WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE?  SHI YOU ARE AWESOME THANK YOU FOR LINKING THAT <3 <3 <3

I had plans to actually get some sleep tonight too!  But no, I get to have Alanna and Daine feels now.  I am the most wonderful kind of happily upset right now.

Ugh, people like that are ridic. <3

I honestly don't know why they keep saying it. It's not relevant. Like, my mom was talking about my cousin, who met her (ex)boyfriend in a bar, and my aunt goes, "Well, at least she didn't meet him on the internet."

Huh? What does it matter? He was a nice guy, they dated for a couple of years, we all liked him. Why is meeting a stranger on the internet worse than meeting a stranger in a bar?

That's nothing compared to my other aunt, though, who had a whole rant about some TV show she watches where people meet in person the people they've been talking to online and then usually find out that the other person has been lying about something (usually their appearance) and then they feel all hurt and betrayed, and apparently this means that you can't ever make lasting friends/relationships with people online, because the internet is entirely populated with ugly, lying losers. (Plus, she somehow managed to work in a heckton of cissexism and misgendered a trans man. Lovely, huh?)

And while we're on the subject of relatives saying things that make me want to scream, my grandma was talking the other day about how "people who choose not to have children are making a huge mistake," and my cousin and his wife agreed with her, and then went on to talk about how getting married "fulfills" you and ARGH MAKE IT STOP.

Sorry for dumping on you, I needed to vent. *hugs*

Hell, I've posted video of me handflailing about things :P http://shiyiya.tumblr.com/post/28545391492

Oh hey, I flail like that too! Although it's more my anxious handflailing that looks like that. My happy handflailing is more flapping my hands up and down and bouncing in place. But yep!

I do it, but not around other people, because other people suck and usually give me weird looks.

Everyone gives me weird looks, but I can't turn it off. Most of the time I don't even realize I'm doing it until someone points it out to me. Ever since I was little, my mom told me I make "happy book noises" when I'm reading. I can't stop doing it, even if I want to.

My roommate thinks it's cute. She's probably the only person I know in meatspace who doesn't think it's funny or annoying.

Yes, I do, and my relatives have also given me weird looks for it. I'm not exactly a bastion of normalcy, though.

I just kind of need reassurance that I'm not totally alone and weird right now. Idk, my family has a way of making me feel like everything I do is strange and mildly amusing. And I might keep that tag and use it again, because I need to ask, "Is this a normal thing that other people do, or is it a weird-Emmy thing?" a lot and I like having my blog organized.

Hello! I remember who you are, of course. :)

(Most of the people I follow on here are people that I follow and sis doesn't, so I haven't kept up with their username changes and whatnot. #badTumblrer)

Aerin, 09/09, B, is anything to do with living in my grandmother's motorhome actually a good idea?

For this one I drew two sets of three cards.

One set is "Positives" and contains the Queen of Swords, the Queen of Staves, and the Ace of Swords.

The other set is "Negatives" and contains the Ten of Coins, the Knave of Staves, and the Nine of Coins (modified by the King of Cups).

If those seem really backwards to you that's because they kind of are... Swords and Staves are generally more negative situations where Coins and Cups are positive ones. I think in this instance the intended message is that the "Positives" set talk about what may happen if you do that, whereas the "Negatives" set talk about what may happen if you do something else.

Going into detail, the Queens are probably two different women, one worse than the other. The Queen of Swords will hurt people as long as it furthers her goal. The Queen of Staves is just a troublemaker. The Ace of Swords is the real biggie here because it's just blatantly telling you you're going to have problems down this route, and it's going to hurt.

On the other hand you've got the Ten of Coins which talks about great happiness usually having to do with other people AND the Nine of Coins which is about positive situations. It's not 100% peaches and roses, as the Knave there tells us (he's a troublemaker like his Queen), but you've definitely got support in the King of Cups - he's all about love and family.

So unless I'm reading these way wrong the answer there seems to be, "Nooooope".
