I'm sorry. I know that this post was about stuff (and I actually find your explanation of soft I vs hard I fascinating), but I saw the typo and now all I can think about is how "wovel" should be a name for a cute fuzzy mythical creature. I'm sorry. Continue.

And their magic power is to make people laugh, because that was absolutely hilarious.

oh my god

this is the best thing i've seen all day

Spoiler:  explanation • show

so when i moved over to my new computer after my last one started giving its dying sounds, i moved anything important over to my google drive. so when i decided to start moving my google drive stuff on to my new computer and finally got around to checking the folder, i found stuff. stuff like screenshots of games i played, some other stuff, a crappy edit of aph Italy that i deemed important, and some emo grayscale pictures that i made when i was feeling down.

yup. read that again.
some emo grayscale pictures.
some emo grayscale pictures.

there's only three of them, but when you look back at the diary i was keeping at the time, i was basically feeling like that all the dang time, they are basically unreadable because everything is grey, but i have the .xcf files saved for some reason, and they have such beauties like

"Nobody cares.

And it hurts.",

"I know what I'm thinking.

I think.",

and the greatest of the great,

"I'm not laughing.

I'm crying."

like i wish i could upload them so you could all see them in their greatest grayscale glory, but i had to pull some major shenanigans just to access the forum and i still can't do much, accessing any page is something of a miracle, and im pretty sure i have an unread message. but whatever.

Point being, past me did not have her anything together. And now? Now i can draw and im writing and people like it and i have people i can talk and i have myself mostly figured out and im just. much happier.  im happy and im doing something i want to do and m getting kinda good at it and i think i'm found a community of people i can mostly fit into and i feel great.

on the other hand, some of the screencaps i have saved are of roblox, and i would get back into the game if the community wasn't full of - to politely put it, butts, and my username has the word "girl" in it ( i don't really have a problem with it. but also. no.). but i've been playing since 2008, so i can't let all that go to waste, so i'll probably just give my account away to someone.

on the other other hand, some of the screen caps i have saved are of a dark room, but the shenanigans i pulled to get to the forum aren't working to load that page. and i am sad. but not like super sad. just kinda disappointed.

Kick, I'm so happy to hear that you feel so much better than you have in the past! And I'm happy that this forum has been a help to it! It's helped me too, I think it helps everyone who lets it. I'm always astounded that this place can be so happy and peaceful and caring when, on the whole, the Internet is not a very nice place. Anonymity has a tendency to let people do things they wouldn't normally do, for better or for worse, and I think here, it's almost always "for better." I'm sorry that you're having so much Internet trouble, I hope it resolves itself soon so you can continue to join us!

In other news, I survived babysitting. Barely. I have now decided that, no matter what happens in my life, I do not want to be outnumbered by children. One-on-one is fine, but two? A bit too much. But is all seriousness, it was a lot of fun, and I'm more than happy to be going back tomorrow

Babysitting was my little job when I was in master degree and it's a lot of good memories. The first family had two daughters who were... pretty unable to listen to me and I had to stop because of lessons too late in the afternoon. A few weeks after I began in an other family with different hours, two daughters too, who have been like little sisters for me during nearly two years. I hope I'll see the elder (Who's a young teenager now ) later this year

Woo, are you less in the middle of nowhere now? (Just wondering how far away IKEA is now for you...)

Nope, we moved next door. So IKEA is still very far away. (Much to my displeasure)


Thanks everyone who replied about the paint colors, I was contemplating the Peacock blue, a cream, and a tannish color.

- SUPER COOL CASTLE.

OK, then I postpone my invasion of the pictures thead

Got an 8 hour drive on tiny mountain roads ahead of me tomorrow. Got my war-rig (an onyx skoda octavia, my Czech destrier) filled up with luggage, and due to a moment of temporary insanity I'm bringing a cd with the Mad Max soundtrack for the ride. Witness me!

Not planning to.

On an unrelated note, the 1 year jubilee for the forum is approaching rapidly.

We should have a party. And bake lots of squirrel cookies and tell each other how delicious they are.

AH YES that would make sense! I momentarily forgot that August was the eighth month and not the ninth and was rather confused after seeing sunflower's join date >_____>
