That I will belong like I did there, unlike my years at high school where I have never felt like I belonged. I just got my associate's degree from WSU in Ogden, and I can tell you that, apart from a few, college seems to have done away with the high-school cliques. 1 hour ago, Steeldancer said: the cute girl hitting on me probably didn't hurt either That always helps.

But I was also starting to date my at-the-time girlfriend, and I think she stopped talking to me after I didn't get into Conference All-State this last year

Draginon he/him Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Last Friday work did staff awards and I got some gift cards for Subway, Olive Garden, Starbucks (not a fan but I do their tea and frappes), Cheesecake Factory (not something close so it'd be a special occasion), AMC and Amazon (my mom got the same cards and she gave me the Amazon since she doesn't use it). Already used some of the Olive Garden (since some slontz kid broke my mom's toe when she was going in and I didn't want her to pay for the meal) and used the Amazon to get a passport wallet for Christmas (better to keep track of the passport, once I actually get it delivered, and the stuff for the cruise), Power Rangers Samurai (the only season I'm missing) and MST3K Volume 17 (since it's out of print it costs a bit of money so the cards helped here). 2
Draginon he/him Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Found a 'quiz' that shows which Pixar films you prefer. Here's my results Funnily Inside Out is 1 but I only saw it once the whole time doing this. Got to see Toy Story 2, Incredibles, Finding Nemo and Wall-E a lot in it though. Here's the link: https://sorta.app/q/1003

It's interesting figuring out which films we like versus ones we do like but are more meh on. I wasn't surprised by my results since I loved Inside Out (though when it was first announced I was skeptical since it sounded more like a concept for a short film and not a full length one) but then I wasn't all that wowed by MU or Cars. Haven't seen Coco and don't plan to since I haven't been impressed with Pixar's Mexican related shorts, and to be honest Mexican culture doesn't interest me that much (not in a bigotry way, just in the same way someone doesn't like sports or bagpipes) and while I like skeletons (looking at you Jack Skellington) the look of them in this film turns me off.

Trust me when I say it was amazing. I think it might have been the first movie to actually make me cry. Although obviously it’s my first rated, so of course I’m going to say that. See it if you get a chance.
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 I finish my first nursing course in 2 weeks ( Assistant In Nursing/Nursing home nursing) and I just got accepted into my second nursing course!! (Enrolled nursing/hospital nursing) WOOHOOO!!! 6
ccstat he/him Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Feeling super relieved today. For several months now my wife has been showing symptoms that pointed to multiple sclerosis. Her mom has MS, so we were pretty sure that was what was going on. Well, she had her MRI last week and today was the followup appointment. Turns out there are zero lesions to indicate MS, and her symptoms are actually caused by something much more benign (cavernous hemangioma) that doesn't result in chronic or progressive debilitation like MS. Whew! It's a huge weight off, and I feel like I actually have the emotional energy now to address all of the craziness that is happening at work. Feel very blessed & fortunate. 5

That's great that your wife's not seriously sick. Finally got an update one my passport and it's finally done processing. I sent the application in beck over spring break in March and then had to get a 'real' birth certificate because the one I sent apparently wasn't good enough. Should be getting it next week. Also ordered some stuff off of Amazon and got all that yesterday. The first is a passport wallet/book so that it's easy to keep stuff together when on vacation internationally. The second was Power Rangers Samurai, meaning I finally have the entire show to binge watch (until Ninja Steel gets released). The Final was MST3K Vol 17 containing the episodes The Crawling Eye, The Beatniks, The Final Sacrifice and The Blood Waters of Dr. Z. This cost a little more than usual since it was out of print but hats worth it (just have to get the other two that are out of print) 1

I have good memories of catching trout with my grandpa. He loves fishing and would always take me and my brother on a fishing trip when we visited him as kids. Also, I have more photos to share! I've been working on a ginormous backlog from my trip to Ohio to visit my parents. Bullfrogs (3 photos): Spoiler I swear this first one was a big as my face! He was huuuuuuge. Various warblers (4 photos): Spoiler Blackburnian Warbler. These are the prettiest warblers, in my opinion. Just look at his flaming-orange throat!

Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Sorry for double post, but I'm seeing Incredibles 2 tomorrow! The fourteen year wait is finally over! I've paid a little extra for gold class- minors can't get into gold class without a guardian so my boyfriend and I can fully enjoy the nostalgia as 90's kids. (We are both over 18 so we can get in muhahaha) I really really can't wait!!! Edited June 12, 2018 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
Sunbird she/her Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Congrats @Steeldancer and @Queen Elsa Steelheart on graduating!!! My good news for today: Last week a friend at my apartment complex (her name is Mariah) messaged me asking for help finding a new home for her cat, since she is moving to a very un-cat-friendly place and can't take him along. Since then I've been scrambling around talking to my friends on Facebook and IRL to see if they knew someone who could adopt him, my roommates to see if they would be okay with adopting a cat, and my cat-loving relatives to see if they had any re-homing advice. I was really worried that Marcos, the cat, would end up having to go to an animal shelter when Mariah moved out, for lack of other options. But! Here is where the good news comes in. Last night I visited Mariah's apartment, and I found out that Mariah's roommates have agreed to keep Marcos for the time being (basically until August, when their lease is up) while I continue trying to find a permanent home for him. I'll get to come over and pet him and help take care of him, and I'll have a few months to find him a home without worrying that something awful will happen to him in an animal shelter. Here are a couple photos of Marcos. He's a total sweetheart! Spoiler 2
