Kaymyth she/her Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Winter - The cold weather, the snow, the ice, the people who forget how to drive in snow and ice, the short days... Everything about winter, really. And the static electricity. Ye gods, the static electricity. Long hair + static charge = bad times. Casual Touchers - If you are a coworker, casual acquaintance, or (yes this happens) a complete stranger, why are you touching me? This is not a necessary component of normal conversation! Personal space violation! Shoo! Bonus demerits if you're a major corporate client who comes to visit us one day and your first instinct is to greet me with a hug. (Yes, this happened, too.) I...what...why? Note that I have gotten comfortable enough with the Sharders I interact with on a regular basis that y'all count as "friends" and thus a hug-greeting at a convention or something would not be taken amiss.

Who would you say your 5 "best friends" here are? Edited January 17, 2016 by Silverblade5
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Who would you say your 5 "best friends" here are? ... Do...do I have to answer this?
ThirdGen Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 ... Do...do I have to answer this? Take a step back, everyone. You'll go inside if you're on the list. 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Take a step back, everyone. You'll go inside if you're on the list. Stop it, you. Mostly I don't want to go shouting, "Hey, these folks are my favorite people! Which means the rest of you totally aren't!" Because that would just be mean. I don't like to be mean. But yes, Silverblade, if we ran into each other at a con and you wanted to give me a hug, I would be OK with that. And the same goes for any of the rest of you that I talk to enough to say, "Oh, yeah, I know that username!" Except ThirdGen. He's a coworker as well as a Sharder, so no hugs for him. 1

What if I brought Bruce along?
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 What if I brought Bruce along? Bruce would totally get scritches. And hugs, if he wanted them, but dogs do not usually enjoy being squeezed.
Silverblade5 he/him Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 ... Do...do I have to answer this? Not if you don't want to. Sorry if that was a bit personal.
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Not if you don't want to. Sorry if that was a bit personal. There are a few folks that I PM more heavily than others, but mostly I just want there to be a giant Sharder party where I get to meet everyone. 1

That would be amazing. We could all dress to fit our guilds or RPs and spend the evening avoiding the Dark Alley's cookies. 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 That would be amazing. We could all dress to fit our guilds or RPs and spend the evening avoiding the Dark Alley's cookies. One of these days, we need to organize something like this. Preferably at a con that we know Sanderson will be at.
Silverblade5 he/him Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 One of these days, we need to organize something like this. Preferably at a con that we know Sanderson will be at. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Road Trip. I drive. 1
Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Road Trip. I drive. Please. I'll even give hugs and I don't hug people.
Mistrunner Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Road Trip. I drive. I'll lead everybody in Sanderson camp songs. (Why is this not a thing yet? This should be a thing.)

Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 When people say MLP sucks. OK the songs are retarded and annoying but the plot and the adversaries actually make sense. In fact some of the 'bad guys' are actually ingenious creations. My fav would have to be Discord. The only thing I have against it is how the protagonists are mostly female save for Spike and Shining Armor and the antagonists are mostly male save for the equestria girls movies and Nightmare Moon however most en up becoming good. Yes I am a brony Incorrect grammar when spoken. Like how to use Much and Many, little things like that. It annoys me greatly and I cannot stop myself from correcting it (I am always doing so with my sisters). If you make a grammatical mistake when typing or texting I can understand that for most people cannot be bothered to do so correctly. And then there is Autocorrect, me arch-enemy, how it will woe the day it was incepted.
+Slowswift Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Wanting so bad to pick up a hobby but having no skills for it whatsoever. 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Wanting so bad to pick up a hobby but having no skills for it whatsoever. Skills can be learned.
+Slowswift Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Skills can be learned. *sighs* Yeah. I guess. Better get cracking on the piano then. Maybe we'll finally get around to finding some lessons.

It's when they pass judgment beforehand that it really bothers me. 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 *sighs* Yeah. I guess. Better get cracking on the piano then. Maybe we'll finally get around to finding some lessons. It does take a good bit of practice to get good, but if you pick up some beginner method books, you can get started on your own. Most piano methods are pretty equal, but you want to get the full set. So, there's Lesson, Theory, Technic, and Recital - all four have ongoing lessons that fit together as they progress. So you'll learn a basic thing in the Lesson book, have an exercise or two in Theory that teaches you the building blocks behind it, the Technic book works on drilling the skills, and the Recital book pulls them all together into a more complicated piece of music. (I've taught piano before.)
Silverblade5 he/him Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 *sighs* Yeah. I guess. Better get cracking on the piano then. Maybe we'll finally get around to finding some lessons. Meh, piano's overrated. Saxophone is where it's at.
