eyeofmantorok replied to your post: Beat Mass Effect today!
I’ve been debating doing this! Except that I still have another DLC and two more books to read in the Dragon Age series. But the idea of being caught up just in time for the release is veeery tempting.
MASS EFFECT
MASS EFFECT
do iiiit
Beat Mass Effect today!
For the first time.
Gonna import my save file into ME2 either tonight or tomorrow. Since I’ve beaten ME2 before hopefully that’ll go quickly enough that I am ALL CAUGHT UP FOR ME3
not that I can afford it on the first day.
But still, it’s the principle of the thing
hey Canadians
any of you want to let me use your Netflix login?
:D?
:D?

I have a date today!
and
I see my doctor on Monday and am going to push to see the school psychiatrist so I can get a proper thorough psych evaluation and then based on the results of that maybe apply for Ontario Disability Support, which would allow me to take some time off of school and work, decompress, and figure out what I want to do with my life, basically.
I feel good about this.
In other life updates I have $11 to last me until...

So I gave mapcrunch a try.
It dropped me off in Winnipeg (where I lived for most of my life and still visit regularly) about a twenty-minute walk (were I there in person) from Portage Avenue (Winnipeg’s main thoroughfare).
So far this game is pretty easy.

My living expenses are taken care of for a good while — which means it’s time for me to refocus on saving up for surgery. My RLT will be complete in August, and the sooner I can get surgery after that, the better.
To that end, I would like to kick off a Help-Kiri-Get-Surgery fundraising drive!
My goal is to raise $15,000 — enough to cover surgery fees, travel expenses to Thailand,...

THE STUDENT THEATRE GROUP DOING RENT: THE WHITE VERSION DELETED MY COMMENT FROM THEIR FACEBOOK WALL.

Okay the other thing I hadn’t yet gotten around to mentioning is that yesterday my (romantic) relationship with Liam ended. We’re still super-close, on good terms, etc. I mean, we still live together! It was just that our relationship changed.

And I’m fine with my failing my exam!
Or at least I think I am fine with both of these things, but I’m...

Just A Quick Note to Atheists (From an Atheist)
rhymeswithnothing:
thefullmetalbitch:
Being an atheist does not erase privilege. This includes white privilege.
This also includes cis privilege, CNDP privilege, and het privilege.
Seriously, being an atheist does not erase your white privilege.
Criticizing exclusively (majority) non-white religions is racist. This includes Islam.
The existence of white Muslims does not invalidate...

I measured my head today.
It is 25”!
Compared to the other people who were in the room (22”, 23”, 23.25”) it seems like that’s pretty big, which I knew. I knew I have a large head.
*googles*
Apparently 22-24 is pretty average, say a number of sources.

Tanya Talaga, Toronto Star.
The UN has initiated an “inquiry procedure” regarding the missing [600+ over the last 20 years] women.

The UN inquiry procedure is being handled by the committee...

I do not consider “getting along” to be a goal in and of itself. If I get along with somebody, it’s because there is mutual respect, compatibility, and love born of freedom.
