Also, the space variant taste like crunchy king prawn.

 

I am glad I clicked on notifications AFTER having my cake. O_O

The weevils so and so as it happens to most of us at some point and they're parasites which does not mean that I do not sympathise...

...but realising roach poop or larvae were in food AFTER you have eaten? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.mp3

 

I don't remember if I actually said it the other day, so...

Happy birthday, @Ewok Poet!

 

Thank you. I meant to wait until midnight my time to respond to you the same way, but life is short, we need more parties during these hard and gloom times.

Just had a quick chat over phone with this fellow IT professional, he might hand me over a project of his own. Since they have not called me from NCR yet and other offers are mostly copywriting-related and don't pay enough, I guess I am looking forward to this.

Whom am I kidding, I am looking forward to anything that contributes to getting out of this mess.

 

I’m going to register tomorrow at the Urban Indian Center and when I asked my contact there if a vaccination appointment in March was possible, he said as early as next week. I’m going to try and do it on my day off for March 16.

 

Welcome back, @Ewok Poet
I want you to know I didn't forget you either. And I think that whoever mentioned that certain gizkaspice tale of cat infested zaniness is right. I think you'll laugh your socks off. Definitely recommend.

 

Congratulations!

 

Congrats @Briannakin !

 

Way to go, @Briannakin! You are indeed the real deal, we never doubted that.

Happy Birthday, @Ewok Poet (am I too late to say that?)! (we need birthday cake emojis, in addition to cats, bunnies & Ewoks). It's good to have you back from hiatus. I'm glad poor Perri is still entertaining you.

 

Agree, but I think the Zeb-emojis could work as a cat emoy

 

I gave a friend a mug that says “This is what a published author looks like” for Christmas after she got her first publication. I metaphorically bestow it on you. Way to go!

 

Congratulations, @Briannakin!

@Mistress_Renata, I meant what I said. I have a list of stuff that I use when I am really, really down - some rather odd YouTube parodies, photos of Patricia Piccinini's sculptures (I know they are not funny, but to me they are O_O) and your story, alongside another. If you want to see what else I consider funny to that extent, there's a YouTube poop that is now only on Dailymotion called, in all caps, DAFFY DUCK MAKES LOVE TO A GIRL. No actual love making involved, just lots of absolutely unrelated nonsense.

As for the emoji, I would totally love to see at least a dog and a cat, too. And I dunno, Wicket can represent all Ewoks, as he does in other media? But whoever is in charge could first give us the seven missing ones back. Or is it just me? There are seven that show as broken images, both in the emoji panel below this input

I sent my work to that guy. No words from NCR yet. Writing to the Dutch people tonight. I am so anxious about work that I don't know what is worse - to shut up and realise that I just don't know what level of anxiety is normal human behaviour or just refill my anxyolitic prescription and be numb for two days and then extremely irritable if the need continues. It's like...neither works right. I just want to be fearless.

 

Not just you, they are broken for me too

 

Congratulations.

 

Just got registered and they will call me in 1-2 days to set up my vaccination.

 

No, no, no...you are not obliged to retell everything to somebody who missed it. But yes, I did think that you were still at your old job, you crossed my mind many times during 2020 because of it. This way it really is not that bad, as you say.

Older people should have the priority. I guess each state gets to regulate its own share of vaccine distribution? I never wondered about this before, as well as many other things that people from a country of this size don't wonder about.

Hope it goes fast!

Later today (Friday) we'll know if we're getting a real lockdown, with curfew and all, like we had one year ago. Despite 1/4 of the population having received at least one dose of the vaccine, cases are going up because of secret parties, the fact that there were folks going to mountains for vacation and that the restrictions there were nowhere near what it should have been...and stupidity in general.

 

What kind of bikes are these? I missed your job stuff, too.

And pee-shy is a thing I can relate to, but it was until a minute ago that I had no idea that it had a medical name. I have to play music when I pee, sometimes even when I am all alone. I don't like to hear it and when others can hear it...yikes.

 

I guess I'm different. I'm generally an introvert, but this past year has been too introverted for me. I normally avoid large and dense crowds, but right now I'm craving being in the middle of a giant crowd with people pressed up against me watching something exciting. Which is strange because I've literally never wanted to do that in my life. It's like I've introverted so much for the past year that I've built up so much socialization energy that my energy bank is bursting at the seams and I need to open the release valve before it explodes. I've already noticed that I can't sit still for more than a few minutes any longer.

 

@Briannakin I am the extreme opposite of a hugger (I literally had a director in theater make me rehearse a hug with my character’s cousin for half an hour so I would look like I was happy about it) and I have some people I want to hug. In the last year, I’ve hugged my roommate every few months, my friend’s daughter out of habit once, and got to be hugged by my best friend and her husband and their two kids a lot on vacation because they’d already had it and were not contagious. It was such a joy to hug each other at midnight 2021.

This coming Monday is the 5-year anniversary of my debut novel coming out, which is so surreal to me. It was my long-time dream to have my books on library shelves and thanks to a website, I know where in the world that happens. The first time was because my good friend from college requested a copy for the library where she’s one of the librarians, so she sent me a picture of it just before shelving it in Michigan.

@Ewok Poet, people are vehemently opposed to being told what not to do in this statement. This is how people have had 10,000-person parties that started countywide outbreaks, for example. The company that organized them? Young and Dumb, LLC. True story. I sympathize with numbers being on the rise for general stupidity.
