    That moment...

    When you write about something, and then there it is, actually happening to you. Can't use my right hand fully for a while - that's bad. The description I wrote is just darn accurate - that's the bright side of it.

    ... you check your bank account and see you've been paid in full, after fretting for over three weeks about whether or not work are going to screw you over.

    TMW your original is soooooomuch better than your rewrite...


    Im having trouble with a scene, so i made a whole new document with the original scene and a rewrite of the scene to compare the two. The rewrite sucks! The original has so much emotion and depth. The rewrite has characters sounding whiny and flat. Why am i second guessing myself???

    Im glad i just didnt up and delete the original...

    (I may also add that the rewrite was done months ago. I figure id let it sit for a while before i went back to it)

    TMW some flying buzzing insect somehow manages to find the only gap to get into your house, and spends a ridiculous amount of time trying to either consume or pollinate random objects, whilst steadfastly refusing any attempts for you to get it back outside. :bigmeh:

    TMW you realize that the patience internet once taught you have been taken away by that same internet.

    That moment when the loan guy says the course you have to take in order to complete the home buying process is only 10-15 minutes, but he forgets to tell you that's for each subject. Dude! I gotta go back to work in ten minutes. Come on, now.

    TMW your husband refers to the people on this forum as "The Oracles" :superlaugh:

    I needed clarity on something and searched through previous threads, and he comes over and says "consulting the oracles, i see"

    so now you guys will forever be known in my house as "The Oracles"

    TMW the very day after paying horrible debt (as in years-long kind of debt), Brand X decides to launch a mobile phone you've been dreaming of for YEARS, a phone they told you 'it'll never happen, forget it'...

    You could have bought that phone, instead of getting rid of debt. You could have been a cool, up-to-date hipster, you could have swaggered around with your head high because you've got the last one, you belong again, but no... No, you had to be a fucking adult and go and do the adult thing and pay that stupid debt... Who-fucking-cares!!

    And this belongs to the 'shouldn't be angry' blah thread, but meh, I'm just too (childishly) pissed off right now...

    Yes, it is silly pain, but it still fucking hurts...

    WHY. WHY THE VERY FUCKING NEXT DAY.

    TMW your can of cold drink starts hydroplaning across a smooth surface because it's sweating.

    That moment when your brother sends you a video of his daughter talking. Actually talking. She says yes and no. And she's so damn adorable.

    Please excuse me from life as I have died from the cute

    I love that! And when the carbonation sticks to your straw and levitates it out of your soda.

    There is a movie of that name.

    It's quite NSFW but funny as hell.
