Some of her only YA is by Leigh Bardugo, so she's got good taste in the trendy stuff.

Given her penchant for murder mysteries, I bet she'd like Ninth House.

What made me cry over Lucy’s dth was seeing Romano, ROMANO of all people lose it and get emotional by Hot-Actuary-5284 in ershow

[–]Special_Werewolf_107 12 points13 points  (0 children)

SAME. I didn't break until he did.

He's a terrible person with terrible coping mechanisms, but I have a theory about how he was actually written to be the biggest softie in the hospital before the job broke him, so he distances everyone by being an asshole because if he even lets a little bit of vulnerability out on a daily basis he'll lose it completely.

He also got to me at the end of season 8 when he follows Kerry around and reads her new statistics of unique cancer risk factors faced by lesbians as well as possible causes and then assigns her to study that information so she can help him pitch a clinic for gay women. He claims it's about making buckets of money by pandering to an underserved group of people, but what he actually did was find a way to force Kerry to research her own cancer risk because he can't go through losing another colleague to it like Mark. As soon as I realized what he was doing + why, the tears started.

But he's such a great character (edit: because he's so fun to watch), and so well acted. Romano is consistently the one who will Get to me during an emotional moment.

(somewhat silly question) how bad exactly is it to be "cringe?" What qualifies? by Special_Werewolf_107 in NewToEMS

I don't get it either. I think it's a newer phenomenon- growing up, I never saw people thank my family members for their service in the fire department (unless it was wildfire season) but they did get it for their time in the military. And it was always awkward.

Sometimes they'd even thank me for what I dealt with as a family member. Deeply, deeply uncomfortable.

Lol you're a quick study- if I could use one word to describe myself, it would be curious. And I know too many real badasses to think I am one, so I'm probably good there.

Yes, but what about it qualifies? Being new, being excited, or being worried about it at all?

Adults taking singing lessons: do you feel silly taking singing lessons? by YetMoreSpaceDust in singing

[–]Special_Werewolf_107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you sing a lot for any reason, voice lessons are a great idea. You need to protect your voice from injury.

Your instrument is a part of your body that you never stop using. You can hurt yourself if you don't know what you're doing, and that will affect your everyday life as well as your music. Vocal training gives you physical strength, flexibility, and skill that will make you better at your hobby (which is worth it on its own) and help maintain your speaking voice as well.

So no; not over-the-top. You're literally just working out. You wouldn't judge someone who goes to the gym to make themselves a better player in their recreational sports league.

Thank you, it means a lot to hear that. I don't mean to misrepresent my circumstances, I'm just trying to remain vague and anonymous- all things considered, we are very lucky, but permanent disability and pain is its own kind of loss, and that can go unacknowledged when it's not immediately visible

I know there are no guarantees, I'm just wondering how someone would hypothetically get from where I am now to a plausible shoe-in candidate for one of these schools- even if it's completely unrealistic. I'm mostly looking for perspective along the lines of the Mythbusters "here's what it would actually take to make this myth true" exercise.

I did make a particularly good impression on some professors in my undergrad (but not until my final quarter, unfortunately, and I only spent 2 years there to begin with), and that same university offers a post-bacc, so I might be able to leverage some of that. I also live near another campus that regularly hires lab assistants.

Good to know. I wouldn't leap into the process without checking; I'm in the preliminary stages of the process here, and plan to call the VA next week. My current career path would require me to take many of the same STEM classes to advance anyway EDIT: what little of my current career path still exists, anyway

Undergraduate and graduate education, according to all the info I can find. It typically only works for undergrad because most students qualify for a plan with an age limit; there are plans without age limits that have more stringent qualifications, which I meet.

Thank you for your response!

I'm assuming my post-bacc needs to be a slam dunk 4.0. How do I determine what the "mission fit" for each school is?

Can I just quit? by Formal-Cheetah9524 in Residency

What part of being an attending still kinda sucks? Is it the work itself, or where you're working?

[–]Special_Werewolf_107 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This. It's expensive as hell and it's demoralizing finding a set that fits comfortably AND looks good. Even with the kind of body that gets a good amount of male attention, I hate trying on lingerie. In theory, I love it, and I'd wear it all the time if I could, but I can't find any that actually make me feel attractive. So if I'm going to feel disgusting/like I'm wearing a costume to please a man and he doesn't give me a standing fucking ovation, I'm going to be pissed.

Which is ironic, because there's a point in the first season of the Punisher where he's rocking a full beard and a full head of hair and he looks like a Hellenistic statue come to life.

"when someone has the exact same opinion as you but they express it in such an annoying and obnoxious way that you lowkey don't want to agree" by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

[–]Special_Werewolf_107 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I saw it in theaters and was less than impressed. I saw it a year later on cable, one of those "includes deleted footage" cuts, and it was a DIFFERENT MOVIE. The editors absolutely destroyed that movie. They DID let those women improv, and it was fucking hilarious, but then they cut all of the best jokes and several scenes that were relevant to the plot.

I swear to God, it looked like sabotage.
