okay my scientific experiment either proves this set of d6s is better OR "Wherever I May Roam" is fundamentally a better track to roll characters up to than "One"

like my second set of rolls?

okay that bottom one might be playable, I'm thinking magic user or thief or heck, play an elf and multiclass

bright is the moon high in starlight
chill is the air cold as steel tonight

shift to crinos
shift to crinos
shift into crinos form

* garbled noises *

* random howling *

it makes me sick to be so mean
from what I've been and what I've seen
from top to bottom, I am obscene!
it stands in my place!
it spits in my face!
it's shame, shame!
it's SHAME!,
at least I don't lie
at least I don't lie
look at myself and say
man, you're doing just fine
you're doing great
I'm not living in a lie,
I'm not living in a lie,
or am I?

CAN'T STAY AT HOME CAN'T STAY IN SCHOOL
OLD FOLKS SAY, YOU POOR LITTLE FOOL
DOWN THE STREET I'M THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
I'M THE FOX YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
HELLO DADDY
HELLO MOM
I'M YOUR CH CH CH CH CH CHERRY BOMB!

I blame Joan Jett and Jamie Hewlett for associating "Let's Do It" with cheap beer

AND THAT'S WHY BIRDS DO IT
BEES DO IT
EVEN HONEST SOCRATES DO IT
LET'S DO IT
LET'S FALL IN LOVE

Today was the sort of visit with my folks where I think “I don’t care if I don’t want to hurt them, might need to ask them for money at some point, and feel like they’re my only avenue to ever having a house, I need to cut contact NOW.”

apparently it's time for a small crying jag listening to Pink Floyd, it's almost like a big chunk of my day suddenly went very sideways earlier. I'm not even dragon otherkin and this one hurts.

oh yeah, Ride of the Valkyries. Which I don't associate with 1) Norse mythology, 2) Apocalypse Now, 3) the Fallschirmjaeger raid on Eben Emael, but actually 4) a Monty Python sketch in which Terry Jones, dressed as a housewife, sets off on this epic journey across London and winds up in Stonehenge.

The day just went from “kinda frustrating” to “I am going to need beer or a half edible later.” Tempted to blather about my folks in general but, being roped into meals here is bad, and for whatever reason WAITING on meals here is incredibly triggery.

Two #drawings from yesterday and one from today!

so I was able to reschedule my first interview from this morning, and completed that a while ago. So two interviews today, and I am now so fucking done.

Sometimes my ceiling/upstairs neighbors' floor squeaks frantically in ways which WOULD imply frantic sex - except if that's what it is, they hump in complete silence otherwise, and doesn't explain how frequently there are loud THUMPs afterwards, like they've moved on to practicing aikido. I *think* this might be a workout which mixes some sort of exercise machine and free weights but I'm not sure.

Okay so the giant CD player at the Quizno's where I worked in the 90s could be set to randomize tracks from as many as 20 discs. Employees were invited to bring their own CDs, especially if work-safe enough to share during work hours, and naturally I brought "Apollo 18." Wholesome!

"Fingertips" is actually broken up on the CD into each of its little fragments, which meant we'd get a tiny piece of Fingertips - eg "LEAVE me alone, leave me alone" - and then swap to a completely different track.

just everything came together in just the wrong way - job hunt, interviews that came through, an interview which ghosted me, stuff I need to do for my parents, other folks' terrible news - and I now have like NO energy and less motivation.
