Odd confessions.

What really annoys me about the gun rights lobby is the fact that they always use the term "law-abiding citizen".

In a church I went recently, I got a Spanish Bible that is directly based upon the NIV translation.

I'm actually considering learning the basics of Spanish from with that.

Not that weird. I bring spices with me all the time for spontaneous flavor (which got real awkward when I was trying to cross the US-Canada border let me tell you)

Sounds like a great idea!

Good lord dude, no need to get touchy and actually accuse him of being a criminal just because he's venting. Like, kinda going into personal attack territory there.

Can we not?

When NASA fired a missile at the Moon for research purposes, I thought they were actually going to blow up the moon.

I was a moron back then.

I get irrationally annoyed when new words pop up (usually online) and suddenly seem to be everywhere.

I have this weird thing where I read whatever I type out loud. Shit, I might be reading this post out loud.

I've never been to Boston in the fall. Does that count as a confession?

Boston's pretty nice in the fall, I'd recommend it. Fall foliage is New England's whole claim to tourist fame. Most places get swarmed with tourists in the summer, we (when I lived in New England) got swarmed in the fall.

Belated confession time!

Back in the days due to peripheral persuation from my friend and attending his rally I really hated her. I don't even know who she is.

Then I saw Val the bartender and something just switched on in my brain. Like "holy shit she looks amazing and huggable". And then I no longer hates her. She looks very nice.

Bur it's too late.

I should be doing math homework. Instead, I'm filling out adoption applications for corgi rescues. Not Sorry. Also, there are exactly zero corgis available for adoption in the entire state. That's kinda cool because it (hopefully) means all the corgis have homes, but I'd like to get one sooner rather than later.

It's always annoyed me that like 95% of kids shows with realistic settings take place in identical neighborhoods. It's always Everytown, America, upper middle class suburbia, where everyone has a big green yard and a nicely furnished, spacious house. As a kid who couldn't afford to live in a place like that, it made me feel left out. Of course there are the rare exceptions, but why can't there be more shows with diverse settings? I want more kids' sitcoms in the inner city (I loved Hey Arnold! growing up for that reason), or the middle of nowhere where people can only afford to live in trailers or ranch houses, and that's not seen as an anomaly to the typical "kids' show neighborhood"

Because it's what studio execs are familiar with and what they feel is the safest setting to make a show successful.

I said hi to a squirrel.

I had just gotten out of a class that's pretty early in the morning, so I was still kinda tired. As I was walking along the sidewalk, I saw a squirrel in the grass next to me, and I just casually said "Hi" before realizing what I had just done.

I swear the squirrel looked up at me as if it was saying "Dude, wtf. I'm not a human."

I looked around quickly to make sure nobody saw me. Thank goodness there was nobody nearby.

...

You word that like it's weird.

Should I not be talking to squirrels?

Of course not. They're a bad influence.

I talk to pigeons sometimes

There is an obscure country music cover of "It Never Rains in Southern California" that I find superior to the original.

The voice that I assign to my conscious thought sounds way better to me than my actual voice.

I think that's rather common, actually. See also, Do I Really Sound Like That?

I can do a spot-on Sandi Griffin impression. That may cue you in a bit on what my speaking voice sounds like

I can imitate Eddie Deezen if I really try. That should give you an idea of my voice.
