That Moment...

My problem is, I'm cheap. Taxes on alcoholic beverages are sky high in my state, and my custom is to pick up a case when I have business across the state line. But with the shutdowns, I haven't gotten over there for quite awhile.

 

Some people on Earth still have the Spine to do this. I've choked on my beliefs a couple of hours ago - I just couldn't hurt a child (a 26-year-old child that is). I'm getting too tired of those tantrums. Yes, the subject of an argument is a boardgame that caused a disussion on human psychology.

 

That moment when something out in the rest of the house is making sounds and you're too chicken shit to investigate so it becomes a monster you'll deal with in the morning.

 

I swear to Christ I knew you were going to do something like that and now I'm dead inside.

 

I am sorry.

I too have bumps in the night,
though I never find anything,
figure it is the cat bumbling
about in the dark.

 

It's fine. I have a Triforce nightlight and it keeps me safe. I am going to put stronger batteries in it though.

 

TMW when someone you were in love with texts you out of the blue and wants to start seeing you again (we were never romantically or sexually) engaged) but you're in a two year relationship.

Spoiler

 

TMW when you've spent 5 minutes a day, every day, for the last three months, looking at the tadpoles in the pebble part of your fishpond... and then today you see one with tiny little nubs that will soon be legs.

 

Ahhh growth. I love watching things grow. Thus the reason I have five different types of fish tanks in my home. All my little friends.

 

TMW a car's tagplate gives you the inspiration to write a sci-fi set a thousand years from now.

 

TMW your neighbor schedules a tree service with a wood chipper first thing in the morning and your bedroom windows are open.

 

Have you ever seen Tucker and Dale vs. Evil? Don't go running at the crew.

 

I kid you not, ever since lockdown started, I hate sitting in my garden. Anyone would think i live next to a lumber yard or a tree surgeon. Every day, without fail "nyyiiiiieeeeuuuururrrrrrr ..... nyyiieerrrrrerrreeeiiiiier!" I think one of my neighbours must've taken up carpentry or wood sculpture to pass the time. And that doesn't count the hedge trimmers and lawn mowers all going off. I can hear one right now, it sounds like a sodding chainsaw! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE?!

Why can no one just enjoy their garden? *cries*

 

Get screens, they'll keep the chips out. Or at least ask them to angle the chipper away from your bedroom.

 

Yes but still the branches could burst through the screen like in Poltergeist and pick you up to drag you into the hungry maw of the tree.

 

TMW you get multiple food cravings after the shops have shut for the day.

 

How bizarre are the food cravings? Pickles with ice-cream? Tuna and peanut butter sandwich? I'm looking at YOU Mr. @Cave Troll ! Now i see why you proposed...

 

Not unless he sent me a very unusual (and I suspect prohibited) present via an aircraft.
And as we're on the subject, I did the proposing.

 

With due respect, you could just ask them what they're doing.

 

TMW the engagement ring that was going to arrive in August is now due to be delivered on the 12th June.

 

TMW you had to fix so many dang typos in that post (did I have a stroke?) that you just end up deleting the original (now with a mile long list of edits) and reposting the now-parsible version.

Jeez...

 

That blissful moment when your characters have met the antagonist but haven't realised that he's the antagonist yet.

Also that moment when your protagonist isn't with them because he's currently tied to his bed, which is in a completely different universe. Because he's already wandered off in a drug induced stupor once and they don't want to lose him again.
