In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

Location: Sister's wedding.
Status: Groomsman.
Doesn't that mean you get a chance with one of the bridesmaids?
After that dinner I cooked, I feel as satisfied as Goku. :)
I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.Didn't get any new bridesmaid numbers. Did catch the garter though.
@Prabs That means you were supposed to put it on the leg of the woman who caught the bouquet.
"but this has made for some awkward exchanges." ;p
But awkward exchanges are fun.
...at least for everybody else watching.

I'm home today. I guess it's alright. I'm trying to keep things lowkey because there was a lot of stress and drama that wasn't my fault.
In the meantime I had someone give me con-crit that I didn't really ask for on a fic concept (not even the story itself, but what I'd brainstormed for it.) If I want con-crit I explicitly ask for it. That is not something I did.
Ugh.
It made me lowkey lose motivation to write it. But someone did draw a nice picture of my story's concept before it even came to fully be... so I feel like I must keep going with it.

Even when your hope is gone, move along, move along just to make it throughThat happened to me when I went to my friend Max's wedding. :) I think I might have pushed somebody out of the way to get it, though.
I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.No shame in punching someone in the face to get that chance at marriage.
Hey, I'm pretty sure the only reason I caught the bouquet once is that I was the tallest girl there. And standing in front of all the little ones.
Blog linkDAY 1 OF THE BLACKOUT SEASON
My name is My Final Edits, and I'm writing what our ancestors would have called a survival diary entry. Due to an unfortunate descent of the water level in a major hydroelectric plant in my country, there's an ongoing plan to save up electric energy, which involves periodic blackouts of four hours. The issue at hand already existed since March, but it's now when the process is made official. Supposedly, the first such blackout for my residing area was planned for 12 am at the start of this very day, which I found very insensitive. So I had decided to turn off the air conditioner 10 minutes prior to the H Hour, and unplug the fan. I fell asleep and woke up at 3 am with an infernal heat in the darkness. My ears made me know the lights didn't go out because the air conditioner of the other room was still on. I was furious, and only could barely sleep afterwards.
Today, the blackout was programmed at different intervals depending on the residing area, but light hadn't gone out yet in mine (not that it mattered one way or another, because I was in another city). Apparently, there will be a blackout this very midnight, starting the next day. But now I won't bother anticipating things, because that's an impossible feat nowadays.
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300I nabbed the garter once.
My older bro grabs it at every wedding he goes to. Or at least, most of them.
#friggin athletic as heck how
Just when I thought I would be getting to bed early like a responsible adult, an hour-long drum n' bass mix comes on Pandora.
4 year-old girl in the neighborhood gave my dad a little card a few days ago (her parents are family friends of us, so it's not totally unwarranted). It reads "Dear (Dad's Name), You are my friend. Love, (Little Girl's Name). Insert "awww"s here.
Blog linkI just saw a pair of coyotes. At least I think they were coyotes; the fence made it hard to tell.
I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.Oh joy. Sourcing a pair of US Navy white dress trousers from Ebay turns out to be cheaper and more sure than trying to buy some white dress trousers from a German shop that may or may not ship to Poland.
Also, I don't know my blood type. Not only it's not written down in any of my old healthcare documents, but worse yet I'm Afraid of Needles and don't need any bloodwork done.

"what the complete, unabridged, 4k ultra HD fuck with bonus features" - Mark Von LewisDAY 2 OF THE BLACKOUT SEASON
I wasn't in my city when lights went out, so I wasn't affected by it. I was in a rural estate where I slept briefly in a room after having lunch. When I returned to the city, I started the daily walk and returned home at 6:20 pm. Since my brother couldn't contact the repair specialists, we couldn't send the Wii U for repair. Things aren't looking too good.
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300Do you know how long it's going to last? Blackouts are the worst.
My longest blackout was a Hurricane Sandy induced 12 days. Wasn't a fun time. But at least I was better off than the guy down the road who had a tree across his driveway and therefore couldn't leave his house for 5 days. We bought him groceries.
So, when I was in New Orleans I wandered into a gallery that had [[http://www.regencystamps.com/c.1870-porcelain-count-bruhl's-tailor-astride-a-goat-(dresden-porcelain)-lot300754.aspx this piece]]. Seriously, just read the story. And look at that goat's face. It don't give a fuck.
EDIT: Okay, so it turns out mobile sucks for copying UR Ls.
