So what does eldritch actually mean?

 

 

Weird in a way that's beyond human comprehension. Something that is eldritch is above the human mind's understanding in the same way that a vacuum cleaner is beyond the understanding of a small dog. It is something that is horrible, impossible, and reflective of minds far greater than your own.

That was one of the nicest guys here. What could he have done to get banned?

 

 

The admins have always been excellent when it comes to being open and transparent about what happens on the forum. Try shooting Rubix a PM about it.

There is no such employer as [REDACTED].  Please continue to believe Turkey is a country way over that-a-way, not surrounding your cabin right now.

 

Uhh, I mean... I have nothing to do with this situation!  You don't know who I am!

WayneSpren got banned??

When did this happen???

I know sometimes (at least in other forum) someone wishing to take a break will request to be banned so as to remove the temptation. Not sure if that's the case here, but it might not be so bad, I hope.

Dad: Bruce loves his life here. He's going to be so confused when you move.

Okay, Dad, the storms are you trying to do here? Do you want me to live at home forever, or is this some sort of freakish "move in down the street from us" manipulation or....seriously, what the storms is this. I'm already feeling guilty about plotting to move Bruce away from Bruno and Mollie and everyone. Just shut up okay. I'm having a hard enough time convincing myself he won't be happier without me.

I will talk about it via PM, if anyone's interested.

 

Edit: I've hidden a number of requests while I type up a message to send out, just to help keep the thread on topic. If anyone else is interested in being added to the PM, feel free to PM me.

I don't drink coffee because I can't stand its taste (the smell is amazing, coffee-flavored things, such as cake and ice cream, are the best, but the drink itself is awful.  Yes, even cut with so much sugar and creamer in varying percentages that it's not coffee anymore.  I have tested extensively).  I also don't drink tea, because it usually tastes like grass to me, which is also a taste I'm not overly fond of.  So my caffeine intake is usually in the form of soda.  I looooove me some Dr Pepper. 

 

Realizing that I needed to cut back on the soda intake, but unwilling to give up the wakeful goodness that lets me function as a human being, I started using the Mio energy flavored water things.  Everything was going well.  Then, this last week has been pretty brutally terrible; I thought it was because I was cramming a 40 hour week into 3 days, which involved a whole lot of waking up early and going to bed late.

 

Today at Thanksgiving dinner, I was showing my little vial of energy water, and realized that a week ago I had bought the wrong one.  The one without any caffeine at all.  So the reason I've been feeling like a zombie and having major headaches wasn't due to lack of sleep and stress from work, it was withdrawal.

I've moved houses with pets plenty of times, they get used to it really quickly, particularly dogs, their version of 'home' is the person they love so as long as you're with him I'm sure Bruce will settle in fine even if you take him to the other end of the world. :)

Agreed! Places are far less important than their owner to dogs! Don't worry Twi, Bruce will be glad to accompany you on  your moving adventure :)

My mom's stupid words worked their magic. 

 

I'm afraid I'm going to fail now. 

 

I'm afraid I'll get a job 2,000 miles away, get settled in, and have some disaster strike. Or worse—I'll bungle things through my own stupidity and wind up homeless, sharing Taco Bell burritos I scavenged from the dumpster with Bruce. 

 

I'm afraid she's right and that my way is the wrong way, and I won't realize it until it's too late. 

 

I'm just afraid, okay? My mom whined about how I don't want to live close, and now I'm scared.

Twi, YOU WILL BE FINE! To be honest, that actually sounds a bit better than what you currently have.

Maybe for me, but not for Bruce. He didn't ask for any of this, and if I wind up on the streets, he'll have done nothing to deserve it.

OK, Twi, repeat after me:  "Inhale pink...exhale blue!"*

 

You will be all right.  I believe that your mother is, consciously or not, trying to sabotage your efforts so as to keep you under her control.  You are awesome.  You are amazing.  You are going to FIND a job, and you are going to ROCK that job, and your mother is someday going to be having a heaping helping of humble pie.

 

Remember, even Brandon Sanderson got a pile of rejection letters before he got published.  You. Will. Find. A. Job.

At least he'd have you.

But there's a chance I won't, that I'll get a job and screw it up. A good chance. 

 

What is this I was so confident earlier, and now I'm wondering if I'm even capable of adulting.

An owner who can't even give him a roof over his head and a warm place to sleep. He really lucked out there.

That is your mother's strings talking, not you.

A warm jacket makes a great roof.

Thanks. I…I don't know if I can believe what you said right now, but I'll try. In the morning, I'll start on a list of all the times my mom was wrong. Maybe that'll help.

Remember that advice I gave you earlier on lists? Did you try it? If so, was it helpful?
