This is the exact plot to The Holiday.

Don’t fall in love with a dashing viking, because he’ll show up drunk on your doorstep forgetting his sister mentioning she would be away and ask to crash because he’s too drunk to get home.

Eh, depends on where I am. In Phoenix? Winter. In Jersey? Spring. In California summer. In Japan? Fall.

Not to mention we’re in a period of morality panic. We’ve been brainwashed to think there are only good and bad, either with us on all thoughts or against. We’ve been sucked into a hard lined good vs. evil plot, except everyone is wrong.

Over flowery words from my mother, as soon as I started asking.

You act like we don’t have little pocket communicators that can summon anything we want if we pay enough for it.

Same. Only way I’ve managed to curb my cravings of sugar lately is that I got lab work done and I’m on the verge of becoming diabetic. Turns out fear is my only motivator.

Dupixent, my mom has Purigo Nodularous and it’s basically torture. Still trying to get the meds cleared to be covered for her, they’re over $1k per shot and she needs it like once a week or something.

I bought one thing on Temu. Once.

My mom was recovering from back surgery and needed a bed that could lift up and lower down. Those beds are expensive as fuck, and her insurance wasn’t covering them. I tried to rent, but I was in a funky area where none of the rental companies covered my area.

Anyway, up pops an add on Temu. So off I go. Find one for like $250. Read reviews, and they’re English reviews and have legit pictures. So, terrified and desperate, I bought a whole-ass bed off Temu.

Came two weeks later. Put it together. It worked. She still uses it. It’s been almost a year now. Those two weeks of wondering if I just threw away $250 were wild though, lol.

Nunchucks and a drafting pencil.

Genesight?

I had this done too, went through a company called Genesight, though mine covered all different categories of meds, not just ADHD. I got on a good medicine for anxiety, it works wonders. I highly recommend getting tested, it cuts down on the testing

Rice made with with cumin, paprika and other spices. Black beans with a little kick. Melted cheese on top, then throw in some crisp lettuce, chopped tomatoes and taco sauce. Nice little rice and beans bowl for an easy meal.

“Didja… Didja get that thing I sent ya??”

USA, 2 weeks/year but they don’t expire and I can roll them over if I want to.

I usually vacation for 3 weeks at a time, it’s a good amount of time to spend on one place I’ve never been and see a bunch.

Spacial awareness is good to have no matter who you are or what your situation is. What’s not good is being constantly worried or paranoid.

I look for lots of things. Who’s in the area, what’s in the area and what are different ways to get out if I need to. But I’m not specifically on the lookout for weirdos, as in, I’m constantly worried they’ll be there or anything. If I notice someone sus I keep tabs on them until I don’t think it’s a threat.

One night I was out walking my dog, who was still under a year old (he was already a big dog though), and a guy is walking in the opposite direction. I see him coming but he’s got a hoodie on and pulled up over his head, ducked in a way that I can’t see his face. My radar didn’t go off, but I made sure to watch him out of the corner of my eye as we passed each other. Then, he turns and heads straight for me.

So, I turned towards him and put my hands up. I couldn’t outrun him with my dog, and I figured once I started making a commotion my dog might help out.

It turned out to be my (now-ex) fiance playing a trick on me, seeing what I would do. Once he saw me square up he threw back his hood and gave me a lecture on how I should have ran.Fucking asshole behavior, but I guess now I know what I’d do in that situation.

Anyway, no one’s ever done that to me since, but I still keep my wits about me. I also don’t think I’m constantly going to be followed by creepers either.

“It’s flat! Nothing above. And below is some mysterious object I know nothing of . . .”

I haven’t watched anime in a super long time.

Didja… Didja get that thing I sent ya??

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.

People are saying “whenever” when they just mean “when” and I hate it with a fiery passion.

“Whenever I was at the game yesterday…”

When. WHEN!!

I’m fairly non-nerdy, though I like reading fantasy and scifi.

But other than that, nope.
