Migraines, dreams about some of the most uncomfortable parts of my past, cat infections, D&D sessions so loud you want to scream "Just shut the fuck up" at everyone in the room despite your generally quiet and reserved nature, school plans, life plans, more than $80,000 a year, kittens getting older, election stress, family stress, cosplay, messy ( Read more... )
