Pointless Announcements
I'll be your girl jetpack, as boyfriend and I say.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
OH man jetpacks are the best.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
That sounds nice.
My birthday is in a couple hours. It's really a mixed bag. On the surface I'm calm. Deeper down, I'm anxious. Deeper down than that I'm calm again. I'm 25. Why does time pass so fast?
Jetpack? So, you... hold onto his shoulders from behind, and... what, fart?
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
Or am I, as usual, being too literal?

You're not that bad.
Friend and I decided someone should cross breed corgis and pit bulls. And make a new breed called... Corgulls.
Pronounced... Cordials.
Can you imagine the politeness of these bitches?
We, the Cult, must make this happen.

How do we go about this?
no, you just hold on and then go 'whooooosh' in his ear really cutely. or you fall asleep. no gas needed.

Like we're pandas at the zoo. That's the way you're treating us.
DO IT ALREADY!!!
Okay, I edited that because it was sort of too much. Better more ambiguous.
Dude it's 40F outside this morning. Tomorrow I have my opening ceremony at college and I wanted to wear a dress so badly 
And the earrings from Sarah.
I'm assuming it was a diagram.

I can't afford to stay in my apartment for the year. It's just not feasible if I want to have money after this year. So, I've gotta start searching for somewhere to stay. I've sent my landlords an email just now, and I'm hoping they don't flip their shit. I mean, I am giving them 3 months notice, so it should be okay. It's just that I don't need to be dealing with this right now in the middle of doing my Master's degree. 
If they flip their shit, they're twats. Giving them 3 months notice is more than enough. Hopefully you'll find a new place soon!
PA - I hate having to tell applicants from specific countries that we don't accept their educational documents unless they're sent directly from the university they attended in their home country.
3 months is what I'm required to give them according to the contract. I'd like to move sooner to save money, but this at least will give everyone time to find a new situation.
But thanks, I hope I find a place soon too! 
Ugh, we were tasked to write something backwards like Time's Arrow and I've fucked myself over by WAY OVERCOMPLICATING my piece but now I've dedicated so much time to it that I can't just ditch it. Plus has to be in tomorrow so starting something new would be shit.
Still, I'd rather I've tried super hard and failed than done something piss easy.
Right? Like we don't know what we're doing. Diagrams help, though.

As per requested.
Some crap naturist company made a video for one of their products. It's called Neuro Optimizer and supposedly it helps children with autism "become the son you've always wanted". The video shows a woman and her facial expressions while a female voice speaks in the background, saying she hates her boy, she hates that he's not normal, that she shouldn't be lying to herself, her boy isn't special, and that she can't take it anymore, that she should love him, because it's part of her, because it's her son, but who will love her?
The Internet is all ablaze over this, the video has been shared tens of thousands of times on Facebook, it was all over the news and everybody hates the company now. No one's heard of it before anyway, but still. Oh and they promote the pills with the following:
"Hate your boy who has become unbearable. Hate your boy who never wants to sit still and who doesn't listen to you. Hate your boy who gets angry for no reason and treates everyone else badly.
Hate the part of him that makes him do it. It's not his fault. It's just his illness, affecting his behaviour. Underneath this mask there's a boy who wants to show you all his love, but he simply can't. You can help him, with a lot of care, patience and understanding.
Hurry up, every day is important. Help you boy become the son you've always wanted, with Neuro Optimizer."
They have another video, Hate your Dad who has Alzheimer.
I totally want to take Neuroptimizer now.

That's pretty horrible.
Promotion of lobotomy's come to mind.

I'm pretty sure pandas get diagrams and porn and an adoring public telling them what a cute couple they make and look how enthusiastic they are about banging each other.
I think really what this is, is the biggest cockblock ever.
THANKS A LOT GUYS. We would've been so happy together.
If I'm reading this right, we're currently at the height of hope... this is not encouraging in any way shape or form.
If this is true though, I'll settle for Vanilla Ice.

