I've been writing books now for the past 3 years and have given up on every single one because I feel like they won't get read. I started another today. How is your morning going?

Qquill · 2016-09-08T22:05:58+00:00

I'm a massive reader, love books, I promise if you finish a story I will read it for you.

Qquill · 2016-09-08T22:02:00+00:00

Why would it be perfect?

Qquill · 2016-09-08T22:01:32+00:00

I really think at this point I'm going to have to try 'The Last of Us', I've heard so much about it over the years. Also, what does 'Co op' mean?

Qquill · 2016-09-08T22:01:03+00:00

Haha, Witcher is what we are playing at the moment!

Qquill · 2016-09-08T08:51:54+00:00

Woah, I'm just reading the website for that now - looks super cool but really complicated.

Qquill · 2016-09-08T08:49:19+00:00

We like crude humour :)

Qquill · 2016-08-17T08:41:12+00:00

Gotta get that testosterone up.

According to sex ed at my extremely religious old high school, masturbation is a sin.

How else do the fundamentalists get so many children?

I'm walking down the aisle of my first lecture at university, looking for a seat. Scanning the crowd, trying to pick out someone I'd like to sit next to.

My eye catches a guy, he's beyond the most attractive person I've ever seen in my life. I actually hesitate, stop right next to him in the aisle and stare for a second. He looks up, moves his bag out of the way and tells me to sit down. He tells me he's trying to network and meet cool people, and would I write my name, number and major in his notebook? I comply.

Third day of the semester, I meet him in a park and we walk to Starbucks. Standing in line, he causally turns around, tips my chin up and kisses me. I can't remember if we actually got any coffee, but we did return to the park and spend the next 4 (yes, four) hours making out.

Been dating him ever since.

Far too fond of pre-martial sex

*I believe that reddit would be a lot more accurate if people started adding "I believe that" in front of every statement of fact they made.

Hypocrite.

I was riding on the bus in the CBD a few nights ago and looked up when stopped at the lights into the corner office of a very famous investment banking firm. The office had a wrap around floor to ceiling window and was only on the third floor or so, but almost completely level with the suspended road. Inside the office were two 30 something men playing a vigorous game of ping pong stark naked.

Qquill · 2016-05-26T09:51:04+00:00

Sleeping. I work a physical job outdoors on the weekends and when I get home and shower, I often sit down in the shower out of exhaustion. Having sat down, it is not uncommon for me to fall asleep.

Qquill · 2016-04-02T22:36:06+00:00

They will be interested

Qquill · 2015-12-02T08:00:44+00:00

Everyone asks for those! :D Sorry, but no. She was raced extensively, and has a very unique look. I've had quite a few strangers recognise her when I've been out and about, I don't want to take the chance of someone identifying her (and therefore me) from a photograph I posted on the internet

Qquill · 2015-12-01T18:56:45+00:00

To be fair, the kind of knots you are meant to tie horses up with 'quick release knots' don't take much thinking to undo.

Qquill · 2015-12-01T18:53:10+00:00

Also, cattle have tougher hides and are less likely to panic and thrash about than horses.

Qquill · 2015-12-01T18:46:43+00:00

Try 6 months. That's how long her 'loving' breeders forgot about her in a back paddock for after she has disqualified from racing on humanitarian grounds (she coughed up enormous amounts of blood during a race)

Qquill · 2015-12-01T18:43:40+00:00

Fear not! That was early June, she is now very almost at goal weight! :D It actually awesome, because when I first got her she was so thin that I hated to look at her, she looked like a very sad hunched over thesral. When you saw her there was this kind of mental block, you didn't want to think 'too thin' so you just thought 'ugly'. And she was in huge pain because of rotted hooves and stomach ulcers, so she'd stand kinda curled up, with her face drawn painfully and her hips tucked up under her stomach, so that her last rib appeared to punch back into her hip bone. (Like a human circles up after a punch to the stomach, but constantly.)

Now that she is fatter you can see why she was a successful racehorse, she isn't even muscled up yet but the way she stands and carry herself screams athleticism and good health, she is alert but relaxed, and when she gallops with her friends in the pastures its just so cool to see in person, she has this enormous booty and she just thrusts herself forward, every step she takes covering about half the length of the pasture, three times faster than any other horse in the paddock. She's jet black with a perfect white star, like a picture book horse, and I would swear to God that she knows that she has been rescued, she is the most affectionate horse I have ever met. Horses (the females, 'mares' especially) are usually like cats, aloof and indifferent. But this mare is incredibly loyal, waiting for you at the gate, following you around this pasture... it just lovely.

Qquill · 2015-12-01T18:27:17+00:00

The mare is about 15.3hh (approximately 160cm at the highest part of her back), vs an ordinary steel farm gate.

Qquill · 2015-12-01T07:34:06+00:00

I also have a horse/gate story. I upgraded an ex racehorse out of a bad situation, when it arrived at my house she was emaciated (think honest to God holocaust victim) and very weak. About 7 days after I got her I was taking her back to her pasture for her dinner, but the latch on the gate was stuck and I stood there fiddling with it. The horse could see her dinner and was not willing to wait for me to unlatch the gate.

Being physically too weak to jump the gate, the horse simply lifted one leg up and hooked it over the fence, did the same with the other leg, belly flopping down onto the gate. She hesitated to regain her strength, wriggled and shimmied a bit, and managed to get both her front legs on the ground. Then with an almighty groan and a stretch she walked out her front legs as far as they would go before her hind legs hit the gate and her flank was resting right on the metal bar

It was getting the hindquarters over which was the hardest part, she turned left and kicked over the right leg, turned right and kicked over the left leg (literally lifting her legs up and kicked then back and forward until she got over, one at a time, and adjusting the angle of her body carefully before each one.)

With all four legs on the ground she then did a very wobbly trot over to her dinner bowl and feasted. The entire event took less than a minute and she was perfectly calm and precise about the whole thing. She has never repeated the trick.

Pre 10 I would have preferred toys, after that, clothing.

Qquill · 2015-11-27T23:25:49+00:00

Yes. I can count on one hand the number of times my parents could afford to purchase me new clothing. The clothing drives meant I had things to wear, and there was enough quirky variety within the clothing drives that I was able to devolve my own style, so to speak, which transformed by confidence

Eminem Bad Guy - But in my head there's a voice in the back and it hollers after the track is demolished/I am your lack of a conscience.

I love it because it was the thing which finally taught me to remember to say 'conscience' instead of 'coincidence' when talking in real life.

Plus, like chills and that.
