    That moment when you finally feel brave and somewhat reckless and email the attractive guy at work about a mutual interest and then dash off to your lunch break so you don't have to see his response.

    Man, I need to throw up.

    TMW you acknowledge a location for the first time. Sitting in a spot in your room where you've never once set before and taking in the angle. Bending down and realizing that the space beneath and around your hedgerow is a place to your neighborhood cats.

    Well, the bird is green, but he is no frog (though he sometimes croaks like one) and definitely no prince.

    just tell him how much you want to stroke his beard ... guys are much less likely to take offense at female interest than vice versa even if they aren't interested.

    I'm totally not available, but i wasn't too fussed when one of the PAs at work asked if she could stroke my hair ( I missed my last two hair cuts so look a bit like a cross between a werewolf and a deranged bearded collie at present)

    I forcibly pet my partner's beard whenever the opportunity presents itself (usually when he's distracted by a video game). Generally, he throws me off like I'm a pitbull trying to hump his leg. Though honestly, I am rather forceful about it. He may think I'm trying to rub it off his face.

    Ah yes. That reminds me of my confession of interest in @Cave Troll . Also my second message to him, where I was afraid he would say that he liked me too...but not "like that" . Fortunately I was wrong. :D

    I pet my own beard. It's pretty darn luxurious, if I don't say so myself.

    I FEEL LIKE you should talk to my best friend then because he always tells me it's weird that I want to touch the beard. I love touching beards. It makes me so happy. Like, I'm not doing it because it makes me wet my pants, it just is a texture thing I like on my fingers.

    There was a girl at my old job that used to come up behind me and run her fingers through my hair and scritch my follicles.
    Gave me a hairgasm every time! :D
    Are there any brain-massage therapists? Is that a thing? :)

    TMW your tablet informs you that it can't upload a photo from it's own memory, because it doesn't have enough memory. o_O

    What baffles me is why it needs memory to upload something it's already storing.
    I have a photo on the tablet, that I was trying to post in taverns. Why does it require memory to do that?
    It doesn't make sense.

    I fucking hate technology. This is why I will never work in PC world.
    I can't wait until this distance is closed, then I can shun it all!

    because photos are stored compressed but take up more room uncompressed to display

    Quick and dirty, computers have two types of memory. Storage memory and working memory. Everything that's in storage memory basically just sits there, but when you access it, it needs to be moved to working memory for programs to be able to do anything with it. So even if it's in memory, it may not have enough "memory" work with. Tablets are pretty bad for having memory issues because they're usually shipped with a lot of proprietary software or bloatware that's almost impossible to get rid of and basically sits there doing nothing but using up resources, and that's not even counting the whole update schedule/ planned obsolescence thing going on with them.

    TMW you scroll through your feed and have to unfollow yet another mofo because they post horrific "something horrible happened to this animal and I need you to see it" posts.

    Jesus H., man. Who the fuck raised you?

    An abusive ex posts pictures of damaged animals all the time saying "I bet this won't get one like."
    With any luck, that will be a red flag to any other potential interests. Though he should really be in prison for attempted murder (of me) and actual bodily harm (also of me). He was on parole when I met him.

    The 5 stages of TMW your tablet falls into the toilet:

    :ohno: Oh shit, it's vacated my hands...

    :bigeek: It's bouncing off the toilet seat!

    :blech: There's only one thing for it.

    :whistle: Rescued.

    :agreed: Safe and dry.

    When you get those brief flashes of delight when something occurs to you, like just now when thinking about getting home tonight and remembering I’ve got a pot of Cadbury’s Double Decker Ice Cream in my freezer.
