Yeah, the latter is how it was explained to me. Like, literally break up with the person you love to see if they’ll fight for you to take them back. Or push them away and wait a few years to see if they magically reenter your life or something. Crazy, I think some people believe they live in a hallmark movie

“If you love something set it free, if it comes back it’s meant to be.” Nearly cost me the best relationship of my life because I was a dumb, impressionable kid that believed in wise sounding words. If you love something, hold on to it. Work for it. Don’t let it go just to “see if it comes back”.

Same could probably be said for just about any seemingly wise sounding sayings.

I’ve read the Mistborn trilogy and the first three of the Stormlight archive. Just finished Oathbringer this morning and I cannot wait to get the next one!! I love the maps and art in the books as well. Which have you read?

I’m wrapping up Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. Making my way through all of his books currently, it’s been a real treat! I haven’t been this excited to read books since I was a kid. Nice to see other fans around!

Can’t speak for all women, but I (and I imagine some others) changed my name because I knew I’d be having kids and didn’t want there to be any confusion. Like, if I’m traveling internationally or if my kid ends up in the hospital, I don’t want one of us having to fish out a birth certificate to prove we’re both the parents. Also I’m of the percent that absolutely hated my long last name so the chance for my name to be shorter and nicer was a no brainer.

Another vote for WalkScape! I’m doubling my walking time since joining, and it’s feeds the “gotta chop 100 birch trees” part of my brain.

I felt this until I got to the next region. No spoilers, don’t worry, but navigating it was…. Irksome. I 100% every region until the one following Corel and I’m upset that I stopped a bit but it just got too irritating.

Oh thank god, I thought I was crazy for hating him. I wish I could just turn off his ability to interrupt me while I’m doing things. It always feels like he takes forever to say everything!

That being said, is the protorelic side quest worth the Chadley of it all? I did the first two or three and they were kind of fun but the cactuar one in the… Corel region? Is where I stopped. I think I’m nearing the end of the game, so if it’s worth doing I should pause and go back for them all.

This is me with garlic

 

I’m looking for anything out there that could help me navigate grocery stores in Japan? Maybe an Anki deck for food labels with proper kanji? I’ll be there for a period of time later this year and while my conversational skills are okay, I don’t know that I could grocery shop! I’ve got Genki 1 and 2 and some vocab cards for various ingredients, but they’re mostly hiragana or basic kanji like 肉 or 魚 or ご飯. Is there anything else I could get? Books, YouTube channels, anything that would help prepare me to buy ingredients would be appreciated!

Crawl is a holiday tradition in our house! I know it’s on PC and Switch, not sure what else though.
