Did I missed the ribbon for the last chapter break ? *Looks at Tr, confused*
Ahah no you didn't, the ribbon for the chapter break that ends today/tomorrow/in a few hours is available. ^-^  I might be cheating by having it on my signature already, but the new chapter is soooo close!
Edit: I'm totally not cheating! The chapter break is OVER!!!

Knitting is fun and soothing for me, putting together the different pieces isn't. At all. *Undoes and starts again*

I just got back from Comic-con, and I bought rune-engraved leather things, and a new pocket watch! It was tons of fun! I also saw many amazing cosplays including Edward and Winry from FMA, Kirito and Asuna from SAO, a lot of AOT scouts, and a group of titans, a bunch of elves, and some dressed like The Division! It was amazing!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I recognize about three of the names on that list. Then again, I have something of a mental block when it comes to recognizing older actors, specifically because of someone from the older generation constantly trying to shove it down my throat. Turns out, when I was let alone and exposed to the actors of my own generation and allowed to get invested in them on my own initiative because I was actually interested, turns out that I'm perfectly capable of learning actors' names. Seriously, who'd have thought! /mikkel

I bet they were saying that in Rome.  And Egypt. And Sumer.  And probably during the Shang Dynasty.

Etc.

Well, it's here instead of the Comfort Corner, because I know it's really a minor kvetch/whinge, but I think it got to me more than it otherwise would have because: 1) I was in The Line That Never Moves at the supermarket; 2) I hate being in a crowd of strangers at the best of times; and 3) I was well on the way to one of my allergy headaches, which has never made me more patient or tolerant, I'm sorry to say.

I wasn't trying to "shove them down your throat"; I was asserting that they were, as I said, as good as or better than Harrison Ford. I'm sorry if you took it the former way instead of the latter.
