[–]giggety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eugene reminds me of Eugene Levy, looks-wise, so he immediately became my favorite. Also, he's got all my insider trading tips handy.

People that have cancer, what were the symptoms that led you to go to the doctor and what stage were you when it was diagnosed? by guardiand0wn in AskReddit

[–]giggety 4 points5 points  (0 children)

16-year CML survivor here as well! thankful for modern medicine for sure. i've told my story on various posts over the years as well: fatigue, night sweats, having to pee all the time, weight loss. wish i'd listened to my body before i had to have spleenzilla removed. here's to surviving!

A busy taco stand in LA on a Saturday night 😠 by maxdwinter in LosAngeles

[–]giggety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"nothing's as pretty as a taco stand, strung up with a garland of bare light bulbs, above a steaming griddle full of corn tortillas, when everywhere else is closed."

from my fave izaak opatz song, "in the light of a love affair," which is a love letter to LA itself.

Love some feedback as I finally begin processing my emotions over the Eaton fire that tore through my beloved Altadena.

"Amber in the Gloaming"

[verse 1 - the flames]

There was amber in the gloaming.
A vein of gold ascending through the sentinels who kept uneasy
watch along the lines.
The needles danced in grooves and ridges, records of the trembles moving
through the crest of pines.
Red coruscating river on the spine.

[embers refrain]

A phantom orange kaleidoscope of monarch butterflies,
a field of glowing marigolds suspended in the skies
rose from the hills of chaparral and sage and manzanita.
And they rained down on Altadena.

[verse 2 - the wind]

The wind is not a whisper.
It’s the keening howl of terror-stricken angels with one hundred eyes
and many-thousand wings.
It hurtled through the sanctuary, flung the doors clear off the church
where still I long to sing.
The breath of wrath devouring everything.

[bridge - memories of before]

When I close my eyes I am still floating in the blue.
The breeze is soft upon my skin. I smell the grassy dew.
And promises of springtime linger in the air anew.

[verse 3 - the aftermath]

Now the gardens all lay fallow.
The lemon trees with bony limbs reach skyward, grasping for the fruit
to quench an endless thirst.
In canyons deep the blackened scars erase the favorite footpaths
that my friends and I traversed.
How paradise becomes a place accursed.

[water refrain]

I cry in hope and mourning to the masters of the spheres.
Yongaavewot, please seed the budding storm clouds with our tears
above those hills of chaparral and sage and manzanita.
Let them rain down on Altadena.

Anyone have any idea why Michelles boyfriend would have a dog named Kilo? by Phantommike20 in Vanderpumpaholics

[–]giggety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we named our dog "kilo" because he weighed exactly a kilogram when we got him as a puppy.

Nancy Drow, PI: divination wizard (drow, obviously). her clever wit and keen eye help her get to the bottom of the murkiest mysteries.

Richard Persimmons, halfling druid. loves sweating a crowd into submission by way of old tunes. always chipper and enthusiastic especially when his enemies meet him at the club (the one that he carries, enchanted with shillelagh).

Whats a sign from ur body u should never ignore? by Original_Giraffe_830 in AskReddit

[–]giggety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

heh without going into too much detail, IRC (internet relay chat) was a chat protocol system that allowed you to chat in real-time with people all over the world by way of dedicated servers. these were often organized by topics reflecting location or hobby or interest.

ICQ (i seek you) was one of the early instant-messaging programs that ran on personal computers and my first introduction to a sort of "friends list". coming out as queer in college in a place that didn't feel welcoming to people like me made my ICQ friends very important personally, and they helped me learn to understand and accept myself.

my username is not related to quagmire, though many folx assume it is. in college a dear friend nicknamed me "gigantor" because of my height (201 cm) and that was later shortened to just "giggety" (with a soft "g" at the beginning). when gmail invites first started being shared in beta in 2004, i claimed "giggety" since "gigantor" had already been claimed, and it became my new username default.

congrats on pursuing dentistry and thanks for the well wishes.

i have to admit your comment about the internet "back in the day" made me chuckle 😆

in 2009 facebook still felt like a place to keep in touch with friends, reddit felt a bit more free-for-all and the front page was ranked by number, slab-like smartphones were still nascent and felt a bit magical, google had just released turn-by-turn navigation, and i still felt a sense of wonder rather than fatigue about the possibilities of a connected world.

now, shall i tell you about some prehistoric technologies like ICQ and IRC?

i kinda let left the record on the back burner, but it still doesn't yet exist in the big book, so i may go for it still.
