A friend of mine's high school has lockers with electronic locks :v

[Flying Dice]

I never used my locker in high school, just carried all my shit with me. 

Also, I finally remembered the name of one of the best songs ever written.

[Dutchling]

Carried.. all your books? But that's like ~12 books a day D:

[FearfulJesuit]

In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, of a 176-character tweet from a date that doesn't exist.

it checks out

Yep. I had a big backpack. The running joke was that it weighed more than I did, which was about half-true.

Quantum backpack?

Which of you nerds wants to date me? >:I

You've seen my whale! You know what I can do!

Mostly flop on the ground and slowly move towards the spaceocean...

Ha ha, yes. I remember that! We (family + doctors seen) are fairly sure that's the (or at least a) primary reason that when I went in to get my back checked when I was 18 (due to rather incredibly agonizing pain ), I had the spine of someone in their forties. More or less permanent (though, fortunately, somewhat ease-able with proper therapy. Really need to get back to keeping those exercises up...) spinal damage~ Several years of a few dozen pounds of incredibly poorly supported (most backpacks marketed for school use are apparently not designed worth a shit <3) texts will do that to a developing skeletal system, it seems.

Locker wasn't actually an option for me, though. Wasn't enough time between classes to stop by, haha.

And now you know reason N+1 Frumple supports the digitization of textbooks. Arguments may be made by the standard method of allowing your opponent to bludgeon you with your proposal until one side is unconscious. Last one standing wins. E-readers hurt. A couple small children worth of swinging backpack hurts much worse ♫

E: In other happies, the Balance and Ruin opera songs have made me happy again.

send me a pm when bored

[quinnr]

I sent out something like 10 fanletters this summer, because I wanted to, to authors and TV people who had meant a lot to me. ~snip~

Awesome! That's actually a really good idea, I've thought a couple of times about sending paper things to people who have made awesome stuff that is meaningful to me, but never actually went through with it. Maybe I will, now!

Speaking of books, I can finally pronounce "Fyodor Dostoyevsky". Now I just need to be able to spell it and it'll be good. Oh, and "Raskelnikov" and the rest. I found a neat pronunciation guide. If I'm going to have to discuss this with people in a few days I have to be able to say the names, even if nobody else will. And no cheating by just using the nick names, either.

Also, Marmeladov apparently comes from the word for "marmalade" or "jam". I find this utterly hilarious since

Spoiler: Crime and Punishment - Marmeladov (click to show/hide)

He dies from being JAMMED under a carriage/cart wheel. I'm seriously cracking up about this even though the words in Russian probably have no such word play. But yeah, loving this book. A lot. Like, it actually gave me feelings at one point and usually I don't get that engrossed in a story that I have actual feelings.

What is the name of that series. It looks awesome.

[Frumple]

It's apparently called "Monster Collection"? Definitely got a bit of NSFW going on so far. Only through first volume, though! Interesting enough, solid art style, and, well. That lizard dude. Bit fanservicey (if that's a problem for people.), but. Lizard dude.

I've... I've currently copied about 9/10ths of his appearances into paint, cropped everything else out, and saved the remaining lizardawesome. Awesome lizard is awesome. I am in "See flaws, don't care. Lizard" mode. It's a very specific state of being.

E: Oh dear.
_{e2: oh gods lizard manga has talking adventurer muskrats this is glorious
e3 they have little coveralls bleebleblorble *frothing*}

[kisame12794]

Ughhh. Must resist archive biiinngeeee. Powered through volume one, gotta sleep. Still looks awesome though.

Cleaned ALL the things today.  Feels good and reaffirms my conviction that I will never live in a large house.

(Ours is already small, but I would be cool with owning way less stuff)

And, I have a moving date.  Sixteen days from now, I'll be moving out of my parents' house and starting my job.  This is pretty exciting.
