@Morzathoth And @kaymyth totally agree. Snakes and bats are awesome.

[Delightful]

But snakes are also poisonous and could kill you.

Not all snakes here in the US are poisonous. Some are--rattlesnakes, coral snakes, water moccasins--but others--King snakes, garter snakes--are harmless. 

[Zathoth]

Ok fine I see why Australians are afraid of snakes, but they have only have themselves to blame, living in a country where everything is poisonous enough to kill you.

Even the tap water is poisonous enough to kill a young elephant.

Actually there is no such thing as a poisonous snake. Yeah, some of them can bite you and kill you, but they're venomous, not poisonous. Venom is injected like from a bite or sting. Poison gets in your body through skin contact or by eating or drinking, as with poison dart frogs.

Indeed, the only thing venomous is this slanderous attack on our snake friends!

Eh, better than Snake Clearing House. I'm sick of getting random snakes in the mail promising me a lifetime of riches if I'll just buy into a Ponzi scheme.

He's the actor who played Sebastian Shaw on X-Men: First Class.

I went to some trampoline park with my friends today. It was awesome.
(although my haven't-shown-up-in-long-time breathing problem tied to physical effort has occured and I had to take frequent breaks and my breath was rasping and I was coughing... NOT IMPORTANT, I had a good time)

Right now my legs are trying to get back at me and threatening to not function tomorrow, but I don't care And I scraped some of the skin on my knees, but next time I'll just wear long trousers or use bandages.

(Those are some of the many reasons I think Allomantic pewter is awesome)

Then we split up, I went with two of my friends (they're a couple) to his house, made a dinner, ate the dinner, made cookies (Hemalurgy free), ate cookies, watched H8ful. Good day.

I rode shotgun in a short plane to the Arctic circle. It was awesome.

Which Arctic circle? The restaurant, or the geographic boundary?

Either way, that's awesome.

Oh, that's unfortunate. Maybe. Depending on your weather preferences, I mean. 

[Sunbird she/her]

@Delightful As Twi said, he's an actor. There's this theory (no idea who came up with it or how true it is) that every human on earth is connected through relationships with other people to every other person by no more than 6 degrees of separation. So there's a game called 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon where people try to figure out the relationship chain between them and celebrities--for example, Kevin Bacon.

Heh, sorry!

All Australians are, of course, super humans. We're just super humans with good water

I really said that, huh? Tempting fate was I?

CORRECTION: Almost every muscle in my body hurts. Standing up or sitting down is a problem. Stairs are my nemezis now. Walking is hard. Steel, jumping was awesome, would do that again (but I'd do a proper warm-up before this time)

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

I decided to write bios for all of my WIP's characters, just so I could have all of that information in one place to refer back to. 

I've finished Susan's and have made serious progress with another's, and it really is helping me bring them together as characters. Plus, I'm proud of how the backstory segments are coming along.  

I also wrote 534 words for my Potterfic. 

I feel so writerly.
