And then it happens again in the year 40k, because the same logic applies due to the grim darkness and only war and that.
So it's also a future tradition. Future Tradition would be a good name for a post-punk band.

Well yeah, it's going to be different from culture to culture, time period to time period, and even different time periods within the same culture.

The explanation I've heard is that pink was associated with boys sometime in the Renaissance, being a lighter version of red, which is the color of blood and murder and therefore manly (beats me), and dark blue is the color of Virgin Mary, something something.

Well, until recently.

Time was, pink was associated with blood and violence (what with being kinda like a bright red) and blue was all calming and feminine.

Then the feminists went and buggered it up. Thanks, you colour-chart-ruining monsters.

In my dream, my classmates and I were sent to a massive pet shop place. Random pets were set loose, if we could catch one, we'd get to adopt it. Everyone caught all the pets quickly, and I had none. I eventually caught a stereotypical pink poodle, but it ran away. The I found a tiny brown-and-white chinchilla that turned pink and white when scared, I had to look at its color to know how scared it was to be able to sneak up and catch it.
Actually, I take back everything I said about the colour pink. That sounds amazing.

Terror: I collected a bunch of professional references today. I'm going to finalize applying for that tech job soon. I hope I have enough references. I'm terrified that the job will be closed or I'm going to screw this up somehow.

Can't you delete or at least selectively edit incriminating details out of your history?
...There's something wrong with visiting B12 and speaking about what troubles you?
'HOW DARE YOU CRITICISE ME I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD!' wouldn't be out of the question.
^This, plus the fact that I read about videogames (yes, this makes her pisse), that I talk with 'strangers' on the internet, that I have given these people my general location, that I hid something from her, that I am trans, among many others.

She'd probably think that I'm an ungrateful crybaby, you're all mentally sick pedophilic murderrapists and you infected me with the gays and I'm going to hell.

My dad... When I was nine or ten he once slapped me across the face and screamed at me for even mentioning a dream I had that had the color pink. I'm scared of what he'd do if he found out.
Somehow I don't think our kidnapping jokes would exactly help your case...

But in more serious note,

??? Couldn't agree more with Mr. Strange, especially about the second part there.

My terror for today is about badminton. Try-outs for the school team are on Wednesday, I haven't played in a long time, and I was never that good at it anyway. This is terrifying enough, but then my dad texts me and says that some really good pro person he knows said I could go practice with them, so I reply, "Sure". Terror levels increase. Right after I hit send, I get a second text from him: "It's a practice for their best players".

Aaah, Badminton. I'd never play in a team or whatever, but I do enjoy a bit of it during summer with a certain friend of mine. Spent literally hours doing that, one summer. :3

Also, poor poor carowine. :c

That's how you start doing everything, though. You think I didn't take a lot of lumps in martial arts? I was pretty terrible when I started.

MZ speaks the truth, you do take a lot of punches in martial arts.
And kicks.
And knees.
And elbows.
And you probably get the point.