I was expecting diagrams used in zoos to show Pandas how to achieve coitus. You also missed this super scientific chart:
You know how I feel about that right corner, though, so maybe you were just trying to not be discouraging.
Also, that Vanilla Ice one is from xkcd. Once again, the only site that'll ever understand me.
I think really what this is, is the biggest cockblock ever.
That was my first thought. The whole idea just seems so played out now. I'd probably just phone it in.

what does it mean when your farts smell like hard boiled eggs?

Oh? I did throw in that one with all the pictograms...
Not positive about the language but I'm guessing you might need a panda to help translate.
hey you. hope you're ok, just visited facebook after a while and saw your post about little xander.
We're doing good, in fact, should be able to go home by the end of this week or next week. The most stressful thing is dealing with the ex.

I don't even know the ex, but when you talk about him I want to whoop his ass.
Gonna be nerding it up in November. Zelda's Symphony of the Goddesses is gonna be in San Antonio.

This exactly.
I was thinking about you the other day and the thought of him and everything you've told us he pulled came to mind and I worried about how having to deal with him throughout all this was affecting you.
Hey tuffy, I have a question for you.
Do you possibly have any suggestions as to what good beginning dance lessons would be for Lily? What style or what I should look for in a class? She is seven. It would be for fun, at least unless she becomes passionate.
She really wants to take dance classes, has been bugging me since summer about it, and is pretty good with the different dance games we have. But I do not know a thing about dance, and since I know someone who does, well I figured I'd ask before just singing her up blindly to what ever I can find.
Searching for apartments. I'm having a bit of luck finding cheap stuff. I guess what upsets me is that it was so hard to find cheap places before I moved here. But I probably wouldn't have been able to get it then since I didn't have student ID. Whatever, it's all good.
I'm just awoke. I'll answer danceclass questions after coffees. K

Yeah. Thanks. Any useful advice would be appreciated. I found a musical theater song/dance class for her age group that is very convenient time and location wise. And also jazz and beginning ballet. I haven't contacted the instructor yet and don't know what to ask when I do.
Pa: 8:30 am is obscenely early for parent teacher conferences. Uhg. Made it through anyway.
We had the opening ceremony for my MA programme tonight. Apparently the dissertation will be something completely different from what I had in mind, but every one of them gets published (so basically we have to edit and translate a book of short stories or essays or poems). We start classes tomorrow, and the mystery as to what the "Media editing" course meant is now solved - that's our subtitling course, and we're the only university in Romania that provides that.
I had a fantastic meeting a little while ago in which I successfully shifted a work related responsibility over to another department where it's much more appropriate. I'm so glad that happened. Now I'm going to water the garden and make some lunch.
To sick to drive home. To sick to be at work.

When it's just he and I, we do okay, so long as he isn't pulling his self-pity bullshit. But he usually brings the pregnant wife with him and I feel tense as soon as she walks in. It's still too fresh. The nurses can see it too.
And we've had a few arguments already. The social worker that talks to all the families in this situation talked to both of us yesterday. She was pissing me off and I just wanted her to leave. I was not in the mood to talk. And today, when I asked the ex if we were going back to the regular schedule with the kids, he said he'd like it to be more equal. That man has balls, I'll say that much. He used to bitch about me only wanting the kids so much because of money and the first thing he wanted to talk to the social worker about wasn't how this was affecting him, but whether he could get financial compensation for the days he would be taking off.

*hugs*
I am glad that you two are able to at least communicate one on one, and it is completely understandable that you would be annoyed with the pregnant wife coming around (wife? am I reading correctly? last I remember he knocked up a girlfriend of two months... he just keeps making brilliant move after brilliant move doesn't he?) I suppose if she is his wife now you have to respect that he may need her for emotional support, but I don't understand why she would need to be in your presence right now at all unless absolutely necessary.
I mean you clearly have enough other stress to worry about without all that in your face too. Plus, I am sure you very likely need an outlet to be pissed at and him bringing her around might make it too easy for her to be the target of anger she doesn't completely deserve. (no offence, I just mean he is an idiot)
I read that you should be able to go home soon? I am glad for that.
I got a text from my mom this morning saying that I am now receiving Muscle Magazine and that if I did not order it I should check my credit cards to make sure that no one else is using it. I did not order it, but it's also not charged to any of my accounts, so I donno whats up.
