  1. I hate making simple mistakes. The type that while you're in the midst of making them, you realize your mistake and it's the past the point of being saved and just "...oh n o"
  2. OMM: I'll never understand all the hate skim milk gets
  3. that is pretty hard to top... and I remember random select moments from my time in grade school too. There's nothing about them that makes they particularly stand out but they're committed to my memory for one reason or another
  4. I like long weekends ...do people usually not listen to music with headphones on? o_o;
  5. The school I went to my freshman year had like a... I don't quite know if it was a convent or if the nuns living there were from the convent across the street or what--but there was this building on campus were like 30 or so nuns lived. It was just kinda comforting to know that at any given time there were a bunch of nice old ladies across from the drop off circle.
  6. OMM 1: why is everyone in this anime so angsty OMM 2: the month ends a week from today wat ...does he escape emotional harm though? u_u it's probably terrifying weighing only like 10lbs and having some 5ft-something almost fall on you that does sound pretty painful though
  7. Majority of the floors in my house are hard tile so me trying to fall over her probably wouldn't end well for either of us
  8. yu yu hakusho
  9. I wish for a better laptop battery
  10. art supplies stores
  11. I've kicked my cat quite a few times ;--; She doesn't even blend into the floors or anything I usually just won't be looking or she'll run in front of me and the only options are to trip over her or kick her ;-----; She usually forgives me after a couple treats though.
  12. "I'm gonna beat your face up so bad even kittens won't look at you!" "The moment you stop accepting challenges is the moment your life ends."
  13. I found out that it did indeed snow 5 inches last night
  14. When I was little and I'd be put in time out, I'd always ask to go up to my room for the rest of the time instead of sitting on the stairs. Then I'd just end up playing with the toys I had in my room until the rest of the time was up.
  15. tried to fix my sleep schedule seeing as I woke up at 5pm it wasn't a successful attempt
  16. The only thing I've cheated on was my first 3rd grade spelling test. I forgot how to spell "around"
  17. When I rolled out of bed today I almost stepped on my cat ...sorry cat if it makes you feel any better my foot hitting your head wasn't a good feeling for me either
  18. Hunter x Hunter 2011 OST - Ginpatsu no Shounen, Killua's theme
  19. Foster the People - Broken Jaw
  20. I pity the parents in the sense that they'd rather have a dead child than a happy, healthy transgender child. I find them more despicable than anything though. Aside from the things the parents were saying to their kids, in Leelah's case at least, not sure if Zander was also put through conversion therapy, they also paid "therapists" to verbally abuse her. I don't mind people who have religious viewpoints, I went through six years of Catholic school, I know religion's not evil, it just bothers me when that's used as a way to make your child feel terrible for coming out to you about who they really are. They're both incredibly brave for coming out at all, I can't imagine what kind of slap in the face it is to be immediately rejected after that. And the fact that both sets parents still misgendered their children after they died is really heartbreaking. I don't believe Zander expressed any worry about transitioning (if he even planned on transitioning later on) but I also found it really sad Leelah believed she wouldn't be able to successfully transition after age 18 as that's not true. I'm sure it helps to start when you're younger (going through the wrong puberty probably makes what gender dysphoria a trans kid has 10x worse and that's when the secondary sex characteristics kick in) but that doesn't mean you'll look odd if you transition later on. Transitioning's about making yourself happy. I can understand her fear of transitioning later on though as transwomen are often the victims of violence and not passing could potentially put one in a dangerous situation. But that doesn't mean you won't "look the part" if you start hormones later on. Isabella Bennett from Steam Powered Giraffe is a good example of this, she started hormones about a month and a half before turning 29 back in August, and she looks great if I do say so myself. Society's definitely taking steps toward becoming more trans friendly though there still needs to be a ton improvement. As Leelah stressed in her suicide note, transgender stuff (and just better sex education and LGBT stuff as well) needs to be taught in schools, the earlier the better. Children are in general more accepting than adults so that'll eventually lead to an overall more accepting society and environment for transpeople and it'll help any young trans kids figure out that there's not anything wrong with them. More shelters for trans youth would probably also help so trans teens can get out of their unhealthy home environments and kicked out trans teens will have a safe place to go. There's also the whole public restroom thing with how trans people shouldn't be nervous to use public restrooms. Nobody's ever exactly thrilled about public restrooms but being nervous about using one out of fear that you might be looked at funny, questioned why you're there, get a rude comment directed towards you, or even physically hurt just sounds awful. As you said, it's not an easy fix. There will always be people who are unaccepting and ignorant that'll want to hold the whole thing back and keep society from progressing to a trans safe place. But at the very least, awareness of what trans people (especially trans youth and their unsupportive, occasionally abusive environments) face on a daily basis is going up and that's helping. It's not going to be an overnight change but slowly but surely it's happening and at the end of the day that's all that matters in my book; that society's progressing and not regressing. Considering how fast same sex marriage is getting legalized and more accepted hopefully protection and support of transgender lives will follow in suit of that c: I feel like this is just me spouting off my very strong opinions on the matter. I tried to keep this factual in one sense or another but I apologize if this comes off more opinionated than I intended it to
  21. My sleep schedule is also horrible. I was up until 8am this morning (or yesterday technically since it's just past midnight where I live now). I wasn't up for any good reason. I don't even remember the last time I had a sleep schedule. I just have the bad habit of just sleeping when I want, , , , That fortunately doesn't affect my appetite though \o/ OMM: ...it bothers me when that when you google "define affect" the word "effect" is used in it's definition
  22. I wish that I'll be motivated enough to start working out once it gets warmer
