Some kind of central Asian I'm thinking.

Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome ~ Border of Life: http://youtu.be/Zis2TtxdFjQ

Yuyuko's Final Spell theme (Ressurection Butterfly ~ 80% Reflowering): http://youtu.be/69jezLrwbU4

And to give these two pieces of music some context, here's a video of the game fight (yes, those are all bullets. Try to avoid them if you want to live. Seriously): http://youtu.be/w0vF-ixYAjY

This might sound weird, but the best characterized (best written, really) fic I've found for Tiger and Bunny is an AU.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/344901

That author is good in general, but I'd recommend this story even if you're not a fan of AUs.

*bemoans dropped stories I could have written*

Wow, a Northern Exposure secret?!

I like Marilyn and Joel's relationship, but not in a shippy way. She was a great counter balance to his insanity.

Plus, I did love Joel and Maggie together.

Could it be this fic?:

Right? I never fully drop a fandom but I only really have the energy for one or two major fandoms at a time. Maybe I just get too emotionally involved or something, but I could not take more than that. Kinda jealous of those who manage it, ngl.

It's less conspiratorial, but I can get oddly obsessed with the incredibly prolific poetasters who turn up on the Internet on places like Poemhunter and places like that.

There's this one guy in particular named Francis Duggan - he has over 8000 poems up on Poemhunter. That's insane, to me, that someone could even write that many poems. He's apparently quite elderly as well, an Irish emigre who lives in Ireland, and I'm kind of obsessed with him, because most of his poems are really bad but there's these occasional moments when he manages to put something really gracefully, almost by accident. It's very strange.

Anyway yeah, that's the weird corner of the Internet that I've been in lately. Here's his page if anyone's interested: http://www0.poemhunter.com/francis-duggan/ and here's my favorite poem of his: http://www0.poemhunter.com/poem/con-the-master/

OP of #5 is done for the night but definitely did not post this, fwiw.

This is going to sound vain, but intelligence and people reading. It makes me overthink everything and make assumptions and get anxious much more quickly and commonly than I'd care to admit. It's good for gut feelings and school, but not much else. I'd want to get rid of the anxiety that comes with all that.

Yeah, but it's levels of disgusting to the point that the fucked up high you'd get is just not worth it. I guess I've just never wanted to get high enough to bother with gross things.

Hah, good to know. I was mostly joking....mostly.

Hate it, love it, the worst you've said/heard, best you've heard/said, real, fictional IDC. Go anon for all i care I'm just intensely curious about it rn.

Sorry, I didn't realize I could only major in one fandom.

No real life experience, but it is one of my favorite things in fic. Has to be just right and can easily be really really awful, but when it's right omgyes. Annnd of course when you ask my mind goes blank and I can't think of any examples.

I wish you had a way to prove her wrong. Stuff like that irritates me so much because I've had it happen to me quite often and usually the accusations are so baseless they make my head spin.

Aww...

I wish I could, but my dad hates them. :(

That, and I like on the other side of the globe.

I hope you can find a home for them soon!

Then she sucks at playing games. You don't do that.

Ugh they really do whine about EVERYTHING for real. I wish I could be unfair and just throw it off as coming from a bunch of whiny teenagers, but that's untrue. Something about that site turns fandom into a buncy of needlessly needy folk.

Would it be rude to write to an author and ask if they know how long the fic will be and if they have an end in mind?

There's this fic that I started reading when it was first posted and the author updated pretty regularly. It's awesome, but it's dragging on a bit and each chapter is pretty short. It's up to 30/? with no end in sight and I just...really don't want to keep reading this if it's a forever WiP. Would it be rude to ask? Or should I just bookmark it and check in now and then.

(This is when I wish AO3 would have a "notify when complete" notification.)

Some cough syrups I liked the taste of when I was younger, but I never drank a bottle... Still, every once in a while even when I wasn't sick I'd still have a spoonful because it helped teenaged!me sleep.

I'm a freaking bleeding heart/naturally forgiving. Since most people believe that holding grudges [or whatever you want to call not forgiving] is a bad thing, I usually get the 'it's a good thing!' response but well...There's a time and place for grudges, and there have been times holding one would have gotten me to a much healthier place [IE away from a toxic or abusive person] much faster instead of following 'forgive and forget'.

I can cut ties with people too easily, especially romantic ties. People always talk about how they wish they could get over their hurt feelings after a break up with a romantic partner or a close friend. I've never really had that problem. I guess it's because I always expect things to turn out bad eventually, so when they do I leave before I can get really hurt by it. I have a few friends that I'm close to and who I have began to trust and feel for over the years, but I've never been trusting of romantic partners. I'm too quick to think to myself that I need to leave romantic partners and I'm always the one to break up with them.

I think it stems from my childhood and how my mother always picked really abusive partners. While she always clung onto these people, I think I turned out the opposite. Where I run away as fast as I can from anyone who shows a sign that they might be like my mother's previous boyfriends. So yeah, I know it's messed up and I wish I had the capacity to trust people I date more often or have the feeling of giving them the benefit of the doubt.

You shouldn't care about it. If they end up not liking your stuff they'll just unfollow you. No big deal.

Agreed.

Totally thought you were just talking about ingrown hairs until you clarified it's just a buzzing in this case ha :')

Seriously though, you're scalp is just more exposed now. Quicker to dry, more easily exposed to hair product, and whatever. Seconding tea tree oil.
