Ah yes, of course, at that time, I had already learnt to write, and had moved on to my thesis, as I was a far superior preschooler ;P ohohoho~
(Also I didn't mean the dream thing in a weird creepy way. Don't get the wrong idea....I meant it in a bizarre sort of way...... ;3)

Not sure what this thesis-stuff means but yeah (although it generally takes several years to "learn to write").

A comic-con sounds cool, haha but only in our dreeeeeeamssz~ (and we all know how weird the Minion's dreams get O___O)

I assume your dream convention would be bizzare in a number of ways.

Hee, I was just being a weird dork there ;) I'm the same age as Eich and ThisCat, but *sniffle* wasn't on the list ;3

Wait up, what do you mean? Do you mean..? Wha? Aw man, this is the second time in this fan base I've had to worriedly yell "I'm not being kinky! I swear!" hahaha ;____;
But the images from the last weird Minion dream still haunt my brain...the suitcase of lipglosses....the Törbjorn face-surgery.....the airport souvenirs.... *shudders*

Guys, it seems like all your pictures worked. I think I can even take that Friday lab class so I don't have to miss it. Thank you :)

I was thinking about bizarre/weird dreams like the last example. Let's not have a kinky SSSS convention please  :P

(and sorry for forgetting to put you on the list).

If you want me I'll be hiding in the bathrooms, in that building two blocks away.

Also take note, Kickstarter doesn't allow paypal, so there's that too. (That was the reason why Minna chose Indiegogo)
Umh. Actually, back with the aRTD print drive, she stated out loud that Kickstarter wouldn't accept US$-based campaigns from elsewhere but the U.S. and UK.

I am relatively used to cockroaches, given that
1. tropical climates are good for large cockroaches
2. my cat seems to love hunting them*

So yes, only two blocks.

Bonus story: one of the lifts in my office building is padded over so that construction workers can use it. One day I was in there with a few other people (mostly women), and then a cockroach appeared from the back. It was interesting how we all shifted around to avoid it, and such relief when it disappeared down the elevator shaft once the door opened.

*Cat lives outdoors as does her prey; there are no cockroaches in the house. None. NONE.

Well, now that's a lab experience I'd like to take part in. As long as the cockroaches aren't alive, obviously.

We used to have these large yucky beetles in the house, then we got spiders and all the beetles disappeared. Then we got cats and the spider population was cut down pretty hard.

But yeah, insects don't bother me.

Of course not! That'd be cruel.

I'm alright with most insects, as long as they don't get into my personal space, but I cannot handle cockroaches. I have a vivid memory of the time one flew straight at my face.  :(
I do like spiders, though, and dragonflies. I can deal with leeches with minimal flinching, too. (Giant forest millipedes, though, they're just kind of creepy.)

I'll grant you the millipedes, ich. Anything with more legs than I can easily count still creeps me out. I think the reason I don't mind cockroaches so much is that I've never actually seen one. They're not native to Norway (except one species you don't see indoors) so they're generally pretty rare.
