stephable asked: HEY! BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you have been given this award, you are supposed to paste it in the ask of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but it’s always sweet to know that someone thinks you’re beautiful inside and out ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ --- Seems a bit girly to send to you but I think you're cool. Also sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth and not replying to you for a while.

Well you’re a lovely person! Thank you very much. Don’t think you aren’t though!
Don’t worry as well, I’ve been pretty busy lately as well. 

I don’t use Tumblr very much anymore because I’m quite busy with everything, but I will say something,

I am now in a relationship!

Miss Sarah, who’s one of my closest friends. She’s lovely, funny and great to be with, which is why I’m sorry I was such an idiot making up my mind. But… now I am with her, so yeah. :)

I need to learn what you do on a date… Who else tells themself that?

Most people desire occasional physical intimacy, which is a natural part of human affectivity, and research has shown it has health benefits. A hug or touch can result in the release of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin, and in a reduction in stress hormones.A lack of physical intimacy can lead to increased feelings of loneliness.

Yesterday was another prime example as to why I don’t ‘speak what I feel’

I just make things worse than they need to be. Purely thinking has the most progress, even if it creates stress.

Humans — who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals — have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and ‘animals’ is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them — without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. They are just too much like us.

- Carl Sagan (via sirmitchell)

I believe this comes down to the understood practice that if you actually saw what they do to the animals (ones we eat - in mass production) - raising, killing, preparing, you would be instantly against it and thus becoming a vegetarian.

However, I have seen these things, and my attitude is still the exact same. So, is it that this particular logic doesn’t always work, or is it that I did not fully absorb the emotional impact of the practice of murder? Or perhaps I did adsorb it, and I’m just a cruel heartless being?

Relatively long diary entry

Today was a work day. It was also a time I put myself aside to watch something I haven’t watched before, and am in dire need to.

I awaken at 8am to the drowsy, yet beautiful rainy morning. First thoughts are how the girls are at work, with their 6am and 8am starts (the Bakery is ‘outside’, so they get the wind/cold aspect), second thought was sleep, and thus I did so. Around 9am I came back into the conscious world. I read a little bit and then I did my usual things on the internet. Turns out my sister has a new boyfriend; introducing him to me randomly when he comes over mostly unexpected. I don’t care too much for her relationships, reasons of both jealousy and a jointed fact that she doesn’t keep them for very long.

1pm was my work start, and I walk there through the damp environment as the rain ceased for a while. Work was quiet, but still nice. I still do the usual clumsy things and hurt myself by smashing it, should be used to it by now. Me and Sarah are incredibly efficient together, even though we go relatively slow throughout the day.

After work I came home and started watching Forest Gump. Soon to be interrupted by Sarah asking/telling me to go to the bus stop with her and two others to Macdonalds. They wanted a Pokemon toy. So, basically obeying what she said, ran to the bus stop. More puffed out than usual running that far.

It’s hard being in part of her group. Because I am not one of them. I’m far less of an extrovert, not am I an avid anime/Pokemon/Disney fan. In any case, the two are lovely, and Sarah is good to be with. Was very wet though…. driselling rain… After two Macdonalds (the first one didn’t have a toy), we went home. I left the group as they decided to walk the most delicate one home.

Soon as I got home, I continued watching Forest Gump. Easy to tell why it won so many awards. Previously I had only seen the scene during/after he gets shot in the buttocks in Vietnam. Not sure how else I can word the picture, it’s touching because he does what he knows and all to help others.

That’s all for now, I have work again tomorrow. Will probably be a repeat of today but with different reading material, a different movie and working with someone different. You know, the usual.

LIBRA FTW! :)

I have mixed feelings about this. The top 3 just really get the bad end of the stick.

Mhm, as well. While, in as least smug as I can be, I do believe I am loyal and honest.
Though, one of my closest friends is Pisces; she can be mean at times, but that is purely being opinionated.

I really fucking hate everyone that does these last night things and then gets a fucking brilliant grade.

I spend days trying to understand the things and then start writing just to realise I don’t have ANYTHING in which I need, requiring me to stress as I look for everything.

Then I get to the point where it’s the night before, I can’t write a fucking thing My brain is dead as fuck. I have others who are “fine” yet I’ve done loads more than them. I HATE YOU. Good fricken lord, I’m confused beyond measure, sitting there figuring how to type words with my fingers and you’re there all perfectly fine.

I’m going to fail this assessment, I KNOW IT, and then you’ll be there saying you got a Credit, Distinction, High pass at the lowest. 

Hate myself incredibly right now. Hate.

The Word of Notch: Hey, Bethesda! Let's settle this!

I am back, and I am excited.

Marriage has been wonderful so far, and nobody sabotaged my computer while I was gone.

The only negative thing going on at this moment is the Scrolls trademark lawsuit nonsense, and I think I came up with the perfect solution:

Remember that scene in Game of Thrones…

Notch bets like a real gamer.

Super Mario Genderswaps! This was a super fun design challenge, and I’m pretty pleased with how they all turned out — especially Luigi. My favourite thing is how Waluigi just looks the usual design, but in drag.
