So random little aside, because you've said a thing, and I have a thing I enjoy talking about. I don't need more of a reason than that, stranger.
In a series of urban fantasy short stories I've been writing, a super old term for runic witches (witch being a gender neutral term) is "children of Odin" or "Odin's heir"
That's all. I'm just really proud of that terminology, and I just think it's neat. Like a potato.
Well, kiwis are clearly evil. I never knew! I've always liked the little buggers, and felt bad for them with the whole giant egg situation.
But that's a demon. It deserves egg pain. Shame it only gets the females.
I mean, I'm a gay guy, and is pretty much agree. "Pretty" is a pretty loaded term that almost by its nature implies femininity. Linguistics are weird, and while many things can be pretty, pretty and attractive aren't exact synonyms. I find men way more attractive, but there are far more women I would apply the term pretty to than are there men I would I would do the same.
Though, I wouldn't compare women to an old shoe, and frankly I'm offended by the little lesbian for besmirching my gender. We are not like old shoes!
I am very aware. I'm sorry :(
Plus I bet your teacher was hot.
Funny story, my dad was a carnie for a brief time, and then I acted a good bit as a kid in those true crime shows from the late 90s and early 00s. On both occasions I had a tutor/teacher instead of genuine/standard homeschooling. I got a shittier education both of those times, but both times I had the fucking hottest teachers. The first I didn't realize was a gay crush, because I was too young, but the second I was old enough to realize what the feelings were, but not out enough to myself to actually admit them to myself. But my God, so sexy. I definitely understand the "crush on teacher" thing haha
That's why I added all the stuff in the footnote. Haha. When I was a kid, we did home schooling because the area we were initially living had a lot of trouble of with knives and guns in the school, and then we started moving around so much it wasn't feasible to really get a decent education at a new school ever several months.
But the books that the state of Virginia told my mom to get ended up being a beka books, creationist nonsense. When my mom realized what they were she started getting me text books from library (we had settled down to only moving within the Hampton roads area by then). That indoctrination and shitty education is so rampant within homeschooling that even the state has given up on recommending decent material.
All that said, my mom (who, just to throw it out there because of comments downstream, did not finish highschool) was an amazing teacher. She instilled a love of learning in her kids, but honestly the most important thing I got from my education was learning how to learn. I feel like other kids learned how to pass tests, I learned how to absorb information and retain it, and how to actually find the information I need.
I also didn't take summers off, so I finished 12th at 14, which was, frankly, really fucking awesome. Lol. I used to get through an entire day's worth of course work before noon, and then I got to what we called free research. Which was basically "you can use the computer until 5pm, but it has to be at least tangentially educational." My God I read so much Wikipedia.
I wish I could be a proponent of homeschooling, because I know how fantastic it can be. But I can't, because the bad parents make it so, so much worse than anything that should be acceptable. We used to go to homeschool clubs, and even group teach (basically a class run by one of the parents with 15 or so kids, mostly as a way to get the other parents a few hours of free time), but had to stop because I would get in trouble with the other parents for saying things like "evolution" or on one occasion how condoms are a great way to prevent STDs. It sometimes felt like we were entirely alone in having a decent education in that system. We weren't, we met many, many other families with decent homeschooling techniques and actual science classes. But the ones who weren't? They were absolutely the loudest.
I'll trade you the feebles for a Matt Baume video on the original hella gay Muppets
I haven't watched the video in a while, but I'm pretty sure they're overly sexed little hellions lol
Whatever number is closest to 10 steals enough to make itself 10. Same goes for hundreds, thousands, whatever. Get your round numbers first, add in the others later. All numbers must become 10. In a pinch, a number may become a 5, but if so, it's really just become a half-10, and it should feel bad about itself that isn't a full 10 yet.
I was home schooled,* and occasionally I wish I had gone to public school, because I missed out on a lot of cultural touchstones, but then I'm reminded that kids are fucking horrible to other kids at any sign of differentness, and I was a fat, nerdy, gay bookworm, so, yeah, I'm good with the way things shook out. Haha
*Got a great education, not a religious nutjob, was not raised by right wing zealots.
Weren't the original Muppets like, Uber sexed and horny before it became a kids show?
I routinely quote this whenever I'm around my brother. If he asks me to look at something I'll say "close enough to get my eyes wet?" Or some shit, and we both lose it.
Just wear the patch. Manifest the desire, and eventually you'll find your reason! Believe in it, and you'll pop that ooey, gooey superball outta the socket with a spoon in no time!
