I noticed the other day that I'm dancing again. I didn't even really notice I'd stopped, truthfully, but having lost so much weight I'm feeling skinny again, which makes me feel like being attractive so I just dance to all music that comes on.
Love to giftbags and random people giving me credits just for asking and even when I don't ask @Alexina and @Moirean. You two made my night. Also mucho love @Moirean you have really made my time thus far fun

@Moirean Eh, classist maybe. A bit mean-spirited. Assuming everyone in the ghetto or who speaks that way is the same race is a bit extreme, though, don't you think?
How quietly this laptop runs, even when its 90 degrees. Literally cannot hear it at all.
I'm really loving the look and general feel of the Windows 8 GUI. I don't like how a lot of the apps don't have a "Here's what you missed while you weren't looking" feature, though. At least, when you're on the desktop.

A ghetto is, by definition, an impoverished part of a city inhabited by minority racial groups. In America, this definition encompasses specific racial minorities, and the "humor" of that blog is built on exaggerated stereotypes about these groups. Implying that I'm the one at fault because I don't find it funny is...I don't even know why you'd try to turn it around like that.

I'm sure this doesn't got for every 'hood (and I've surely not been to every hood), but there are actually a lot of different types of people who can and do live in the 'ghetto'. It's true! I didn't mean to launch some sort of personal attack by pointing out that fact, though.
This thread isn't meant for such a discussion however. Instead, let me express my love for the Internet and the catalyst for discussion it can be.
This. For the past few two months or so I've been working a pretty physically demanding job and it involves a lot of heavy lifting. I was in the shower last week and looked at my arms and was like, 'Sweeeeet muscle definition the likes I've never had before'.
Lovehate writing workshops. It's great to get direct feedback on what is working/failing, but sometimes it's like "...ouch." And I get nervous and blush constantly during the critique. Also ARRGHGHH I write like 2-3 papers in response and scribble all over other people's stuff and I get back stuff with, I kid you not, a single line saying "^had" between two words that don't even need that tense. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE GREEN PEN PERSON.
But, overall, love. Got me thinking and excited about revisions and upcoming pieces.
For many years now, I've read Chick Tracts for amusement (basically evangelical tracts put out by the conservative bigot Jack Chick) in which he makes little cartoons to show how things like Rock Music, Role Playing, sex, Fairie Tails and homosexuality are horrible, evil and taking away our souls so we can rot forever in Hell.
I've been sick for the past few weeks, started to get better, then lack of sleep has caused a relapse. I now sound like a 65 year old who has smoked all her life and is now coughing up her lungs, one hacking cough at a time.
I've spent the last 9 days on campus (weekend included) trying to work on my group senior project with my teammates. Being on campus on the weekend really sucks because come Monday morning, you feel like you should already be halfway into the week, but you AREN'T.
Now for the love. During our practice runs of the demo today, we were the only team (out of 7) that the professor didn't stop 5 minutes in and basically say "This sucks. Make it better and see me next Tuesday." Our program works and they've never failed a team that has a functioning program solely because they blundered their presentation. A huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and now it's just a waiting game to trudge through finals in these last 17 days before I finally GRADUATE!!!
I love that in a month or so I'll be going to visit Stabs and the fam.

I'm not sure why all of our avatars started showing when you click 'view recent posts,' nor am I sure why @Alistaire shows up three times, but I absolutely love the fact that there's pretty much an @Eleanor chibi army staring you in the face when you do.
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead. No squealin' remember, that it's all in your head.
I love and hate the conflict I created, I love the fact that it gave me something new to do and I actually won a fight against someone that is a known fighter even though I am not so good at it. I hate that I apparently made him mad enough IC to ignore me though. I am not aiming to you know alienate people. But either way fun bit!

I find some great irony that chibre is standing next to a tree.
