Yooo when they’re all fluffy, have you ever set them on fire? Because it makes the most satisfying little fwoosh noise

andsemicolon replied to your post:Positive point of the day: Was thanked profusely...

Hey I do not know which library you were at before, and if this is the one you just left then sorry, but the Sellwood one has a sign saying they need a new person?

I was not at the Sellwood one. I shall have to look into this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention! And if anyone else out there has noticed places needing people or heard about jobs, then please let me know.

Wait are you still in Seattle, or are you maybe down in Portland for the day? Please tell me this is the Portland Red Light!

Not Portland, sadly. It's the U-District location in Seattle. I should go to the Portland red light when I visit next month though.

andsemicolon replied to your post:I ran away from home for a week at sixteen (because I was a dingus) and breaking double digits cash-wise was a good day. According to the kids I talked to (who had run away for, like, legit reasons, like abusive families and shit) who'd been doing it for longer, every once in a blue moon someone would hand you a five or ten dollar bill, and that was a huge deal. Granted this was in early Bloomberg-era NYC, earnings were much leaner once I started hitchhiking and got to more rural areas.

I think they meant $10+, but I could be wrong.

I don't know and I await the answer with baited breath.

andsemicolon replied to your post:oh hey, impulse purchase time! I’ve decided...

Wait, I don’t actually know you. I thought I knew you. Huh.

the intersection of tumblr and Reed is so confusing like that

andsemicolon replied to your post:That black line = about how full a pill bottle is...

I dunno if this still exists, but my mom used to get her meds through an online pharmacy. Not only was it cheaper, but they mail them to you when you’re close to running out! Might work for you?

oh dang is this a thing??? wow

wait, I remember! my mom said she tried something like that and the off-brand medication they used gave her weird side-effects, so she told me not to do that.

but honestly its probably worth the risk because I am so amazingly bad at remembering to refill prescriptions oh my god

and I'm sure I could find a place that sells the dumb expensive stuff without too much trouble if there's actually any difference (which there probably isn't)

hmm me moving around between two cites for school might confuse their system a lot but I bet I could make it work.

thank you

Elevenses

The meme is to pick 11 people (tag and message them) and ask them 11 questions. They are supposed to do the same.

Old questions:

1. Tea or coffee?

Neither, generally. I usually roll 5 Hour Energy or uncaffeinated. or Bad Decisions (Jagermeister, liquid caffeine, and tonic water), but that's for special-occasion stupid.

2. What book most influenced your childhood?

The Number Devil, by Hans Magnus Enzenberger. 

3. Do you prefer sharing a bed or sleeping alone?

Sadly, I have no basis for comparison.

4. If you could live anywhere, at any time in history, when and where would it be?

The future. About 100 years or so. Long enough that I wouldn't ever have to die.

5. If you could live in any fictional universe, which would it be?

Girl Genius, if I could be a Spark. If not, The Diamond Age.

6. Do you think you have the great American novel in you?

No.

7. What would you do with your life if money was no object?

Run a really huge game store and buy an extra copy of everything for myself.

8. Do you read comics or graphic novels? What is your favourite?

Not any continuing works, though I do Elseworlds binges and other mini-continuities that include familiar characters without the 70 years of backstory.

10. Do you still sleep with a stuffed animal? (No shame, I’m 22 and I still have my beloved teddy bear, Sherbet!)

Not really, though I have a few stuffed animals scattered around.

11. Describe your dream home.

Oh man, I have put lots of thought into this. I got a book called "Houses architects design for themselves" and let my imagination run pretty wild. Prepare yourself.

Embedded into the side of a hill, cantilevered out so that there is a big concrete flat fire practice space under the bottom of the second-lowest story. Also goes pretty far back into the hill with another practice space (with a roughly two-story ceiling, like the one outside) that's enclosed and can be heated in winter.

Bottom floor of the cantilever; Gamers gonna game: A big gaming space with one of those fancy grandmother's-furniture-quality roleplaying tables (the name was maybe The Sultan?) and a bunch of space to store games, including big ones that stay in-progress for forever. Also space for a gaming rig (PC) and a movie/gaming console room.

Above that; Private living: Bedrooms set back into the hill, kitchen and sitting-around room out at the edge with nice windows. A home office and maybe another sitting-around room further back because I like the dark.

Top floor; Social things: Nice big room with big picture windows that I would be proud to show off and have parties in. Dining room. Basically, anyone who wasn't a good friend would never see anything below this floor (unless they were fire people); if it was architected really cleverly, it wouldn't be obvious there was anything else in the house.

And if I'm going all Magical Christmasland on this, a helipad on top and a private subway stop :-). Or else a garage in there somewhere and a green roof (basically a garden on top).

New questions: 

1. Would you really want to know? Even if it would hurt?

2. Favorite meal?

3. Least favorite thing about your favorite show/series/thing you're a fan of.

4. The most important advice you've ever been given.

5.  If you could live in any fictional universe, which would it be?

6. Would you rather live forever or have a guarantee you'd never have any great tragedy for the rest of your life? (This is a benevolent wish-granter, so that doesn't mean an abrupt death before you can have any new tragedy, which would, of course, be the easiest way.)

7. You have one word to describe your most intense memory. But you can't name an emotion.

8. Lawful or Chaotic?

9. You must pick novels, movies or video games. The rest are off-limits to you forever. Which and why?

10. What's the opposite of a table?

11. Describe your dream home.
