Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

tommyrot, those Antartica photos are awesome, in the truest sense of the world. Gives me chills.

Job~ma to everyone starting new ones! Lord knows I'm not using any of mine...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

They have a car called the Seven-Eight-Nine that's an amalgamation of design cues from the '57, '58 and '59 Chevys. Cool. Also, pretty. It's built on a modern Corvette chassis.

OhgoodLordWANT. Purrrrrrr.

Job~ma for Allyson and FoneBone!

I need some advice. I seem to have no perspective form my job, so when asked in an online form for a new job - "Reason for leaving" ....

what can I write?

I want to write: long hours, high stress, low job security, ever-changing products with steep learning curve.

In this situation, it's probably best if you're not quite honest. A positive reason related to the job you're applying for rather than "I want to avoid killing everyone," you know?

I thought I was being restrained not saying. "if I stay I might have to choke a bitch."

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

"Seeking a more stable work environment" might work.

It does depend on what the prospective job is, I guess. I'm sure there are some lines of work where that'd get you snapped right up.
