ::)

Ok but speaking of stealing birthday thunder, I've never had a birthday to myself my whole life, c'mon

S'okay. I was never one for flashy birthdays anyways. Last year I didn't tell anyone and it almost worked, but then one of the teachers found out and told the whole class and then of course everyone had to sing while I tried to hide :P

Another summer-birthday here. : D
... You could always celebrate your half-birthday instead? That would place you closer to winter, right? (Joking, joking. Or am I?)

/temporarily forgot Christmas existed


No no, I'm content with my birthday being in spring now.
S'okay. I was never one for flashy birthdays anyways. Last year I didn't tell anyone and it almost worked, but then one of the teachers found out and told the whole class and then of course everyone had to sing while I tried to hide :P

I'm not really one for flashy parties or anything anymore either. I just want to lie around, have a friend over and eat tons of ice cream, really.
I almost got away with no one noticing last year too, except..haaaa.

FIRST OF ALL, THAT TYPING
EVEN AFTER ROLEPLAYING
HOW?
THAT TYPING RATE IS ALARMING


Also, mine is in spring, kind of close to summer. May 21st. :>
