Post your random thoughts.

Dude, bats are rad. They're mammals...that can fly! You can't beat that!

Bats are adorable

They're like mice, but they fly. And they eat mosquitoes, so I don't care if they're ugly, being cute is just a very nice plus then.

Bats are pretty cool.

I agree. Fuck mosquitoes. They are the one thing in the world that is not Just Awesome.

Wow, assign a situation to the above music gave me a writing idea.

What the hell purpose do mosquitoes serve in a ecosystem anyways? Besides food, but I think there are other less annoying insects that fulfil that role too.

None, they just are effective at surviving. Evolution, how does it work?

Next time I won't forget to but on some bugspray in the summer.

In other news, It is finally warm here in Montreal.

You live in Canada. It's obviously pretty cold there. Do mosquitoes still find some goddamn way to getcha?

They find a way to send reindeer galloping into the rivers in a mad panic.

Of course they do. In the summer they come out in ridiculous numbers in a vicious attack on your blood. Extreme itchiness ensues.

It's the only thing I don't like about summer here, except for maybe sunburns.

Damn little bastards. How do you kill them even near-effectively?

I believe I read once that mosquitoes actually don't serve any purpose whatsoever. The males kinda pollinate on occasion, but it's so negligible that if you just killed every mosquito on the planet, nothing would happen.

Waiting forever for the Disney Store site to update with Inside Out merchandise (Sunday is update night!). Extremely bored.

Driving: Just got back from ~3 hours practicing the driving test routes (actual on-the-road driving included). It certainly took a while to acclimatise to the test center layout, considering that in ~14 hours of practice, I've only spent 5 hours there.

Alright, time to take the AP Chem test.

The larvae are a huge protein source for small fish and other aquatic creatures, and up north their emergence provides a welcome bounty of protein for small birds coming out of lean winter months. Not something I'd discount.

Yeah, my turtle used to eat their larvae all the time.

@ Demmy (from pages ago). Flat-roofed pubs are dangerous to be inside of. Those sorts of pubs are to be found in working-class, rough suburbs of cities, where you'll find tough guys. Think of them as the British equivalent of "salty spittoons".

Not to mention, such pubs are built to the most minimum of standards; so they're dangerous to visit anyway.

And generally most pubs within villages tend to be places that were for farmers or other labourers to be after work, and tend to be relatively safe because of an old and established atmosphere - they've kept with a tradition and stay standing as a village's meeting hall and general getaway building.

As it says on the page, they're built fast to get people drunk fast.

So Green Man Gaming support is fairly certain that I was only billed for USD 37.50, but the credit card company billed me USD 49.99 instead.

So it's an error on the payment gateway's side or that of the bank. Dealing with this is going to be fun.

So, I finished my English II EOC^?  End of Course assessment. For my weakest class, it went pretty well (probably because it was all multiple-choice and no On-Demand Writing segments).

The only thing that seemed to be off was that one of the students licked another student's booklet during the 10-minute break, and nobody cared.

EDIT: While walking to my next class, a girl in a inflatable sumo-wrestler suit that had a tutu on walked by me. This school is completely normal, I swear.

Why am I seriously considering starting this Trail of Cthulhu game in an archeology class?

Holy shit.

This song really speaks to me.
