Apparently GMail no longer lets me talk to people...
I am going to have to start an actual AIM account, obviously, but until then…just know that I’m not deliberately ignoring you or anything! And I’ll keep you updated.

No Invite Over a Nickname
jalwhite:
AP | 2/27/12
The University of Iowa decided not to invite the University of North Dakota to a track meet in April because of the university’s Fighting Sioux nickname, The Iowa City Press-Citizen reported. Iowa policy prohibits the athletic department from scheduling competitions with universities or attending tournaments hosted by universities using Native American mascots, unless...

People who hate on the new pokemon or even Gen II onward need to take a chill.
The Original 150 are not the only good ones. In fact, if you’d get off your high horse, you’d see that each subsequent generation has totally blown the game sky high.

Con or Bust! Auction Ends, Little More To Go!! →
jhameia:
A’ight folks, the auction’s over, and Kate hasn’t made any official announcements yet, but it looks like we’re just a little bit short (~20% or so) of our goal for this year! Con or Bust is still taking donations, and we’re hoping to help more fans of colour attend any SFF con of their choice this year than last! So if you didn’t make any bids because nothing appealed, if you could...
Hm
Got back the exam I was pretty sure I didn’t fail today! Got a 78, which is a fairly respectable mark.
The only feedback was a single checkmark on the first page, which is not that helpful. Ah well.

Already miserable and stressed-feeling.
Maybe I really am just not cut out for academia

I burned my thumb yesterday, it makes iPod typing...
But I took a picture I want to show y’all, so I’ll prevail.
(I burned it making a torte)

A follow up to that last post [TW for discussion...
I don’t think spanking had a huge negative impact on me, comparatively speaking, which is why I don’t talk about it much. For me the emotionally abusive/toxic atmosphere in my household was a much bigger factor in the issues I have now.
But that doesn’t mean that spanking had no effect whatsoever. It just means it’s harder to pinpoint under the other stuff. And it...

[TRIGGER WARNING for discussion of abusive parenting]
But I don’t think it’s okay to hit kids. Ever! Under any circumstances.
Look, I don’t have children. I never plan to! I suspect I would be a terrible father. But I have parents, and I was spanked a couple of times for doing thigns wrong when I was young.
It didn’t teach me anything. It taught me that doing the wrong...

wundy: I get the feeling someone (possibly Pipit's mom?) has just walked in here [Dorian sez: "Here" being in this NSFW picture of Pipit and Link naked in bed together http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzyrlbTITr1r3gd2t.jpg ]
"oh my god mom I told you to knock" "Pipit our house doesn't even have walls. => Hi Link!"
triangularisthepie: WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOCKED ON THE FRONT DOOR
"Pipit it's my house too"
wundy: alhkgdshkg yes
they just get into this whole argument while Link is sitting there awkward and naked

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.

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?

in other other updates, more cheerful ones
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.

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...
