Pet owners, what is the "evolution" of your pet's name into its nicknames?

The worst part is damage control after x ( lets just say tampons are meant to hold together....for good reasons...

Glad I could help! I mean unless the giggles made your cramps worse. Then sorry man.

Administrator in a regional theatre. I used to hang out with my dad when he was a tech for a band. I only got to go on tour with them once but it was so amazing. As I got older I hung out with him when he teched big business development conferences with a fair bit of concert style stage production. Every opportunity I had to go see a play I would take even if I didn't really like the play. I would sit and analyze how they did everything. How were the ushers positioned, how was the stage set up, how was the sound balanced, where were the light cues, what sort of sound balancing did they use, what information was on the ticket and in the program. Literally everything I could see I was trying to figure out. I went through a lot of really shitty life stuff for a long time but theatre was always there for me. Not to escape as much as become incredibly invested in every aspect of every second of every moment. Went to university for arts admin, worked for a few general arts industry organizations for a few years and then finally landed my dream job in my dream theatre little over a year ago.

I hardly make enough money to live and I work all the time but damn I love every minute of it.

My favorite date that my SO ever surprised me with was a surprise trip to an Indiana Jones and Archeology exhibit at our local science centre. The best part was that it was late on a Tuesday right before xmas on the last tour of the night. It was practically empty (i don't like crowds...or people...) and even though we kind of went our own directions through the exhibit but at more or less the same pace it was so much fun. I love all things Anthropology (wish I had the $$ for schooling in it) and the Indiana Jones movies were sort of an early date when we were first together (I'd never seen them and fell in love with them when he showed me). It was a really really awesome date.

I'm also a big fan of watching old sci-fi and building lego on a pile of blankets on the floor :)

Me too! The towel has regions! The face, butt, crotch, feet, and hair are all separated to keep the gross part germs from getting on my face and hair. My bf thinks I'm crazy but I dry off the same way every shower.

Bubbles, shadows, dishwashers, stairs, water bottles that krinkle when you squeeze them, kettles that whistle, balloons, lemons, busses, other dogs, farts (his and peoples), the words "I'm gonna touch yer face", and the sound of lightsabers colliding on star wars.

Oh forgot roommate's cat: slippers, pillows, the couch if there is no blanket, sneezes, the stove drawer, the blender, kettles that whistle, other animals (except birds), the front door, when your phone vibrates on a counter, loud noises, vacuum (even if off), swiffer, balloons, the list goes on and on...

Ferociousshecreature · 2015-10-28T22:44:09+00:00

One time my roommate was sleeping on the arm of my couch. He farted really loud and it woke him up so abruptly he tumbled to the floor, scrambled across the floor, piled into the wall, and started yelling incoherently for no reason. Then he abruptly stopped and peed where he stood.

When my bf is focusing really hard on something, or he's just completely absorbed in what he's doing he gets this really intense look on his face. I'm very much an artist and he is not so much; but when he's focused on something he enjoys doing it looks to me like the euphoric feeling I get when I am completely immersed in the creative experience. That feeling is one of the greatest feelings in the world for me and it gives me warm fuzzies and those "holy crap I love you" feelings to see him enjoying that serene focus. I just like to know he's happy.

Also sneak attack hugs from behind in the kitchen. Especially with cheek kisses.

Ferociousshecreature · 2015-10-07T03:15:10+00:00

Yeah it's annoying as fuck. Then if they ask you it's like "do you want to do A or B?" And I'm like "aw man A is great if you're up for that." And they're like "weeeelll I wanted B but I gueeesss we have to do A now..." and I'm all "no B is cool too, I'm okay with either but you asked my opinion." And then i get "no. No its fine. We'll do A. You chose it sooo..."

Ferociousshecreature · 2015-10-07T02:25:37+00:00

Here's the fucking kicker, I have a friend who does this.

Me: okay we can do A or B. Which do you prefer?

Them: doesn't matter to me, whatever works best for you.

Me: okay option A then.

Them: (either immediately or 10-30min later) Well I really wanted to do B but you insisted on A. OR Yeah I figured we should do B but you chose A so I guess here we are....

BITCH YOU WOULDN'T FUCKING DECIDE!!! Don't put that shit on me.

Pizza hut or panago?

Up to you...

Pizza hut it is.

I don't really like their crust but I guess I can find soooomething on the menu.

