[Kennifer]

Dusty is roaming around and not noticing she has FOONDS

[Whistle]

reply if you're gay and don't go to bed on time

[Zanreo]

i'm aroace and what is a sleep schedule

[SmilyCube112]

A sleep schedule is an organised way of regaining your energy through voluntary self-inducement of unconsciousness.

Also, it's a good way to meet your sleep paralysis demon. I've yet to meet mine, though. :(

[Clancy]

I'm bisexual and I've had bags under my eyes for months. D:

[Kennifer]

I am lesbian but usually go to bed on time because I like sleeping :P

[Cibryll]

Also lesbian, but my sleep schedule is so fudged up even I don't know any more--

But usually I go to bed past midnight (after doing my chores).

[Superjohn 2.0]

Good morning everyone (or night if you're in a different timezone).

[Kennifer]

Today is a weird day since usually I have Mondays off, but the guy who works for me Mondays has some kind of a class thing or something today and will be working for me Wednesday instead.

so I am at work awaiting any custies who decide to come in.

[Ultimatum]

oh OH oh

[Superjohn 2.0]

I'm going to bed now goodnight everyone (or morning if you're in a different timezone).

[Kennifer]

finally days off

you hear that dusty? :3

[Cibryll]

Haven't had a good day.

Occupational therapist wasn't in today, so my appointment's been moved to 23 August. That's 10 weeks from now.
It was raining the entire fudging time that I was walking to the clinic (and back home). That's a total of 4 kilometers that I've had to walk. Completely soaked. Raincoat was ineffective. (I'd gladly walk that far if it was to get cat food, but I'm currently broke so.)
I also walked into a stop sign.

When I got home, Genna just gave me one look and went back to sleep. I think she's mad at me for having left home… :<

been reading early Fantastic Four comics, they are certainly interesting.

[Clancy]

been reading early Fantastic Four comics, they are certainly interesting.

They really are, aren't they? No costumes for the first couple of issues (until fan mail demanded them), Ben's dialogue is much more formal than his later Brooklyn-kid speech patterns, and the only two members who consistently get along are Reed and Sue — otherwise, they don't seem to like each other very much. Especially not Ben — heck, when they first meet Doctor Doom, they're all sent back in time to the Golden Age of Piracy, Ben disguises himself as Blackbeard and gains the acceptance of a crew of pirates, and immediately Ben turns the pirates against the other three, just so he can be around people who won't treat him like a freak. Fortunately, Ben comes to his senses, but holy hell.

It took quite a few issues until the Fantastic Four really earned their reputation as a family of sorts. I choose to believe that during the first few months after their transformation, they were all suffering from Fant4stic-style body horror, and it just took them a while to adjust. After a year or so out-of-universe, even Ben (who's in/famous for his periods of body dysmorphia and self-loathing) starts developing into his familiar "grouch with a big heart and a love of clobbering" characterization.

[Superjohn 2.0]

yeah, Ben almost turning heel on Reed and storm was a wth moment for me, though I could at least understand his motivation.

Issue 9 was funny for me because it first involves the Fantastic four going bankrupt because Reed apparently mad some bad decisions on the stock market(the idea of Reed doing that  made me raise a eyebrow), then the get a invitation to a movie studio for starring roles in a movie and a million bucks, only to learn the one who called them there is Namor!(whos more of a villain so far in these early fantastic four stories) which ends with reed fighting a cyclops, Johnny fighting a tribe immune to fire, and Namor apparently ran out of creativity juice and just takes Ben to a beach and beats him up.

its silly, but its a endearing type of silly.

If I remember correctly, Namor's anti-FF strategy was: send Reed to Cyclops Isle, send Johnny to the African Isle of the Fireproof Tribe, beat up Ben until he can't stand, and kidnap Sue. Again.

I can see why Lee and Kirby gave Sue the force-field power-up — not having an offensive power just puts her in the position of the Damsel in Distress every issue. Actually, the sort of wild-n'-wooly superhero action-adventure that Fantastic Four lives for is best suited for flashy, offensive powers. In contrast, the power of invisibility is best suited for more low-key, down-to-Earth stories, and for furtive, stealthy characters — i.e., anti-heroes and villains, like the Invisible Man and the Shadow. (Technically, his power is "clouding men's minds" instead of invisibility, but it works in just the same way. It's basically invisibility. Shut up, superpower purists!)

i have mastered "semi whistling"

[Whistle]

semi

[Superjohn 2.0]

Semi pro.


Good morning everyone (or night if you're in a different timezone).

[MadameButterflyKnife]

i've been on my last kick for a minute
runnin' out of goals, steppin' over toes
sittin' on the bench, i've been in it
losin' like a chore, comin' up alone, yeah
everybody thinks they're semi-pro
then it all comes down like a waterfall rainin' on you
got clean, i guess i'd rather never know
it's played out, now i'm hangin' from the rafters
sweatin' hard, all alone
to take a lap, the sweetest one
head start on quittin
save your breath, undressed and i'm never come back for once
saw that name on my jersey
always played for both teams
had big dreams, then i felt bad
killin' you was a pleasure, man
hope you understand that the measure wasn't all so tough
kickin' rocks in the promised land
pease out and i'm never comin back now
it feels like it should
i'll just let you do the talkin'
if you wanna stay back, you should
i can't promise you i'm anythin'
but it feels so damn good
you just love the way i want ya
but i'm cool with it, so knock on wood
i've been bad, but i'm only gettin better

[Florien]

Anselm government like a god
Kraken cabinet names like Todd
West Philadelphia only razed
East Philadelphia all enslaved
North Philadelphia doesn't exist
South Philadelphia ashen mist
Karl Sagan making Marx
Bees on trees in city parks
Laser cats with laser mice
Dogs and beans and curried rice
Radioactive elements
Overreactive presidents
Lyricposting every day
Lyrics make no sense in context
 anyway



What I'm saying is I've never understood song lyrics and am going to outlaw music like the footloose town except irresponsible Kevin baby back bacon can't save you now
