Welcome to Gaia! ::

Open hostilities became too intense for regular dining as a family like 7 years ago.

I've largely been on my own cooking for myself since I was 9. I guess that's why I like it!

Yes, now leave me alone as I make my own dinner.

Actually. The subject of "Special school" was broached several times during my grade school education.

And by that I mean stupid school. Where my electives ranged from carving s**t into a desk I don't own 101 to "I'm too tired to think of another class."

But it was probably just a passive aggressive way of scaring me into being an indigo child or some s**t.

Now when they have a child who needs pills to help him ******** calm down, they don't want to.

Kid screaming PUUUUUSH and screeching while (Failing to in this case) s**t in a pull-up at 6 and a half? Beyond help. We don't want to make him sad like our first special child.

Yeah yeah. "First World Problems."

ATLEAST YOU HAD BOOKS.

Back in my day we didn't have water to drink. We all spit in a cup and drank it. And God damn it, we liked it.

It's strange when someone you know and talk to says something and the only thing you can think of as a reply is something very nerdy or something they would know nothing about, so you just don't say anything.

"I appreciate you!"

Fish's mind:
-Beedle from Windwaker's long-anticipated gift
-How many Gratitude Crystals would that be worth?

It's worse when you actually DO make the joke and then they don't get it and you look stupid when you realize that. But I hate the people that make jokes that they know the other person won't get to try to feel superior to them. I knew a guy named Shawn that would make 4chan meme jokes in front of my ex all the time (they knew each other before I knew him) and she would just force some laughing.

How about when you make a funny joke around older people, and then someone asks what it's from, and you don't want to say video games?

I made a reference to one of Catherine Sforza's lines in ACII and it was so spot on for the situation, and people laughed, but then it got really quiet because I didn't think to lie and say it was from a movie.
