Sometimes people are really inexplicbly fucking blah

So today I was trying to join this randomly stupid meetup group in my hometown due to my inherited kid (I will explain this eventually) being into cosplay and me buying a sewing machine to further her interests but not knowing how to use this make-stuff machine

Your life, I can't even

edit for stupid typo

Yeah, well you've been around long enough to know this is a lifetime now an exception.

Bring on the awesome food and super hot locals!

Now that sounds like a plan. :D

[ethrosdemon]

BRING ON THE BEACH AND BEANS/RICE!

[lanalucy]

That sounds pretty damn good, too. :D

Sorry to hear that some ass tried to steal your twitter. But hey I have been cosplaying for more than ten years and am in the middle of my costume degree at WAAPA to be a professional costume person so if you or your inherited kid wants any tips/advice/whatever just drop me a line :)

I don't have twitter but I feel very strongly that you should post a picture of your dog in a shark costume here because that sounds amazing!!

I have a brand new Singer and can't wind the damned bobbin. I mean I'm horrible at machines, but the kid tends to be pretty good, and we got the thread all knotted like idiots.

I am going to go on Youtube, I guess.

Yeah, you're great at making stuff. I wish I had your talent.

Lj, where did my comment go?

At any rate, I was telling you I have a brand new Singer and we can't figure it out at all. The instructions were written by someone with a hate-on for humans. I can read multiple langauges and can't make heads nor tails of this gibberish.

I wish I was as talented as you. Youtube for me.

I am constantly shocked, I must have a streak of optimism that can't be killed off, that people move somewhere different and are surprised that it is different.

And that people living in, say, Florida, might like it just the way it is.

For whatever reason, most of the places I've ever lived have been tourist meccas. I've been pretty good about that. I was raised right and am polite to strangers (less so people I know), so fine.

However, even when I came home on holidays and junk before I have absolutely no time for tourists or people from away who moved here. I can spot them at 500 yards. It's not even just their accents (which I have an ear for), but their body language and behaviours.

Dude, I know you're from Michigan or Ohio, please don't waste my time with your regionalism bullshit. I get that we don't act like people from back home. You now live in a totally different place full of people who don't have the same expectations/behaviours/concept of reality as you--what is your damage?

Basically, to sum up: everyone from elsewhere go back to where you came from because I WILL say very rude shit to you in Publix when you don't respect polite conduct because you were raised in Yankeeland.

Over and out from the edge of the biggest hurricane to ever hit the US.
