Happy belated, Scy!

I prefer to type my conversations anyway. I absolutely hate talking on the phone, and voice-chat, webcam seems like an extension of that.

Kino finish a story D: Besides my shitty fantasy crap from junior high, the only stories I have finished are fanfiction. I worked out the naming "rules" for Ivri's culture and, unfortunately, Rynelle violates them. Otherwise I'm pleased with the naming rules, because now I can more easily...

Ivri is pronounced ȇv-rȇ (ehv'rey, approximately) It's real-world origin is as an ancient way of writing "Israelite" in Hebrew. It's also, according to google, the first name of an Israeli pop idol who likes to be photographed shirtless. For my purposes, Ivri is a young mage of noble birth...

Jubelon: Do you have Ghost Story, the new Dresden files book? Don't ask me how, but I have a copy just lying around... @Strange Fortune Not surprised, honestly, at your criticisms. I'll hold off on it for now -- maybe if I luck out and find a used copy I'll grab it, or if I get desperate. I'm sittin...

I'm terrified of what my google search history could reveal

Noodles has the right of it.

I first found it on reddit, and then figured out the source later.

Verizon withdrew $96.22 from my checking account. I did not authorize this. I have never authorized any company to withdraw money directly from my checking account. I do not subscribe to any auto-payment for any of my bills -- every single bill is sent to me in the mail, and I send back a check. I k...

One would think.

Ya know one advantage of being a picky eater and needing to request my burgers with only ketchup means that I always get a "hot off the grill" sandwich.

And obligatory "Braums makes the best fast food burger"
