I'm pretty sure after some Game of Thrones watching that I am some kind of less-badass Tyrion Lannister reincarnation. Short, witty, avid reader, cynical on the surface but actually really caring and loyal. Our hair is similar (although mine is a shade darker) and I even have a noticeable face scar (although not as large or cool as his)

less-badass

Considering who you're talking about, this is not at all anything to be ashamed of. EVERYONE is less badass than Tyrion.

A TV show that I would watch: the dude from Restaurant Impossible tries the awful Chinese restaurant at my university's student union.

Seriously, I have no clue how that place stays in business. Their food is terrible.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #3955 on:** 30 Jan 2014, 11:47 »

Because people go there when they're drunk.

cesium133 · « **Reply #3956 on:** 30 Jan 2014, 11:47 »

I think they close at 9.

edit -- They're open 9 AM - 7 PM, Monday to Friday

edit2 -- Plus, I'm pretty sure the go-to place for drunk food in this town is the Waffle House.

They just opened a Waffle House here. I went on the second day. One of the staff members said "if you can't stand up Cook-Out* isn't an option, Waffle House is." This reasoning may be why their parking lot only has 7 spaces.

*A chain located in NC and a few other states that serves delicious milkshakes and other food. Usually just a drive-through, but this being a college town the one here has a walk-up window, where they get probably a majority of their business from inebriated students.

Found a picture of me when I was 2, I still think it's weird that I used to have blond hair (it's brown now, for those who haven't seen a picture of me).

ankhtahr · « **Reply #3962 on:** 01 Feb 2014, 15:39 »

Hair is often darkening over time. I still remember knowing my hair color as dark blonde, now it's definitely brown.

Metope · « **Reply #3963 on:** 01 Feb 2014, 15:43 »

My hair got lighter. When I was little I had dark, chocolate brown hair, and now it's kind of an ash brown shade, almost a dark blonde. Weird.

nekowafer · « **Reply #3964 on:** 01 Feb 2014, 15:51 »

I know several people who started off with blonde hair and now have brown. Mine's about the same, I think, but it never used to curl for anything, and now it curls on its own.

Carl-E · « **Reply #3965 on:** 01 Feb 2014, 17:44 »

Mine was black at birth, blonde as a little kid, then brown when I got to school.

Now it's mostly clear...

94ssd · « **Reply #3966 on:** 01 Feb 2014, 23:49 »

I've always been brown-haired. It gets a touch lighter in the summer.

I had the brightest color of blond as a kid, yet now my hair is a dark brown, bordering on black. I think it's not that uncommon.

Same here. Was white, ent through a dark, dark phase and now I'm turning white again.

Thought for the day: Dogs have been our friends and companions for a roughly estimated 30,000 years. Archeological evidence includes the foot prints of a small boy and his canine companion in a series of caves in France, it's believed the boy was going to look at the paintings within the cage, and took the wolf-dog for companionship. This evidence dates back roughly 26,000 years and confirms that wolves were certainly domesticated by this point and the modern dog (Canis lupus familiaris) was beginning to emerge from wolf (Canis lupus)

Cats meanwhile have been domesticated for around 9500 years.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #3973 on:** 03 Feb 2014, 05:21 »

So, in about 17,000 years we might actually have a cat that's half way nice?

Metope · « **Reply #3974 on:** 03 Feb 2014, 05:27 »

We have one now already! Meet Sofus, he likes cuddles:

ChaoSera · « **Reply #3975 on:** 03 Feb 2014, 06:57 »

He's adorable. So fluffy!

These are Jana and Magnus. They're jerks but make up for it in cuteness and we love them. Jana loves cuddles too, though Magnus is more fond of fighting.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #3976 on:** 03 Feb 2014, 07:03 »

We have that exact same bedspread.

lepetitfromage · « **Reply #3977 on:** 03 Feb 2014, 07:05 »

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! KITTIES.

Sofus is adorable. Although....he would make me sneeze my face off! I can only co-habitate with short haired fuzzes.

Sofus is so fluffy. Also he used to be all bitey but now he is the snuggliest thing.

So I found out about this comedian named John Mulaney on my Mitch Hedberg Pandora station (yeah, you can make Pandora stations for standup, it's awesome). So I looked him up today and he has the same birthday as me (albeit five years earlier). That's kinda cool, I think, he's pretty funny.

I was born in the same city as Bruce Willis, though his mother took him with her to the US pretty soon after.

Random Thought: Even though I am 23 now, I still have a fleeting feeling of shame when buying condoms.

At least until I realize I'm keeping myself safe by using them.

I have never understood that. Buying condoms means you're getting laid, which in the rules of high school, makes you cool as shit.

Buying lube is way more fun. People's eyes tell a million stories.

Rubbers are one of those critical items I will always buy myself, and never trust when it's offered for free.

I ordered a huge bag of like... 100 or so condoms online. But now I don't even have to use them with 2 of the people I have sex with - because they are as careful as I am about keeping clean. And those are the people I have the most sex with, so I still have a fuck ton (ahahaha) left.

There's a few different ways it can go, and you can read every single one in their eyes or facial expressions.
- Banal acceptance due to having seen everything and done everything in this line of work (typical of shops like Ann Summers where the lube is one of their main products)
- Horrified 'What is this for?' look.
- Horrified 'OH MY GOD I KNOW WHAT THIS IS FOR' look.
- Fond reminiscence of their own experiences with lube.
- Nightmarish reliving of their own experiences with lube.

Nightmarish reliving ...

Wouldn't the nightmare be excessively larger without lube?

feeling shame when buying condoms is a very well known feeling to me. Not only because the reason I buy new condoms is that the old ones expired without having used any, and don't really expect to use the new ones too.

Loki · « **Reply #3997 on:** 06 Feb 2014, 14:41 »

Those tokens that I wear to remind myself of things, of emotions, of feelings. Those I don't wear, also to remind me of other things. They do nothing, it's all in my head. Still, I could probably do without the one, but not with wearing the other. Why is it that I assign so much meaning to talismans? Why don't they help then?
People help. But I am trustbound not to tell them some details. I'd want to.
Some people are ambivalent for my Fourier-Goldman units. One is gone. Another is away.
Go with the flow. Stand against the flow. Does it matter? Sometimes it's no use. Sometimes you get some small wins. Only the small ones though.
