Happy New Year to all my friends and online family here at AFF!
-
We’re in the middle of a devastating drought, and our country is literally burning to the ground, so it’s the same as last year so far. But if we actually get rain finally, then it will be a good new year!

I’ve got friends down in New South Wales, Melrick, and I’m thinking of you guys and wishing for rain for you.
We’re all sending you rain vibes at this point, I hope.

I fucking love the Ghibli movie, Howl’s Moving Castle… That’s all…

I have received a final grade of 8 (out of 10) for my BA thesis in Japanese language and culture. So I will be graduating with a BA degree and a grade point average (is that what it’s called in English?) of 7,75.

That’s some incredible work you’ve done – a round of applause from the US!

I need more Lee Pace in my life!!! ::grumbles angrily:: stupid, lousy VOD services…

I want to wish a happiest of birthdays, to our magnificent @BronxWench
May the day be wonderful and full of delight. And here’s to another full circle around the sun.
All gifts in the form of shimmering gold and very sparsely clothed pretties that we may have in our possession, especially of the impish and the elvish variety, will be happily accepted. Gold will be kept, but pretties will be returned, unscathed and very exhausted.

Thank you! It was nicely uneventful, which I appreciate no ends!

Hope you had a great one, BW!

I did indeed, thank you!

I’m just going to say it… Congratulations, America.

I literally cried from sheer happiness watching President Biden and Vice President Harris take their oaths of office.

Yessss, I’m not even in the US and it was such an immediate relief once the inauguration was over and it was done. He was gone. I don’t think Biden will be perfect by any stretch of the imagination but so much damage has been done and he clearly knows that his job is to help us heal.

Is it a sign that I’m getting old, or that the parental units are getting old, when the pair of them go down on their hands and knees to peer under the kitchen cabinets, and my first thought is, “Are they both going to be able to get up ok?”….?

Whatever you do, don’t look at their subscriber list either.
-
@Wilde_Guess You are very right. I am so lucky to still have them both. They’ve both had to bury their parents already, only one of whom passed from old age. And my parents are still relatively healthy so I am selfish and hope they’ll stick around for a while longer.
-
Ditto, mine are rapidly reaching the age their folks were at passing, I hope they push beyond, maybe their “better” vegan diet will help?

But still… eight boxes of stuff… mother says I have too much crap.

He had a damn long run, and was lucky to have his health for so much of it, but it still feels a bit of a blow. What a creative force the world has lost.
-
So, the paternal unit has turned 69, and after two weeks of careful consideration I have decided to spend the rest of the year sniggering. He does not think it’s that funny...

So… Ikebana scissors are dangerous, people! Just putting that out there, so you are warned… *goes for the liquor cabinet* When flower arranging becomes the most dangerous thing you do at school, drinking on Wednesdays should be mandatory.

I think I might need a quintuple one… thank you, Bronxie.

flower arranging??? yeesh and I thought I was bad!
-
I feel horrible saying this, but thankfully it wasn’t me this time, but the boy sitting next to me. He managed to slice into the side of his finger about 1/3 of an inch, all the way through from front to back. The doctor at the health center sent him to hospital to get stitches. It was kind of horrifying, and I’m still cringing.
-
So… now I can cross getting sun/heatstroke off the bucket list, I guess…

IMO, your bucket list needs editing.
-
Mmm, you have a point, George. But this is more the “I’ve never...” bucket list. Another item on that list is “I’ve never broken a bone.” My plan is to keep that one on the list until I die. I just do not want to know how that feels.
But, at least now I know what the first signs of heatstroke feel like, and how to avoid getting it again.
-
I’ve broken my arm and my big toe in separate incidents. My toes I just left to heal on its own, but my arm was the shape of a Z so I couldn’t really leave that to heal on its own. lol
-
So… we just had our second police shooting…

Yeah, you don’t have this gem (which I found a moment ago)…. https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/arvada-officer-mistakenly-shoots-another-officer
-
be safe @WillowDarkling!
-
Thank you, Kagome, but no worries. The incident happened on the east coast and I’m on the west coast. And the person who got shot is out of ICU now, recovering in hospital.
He was going berserk with firearms outside a residence, shooting at other houses and at the cops when they arrived, and did not obey orders to put down his weapons. The police up here do not regularly carry firearms and only use handguns as an absolute last ditch measure. And they are trained to shoot to immobilise not to kill.

So…. I haz BA degree in English, now…

That awkward moment when you see a “Report notification” for the first time in weeks and think to yourself “Oh, there’s someone reporting something.” and then it creeps up on you… I am the moderator and it’s my job to deal with that. (We're not mentioning that I’m also the one who made the damned spam report!)

Keeping myself on my toes, apparently
And isn’t that how one usually gets a promotion?
-
“Promotions” usually entail going up into management, thus I try to avoid them!
-
See, this is why I was smart, made myself the resident Neko, and now they can’t get rid of me, so they give me shiny stuffs to keep me quiet, and less bitey
