Have you ever set a deadline for yourself and then suddenly found yourself 5 hours behind because of random malware on your parent’s laptop, reorganizing luggage bags to save money and weight, checking in to a flight, waiting for dad to stop talking to a relative so I could get his card to pay for checking bags, and then fixing a printer to print out boarding passes?

Bleh.

Welp.
Just got into my first car accident.

Story time!

I was heading down a freeway on a curved bridge. Guy on a motorcycle suddenly came in too fast and sideswiped me.

We’re both fine, so don’t worry.

No massive damage to the car, either. Just a couple dents and scrapes.

How are people still not aware the “let’s make [insert anything] the most reblogged picture on tumblr.” post is just the same post with a different image every time.

One has to wonder what the post was about originally.

A mystery for the ages.

Tumblr User Anonymous is very concerned about you using the right words for roads.

I recognized the ample use of British vernacular, but was unaware that they did not use kmph, because last I heard they did.
It’s even in a smaller print on every speed dial in case you go overseas.

Actually, I think automakers mainly put k/h in small print on American cars because then it’s easier to sell or resell them in Canada and Mexico, which do use the metric system.

Also, I’m gonna be lowering the price of adding additional characters.

Instead of $3 per character, it’ll now be $2. I’ll reblog the updated sheet later.

Colored commissions should open next week with the starting price of $12. (If you order a sketch, you’ll get a discount equaling your sketch total if you upgrade to a colored piece.)

I have this slightly optimistic thought that people are indeed sending me commission requests but for some reason, Gmail isn’t receiving them.

So if you did send a request and I haven’t responded, send me an ask on this blog here.

Bottom line is that I’m just useless trash and I should really just learn to stay there rather than to envy everyone else.

The internet is big. REALLY BIG. There’s practically endless content, endless personas, and endless opinions. The great part is that you don’t have to get all that stuff shoved at you at the same time. But once in a while, you’re gonna see something bad. Something you may not like.

Normally, you can just weed it out and never speak of it again.

But if your response is to dedicate your persona to raving at this bad thing trying to get rid of it, crying because it’s not going away, and coming to the conclusion that everything with that thing is horrible instead of focusing and immersing yourself with the more abundant content of which you like, then you shouldn’t be online.
