We haven't played it in years. It's got good replay value though.

Dragon Quest VIII on the old PS2

"Okay. Red hot nickel ball vs a person! Who would win?" My 6 year old, ladies & gentlemen. Be afraid.

Oh sh--

Discussing the assault of a sweet little old lady by an animal who was the slave of a guy driving a lead sled. I hear the poor dear was flying high. The slave owner tried to say he was Santa, but I don't believe that for a minute.

Same for me, too. Hugs are supportive, but it can be for a happy reason or a sad one.

I notice a lot of people use hugs when the post is sad. I'm like Kags, I like using them to express when I'm happy for the person, too. IRL I'd be hopping up and down going "Oh my glob I am so happy for you!!" I think I rate certain people's posts more than others. Usually it's because I...

Just don't go looking for good Mexican restaurant. Oahu has plenty of places that say they are Mexican, but you eat it and the confusion sets in. What is this? Why am I eating it? Is this really teriyaki instead of carne asada?

I really hope the bastards that keep lighting off salute shells/M80s/M100s in my neighborhood blow themselves up. I am so sick of this shit and there is nothing you can do about it since the cops have to catch them in the act.

That it's paradise and nice weather, where everyone sits on the beach or surfs all the time and no one has problems. There are a lot of problems here that you don't see until you live here.

Generalized anxiety disorder which has been in remission for about a year. Depression which seems to be digging in its heels. I had postpartum depression after I had Noah, but my ob/gyn told me to get over it. I had suicidal thoughts due to a hormone imbalance when I was in my 20s which...

Yes! Or I'd simplify it for people like a PE teacher I had: Letter T and a bow like in archery. I used to love being asked why it had so many letters. Like I made this name up on my own.

To me, those are the exceptions to the rule. We'd also have to define trauma and hardship in order to be consistent in what we're discussing. Some people, including close friends and family, would tell you that I don't know trauma and hardships because I've never lived through either according...

I don't know anyone like this. Granted there are varying degrees of being damaged, but I honestly do not know one person who hasn't gone through a hardship or trauma and walked away entirely unscathed. I think that's one of the myths which perpetuates the stigma surrounding mental health...

What's "normal", anyway?

Well, this isn't a book. I'd end up leaving them my whole Goodreads favorites list, honestly. Anyway, there are two poems I'd give them. The first is "Roofs" by Joyce Kilmer. The second is "The Storyteller" by Erin Hanson For a song:

It fits so well.

I'm still working out my own feelings of emptiness and self-hatred. Therapy and antidepressants have helped, but I've had to do some work for myself. Antidepressants can help your mood, but getting to the root of the problem is what therapy and self-exploration are for and will help in a...

The movie would definitely be Amélie (aka Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain). I'm going to have to think about the book and song.
