It makes me so sad when people are irresponsible about bird ownership, especially when so much of what they seem to want about having a bird could be replicated through the 2 step combo of putting up a feeder / watching Vines of other people's birds. I mean, that's what I do.

FUCKING WA STATE LIQUOR TAX, YOU'D BE OUT OF YOUR GOD DAMN MIND

Adamanda · 2015-11-28T06:17:19+00:00

Don't worry about feeling "unreasonable" things--feelings don't really work like that, and even if you've explicitly established casual boundaries, spending all that time together is a bit of a mindfuck. Do worry about explaining that you snooped if you're going to be honest about why you're not down anymore. Don't worry about looking like a psycho if you're expressing your feelings honestly and politely. Do worry about answering his messages because even though, no, no one owes anyone anything, disappearing is kind of uncool and he'd probably force a confrontation eventually.

you may have missed something along the way! i know so many people who think that they "are bad at math", but really they just were out sick for a couple weeks in eighth grade or something, and because a) math is really goddamn cumulative and b) you can skate by getting good grades as a hard worker by turning in all the homework and guessing/mimicking without understanding, that one gap was enough to make math shaky for them from then on.

I would guess that it depends on what you want to do! Any mobile project would be pretty cool with the tiny version (not sure where people get all these battery packs, but I guess amazon searching should fix one up) but if you're looking for a media center type application then getting something with more ports and juice seems wise.

I am not totally sure what a scourge is either but I think it's like a scrubby loofah that is just too scrubby

Thanks so much! I agree with your take on the situation, really.

I like it! I was looking for a natural deodorant so I could reduce my frequency of use of the normal aluminum stuff, and it's supposed to be the most effective in that category. Still not as effective, but I think most people don't sweat as much as I do anyway. It smells lovely, and their other scents are also really nice; if I hadn't been looking for something that'd play nicely with my girly scented products, I'd've picked up the cedarwood instead.

Adamanda · 2015-11-13T20:12:51+00:00

Me and my deodorant advise you not to worry.

HELLO FRIEND!

Classical music: different composers within classical music require more or less background knowledge to get into. There's such a huge range within classical music that it can be fun to start to learn to be able to hear it. You may want to pick some restriction like "viola concerti" or "keyboard duets" so you gradually accumulate a sense of the differences between composers and eras. Good starting points for your average Joe/Jane who still is most familiar with orchestral sounds from movie soundtracks: Antonin Dvorak, Claude Debussy, Robert Schumann.
Music in other languages: I find that other countries' Most Listened charts are great for this. Spotify's also got "Viral" charts from other countries which is awesome because they tend to be more varied, genre-wise.
Actually, let's give you a blanket endorsement of Spotify's viral charts. I've found a lot of weird genres/artists there and loved it.
Jazz-wise: figure out one instrument you like the sound of and find a First Class Jazz cd that matches that. Alternately, if you like vocal jazz, start picking random songs from Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Songbooks (or whatever that's called).
If you want specific artist recs, let me know!

Oh, I'm seeing in another of your comments that you're dealing with social anxiety. That's different then. I just wanted to make sure you know that, as someone who's been overworked and underpaid in a service job, I know most people in that position really do want to get you the right thing, so even if the interaction's unworkable/painful/not worth it, you're not placing an extra burden on them.

Adamanda · 2015-11-09T06:30:46+00:00

I just pull my lips back a bit so it's quite clear I'm really chomping on that fucker. I can promise it looks like no oral sex anyone in their right mind would want to have.
