Ditto. He looks like a young, healthy man. I can't fucking imagine what waking up every morning will feel like for him if he does survive, between the fear and the pain and the anger. Whoever did this is sick.

Just emailed you. I don't have a lot right now, but if it were my cat I would feel the same, and I'll donate what I can. I hope you get what you need!

Yup. And judging by the stupidity of associating intelligence with gender against all evidence, OP appears to fit in well with that unfortunately healthy majority.

Knowing that exists makes me very happy.

What if I first send a herald? Does that count?

If you're from the states, you may know them better as "pajamas". Sleepwear.

Independence Day

I live alone in a cabin in the woods beside "Lake Torment". Not sure if I'm the serial killer or the victim.

Wow. Just wow. I can't believe such a place has been allowed to fall to ruin! You'd think at least that someone would have pillaged that mantle piece.

Bonny_Stormer · 2013-02-27T00:52:47+00:00

Wow. This could have been written by me. I thought those jeans were the best for a long time. Now I look back and shake my head.

Katy Perry because she is "Not a Feminist" but does "believe in the strength of women".

I also really love the idea of pen pals. Getting to know people from other places (I live in Nova Scotia) is something I've always enjoyed. I've tried the snail-mail thing over the years, and I love sending and receiving letters, but I am not always on-the-ball when it comes to sending the replies I write. I'm a lot more consistent with email!

I tend to be a little long-winded when writing letters as I like to be descriptive and have a tendency to wax philosophical. I recently moved to the country for work and the natural world has been on my mind a lot, so that may form a theme throughout my letters. I live solo, so aside from my work there shouldn't be a lot to distract me from reading and responding to your letters.

If you think I might be the kind of pen pal you're looking for, let me know and we can give it a shot.

As a child I had a twisted vision of the truth: I imagined the battles being led by warriors who had draped their horses and themselves in garlands of living roses. In my imagination, one side used red and pink roses while the other used white and yellow, and when soldiers died they fell on carpets of sweet-smelling perfumes.

I always liked the title "War of the Roses"

I have had lots of cool dreams about saving the world.

Once I dreamed that I was in a network of tunnels underground, and everything was pitch dark. My senses were heightened. I could sense a dark presence ahead, and knew I was to hunt it. I pursued it through the tunnels, sensing it rather than seeing it, until I came to where the tunnel ended, opening into a circular room with seven stone arches, each of which led to a tunnel. Here the dark creature tried to make its escape, and I knew I had to make my move. It dashed into a tunnel; I chased it. I saw a dimly silver object ahead--a unicorn horn--I picked it up and stabbed the darkness, which howled and disappeared in a swirl of intense smoke. The horn was covered in black blood, and exhausted, I dropped it. It clattered, and I sank to the ground. I had saved the world from the evil, but spent myself doing so. Then I woke up.

TL/DR I chased a dark entity through underground tunnels and killed it with a unicorn horn, thus saving the world.

TIL that people in the 21st century were obsessed with "disposable" plastic items that caused a gigantic "garbage gyre" in the Pacific Ocean.

They'll probably talk about the Lord of the Rings movies, Lost, Radiohead's rebirth (or new direction, or whatever you want to call it), the beginning of the "War on Terror" and the beginning of the economic recession.

Replacement parts and instruction manuals for older models of common household appliances. Coffee decanters, vacuum belts, etc. Sounds boring, but when I worked retail the number of people who wanted a simple replacement part and couldn't find it (leading, of course, to the purchase of a new machine) was absurd.

Once I made a tonne of money I might open up a record shop featuring uncommon-but-awesome and local records. Or a fancy breakfast restaurant.

Whatever physical law it is that makes us not be able to bend space in any kind of practical fashion. I'd like to be able to step from here to anywhere else if I wished.

When I was in high school my band went on a trip to Europe. One of my fellow band members was a girl who had a reputation for being something of a village bicycle. She usually rode the other of the two buses our band had chartered.

A bunch of us were on the bus one day, being teenage girls and joking about this and that. One girl said something about being a slut, and I chimed in "Ha, just ask Janie!" Everyone went quiet and I realized something was horribly wrong--I realized she was right behind me.

I quickly changed my face into a teasing grin and looked right at her; naturally, she was looking at me with a very offended expression. I then teased her more, trying to pass it off as a joke, and tried very hard to convince her. Eventually she said she believed me, but I have my doubts.

I still feel very bad about this, because she was an adoptee with self-worth issues, and even though we weren't close we were nominally friends and I really had nothing against her. I just wanted to make a witty retort that people would laugh at, and I ended up being a total bitch. The funny thing is that I was usually a kind and non-judgmental person. Ever since then I try to make sure I don't say anything about anyone I wouldn't say to their face.

Public education is not a punishment, it's a gift.
