That Moment...

Sometimes 27 year olds can learns from teenagers!

 

You're never too old to learn something new. I fully expect I'll be learning new things when I'm an old man.

 

Indeed.

 

TMW you wonder how long it would take you to attain a professional working proficiency in Spanish. Isn't Spanish a relatively easy language to learn for an English speaker?

 

I think so.

 

Bueno.

 

I think most west European languages are easy for English speakers. They share a lot of words.

 

In addition to cognates, I was also under the impression that Spanish has relatively straightforward pronunciation, spelling, and syntax. If Wreybies reads this, maybe he can clarify whether this is true or not.

 

German, I find based on what I know, is quite logically structured. More logical than English which has so many copied words and contradictory rules. Urgh.

 

We should probably not get too off-topic here talking about language.

 

TMW when someone says something bad about something you like and you have to resist the urge to go on the offensive. "Bitch, you did NOT just say that about Dougal Dixon!"

 

The moment when, after a weekend visit to see your family, you find yourself channeling your mom and siblings. And you don't want to.

 

That moment you come across a car and a deal that you just don't want to pass up. It will be nice to drive a Mercedes...

 

TMW you're watching The Force Awakens and come up with two theories:

• Rey was a Jedi before, but had some memory wipe done on her so she can't remember anything. That would explain how she seems skilled with a lightsaber despite apparently never touching one in her life.

• Finn is Han's long-lost son from a forgotten mother that he and Leia don't know. What? It's a pet theory of mine, Captain Finn Solo rings well, and Han and Leia needs to have a kid that didn't go bad and kill everyone.

 

That moment when you are sitting on the tram, chatting with your brother, and suddenly melted chocolate starts spilling out of the loudspeaker on the back of your phone.

 

How exactly did that happen?

 

TMW a spider skitters across the floor and stops. Just feel like it's staring at you. "I'm coming for you later." Squish.

 

No, don't kill the spidah! They're actually pretty cool. They eat mosquitoes and cockroaches and stuff. Although, I suppose you don't live in Australia and have a mango tree. So, less of a benefit for you. But still. Most spiders are really not very aggressive. Or even very dangerous. Even some of the scarier ones.
The Barely Venomous Australian Huntsman:

Pretty big for a spider, but not going to kill you unless you are creatively idiotic with how you respond to bites. And it's not very aggressive. They show up in houses because they are good habitat but they hide in corners and tend to freeze if you look at them. And run away easily because they're not stupid and humans are way bigger than them.

I know, I know. I also know that the spider I TMW'd only stopped to catch it's breath, or it'd probably die of asphyxiation. Literally. They don't breath faster during hard physical work, they breath through osmosis on pads in their outer shell.

 

TMW you realize you're drinking a little too much, and had been doing so for the last few days. While it was mainly for pleasure, not ‘I want to forget my troubles’, it's becoming very clear to me that my drinking is getting out of hand.

TMW you go online for help in combatting your alcohol addiction; I'm gonna nip this little bastard before it ruins my life/kills me. My problem is with the urges. I need to figure out how to combat the urges.

 

I always thought there was something phishy about the model of the phone being "LG F70-Choco"...

 

TMW you are going to buy cigarettes and on your way, you hear meowing coming from the trash bin. You defy your prestige and start digging in the trash and... there it is! A newborn kitten in a plastic bag. You look around in case you spot the disturbed fuck who did this, just to soon realize that everyone around seems equally suspicious. "Fuck them, buddy. It's you and me now."

 

Now you're set to be the protagonist of a dark urban fantasy full of bitey wit and eccentric characters.

 

TMW you realize that all your hero's are dead.

 

Can we make this a comedy instead? I'd rather avoid all the drama.
