Its only dumb if they're human too. You can always still idolize fictional characters :v

That could be really bad.

I've read books where a pretty decent character does some stupid shit which just makes me cringe and sigh.

I'm a big fan of Steven Universe but every now and again they have episodes that are based on a main/recurring character going absolutely insane.  I can think of 4 separate episodes where non-villains kidnap someone else and then put that person's life in danger (one character has done this twice.  To the same person).  I can also think of two episodes where someone tells a very large lie to get into someone else's pants.  Usually but not always those episodes result in a slap on the wrist.

Today just feels bad. Dunno why. Ugh.

[Solifuge]

A person I really admire and wish I was more like is being dumb and oversensitive in an internet argument that they started and IMO are on the wrong side of.

Having personal heroes is dumb.

It's okay to take the good parts of people you admire, and value them, while you separate the bad and even question them on it in hopes of helping them be more self aware or whatnot. Pretty much all my personal heroes and role models are Ala Carte like that. Because people are human, and fallible. And because I have never just found someone who was exactly like I want to be; I'm my own person too!

So yeah. Pick and choose what you idolize or admire. It's okay to be discerning!


Edit to avoid double-posting:

Roomate threw out my cabbage. Yes it was slightly old and had a small bad spot, but it would've been easy to cut out. And I was planning to cook it today! I had my heart set on cabbage and mustard and potato and carrots, you fiend! And I can't be arsed to go to the store today, when it's stormy. And my muscles are all sore after hauling about half a tree worth of dead branches around, and breaking 'em up for the yard compost people.

Some day soon, cabbage. We will be reunited. I think I'mma order Sadness Takeout for dinner now though.

So I had to visit the 9/11 Memorial for the first time along with my classmates for my course on Terror and Terrorism. I was avoiding going there for a long while because I was leery of tourism and it being, well, it. I don't know if I want to say that I'm sad, but my mood for the day has taken a turn for the somber.

Neighbors downstairs are having a major domestic. If I call the cops, it'll be the fourth police visit to their apartment in the last six months.

They've done nothing but fight ever since they moved in however long ago. Clearly there is something majorly wrong, and one of them needs to get away from the other because shit is fucked. But they won't, so I get a live episode of Jerry Springer followed by COPS every few weeks. I know it's sick, but I'm starting to get the attitude that they deserve eachother.

Coming up next on Sick, Sad World...

Heartburn now. Treatment not instantaneous enough. Damn x_x

[StrawBarrel]

I've been feeling under the weather since last night.

[TheBiggerFish]

I've been feeling under the weather all week, and suspect I may be actually-sick from how...dead my higher cognitive functions have been.  Is no good.
Also I have homework.  Again.  *sigh*

[itisnotlogical]

I've got new job sick stomach. I know it's just anxiety and it'll go away once I find a rhythm, but I still feel like I'm going to barf any second. Uuuugh.

It's just past eight in the morning, I'm "getting ready" to leave the house to get stuff done today, and it starts pouring with rain.
Now, I don't mind a nice walk in the rain sometimes, but not on an already unpleasantly cold morning such as this.
Also I was planning to start off the day's mission with a ten-to-fifteen minute walk to an amazing bakery to grab a pie before continuing.

I guess it was a good thing I procrastinated and thus didn't end up out there when it started, at least.   

Fakeedit: This seems like a pretty serious storm, actually, judging by the thunder.

[Arx]

Apparently today is exhausted and headachey day. Marrrvelous.

[Yoink]

The weather has become even more awful, here. Cold, and I think it's still-- wait, no it is definitely raining again outside.
I thought it was just drizzling, but it's raining pretty heavily. I'd planned on going out tonight, too.    

At least the band I was going to see is playing a few more shows around the city over the next couple of weeks.   

[itisnotlogical]

Had a take-home test that I couldn't work on last night. "It's fine," I thought, "I'll catch the super-early bus so I can work on it on campus without any distractions."

Rushed out the door and left the damn paper behind.
