Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, that personality quiz informs me I am 84% Willow Rosenberg, Tina Belcher and Will Byers and 83% Charlie from Perks, which is all quite nice, but also 81% Bran from GoT and 76% Georgiana Fucking Darcy and Buster Bluth, which HOW DARE. Also only 71% Radar O'Reilly or Chidi Anagonye, which I question. But at least only 24% Mister Wickham and 19% Gaston, so that's a relief.
I had to scroll down pretty far to get to a character/show I actually knew, but once I did I got 81% for Ben Wyatt AND Twilight Sparkle, which, honestly, I find incredibly flattering!
Awesome, Scola. Also, awesome Scola.
Lisah, sending love and healing vibes your and your dad and family's way. That is a very scary and apt description. I'm so sorry this is happening.
Also on the JZ love train.
Meara, I hope it's a no news is good news scenario... though I understand the worry.
How's new home, Scrappy?
Scola, that makes sense. And thanks, though I'm planning on waiting till things firm up a bit before talking about it because everything is stressful omg and I just cannot even with dealing with all the people.
lisah, I hope that he can get out of his loop.
I got 93% Ender Wiggin, 92% Ariadne from Inception (whose character traits I basically remember not at all), 91% Michale Scofield (Prison Break) (???), and then my 90%s: Hermione, Gandalf, Daniel Jackson (Sam Carter comes in at 89. Are they basically the same character?), and Jemma Simmons. I am also equally Remus Lupin and Elizabeth Bennet (87%) and just slightly more Jean-Luc Picard (88%). So, there's that. I would take it again to see about how the questions they sample influence the results, but that is a rabbit hole I do not need.
I don’t think I can accurately assess myself to do that quiz.
lisah, ~ma for your father.
Lisah, sending positive vibes for a resolution soon for your dad. How scary and frustrating. Good that there was no stroke!
Tom. I hope it is a positive experience for you. Good job taking that step!
I found that pretty challenging, sj, and doubt I did a good job of it. But my results seem reasonable anyhow.
I used pretty random percentages, but the results made sense.
Weirdly, I found the slider to be less fraught than the binary choices. Yes, you can/have to be more precise, but being able to answer "mostly" and "kinda" (only with numbers) was nice.
I tried the quiz: it asked me questions about er. I haven’t seen that show since it went off the air. My top match was Raj from The Big Bang Theory plus lots of TVs characters I didn’t recognize.
Gus - your daughter & new son-in-law make an adorable couple & seem so happy.
So much ~ma for your dad, lisah.
I don't know who Twilight Sparkle is; rather than google it, I choose to believe Jessica is bragging about being 81% My little Pony.
I haven't tried this quiz. Clearly, I need to go back for the link and give it a go.
I'm glad you signed up for the class, Tom. I hope you get so much out of it!
ION: In addition to the guy named Tino that we hired a couple of months ago, we've got vendors on site and one of them is named Tino as well - send help!
