that is a really good cosplay :D though my brain lagged a bit and thought the dog was a human in an ultra realistic fursuit, not a dog, which would make it even more incredible
The kid I've been sending money too graduated at the top of her class, wants to be a refugee and women's rights lawyer in France or Luxembourg or something close to the UN headquarters, and several awards for her debate team, has grants and scholarships drooling out of her ears, and, and Look I'm really proud of the little snot, okay? A year ago she was living in a literal tin roof hut, the corrugated kind you see in every Help These Adorable Minorities Make it One More Day commercials, with a compacted dirt floor and banana leaves for walls. SHE'S MY NIECE. Spoiler: Me being a vindictive bitch and asshole brother And I never knew she existed until 5 years ago when she was already 8 years old, the side affect of my asshole brother seeming inability to keep his dick in his pants, or wrapped. All it took was 10 USD a month to keep her in school, food, and books. My brother was a multi-millionaire at the time of her birth. He lost it all to his ex wife, and that was how I found out about this kid. I may not want any parasites but this is just stupid to let her live that way when I have all the opportunities and chances to do better for myself, in order to get her mother, grandmother and her somewhere safe. I got my shit togethet and first chance I got, I checked in with a cousin after 7 years of not talking, asked if he'd take hem in and I'll pay for whatever. He did, and I did, and the girl's mom is now married, has a stable job and fuck if I'm not hella fucking proud. In your face, bro! Where ever you are I hope you're sneezing and coughing and high in fevers. The only thing I want from her is for her to be happy and healthy, that'll show my brother. *evil cackle*
Husband is making dinner. It smells really good :D also we're getting rid of a couple boxes of stuff today!!
I got a new dog today. Introductions went perfectly. Now I am about to sleep in a furry pile and I have never been more purely content
Pretty countryside out the bus window <3 It's grim & overcast today but everything is green as green and there are enormous daisies all over.
the boyfriend and his dad just gave me my birthday present early! a bottle full of bright pink dice, some sparkly, and LEGOS I'm so HAPPY some many things to play with!!!!
Another round of learning all the computer things! Eta which is to say... hardware stuff like which is the memory that is RAM, which is the harddrive, how heat sinks work... How I can in fact access my old laptop's harddrive... Software stuff like the difference between machine code like binary, and languages for files humans might read like Bash amd Perl and such A bit more about how to use the Konsole... How to make the virtual machine work so maybe I don't need to boot that operating system after all... Just WHY it is that secure computer facilities don't let you bring thumb or flashdrives in with you...
my moirail got an INCREDIBLY AWESOME PIECE OF NEWS TODAY :D she has a new roommate to move in with her, displacing old awful roommate!
I just had a good piece of quiche and the best. fucking. brownie. ever. from a local tea house for lunch. This brownie. Jesus. It was just the right balance between fudgy and chewy and had that nice little shiny crust on top and on top of that it was an EDGE BROWNIE and just. ungh. so good.
i'm getting a cat! i met the perfect cat today and she's a tiny baby and she's so sweet and she's moving in with me forever on sunday and i'm literally not going to shut up about this for weeks.
finding these pictures again from february of last year, one of the few times i've ever seen snow: Spoiler: backyard narnia
A joke I made this morning, and especially it's results: Scenario: I'm a bit overdressed (as is usual for me in public) and shopping for food and I've just finished my typical "I'm doing good, how are you?" line with the clerk. Clerk: Is there anything awesome going on today we don't know about? Me: Oh, just the Illuminati meeting. Clerk: You're in the Illuminati? Me: No, but it's going on and you don't know about it. The store clerk laughed for about a minute, literally only stopping right as he and his buddy finished bagging my stuff. From his banter to his buddy between chuckles, it looks like he was happy to finally get as good as he liked to give.
A friend I've been texted for a while finally gave me their real number (as opposed to the internet number I helped them set up). I feel like a Real Person now. It made me so happy I had to put my face in a corner and just breathe.
Thank you! I had to cool down a bit before I could reply to this. Not anything you said!! :) Just the whole mess; in Cambodia females are less valued. Period. So my brother wasn't going to care for her anyway, even if he hadn't lost everything. Spoiler: abuse And Cambodia, home of the largest religious monument on the planet and a fantasy digging site of many archaeologists, also a bombing victim AND perpetrator, is now known as the number 1 destination for pederasts/pedophiles. I knew where she was headed if only because of that culture/society's ideas of sex and adulthood; I was not letting that happen. Happy News: interview for a higher paying job Tuesday! I seem to have all the qualifications... Scared and excited.
