Tell her one of the most important rules of storytelling is "Show, Don't Tell".My bartender keeps talking about her big boobs today.
Excellent idea.Tell her one of the most important rules of storytelling is "Show, Don't Tell".
Woah I heard Paradise by the Dashboard lights on the radio earlier tonight and thought "man I haven't thought about this song in forever." I wish you told me you were stalking me, I could've shared my wings with you.Excellent idea.
But now I've got that song in my head. Oh hey! We could turn it into a duet
Him: Show me don't tell me
Her: I've heard it all before
Him: Show me don't tell me
Her: I don't care what you say
Him: Show me don't tell me
Her: Will you love me forever?
Him: Let me sleep on it
Her: Will you love me forever!
Oh wait. I've jumped songs.
It's weird sometimes what brings on those feelings. I was watching a boxing match (dont' remember which one since I am not much of a fan), and I saw this older guy in the audience that was a doppelganger for my grandfather. Glasses, balding hairline, Tony Soprano-esque build, etc. Once I saw him, I was riveted. I couldn't stop staring. I had a dream that night and my grandfather came to visit me (had been dead for at least 10 yrs by this point), and he had been alive this whole time, but decided to leave us for a while. I hugged him and told him how much I missed him. He always smelled of a combination of Shower-to-shower and Old Spice. When I woke up, I had that smell in my nose. It took a long time to shake that dream. It felt so real, and the smell really jacked with me.So I'm working on getting the last of the boxes unpacked from the move, the contents of some of which haven't seen the light of day in 3 moves, so it's a bit of an archeological dig going through some of them. I have two boxes left of mine in the spare bedroom/music room labelled 'memorabilia'. So, OK, I figure it's probably mostly things that can get tossed or sold, since I haven't opened either of these two boxes since I lived in Calgary at least, possibly longer.
I find letters written to me from my (now deceased) grandparents from when I was, like, 7 and 8 years old.
I find the (still functional) music box that was in my room at their house in Ontario, and that I would listen to every night when I visited.
All the f-ing feels.
So now I'm dehydrated from all the crying, and desperately want to talk to my grandma and grandpa, and I can't. And it sucks. And I miss them. And I didn't realize just how much until I heard that music box play.
Stupid feelings.
Sounds like the good old days around here...You know how I said back when Google first cut me a check that it was official, now I'm a professional youtuber? Well, forget that, I've just had two strangers have a flamey, pointless 9-post-long pissing match in one of my videos, complete with "fag," "bitch," and "retard" being thrown around like confetti. NOW I'm officially a professional youtuber.
Even at our worst, we were never "youtube comments" level bad.Sounds like the good old days around here...
The power cord plugged in at the bottom, whatever got fried was in the top - where the guts of the electronics were.I assume you meant the power adapter got fried.
I also assume what the dehumidifier actually needed was a standard C7 cord?

*dehumidifier. But you're probably still right. The aim was to just make it "only" as humid as the rest of the building. All moot now, of course.Well, if it makes you feel better, a humidifier with an external power brick wouldn't be very capable at its job in the Texas soup.
I feel like these events are related.I consumed a large burrito today.
And I got a pair of pants in the mail yesterday.
So I got that going for me, which is mice.
Why not be gay, then? I heard it's your choiceMy life would be so much more simple if I were gay.
How to get points on Imgur, in my experience:How I Imgur/Reddit:
"Well, that safe joke got a good number of upvotes. Let's try the risky/political/iffy one."

On a post about a badger, I posted "Honey Badger don't etc." Yes, exactly that, with the "etc." Got over 1000 points. Even LAZY reference humor gets points.That's for damn sure. I got like 1000 upvotes once for citing the curved swords line from Skyrim on one of those history of posts. Geez. All I did was quote a game.
Where's my "1000 Points" button?

It doubles if it's a Rick and Morty reference.On a post about a badger, I posted "Honey Badger don't etc." Yes, exactly that, with the "etc." Got over 1000 points. Even LAZY reference humor gets points.
That sounds like a place I ought to be.Even LAZY reference humor gets points.
