Orlion Blight he/him Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 Maddie woke up a 4 in the morning and decided to claw 2 pieces of Christmas clothes into shreds. Is my fashion that bad? Yeah, I bought myself some new shirts at American Eagle, brought them home, and one was almost immediately shredded by my Quick cat.Another cat I was temporarily taking care of shredded my jeans because he insisted on climbing halfway up them and hang there for a bit. They're adorable scamps, aren't they?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Pottermore: The Malfoy family grew wealthy by buying up real estate, wizard and Muggle. Before the Statute of Secrecy, one Malfoy wanted to marry Queen Elizabeth, a fact that was denied in subsequent generations. What a bunch of scumbags. Pottermore: The Potter family grew wealthy by selling potions to wizards and Muggles, intermarrying with Muggles on occasion. Their one family heirloom could have allowed them to steal anything they liked, including state secrets, but since there's no proof they didn't we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. What great people! .... Look, Pottermore, I know this is the Malfoys we're talking about, but can't you respect good business sense when you see it? 6
Stormgate he/him Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Which house did Malfoys generally go into versus Potters?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Which house did Malfoys generally go into versus Potters? Malfoy was Slytherin, Potter was Gryffindor. So that explains the bias right there.
Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Yeah, I bought myself some new shirts at American Eagle, brought them home, and one was almost immediately shredded by my Quick cat. Another cat I was temporarily taking care of shredded my jeans because he insisted on climbing halfway up them and hang there for a bit. They're adorable scamps, aren't they? They are, though my enjoyment is somewhat tempered by the fact that I'm mildly allergic. I can still pet them, just not for long.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 "I found a company that's better than a U-Haul!" "Nice, but you should really consider getting a U-Haul because we suggested it and reasons."
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 "I found a company that's better than a U-Haul!" "Nice, but you should really consider getting a U-Haul because we suggested it and reasons." Right. Because making any other decision would imply that you're better at adulting than they are, and that would just be rude.
Stormgate he/him Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Really, it's almost like these people don't want you to leave. 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Right. Because making any other decision would imply that you're better at adulting than they are, and that would just be rude. They hinted pretty strongly that they want me to get a U-Haul so they can make the drive up there with me, which I pointed out they could do just as well if I took my car. To which they responded that they've driven a lot of U-Hauls, cross-country, with dogs. Oh, and they're going to give me the furniture in the formal living room, so I might have to pay for more space if I go the POD route anyway. Look, I don't even care about the extra money. I just want the convenience.

It's because they always manage to ruin every victory I have.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Wait, what's the job status, Twi? Officially: Still don't have it. However, they want me to fly out to Iowa for an onsite interview, which will include a formal interview, lunch, a tour of the town, and a storytime for about ten kids. They'll reimburse me for the travel expenses, too, so there's a good chance I'll be moving to Iowa before too long. 3
Kestrel she/her Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Oh, that's great! Glad to hear it. Good luck at the interview! 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 What's the job? Children's Librarian in Algona, IA. The pay isn't terrific (just under $30,000 per year) but since it'll just be me and Bruce, it should be doable, and I'll be able to apply for a better position in a few years if I get it. Oh, that's great! Glad to hear it. Good luck at the interview! Thanks!

A Librarian! Don't defect to their party, and no sacrificing Oculators to make powerful Lenses.On the other hand, sounds like a great job. 2

I can't believe I haven't made this joke before, but you had better get yourself some horn rimmed glasses and watch out for Smedrys, because you are about to become a Librarian!. . . That sounded a lot funnier and less desperate in my head. Edit: wow, ninja'd. Great minds think alike, Stormgate? Edited December 27, 2015 by The Honor Spren 5
Quiver he/him Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I know not what unholy diety I did offend to be blighted with this ailment, but surely coming up to 24 hours without ssleep, back pain and vomiting more than equals my supposed slight. I hate everything right now. Edited December 27, 2015 by Quiver 3
