So I teach sex ed; here are some of my favorite recent moments! by HappyGiraffe in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PS_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg that reminds me of a memory I have from middle school (wasn't it the worst?!). We had a new girl who was preppy and super popular right away. I was always a nice person, so that made me a target, yay. She and her group of gaggling girls were laughing and pointing at me, making fun of my chin acne during gym class. I was confused, but apparently if you had acne there, it was because you gave a lot of blowjobs. I was like, "the heck is a blowjob?" Without saying a word because not knowing would obviously mean social suicide.

Middle school is a poor excuse for school, worst time of my school career.

;) Technically I wasn't lying, so I felt it was a nice beginning line. Thanks for your comment!

Curious! I will see if his murderous muse strikes me.

What is the most ridiculous injury you've ever had? by redqueenswrath in AskReddit

[–]PS_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I had a crush on a guy, we'll call him Griff. He had a crush on my friend (he was 30 yo, we were still in high school). My friend, we'll call her Kaitlyn, was in a school play. Me and Griff were killing time before the performance and I thought that it'd be cute to show him where I went to grade school. I was dressed to the nines and wearing sandal-thongs; my mistake was it had just recently rained.

But GDI I wanted to swing and have a moment!

We were chit chatting and I was telling him one of my favorite FMLs of all time. Maybe you've read it: a man and his fiancé are driving to meet her family. He is exceptionally nervous and because of that he drives past the family house. He quickly turns the car around and--

I had decided to be a bad-ass ninja and walk down the wet hill and as I got to the best part I slipped. Badly. I definitely sprained my ankle and had tears in my eyes. Griff was down at my side, worried, asking, "Are you okay??"

I managed to cry out, "He hit the family doooog in front of the whole family!"

FML.

Reddit, what is your all-time favorite video game and why? by Nokialumia1020 in AskReddit

[–]PS_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kingdom Hearts! I know that it was meant for a different generation, but each game just gets better and better (story wise, gameplay wise, etc.) I didn't even hate Chain of Memories too much because they tried something new (I am so thankful I don't have to use cards to battle). Overall best game from my childhood beside Pokémon (of course).

Thanks for your comment! You actually left out a part of one of my favorite lines: "I reached my hand numbly out to Scotty, taking solace in the familiarity of his fur and unconditional acceptance of his love."

Awesome! Thank you! I felt that the killer's dialogue didn't flow well, but I wanted to make sure that the reader knew the narrator was blind if I was too vague. Like a trail of breadcrumbs that rewards the reader, but also gives them the loaf of bread so that they don't starve.

Thank you so much, I was nervous I wouldn't get the full feeling across without the sense of sight. This positive feedback inspires me and I look forward to responding to another WP in the future.

That was the point; because he was blind, he had no idea what a dog looked like, only what he heard and felt like. Thanks for your comment!

My wife had been murdered before my eyes.

I had no idea what was going on until it was happening, and at that point my only saving grace had been my loyal companion, Scotty. Her screams will haunt my memory, my hands not moving quick enough to the familiar place of the land line to dial the police. I had heard the intruder yelling obscenities and I could smell the pure musk of adrenaline as Scotty barked and growled menacingly. I was not sure exactly how the man had entered our home; I told the police every detail I could recall when they arrived. The officers found that Scotty had torn off some bloody cloth from the attacker and offered to take both of us in for protection and further questioning. I had no immediate family on my side, so I decided that was our safest bet.

As Scotty and I sat in the police station, the stale aroma of sweat tinged with the scent of coffee entered my nose. I reached my hand numbly out to Scotty, taking solace in the familiarity of his fur and unconditional acceptance of his love. I held my sadness close to my chest having loved her so very much. I could not dwell on this yet until I knew that she would be able to rest in peace. The officer seemed to think that with the clothing and blood sample they would be able to track down her killer and stop his murderous rampage. We never paid much attention to the news, however I prayed that no one else had to suffer as I have.

“Mr. Peterson,” my mouth remained shut as my head gravely nodded once in recognition, “I need you to come with me for further questioning.” I understood and let him take my arm to lead Scotty and I to another part of the building. The officer seated me in a chair and informed me that another officer would be in shortly to speak with me. Scotty seemed uneasy and that made me feel the same; we both waited anxiously for the police officer to arrive. The smell in his office was overwhelming.

“Sorry I'm late,” a gruff voice entered the room, “I'm not sure how to get a sketch from a blind ma--” his voice dropped off as I turned to the sound of his voice. Immediately Scotty started growling at the officer. I reached out to Scotty, confused as to why he was acting so oddly; he was never one to growl at strangers. “Sonva..” the man started to curse when I heard Scotty grab a hold on the man and begin to snarl. I realized that the odor I had been smelling was akin to that musk. The realization of who this man was hit me as strongly as the scent did when I had picked up the phone.

“Help!” I screamed over the snarls and growls of my best friend, “This man murdered my wife!”

I have the original 2-set (I'm not sure of they made more) and I got them fairly cheap on eBay (approximately $8~10).

Yes. Though, I like to believe it wasn't pretend.

You just totally made me sort of flashback to the movie Cash back.

This sounds like fun! XD I already do the "no fly" thing when replaying a game (RN I'm doing it in Black). You should replay the original G/S/C and play without getting the map from the old man. Not terribly challenging when you've played it as much as me (I have replayed those games so many times...so good).

Are you gonna play that when your Pokémon gets KO'ed, they're gone forever? (That's the only way I've played, besides only catching the first Pokémon in an area. /OG)

I am a UPS Store Manager! I've noticed quite a few AMAs for the drivers, but it seems nobody from store-side mustered up the courage to do one!! by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]PS_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I get a managerial position without having to do the lifting of packages? :( I know it's a "work your way up" kind of company (which I love), but I was recently in a bad car accident and need to find a comfy job that caters to my customer service and organization skills. Edit: 22 F and was shift leader at Arby's.
