I somehow managed to get a small amount of spaghetti sauce in my eye.

I'm fine, but I'm just surprised that I managed to do that in the first place.

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

My brother once opened my father's bottle of Dave's Insanity sauce. He lift the seal on the counter. I picked it up and threw it away, then adjusted my glasses. Three seconds later I was trying to pluck my eye out.

Ya ever seen that phone game app where this lady keeps having her sheep die on her?

I can't locate the post about it, but I think it confirms that's accurate to how sheep are reared in Australia or somethin

Charity drives give me an opportunity ot see the best and worst of my community. Right now we're running the Make-A-Wish drive. In two days we've raised over $300 at one store, which means that people are giving.

But at the same time, I see some of the worst things with charity drives.

On day one of the drive, I had people blatantly lie to me, "You guys got me last week."

Also, it's charity, strictly voluntary. But most of the people who choose not to give seem obligated to offer up some excuse as to why not. No one who gives ever seems to feel a need to give a reason why, but people who choose not to, it's like they have to explain themselves.

And one guy went on a tear about how he chose not to have kids because he couldn't afford them, and he damn well didn't have the money to spend on other people's kids when their parents didn't have money for insurance. It took every fiber of my being to restrain myself from pointing out to him that Make-A-Wish was not about covering medical costs. It was about trying to provide some level of comfort for children who had been given a prognosis of certain death.

And I know, guys like that aren't the majority of people, and I shouldn't let him get me down, but dealing with that kind of mentality is exhausting.

So, to the people who gave, bless you and thank you.

And hopefully I can get through the month without many more like that one guy.

Okay, so here's something for people to think about: "When have you noticed you've been through some Character Development yourself?"


For me, it's when I took the 16 Personalities test recently, and found it gave a totally different answer to last time. Previously, it said I was an ISFP-A, but now it's saying I'm an INFP-A.

[up]Meh, those tests aren't standardized so any two tests could give the same person a different result.

Especially if only one of the 4 pillars have changed, that's not exactly "totally different".

As to character development, I have embraced my Christian faith, gotten rid of all my risque movies, tv shows, and books, make a conscious effort not to swear, and try to be forgiving, which has a higher success rate when I remember that I'm a very flawed person that others likely bear grudges against, myself. But perhaps the biggest realization that I've come to embrace is that I've still got a long way to go. So, be patient with me? I'm a work in progress.

Personal Character Development... hm. For one, I've realised how immature - and quite frankly, clingy and desperate for attention - I used to be, and I think I've definitely grown out of that, especially since meeting my current irl friend group. I've also begun creating more Original Characters and sharing them on the internet, whereas kid/teenage me would have just shoehorned my one Self-Insert into everything and early-20s me would have outright hidden my OCs for fear of ridicule. (That said, creating bios for them can be difficult sometimes, especially when working around Twitter's character limit... and no, I am not paying for Twitter Blue and its ridiculously high character limit, I am ADAMANT about this.) But I think the biggest change is that I'm slowly learning to love myself and accept that I'm not perfect and never will be, that I don't have to be good at everything I do as long as I enjoy it, and that I don't need to beat myself up over things that happen to me that are beyond my control, because sometimes things just happen like that.

One of the first things I try to draw after I got in our tablet was Link dressed as a Plague Doctor.

Earlier that day I was talking on another discord about how he had a few different environmental protection suits but not one for poison protection. After about an hour I came to the idea of basing it on a plague doctor making a primarily purple and maybe adding some modern-day air filters. Then I remembered I'm totally out of practice and can't draw.

In order for things to change, you must first change things.

As (probably) the most frequent moderator of the Trope Repair Shop, I can confirm that you need to change things before they can change, and that includes wiki pages.
