First snow. It's pretty, but not being able to take a bike to school is going to severely slow me down.

Just suck it up and put winter chains on your tires! I swear, every year people wait too long because they can't be bothered...

A white halloween is looking pretty likely over here. My favourite bar is doing a showing of The Nightmare Before Christmas as a result.

Here in Finland, the preferred option is studded tires rather than winter chains, but you're not legally allowed to use them before November because they wear down the road if there isn't ice. Also, my bike has very narrow tires. Even if they were studded, I wouldn't trust them on a slushy road. I'd need to buy entirely new wheels for it to be viable.

Bike wheel chains are actually a thing? Huh. I was just making a crack about treating them like cars. Ah well.

Strap skis on it instead, then.

I got angry and smacked my keyboard hard enough to pop out the V key and the space bar, put a crack in it, and damage the  screw holding in the keyboard tray on my desk. Really good three-for-one fucking myself with my own stupidity there. I managed to put the keys back in, but now they feel weird with the springs damaged, and my desk tray still works, but now it has a little unsteady bounce to it.

When will I learn...

Once a long time ago I was doing some LAN gaming and got pissed and slammed my fist down on the table next to my tower. I hit it so hard it actually managed to unseat the sound card, and the PC audio never quite worked correctly after that. Amazing what the power of a human fist can do.

I recently had to buy a new phone because I threw it at the stairs after becoming very angry.  I've only performed violence against things (or people) out of anger twice, and there's still a dent in the door I smacked, which is the other one.

Ahhh drat. This is obviously minor but still niggling at me. I'd been sort of eyeing up a good looking girl in class (sexist? Maybe. Often what happens? Certainly.) Anyway, she sat beside me today and it turns out she's very likeable and had the rare quality of making me feel relaxed.

Darnation.

Ummmmm. I don't think anyone in their right minds would call that sexist, as long as you aren't making the good looking person in question uncomfortable. (Heck, even if you were I doubt "sexist" would be the right word for it.) Womenfolk have been known to closely observe attractive members of their gender of preference, too, y'know.

Of course, I'm no expert. I remember once hypothesising in an emotion thread that a girl who smiled at me perhaps wanted to kill and eat me. For all I know the conclusions of my far-fetched fight-or-flight reflex in that situation may have been more accurate than I realised.
I hope you can manage to at least befriend this classmate of yours, should you wish to do so.


If you are wondering why this post is especially rambly and tangential, I have had about two hours sleep before having to get up and force myself off to catch a bus, since I have things to do in, like... a couple of hours or so. Monster preserve me from the dread anxiety of hangovers.

Once again, woe is you.  How difficult your life must be.  I shall weep and pray for your guidance from this awful place.

I have inadvertently insulted and hurt my girlfriend. Again.

I was nerding out about some DnD stuff with someone on Steam, and as such I was typing fairly rapidly. She has a tendency to make comments if I start writing longer sentences, things along the lines of "Oooh, it's furious typing time!" or "Writing a novel?" or just making "Tacka-tacka-tacka!" noises. The charm of this apparently never wore out for her... It never really wore in for me.


So I was perhaps a bit short receiving yet another such comment about my "fight-typing", and I turned to her and said "I don't have any other way of typing", following with "Except for this:" and doing some exaggerated two-finger typewriting.

This clearly hit a sore spot, so she was just silent for a while, scoffed a bit, said "...it was just a joke", turned away, and sniffled. She eventually regained her composure and is now more-or-less back to normal... But yeah.

So is the "friend" portion of "Girlfriend" optional?

Just set the woman on fire and go to prison already*
