25, 44, 56, 76, 87, 91

25) Do you prefer talking on the phone or video chatting online?

Well video chat is nice, but when there’s internet speed issues both the audio and video are crap. So it depends on the internet quality. If it’s bad, phone me.

44) What was the last movie you saw?

The Assassination of Jesse James

56) In a relationship?

Absolutely. And so happy.

76) In your opinion, what makes a great relationship?

Trust. If you can’t trust each other, you have nothing.

87) What is your current desktop picture?

this

91) You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what’s even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What is that power?

Invisibility. Hands down.

99) If the whole world were listening to you right now, what would you say?

All your pretenses about the inferiority of certain peoples and places are seriously flawed.

89) What would be a question you’d be afraid to tell the truth on?

Afraid to tell the truth? Oh there’s several. Won’t tell the truth? None.

82) What is your favorite word?

Hence

29) Do you believe in ghosts? How about aliens?

Ghosts, no. Aliens, kinda. I mean technically bacteria found in the moons of Jupiter would be aliens.

20) What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength?

Working with and trusting other people. And I’d have to say my patience.

2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be? 

Right now there’s only a few people I really desire to meet. But seeing who asked, I’m going to say Brandy.

Lots to say, no motivation to say it.
Maybe the New Year will bring with it some motivation? Hope so.
Either way, sad I’ll be ringing in the New Year by myself. Sure, with friends and all but no special someone by my side :(

I wish I could be there with you <3

I miss you so much.

I know it's been noted before

But whenever people follow me I wanna know if I want to follow them back. How do I determine this?

Not by whatever clever things they have to say in their description.

Not by their first page.

Not by their first 15 pages.

Not by their archives.

It’s by their likes. (Yes people can see your likes.) I find that what the person follows and what they like more often than other things gives a good impression of where their mind is and therefore what the views of their posts really will be. And in case you’re wondering I go through about 25 pages of their likes.

Might as well give some details

So this Christmas is full of firsts for me. I still like lists so that’s how they’re coming out lol

  1. First Christmas in a relationship, and I love it
  2. First Christmas when a secret santa actually went well (Amber, you kick ass. Seriously.)
  3. First Christmas I had to travel to be with family
  4. First Christmas I bought most of my gifts online
  5. First Christmas I fully appreciated sleeping in my own bed

And now onto the gifts portion not that anyone want to hear it but I wanna write it

  • Break barrel Nerf gun
  • Think Geek t-shirt
  • Blue sweater
  • Non-cotton socks (they’re mostly for work lol)
  • Flexible tripod
  • Framed Doctor Who/Dahlek quote
  • Plushy AT-AT
  • 70-300mm lense for my camera
  • Dune and Dune Messiah
  • Bobble-head stormtrooper
  • Wizard card game
  • and then some gift cards and such

Edit: Huh, now that I look at it it was a very nerdy Christmas this year. I am perfectly fine with that.

    Well Followers

    It’s been a great run up to this Christmas. Seeing how Newfoundland is 90min ahead of the rest of North America I can give you a sooner arriving “Merry Christmas” before most of the people you follow.

    To my followers in California, Oregon, Washington State, and British Columbia: sucks to be 5 hours behind in the times.

    Edit: This was posted 5min before midnight. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night :)

    Not Gonna Lie

    Being in a relationship during Christmas is pretty great. I mean besides the shallow yet great reasons like more gifts or extra family to be around.

    I finally got to look someone in the eye, hold them extra close, and wish them a heartfelt Merry Christmas.

    Finally Caught Up

    On my dashboard after 3 days of retarded sleep patterns and just a hint of jetlag.

    I’m so glad I don’t follow more than 100 people.

    Updates!

    • Home for Christmas! SO happy about that
    • First 2.5 days at home were a complete success. Lots of quality time spent with the special someone and other friends
    • I’ve received my secret santa, but I shall keep it unopened until Christmas. Yes, it’s driving me insane just looking at the box
    • Christmas shopping is all done as of yesterday evening
    • I’m excited to be with people I love at Christmas… Was that one too obvious?
    • That’s all for now :)

    was a great movie for kids, I mean all the sweet characters and the life changing circumstances….

    :P

    Anywho I’ve packed up and I’m now just waiting for the day to end. I’ll be cleaning up the dorm building as apparently the staff sometimes show the buildings to donors over the holidays. (Why the donors would leave their families during Christmas to view empty buildings in the middle of winter, I have no idea)

    I’m super excited to get home. It seems like tomorrow is Christmas for me and Sunday is just something kinda notable lol.

    Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd: Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to “run” or just search for “cmd.” Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],” like so:

    image

    Once you have the IP for a website, all you really need to do is enter it like you would a normal URL and hit enter/press go. Typing in “208.85.240.231” should bring you to the front page of AO3, for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard” should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard. Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario which would involve you not being able to access Tumblr regularly, you should, like, save this list, I guess.

    Wait, why haven't you read Lord of the Rings? Tis spectacular.

    I read The Hobbit and that’s all I could handle. Tolkien writes like he’s making a CGI model of his settings. TOO MANY DETAILS.

    I felt like I was being spoon fed an imagination, I couldn’t take it.

    Why did you change your url again?

    I ended up visiting my page on some other people’s laptops and I’m not so sure I want them reading all the thoughts I post here.
