I was thinking that if ~1 in 50 people are psychopaths does that mean we are evolving to be less emotional? Are we the proto emotionless aliens who invade Earth in sci-fi novels? Or are we evolving to be more emotional? Or am I reading too much into this? PS this was one of those thoughts I had as I was falling asleep and sounded way more profound

Thank you! I will pass the excited thoughts along. UGH I KNOW. I was so stoked when I finished my Masters last year. I felt so free to finally be done with school forever. (But alas, I keep thinking about going back for a doctorate, so maybe not)

That's a lot of sleep. It sounds amazing, frankly.

Yes, sleep is so important.

truth

I don't really update LJ much myself anymore, but I can't imagine not seeing you on my friends feed!

[zeitgeistic]

of course my dear! no worries. :)

eeee good luck to HCGS! Sharing living space is hard but... possibly cheaper?

*looks down* Do you have a separate yoga etc wardrobe that you're not counting in your 30 pieces? Also... I filled out the writing group google sheet! But it looks like your writing group has already made plans, etc, so don't feel obliged to loop me in. This way I can procrastinate some more on writing (: Otoh, if it's easy to add more people, I would still be super down!

Also, you got featured in crack_broom recently, btw! Since you have 150 friends you might have missed that... meanwhile I have like 10 lj friends lol.

Cheaper for sure, but...I'm hesitant to share a space until/unless we are ~seriously committed~. So it's a little distressing for that reason, too.

I do! I only shared my going-out/working clothes. I have t-shirts/leggings for sleeping in and leggings/tanks for yoga.

Ohhhh I didn't see that you'd filled in the sheet! Would you like to join now or wait? We are officially starting on Monday, but the first person getting critiqued sent out her pages today (early because we agreed she could send 40 this time).

I didn't! I'll go look!

haha... at my job you can wear leggings to work... guess what i wear to work :P i'm basicaly missing the entire "formal" section of my wardrobe unless you can count sundresses/formal dresses. -_- yeahhh

hmm what is the difference between joining now and waiting?/what is the agreed upon method of doing things? what if it's my turn to get critiqued and i don't have new material :X

and yahh i think it's your collab w someone else? super excite!

[zeitgeistic]

We can wear leggings too. It's super chill there, which I love. I just try not to overdo it because if I'm in leggings all the time, I'll gain weight for sure.

We were going to start with 2 weeks per person and rotate through until we've each had a turn, and then we were going to go to one month per. I suppose we'd just skip you. :P

oooh that one. about 50% hated. I just looked - really surprised they didn't say anything about the warnings, lol.

Uhm I know we are not interacting on a day to day base and I haven't been posting all that much, but I would be sad if you'd got "rid" of me. One thing that always surprises me is how different wages are seen in the World - 56k per Annum in Germany is more than decent. But I guess in contrast to us you won't be covered with a healthinsurance at 350$

It is exciting to see that you are so happy with Nathan. I hope it works out on the jobfront for him :)

[zeitgeistic]

No worries, dearie!

56k is totally decent here, too, for most areas. This city is just so expensive to live in that it's not a livable wage when you also have to pay $1000 or more per month in rent and $500 or more per month in student loans. I make $63,000 and my take home each month is only about $3000, $1200 of which goes to rent. So $56,000 is kind of terrifyingly little in this area.

I hope so too! And I like him! Thank you!
