TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Sounds like you've adulted well. And the kids loved you which is probably the most important thing. Out of pure curiosity, what did you end up ordering for lunch? Thanks! A Tuscan Turkey panini. It had shredded turkey, a basil pesto, mozzarella, and tomatoes.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 A panini is a grilled sandwich made with bread that is not sliced.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 So it's made with an entire loaf?? It'd be something like cibadda or a roll cut in half. Basically, if it's not the "sliced bread" you buy in grocery stores and it is grilled, that's a panini.
Delightful Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I am in awe of your sandwhich expertise. Thanks

How do I ask him out asdfghjkl Ask him if he wants to go to the book store then get into a competition about what's the best fantasy series. Worked for Mrs. Voidus. 1

Man tho that conversation'll be so dull because we both read the same stuff it'll just be agreement, heh.He asked me if I wanted to go buy fish with him for aquatic science. I had to say no because I was technically still in school and couldn't leave campus.

That's a good start, he knows you exist and asked to spend time with you! You could do some dorky thing like "I couldn't come with you to get the fish but do you want to go get fish and chips or something?" That is a bad idea. Ignore me. Ask him out to see a movie you'll both enjoy?

Ask him out to see a movie you'll both enjoy? I'd recommend something that lets you talk for the first date. Maybe ice skating, or to a local park for a picnic and frisbee? Also... I drove through snow and towns like Britt, home of the annual hobo convention. I spent the better part of a day convincing strangers to pay me to read stories to children. I explored a town that takes less than ten minutes to drive through. I made it back in a rented car, through snow and fast falling temperatures, as night was coming on.

Delightful Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Proud aggressive Twi is a welcome change from nervous and unsure Twi. You go girl!
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Did you at any point start humming the MLP theme song? No, but maybe I should have.
Delightful Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 No, but maybe I should have. wouldn't make you any less adult to me.

I AM AN ADULT AND I DARE YOU TO DISPUTE IT If you move there, you will only be a couple hours or so from Riverside, IA. It's the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk! Did you at any point start humming the MLP theme song? If I can do that occasionally and still be accused of adulting too hard, then this argument is invalid. (I've been waiting simply ages for a good excuse to use this here.) Edited January 12, 2016 by Kaymyth 2
DreamEternal Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Also. I found out the guy I like is single. How do I ask him out asdfghjkl I have no idea how to help you, but wish you luck. Just remember that if you feel you are not interesting or special enough, you shouldn't worry. Everyone feels like that, and yet often things manage to work well anyway.

Delightful Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Ohmigod. If that gets you a rep as a punster I take no responsibility.
Mistrunner Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) I just found something I wrote that makes me realize yet again how awful I've been to one of my characters. He was originally cast because I needed a character who was a soldier the rebels rescue off a battlefield. He's a really likeable, nice guy. Pretty good at sparring, but once he's in a real battle the chaos gets to him and he panics. Nice boy, little scatterbrained. Well, for his regiment to leave him for dead he had to have been pretty injured, so I gave him a broken leg and a concussion. Fairly mild, though the broken leg was kinda bad. A few weeks of recovery, he'd be fine. But then concussion led to mild amnesia, and while that faded fairly quickly he started to show signs of PTSD. He started getting nightmares. I looked up time period medicine and realized his leg would have to be amputated. He's a soldier used to being on his feet- it's what made him useful, in his mind. Not being mobile plunged him into depression. Also, his crush dies. I can't handle this. Somebody give him a hug. This was supposed to be a fun story... Edited January 12, 2016 by Mistrunner
Kobold King he/him Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 "child…my mafia character" Kobold, There are parts of my past you don't know about. A darkness that if you knew about... you'd think differently of me. I've worked hard to bury it. But you had to go and ask all these questions... * cocks gun * I tried to write a superhero novel as a young teen. It involved, to the best of my recollection... A teenage girl named Joules Tyler with superpowers. I seem to recall being very smug and pleased with myself for her first name, since she could control energy. A brilliant young scientist named Alexandra Hawkins who invented a machine that was never fully explained but had the ability to warp space and time? I'm not sure why I felt the story needed two poorly characterized Mary Sue protagonists, but I guess I've never been one to do things by half measure. A villain who... I actually can't remember who the villain was. It was either the guy who could turn invisible or a telekinetic. Probably the latter since I was on a Heroes binge at the time. The Mafia, whose pasta-themed names I was blissfully unaware of. I don't like to brag about my past as an aspiring author.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I'm going to take a nice long bath and then go to bed by 9pm. Because ADULT. Also, I got like 4 hours of sleep last night and the adrenaline/nerves/breakfast burrito concoction that had sustained me all day has finally run out. 1
