aw rip, I just started today. Its an odd change but its hard to concentrate now with the fact I still have to contact the office while attending meetings online. i am glad i don't have to do online meetings... I don't miss school. I also am extremely grateful that when I went it was nice and ordinary, instead of the strangeness of going to school this year. It's truly the high school seniors of last year, and the ones starting their senior year this year, that I feel the worst for. This year's college freshmen too (which would be last year's seniors I guess), because they aren't getting the "typical" college experience while they are supposed to be carefree and a little wild as they are on their own for the first time. right? we were all so lucky o:

Okay well I'm definitely not sleeping now by the gods tw: injury/gore I was browsing iFunny because I was bored and was having some trouble falling asleep and I came across a video from a riot or something and a dude had about half of his arm blasted off from gunfire or something, seriously it looked like a damn shark took a bite out of the side of his arm. Normally I'd be used to seeing this kind of stuff more or less but seeing it at 3 in the morning really messed me up. I didn't stick around the post long enough to find out what actually happened

you have such patience and dedication, i love it why did you choose to learn about this person? Roleplaying will get you everywhere. It started because I was already aware of John Dee - he's used in a lot of media as a evil sorcerer and stuff. So I was RPing a character called Myrnin (also a historical-ish figure) and I was just messing around with the thought that he's bi and within canon all of his SOs were fictionalized historical figures (Lady Jane Grey, Ada Lovelace). So I was just thinking "What sort of people - specifically other alchemists - might have shared his interests but are from an older time period or no longer alive." And I remembered John Dee (who I read about in Michael Scott's The Alchemist). So I just googled searched him. Issue was, there was too much content and clearly nothing to work that in (which never stopped the writer, but stopped me XD ). I sometimes stick around wiki pages a bit longer, just to read random things, and Arthur was listed as also being an alchemist and his son. Literally, his only defining characteristic on the wiki is that Rasputin stole his books once. That's apparently the most interesting thing they found about him. I was like "Hey! No content then I can work with this!" But issue is that lasted all of ... two seconds. Because doubt creeps in that you're being true to history ya ya ya. So I was like "There has to be something about him. Somewhere. He's known enough to get a wiki page but not enough to have more than a paragraph dedicated to him. There has to be something." Thus started my long digging process. Honestly, wiki finds the stolen books by another famous person more interesting than the fact he was accused of murdering his own son-in-law, said "ha ha" to the tsar of Russia and sold a house he didn't own, was a scryer of angels for his father at the age of eight, got out of a court case because his family were influential despite the fact he didn't have a license to practice medicine, was tutored in Latin by a spy, and may or may not have shaped Russia's politics as the arguably first alchemist there. Also he threw a brick into his own face first. But yeah wiki. Rasputin stole his stuff once. XD So now I'm researching this man's whole life story in an effort to make a semi-accurate historical fiction novel. Also found out why it's so hard to research him. Fire of London. It burnt 22 of the record buildings if I'm remembering and one of them must have contained anything about Arthur Dee, including accurate date of death.

Went to the store for a second week in a row and had less anxiety than last time!
Though my anxiety is acting up a bit now

I hope it goes back down again!
The only thing getting me through this particular Shakespeare play is reading it in funny voices.

Reminds me of the time I made my class laugh once in school because I started reading a character’s line in a goofy voice and then went “oh wait hold on-“

I've discovered Taiwan's version of ebay
It's stressing me out because they have this discontinued Warriors card book, and I'm trying to work with a new broker in Taiwan and they didn't reply to me at all Monday (it's now Tuesday over there) and I really want this book, and need to know if I need to try to go through another broker or not

My guess is if you hit the spider, it dropped to go die in a corner somewhere

Sounds rough on the dog. Hi, I'd like to ask why two of my very, very different bosses (they don't get along) have two seconds (who don't get along) who have roughly the same sort of attitude? Why does this feel like looking in a mirror? XD I like both my bosses, they're both awesome in they're own right. And I like both of their seconds too. But workplace drama is vastly interesting to me. I don't get this sort of stuff in my teaching job.
