I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

It is a hidden object game.

Jesse I have a whole filter called games because btw GoT and Mystery Manor (which I have now deleted) I needed so many "neighbors" and "friends" to do levels that I had dozens of strangers.

Because books.

Okay, Jesse, I think I did it! I may have accidentally sent you a friend request, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Amy!

Yeah, I have a games posting list, so everyone doesn't need to see my bonuses or whatever.

More feral cats is pretty much always a bad choice, isn't it?

Not as long as my city's developers keep renovating buildings downtown and sending waves of mice scurrying into the alleys/occupied buildings. Feral cats don't pop out of my bathtub drain or poop on my countertops, so I'm in favor of a population explosion of them rather than mice. I also have a faint hope that if there are enough cats lounging around outside the building's pigeons will decide to roost elsewhere.

Sometimes peoples' inability to comprehend and communicate AND FERFUCKSSAKE LOGIC HERE makes me want to toss them all into the stream at the base of the ravine.

OMG, a local weatherman on TV just said, talking about rain, "Will the weekend be jeopardized??" Um, I'm pretty sure there will still be a weekend.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

In its defense, Gardens of Time has an actual story line and characters that are surprisingly well-written (considering the whole thing is in second-person dialogue). Also I find hidden object games to be kind of zen-inducing.

One of my deliberate strategies with Facebook gaming friends is to find foreign ones, since the possibility of stalking seems rather low and my political views are probably not going to bother them/vice versa. (And even if it did, most likely we'll be posting in different languages.)

I am ... weirdly opposed to interacting with strangers on the internet. That sounds completely idiotic, I know, but you guys aren't strangers. Everyone else ... is.

I hear you, Amy. A number of gaming friends game under a separate account with a fake name and no interaction besides social game posts even if there's often official policy against it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thank you notes after the interview--email or handwritten? Help! I'm so out of practice.
