Ah, my girl Olivia. I'm so happy you're back.
In other news, if you ever want to know why chefs tend to be somewhat rotund, go work in a kitchen during a dinner rush. You need the extra energy stored in fat. I feel like I'm dying right now. There was a two minute period that our ticket printer did not stop going. We went through many pounds of ground beef in the past three hours. Alright, two more hours to go.

I'd rather not get aroused right now. Panties are too small to contain arousal, it would feel uncomfortable. Sure they are tight and dig in, but I had enough sexual activities this morning and don't want anymore.

@Femme_Fatale morning?
I know that most people are 6 ish hours ahead of me, but you're in Canada. you shouldn't be too far away in time zones right?
and even at 6 hours that would put you at 3 am or earlier. That's dammed early. or late. half full. empty. whatever.
I have no reasonable way to end this that would make sense.

I meant as in the morning of that day, not that it was morning at the time of me writing that post.

Just finished putting all my cards into sleeves and then into a new binder.

VampireArmy TBH, I didn't even know about this until today when I saw it pop up on imgur. I didn't watch the vid, I don't know if it's humiliating or normal. However, I feel like half the reason these celeb's make sex tapes is so that they get leaked. Sure, some might not, but there are just so. MANY. Celebrity sex tapes out there, that you have to KNOW it's going to get out when you film it.
Ten years ago this is something i'd be sympathetic about. But it's 2016. Nobody's making sex tapes just because.

kyuuri117 sure but when your direct response to someone demanding you remove it is "lol no" you deserve to be sued into the ground. Mind you this same shit tabloid site was the one with article after article about how leaking female nudes is sexist

As I've mentioned before, I work as a freelance/ghost writer. I do lots of academic and medical stuff. My latest client was a nightmare.
This student was tasked with conducting an experimental study and writing a 20-page report on it. The deadline was in less than 24 hours and she expected that she would get an A on it after some minor editing. The whole thing is essentially her midterm.
The moment I open the document, I cringe. It's bad. Reeaaal bad. One of her hypotheses was that there would be a difference between her experimental and control group. Just a difference.
Her methods section makes no effort to detail how she went about gathering or analyzing her data. There are so many things I could name that were problematic with the paper...
What am I supposed to do with that? I could help you if you were writing some book report on Henry V, but I cant address the fundamental errors youve made in your study design. These are things that any student taking higher-level psychology courses should be capable of doing.
You want me to help you cheat through a course you rightfully dont deserve to pass? Fine, but give me the opportunity to guide you along the way. This whole project would have been simple if I had received it two months ago. I could have spent 10 minutes giving her feedback on her plans. Hell, Im 99% sure her professor would have been more than glad to look over her project during office hours.
I just know she's going to be shocked she's getting a D for the project and leave me terrible feedback. Then I'll have to dispute it and the whole thing's gonna be a miserable waste of time.

Maybe don't do it? Just turn her down. Better to turn her down and not get a reputation for poor work imo.

I personally can't wait to sell most of this stuff this weekend.
Hope this sweet stuff is a nice break from all the bad shit going about here.

@kyuuri117 - I don't actually see the client's project outside of a brief description before it's given to me once I win the bid over it. In this case, the project was described as proofreading, checking for content, and reducing the length of the paper by 500 words. What I got was not reflective of the description.
Even if I were to receive bad feedback, it wouldn't stick. I have a great reputation on the site I use. It's like 98% positive or something. I've never lost a dispute with a client mostly because I actually know what I'm doing and aim to deliver quality content.
I'm mainly venting. It's a frustrating experience, that's all.

I get to go do surgery today. In the sense that I am the patient. I am clearly not a surgeon. At least I get to go get high on some anesthetics.

With that grammar are you sure you're not on the laughing gas already?
March 21, 2016 10:56 a.m.
No, I just wasn't allowed to have my usual heart-attack inducing amount of coffee this morning. That and I hate my phones keyboard so I don't care about mistakes on it.
March 21, 2016 10:59 a.m.
That was fun. I basically just got a super foggy head, felt all floaty, got a massive case of deja vu for some reason and then woke up and was fine.
March 21, 2016 1:56 p.m.
Oh yeah, I also have a bunch of opiates now. Oxycodone to be specific. And yes, they were prescribed.

And now my toes have smiley faces on them. Just learned that from my mee-ma

It's so weird man. Biological brother has a photo of the day i was born up on Facebook and reading the comments from my own family is so awkward. Like my younger sister was like "who's the baby" and my cousin replies "oh that's john-john" but like that's not even my name anymore. It hasn't been since i was 8. So like, i feel like they're talking about a person that no longer exists or that the person they're talking about is a stranger even though it's literally me. Being adopted can be weird like that haha. I always go full on awkward seal when someone from my biological family tries to talk to me. They all remember me but 90% of the time i have no idea who they are

I feel like that about my recent near death experience.
I can't remember anything for the 3 or so months before it and when told what I was missing from memory it's like I'm looking back in other people's memories and seeing a different person.

It's not panic inducing to me anymore. It was when i was a kid but I've had years to get over that. Now it's kind of embarresing but that's about it

Whoops, my life just got accidentally consumed by Pokken Tournament.
Accidentally.
Totally.
If anyone plays this game message me because I want to play this game more.

holy shit how is triskaidekaphobia not an un-set card?

Just a heads up though, there's a rather large bug concerning the feature, so I wouldn't use it for the moment.

Pro_Noob because it's themed to Innistrad. The un-set rules state that the card under no circumstances could be printed in black border to be printed in an un-set.
