Your okay, right? I do hope things get better. I'm worried about you. Just take a small break. I just want to make sure things are alright.

I’m fine. I’m just tired.

Educate me about pollination please.

When a mommy plant and a daddy plant love each other very much, they dance in the wind and let this weird dust stuff fly around and cause humans great nasal suffering so they can laugh at their pain together.

Then they bang.

Man, thank you so much. I haven’t gotten a message like this ages, and it honestly warms me up so much to just receive this out of the blue. ;-;

On top of that, I’m sure my brother would appreciate it as well. We recently went to the meeting I mentioned before and it feels so refreshing to hear that the school has his back. Hopefully he’ll be getting the right support he needs.

And it’s also good to see my mom get some sense slapped into her =2=

It’s been a stressful situation, but I’m confident that we can make it out of it. Thank you again for your support and kind words. I’m glad someone out there cares that much ;u;

As for PC, I do plan on continuing for as long as I can. And boy, that will probably a rather long time.

his cutie mark is a metro map

Almost!

Formally, the mark is representation of multiple timelines. The black one is main line. The green is a timeline that diverges from the main one. The orange is an AU that does its own thing. And the blue is some timey-wimey multiuniversal bullshit.

But I was definitely influenced by subway maps when I first came up with it. Public transportation and infrastructure and maps are other interests of mine.

Overall, the mark stands for a talent in world-building and designing. A bit broad, but I think it fits me alright. ‘ -’

Do you actually like Clinton at all or do you just dislike Trump so much more and don't feel a third party vote is worth it?

Asked by Anonymous

A mix of both.

Really, I feel like people are too easily falling for the idea that Clinton is some evil she-witch who is just as slimy as Trump.

That’s isn’t to say that she’s not imperfect, though. Even she wasn’t my first choice and I’ve always commented on how disconnected she seems with a younger audience, and how questionable her actions of late have been.

But she’s no Trump, and that is good enough for me.

As for third parties, it really isn’t worth it. Neither the Greens or Libertarians have a remote chance of winning, and all they’ll do is sap votes away from the Republicans and Democrats, potentially spoiling the election.

Seriously. Don’t do that.

What's it like having one of the shittiest hated fat cow governors in the nation right now? Do you think NJ will wait until 2017 to kick him out provided the presidential election doesn't make him leave first?

Asked by Anonymous

Probably, yeah.

Honestly, it’s gonna take a lot more than kissing Trump’s ass, abandoning his state for some pointless campaigning, and a couple of shuttered bridges to get Christie out of office early.

Which is funny because I feel like he’s already left. :V

Well actually I was wondering about more....TMI fun times. Like I'm sure some girl (or dude, I don't judge) has wanted the Cactus-D!

Well sorry to disappoint you then. ^^’

I’m not a part of that scene, unfortunately. And even if I were, I’d have rather specific tastes for what I’d like in a partner.

And all the plants around here are already taken.

You surviving the education?

Asked by Anonymous

Yep! Somewhat!

It’s been tough in general, but thankfully, this semester has been relatively easy-going.

Apparently if I double-down from now on, I can graduate early. It’s a long shot, but it’s nice goal to have set.

Now that you're in college, have you had any fun times? ;)

Asked by Anonymous

Some! But not what you’re expecting.

Exploring central PA in depth has been rather enjoyable. Hanging out with friends, having a few drinks, going to football games, etc.

No parties, though.

What happened?

So I’m a member of a programming/event organization at my uni. We do concerts, games, lectures, and various events throughout the year.

Tonight we were cleaning up after a concert and loading a freight elevator up with stage equipment to send downstairs to receiving and the trucks.

I was manning the elevator for a bit when one of the stage company guys told me to place a metal sheet over the gap between the elevator and floor so the carts can move easily on it.

Dumb ol’ me had trouble handling the heavy sheet and it ended up falling through the gap and straight down the elevator shaft, cutting a hydraulic line and causing the elevator to fall.

I managed to leap off the thing in time so I’m fine. Everyone thought I was fucking savage with the way I jumped off that thing, but honestly it was more of a slow descent than a sudden drop so ‘ 2‘

That elevator’s trashed, though. Hydraulic fluid everywhere.

So yeah, I broke an elevator and became Indiana Jones. Lucky me, I guess . 2.
