Odd confessions.

You realise that gross is used in such a manner in professional contexts too, right? 'A gross error', for example, one I use regularly.

It may be preferred that other words be used, whether to mean disgusting or immediately obvious, but it does happen.

"Gross" in that context is more along the lines of "serious" or "flagrant", not "disgusting".

Except that it is also used for 'disgusting', because such an error likely does draw disgust for what it means and what it does to the organization.

Depends on how you interpret the sentence, I guess.

I think I look better with elf ears.

I prefer "gross" as in "earning money."

That's the best kind of gross.

That would be 'gross' as in 'before deductions', then? I like 'net' better in that context. It tells me how much I've actually got.

Basically, 'gross' always means 'big', but usually with the added meaning of 'unaltered' or 'unrefined'. A 'gross error' is a big one. 'Gross' behaviour is crude and unsophisticated, that of an uneducated person, which is probably where kids picked it up from and started applying it to things like snot and puke...

a gross error is one that affects the capital not yet addressed with any associated/required taxes.

Net errors, however, are unforgiveable.

a gross understatement is the best since that means they need to give you more money. The net understatement is lawsuit territory, which makes it even better for the receiver of the understatement.

I'm not good at talking to people IRL, so I care nothing of the day they were born.

That, of course, is purely in financial terms. A 'gross error of judgement' or a gross error in, say, navigational chartwork are simply large errors.

I cannot stand people who hate cats.

Guess what...

Shunned.

This is going to be a long one for me, but here goes *cracks knuckles*

For the longest time, I had difficulty pronouncing Aspergers Syndrome right.

Because of my arachnophobia, I rarely ever play Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess anymore.

I must be the only girl in the world who doesn't care for My Little Pony. Any incarnation.

I cry at end of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door.

I've had crushes on fictional characters.

I don't like raspberries, but I like the smell of Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship shampoo and conditioner.

I prefer cats to dogs.

I'm 21 years old and still don't have a Driver's License.

It bothers me when people give funky spellings to normal names.

I have never dated before. I'm not asexual or aromantic, I just have trouble talking to men.

Whenever a celebrity does something scandalous, it doesn't faze me at all. I just go "Meh, whatever." and move on.

I'm a bit of a Grammar Nazi.

I'm getting sick of the superhero movies. There are just too many of them coming out each year.

Then again, eh, audiences love them, and they make a lot of money for the movie companies, so there is no reason why they should stop anytime soon.

The spiders in Twilight Princess are pretty epic. I'm glad I do not fear spiders. The game must be hard for anyone who does.

TP is my favorite Zelda game. (Confessing that in the fandom can get you toasted. No, my favorite is NOT Ocarina of Time! Le gasp! )

Today, I re-watched Catching Fire and got re-inspired to continue a series of stupid fanart.

I'd confess that I love spiders (which is an odd thing to confess) but I think everyone already knew that.

I don't mind the little spiders in the game. They're not that scary. The big ones on the other hand, I almost pissed my pants when I first saw one. Armogohma was a bitch for me to deal with, but when its shell came off, I almost died laughing because of how funny it looked.

Here's another odd confession: Despite being a Zelda fan since 2006, I have never played Ocarina of Time.

Also, my favorite Zelda game is Wind Waker.

My favorite Zelda game is Oracle of Ages/Seasons.

My mii is a puppet version of myself.

Before I actually saw him in the show proper, I always imagined the voice of Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls as sounding more pompous. Sort of like a Mean Brit. I was kinda disappointed when I heard his actual voice, though I admit that it does reinforce him being Trickster Archetype.

I so want to make an absurd play based on a love triangle, and have one androgynous character appear now and then who manages to arouse all three in the triangle, all while being the Only Sane Man.

Spoilered for possible Squick:

I have a serious and unfulfilled hidden desire to get naked in front of my friends. I haven't carried it out, though I have told a couple of internet friends about it and asked if they would mind seeing close-up photos of my privates. They declined and I respected that.

lol

I've probably said it before ages ago, but I used to be an arachnophobe.

I got over it.
