Wolpertinger?
I liked Saving Private Ryan as a sort of antidote to the Apocalypse Now/Full Metal Jacket sort of war movie that was growing on the 90s. I never felt anything was particularly "contrived" or anything like that, though. Then again, long time, yadda yadda yadda
Hell he even writes real life fanfiction (From Hell)
nonono
"no, Luke, I'm your mom"
"Yo, Luke, yo momma's so foul she screamed at a planet and destroyed it"
"Shut up, han"
were there lots of movies like that in the 90s? I can't recall, as I couldn't speak for most of that decade
Shit, that should have been the 80s.
There really aren't many war movies a la Saving Private Ryan or Apocalypse Now (Meaning movies that actually follow soldiers) in the 90s. I figure they were seen as a sort of cliche after the 80s, but that's just especulation on my part.
Maybe I should go watch Saving Private Ryan now that I've grown older and more mature.
Super Lazuli,
This people, is what makes it hard to be an optimist in the 21st century.
I agree about that stuff being way out there, but I think that Twitter accounts that pull particularly off the wall comments from Tumblr probably should not play too much of a role in your attitude towards people in general.
Honestly, I would totally be up for taking a break from talking about Tumblr, mostly because some comments there can be so ridiculous that it can become a bit frustrating to discuss them and because such discussions rarely seem to tread new ground.
People really, REALLY need to stop treating the internet as what people would really say in act in real life. We all think since it's the internet, people might be expressing their true thoughts and feelings but in most cases people are bored, never tired of making unfunny jokes and/or just like to troll, especially on site specifically designed to attract attention to yourself.
^^I'm aware.
^I would like to think that. Generally, I do think that. It's just a bit hard to keep thinking that sometimes.
Even if they are joking or trying to raise a reaction, it's still the kind of thing that is quite lacking in maturity or understanding of how people work.
Random Thought: Harry Potter fighting game, good idea or greatest idea?
Recently I've learned that what they say about what you learn at university during an engineering career not being useful in practice is not true, and I've also learned that understanding said things well doesn't make up for being the incompetent idiot I am.
hahaha
You know what the worst feeling is?
Not the initial panic attack itself, I can usually deal with the panic attacks fairly easily by focusing on something else. The worst feeling is the feeling you get when you've dealt with your panic attack; how your arms get sore from clenching them, the headache you get from clenching your teeth, how your legs get wobbly from trying to lock them in place so they don't shake, how your lungs are just kinda sore from trying to breathe correctly.
@Potter idea
Worst idea unless good mechanics.
Went to a birthday, the best part was a cat-laser pointer combo. Pretty snoozy, all in all.
Feel better, kid.
So, I'm looking at my resumé and I just need a few references and I don't know anyone who wouldn't declare me unworthy of living as a worker and should instead be some sort of slave
so i put my mom's name
hooray
Bad idea since Harry Potter is a series where people just throw spells at each other from a distance. Unless you had the option of playing Neville with the sword of Gryfindor or Hagrid in a drunken rage just beating everybody up. And picture it man, Voldemort dressed like Ivy from Soul Calibur(so he's being Voldo I guess?) using Nagini as a chain whip thing.
Nova - you feeling better now?
Juan - dude no, never list family on a resume. You could try listing past employers, since well chances are nobody actually checks references.
I've never put family members on my resumé.
Trust me when I say that I spent two hours thinking of this. I don't even have past employers so. ._.
...wait, my editor.
shut up i haven't had coffee today and i'm wallowing in angst
I'm not really feeling any better. My body still aches all over, and I have a splitting headache, and my eyes are burning like I'm holding back tears, even though I'm not. The ache seems to be growing worse, too.
I hate assigned seating. Putting me between two people, who the hell thought that was a good idea?
what is next
listening to people speak
that would suck right now.
but no, the problem with putting me between two people is, I can't move. I can't get away to the left or the right, and chairs were in front of me and there was a wall behind me.
Especially sucks when I only know one of the people next to me.
I mean, I agree with you that assigned seating is unnecessary after high school but come on, you have to admit there's something inherently hilarious about:
and for what is worth, i'm pretty sure you can just walk out if you feel bad. you'll lose the assistance mark but hey.
Have you thought about asking to be moved to a seat close to the door?
Also, this has convinced me to never play with puppets. Ever.
It forgets the part where the puppet comes alive and it eats your soul as if it was pizza, thus I deem an inaccurate account of events and unfunny at that.
It was a group seating, with Legionnaire's family. I could have done other stuff, like leave, or ask to be moved, but then I'd have to move them, too, and then explain why I wanted to move, and that... no thanks.
And it's not usually this bad afterwards. Normally I stop feeling bad at all after about three hours. Today's just... exceptionally bad.
you should have punched legionnaire to feel better
or you, i could punch you too
no
i'll punch both of you
you hurt my feelings because you have none
well, i feel tired. does that count
Juan: aside from your editor you could ask one of your college teachers if they'd let you use them as a reference, maybe.
