Whinge and whine are pronounced differently! Also. It’s called English so technically we’re doing it right & you just don’t have enough letters ;) haha

Do you not say “whinge" in America? It means the same thing, but it’s a different word to whine and whining.

Haha. Whinge and whine are pronounced differently. (=

So, a few pages after I posted this another character said the word whine, and my basic reaction was "I just made a really ignorant text post, someone's gonna call me out on it, but I'm too tired to go edit it". Thanks for being nice about it guys, haha. But yeah, I just looked up the pronunciation of this, and I have never heard someone use this word in my life. I'd assumed they were the same because I looked up the meaning of the word and it was the same as whine essentially and I believe one sight basically told me it was the Brit- English (I never quite know hot to say this.) alternative to whining. 

Oh well, you learn something new everyday. If anyone wants to elaborate on any differences between the words, that'd be great!

5, 6 & 16

5. Weird things I do when I'm alone.

I dance very very strangely. I talk to myself in various accents. I make grotesque faces at myself in pretty much any reflective surface. I narrate whatever I'm doing as if it's an opera.

6. How I'd spend ten-thousand bucks.

I'd put it away to save for my future teashop/bookstore.

16. A drunken story

Oh, good lord. So back in May I had quite the drunken shitshow. Kids, never play beer pong with liqueur. I'd recommend not playing beer pong, to be honest. I had too much too fast and there was apparently a lot of ass grabbing on my part. I threw a cup of water on someone's butt. I decided it would be a nice idea to lay on the grass outside and I was carried inside and proceeded to vomit in a bucket while drunkenly apologizing profusely.

Your hair looks great! Is it naturally wavy?

Thank you! And, yeah, it has a natural wave to it. When my hair isn't too thick and heavy, those waves become curls.
