Strix, I am so sorry. Thinking of you.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
"Persephone, I went as far as to think the infinitive of the verb was "to misle". I didn't find out until university, at which point my sister realized she'd independently made the same mistake."True fact: to this day I have to remind myself that "to misle" is not a real verb.
Happy to be in such good company.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sorry, Strix. That is just egregious piling on.

I'm sorry, Strix.
Jessica, fingers crossed that you fake it until you make it tomorrow.
True fact: to this day I have to remind myself that "to misle" is not a real verb.
I think my first mangled pronunciation of a word I'd only read before was "ennui." Pretty sure it went something like "en-you-eye" because I didn't know its origin was with cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

I thought "awry" was pronounced "AW-ree," and that the word I heard people SAY every so often was "arigh."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought "mausoleum" was pronounced maw-SO-leeum. Even now I have to think about it. Usually I just say tomb.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And now I'm looking at the "misled" quote and I can't stop hearing the name it begins with as "Purse-a-phone."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Strix, I am so, sorry. I can't...that's awful. {{Strix}} {{D}}
If you think about it, it makes sense. ita was one of the people who brought us here and she still has that ability. There's something beautiful about her building community still.
I like this.
So my friend has been looking for media that isn't depressing and I am dealing with grief, so we saw The Babadook.
Which turns out to be a story about grief and depression.
We hugged and laughed about it afterward and we didn't know why it was so funny but it felt good.
