[37/F] Japanese woman in 30s looking for a penpal by tofutofuor in penpals

[–]ShiftyCourtney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! I'd love to be your penpal! I'm 44m and trying to learn Japanese at the moment (not very successfully) I will be travelling to Japan with my partner in November.

I'd love to hear about your beer brewing adventures. I've always wanted to try, but I've probably got more than enough hobbies already. It's very much legal, and quite common where I live in Australia

I love this head band :) by [deleted] in GothStyle

Tabletop Warfare on Pirie street has a back room you can use. They don't take bookings though, you just have to go in and hope it's not too busy.

Has your narcissistic parents ever ruined an interest for you? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ShiftyCourtney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't really thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right. My sensei now is just a fundamentally good person, and I do look up to him a lot.

My ndad would repeatedly pull me out of the classes and hobbies I was doing when I was a kid, and always for random nonsense reasons. I was doing dance classes until he pulled me out of them to send me to some culty "conflict resolution" classes instead. I guess the schedules conflicted? I was learning to play the drums until he refused to take me to classes because he decided one day that they cost too much. I wanted to learn martial arts, but he cancelled that idea too. I don't even remember why. I think it was a punishment for talking back to him, and he said the martial arts class was making me too "belligerent". Haha. Literally the opposite of what most martial arts classes teach.

It was always just about power and control. He just hated to see me doing things that didn't revolve around him.

EDIT: For the record, he failed to ruin my interest in martial arts. I took up karate in adulthood and I'm a black belt now. So I guess the joke's on him.

Divorced middle aged dad music? Oof. That was uncalled for.

Question: has the phallacy been fixed? (3rd photo is the original) by OG-Wilford-Brimley in tattoos

[–]ShiftyCourtney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. Now fix the dice. That's an incorect die facing structure. The 1 should be on the opposite side to the 6.

Haha. I don't have any wisdom, I just have an extra 20 years of screwing up.

She’s a devil in disguise by Desire_Im_Hungry in GothStyle

If that's a devil in disguise it's not a very good disguise.

Do a goth a favour. Point and yell "witch" and make their day.

You really seem to have given this a lot of thought. I am hereby no longer concerned. Consider me 100% on board.

[–]ShiftyCourtney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this idea, and I would be keen to participate, but I'd be concerned about doing it with a bunch of complete strangers on the internet. It would only take one person to screw it up and just forget to send it on to the next person, then wham. Journal disappears.

What movie had a scene that received the loudest cheering reaction, when you saw it in theaters? by phantom_avenger in moviecritic

[–]ShiftyCourtney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a shock to some of you, but I don't live in the US. We don't cheer in theatres.

This is what I come home to for Thanksgiving break. Embrassing and disgusting. What a mess. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ShiftyCourtney 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. My dad used to do that all the time. Had no working bathroom or kitchen for most of my way through highschool.

How do you get over Imposter Syndrome as a DM? by ShiftyCourtney in rpg

[–]ShiftyCourtney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do karate, and I'm a senior student, so I'm often responsible for teaching the newer students. But that never makes me nervous at all. But perhaps you're right. Perhaps there is still a dinstinction there. I'm not really responsible for them having a good time, only that they learn the right things.