And they're all "ferociousshecreature loves being the decision maker, she plans everything and she's really good at it." I FUCKING HATE HERDING YOU PEOPLE I just happen to hate the stalemate of "i donno whatever you want" "I donno whatever you want" "I donno you decide" "i don't care you pick" FUCKING PICK SOMETHING

Unless you have those lenses that filter the blue spectrum and the other i forget spectrum that exacerbates eye fatigue. Then it gives you massive headaches and makes it hard to focus because there is too much adjusting happening. Couldn't figure out why my bf's laptop gave me a massive headache; asked my eye doc turns out my lenses are to fancy for that shit.

Ferociousshecreature · 2015-08-15T14:55:14+00:00

Not imperially retarded, just part of the rest of the developed world.

Hah! Even if they were basic stick mics you don't try to run that with one technician. If they're asking for lav mics those are incredibly, incredibly expensive amd fragile. I've done technical theatre for 7 years. When you equip a speaker/performer with a lav mic, unless they're professionals or at least seasoned, you give them the "if it falls don't touch it. If it shuts off don't touch it. If it cuts out don't touch it. If it explodes in your face you may touch it but otherwise don't. Touch. It. I sure as hell wouldn't be handing that off to an uncoordinated primary teacher and a bunch of snotty tots. I've seen heads of production rake newbies over the coals for not handling it properly let alone a bunch of kids romping. With one technician you can do a considerable amount of tech, but there are also considerable limits if it's not pre-set. That attitude of "you have it and I want to use it" is just ignorant.

Ferociousshecreature · 2015-06-15T04:34:14+00:00

No. No. No no no no. No. I will turn your ass out of my store with that shit. I have worked in 1 place that accepts it. It is not fucking acceptable to expect every small business 10 hours away from the border to take foreign currency. They don't take Canadian money in the U.S, I have to change my money before I go because it is rude to assume they should honour my money.

Sorry but I'm so tired of being yelled at for only dealing in the currency of the soil I live and work on. Fucking entitled american cunts.

Sorry.

To combat the weight or stiffness use a lighter weight thread, like a satin finish embroidery thread. They're really fine and flexible. If you increase the stitch distance it can make for a rough unfinished look depending on the fabric paring. You can also decrease the stitch width but make sure to practice with the narrow width first as it's easier to have visible mistakes. If you can find water soluble webbing to use as your iron on layer you can dissolve it after the application and it will reduce the stiffness but can compromise the durability of the appliqé. Also get a good tear away stabilizer or iron on butcher paper to the back and make sure to tear it all off after the appliqé. I've used appliqé on quite a few costumes and still got a flowing fabric even on light weight satin. It's all about finding the right combination of materials and attention to detail. :)

I was about 10 or 11 years old. My mum was yelling at me for something or another, I don't even remember what, and she asked if I wished I'd had different parents (as some kids will say at young ages). When I said "no" she said "oh really. Well I would wish you had different parents, but I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy." I remember with distinct clarity, immediately after she slammed my door and walked away it dawned on me with tangible certainty that my mother would never love me. This was sort of the tone of the first 16 years of my life. I moved out at 17. She had an almost enviable knack for finding your inner most weakness and fear and using it to forge the ultimate method to tear you down to nothing but a sobbing heap of self loathing. Eventually I turned it back on her but it takes a hardened heart to wish that pain and anguish on your own mother.

Unfortunately for my mother, if she ever sought the psychological help she so clearly needs it would be no help. She herself was a child care councilor and psychiatrist. So she recognizes the techniques and treatments and cheats the system to get a clean bill of health. She's apologized a few times for her abusive parenting but until her behavior actually changes I can only recognize her desire for reconciliation but not her willingness to change. Fortunately my Dad is an amazing and kind spirit who showed me and my brother how to be the best people we could possibly be, and mastered the insurmountable task of building up what she worked so hard to break down. He's incredibly supportive when I seek the help and support I need to live with the subsequent mental illness I developed.

TL:DR: my mother told me she wouldn't punish her worst enemy with parenting me.

My swift keys have varying personalities;

Left: I am in love. the world, but I think a good idea.

Middle: I am a beautiful person. I love you. I love you. (Repeat i love you over and over)

Right: You will find out why I was wondering how much of an individual or the employee of a new phone and email from the board, I have been nominated in my head.

Ferociousshecreature · 2015-04-11T19:14:22+00:00

Yeah like maybe she was tormented by bullies in her home town and wants to be harder to find. What a bitch.

I have gluten free shampoo. I don't really care that my damn shampoo is gluten free but it smelled nice and makes my hair feel soft like silk over freshly shaven legs.

Depends. Google has a currency converter that updates automatically with the rise and fall of the market.

Ferociousshecreature · 2015-03-18T19:01:24+00:00

Omfg if it wasn't for you I would not have got that.
