Firefighting
So, I decided a few weeks back that I want to spend my free time as a firefighter. I kept it pretty DL, simply cause if things didn’t work out, I didn’t want everybody to know. But today, I met with the volunteer coordinator for the fire department, and I got a tour and a lot of information about the dept and it’s workings.
Unfortunately, I missed the cutoff for the current hiring session, but I am the top candidate for the hiring session this summer, and I already have ride along sessions scheduled.
So, this summer, I will be a firefighter :D
on forever alone
That awkward moment when you realize even your “FOREVER ALONE” friend, has a relationship, and you do not.
The even awkwarder moment when you realize he’s had that relationship since your last break up, and YOU are the forever alone guy.
(It seems, I am the forever alone of my friends now.)
Glorious
There are many words out there to express a feeling of “This is worthy of barely comprehensibly good.”
A common one is Epic, which, while not bad if it involves a lot of energy, it falls short in most areas, even its intended use.
Amazing is another common one, and it is not bad, though it is over used.
Awesome is very much the most used one, and while it is a substitution for awe inspiring, it most definitely does not have a deapth to it.
The word Glorious, on the other hand, is the perfect descriptive word.
for example “That explosion was epic.” vs “that explosion was truly Glorious.”
the second one seems to make the explosion seem so much more than it was in the first description.
another example is: “That feels amazing.” vs “That feels Glorious.”
That one is a bit closer, but lets be honest, while you are pleasuring someone, would you rather they say the first one, or the second?

Yes, this exactly. Plus a bit of fascism.
Class warfare? not yet. but if they keep this up, it might begin to escalate.
This is one of my fave comics of all time.
I absolutely LOVE Gilgamesh’s reaction to Endiku!
The Epic of Gilgamesh is also one of my fave stories, and this summarizes it really well.
