Yeah, my sister bought me the DVD Boxed set a few years ago for Christmas as I was a HUGE Daria fan growing up. I was a little disappointed that all the late 90s/early aughts music was gone and it was replaces by generic “pop punk” sounding music.
Still one of my comfort shows though, and the only reason I can still say I’m “using DVDs” in 2024 😂
I’m actually about to get ICL surgery to correct mine in July @ 35 years old. Pretty stoked to not have to use glasses anymore. Though from what I’ve been told, it will make those of us who get ICLs more susceptible to early cataracts (like 60 years old or so versus 75, as we all will eventually get cataracts if we live long enough), and I’ll need a second surgery at that point for better lenses. But if I’m going to eventually need that surgery anyway to remove a cataract, then what’s it matter?
She was a stray we picked up back in 2016, and all of these 8 years later, I’ve never gotten a blep pic! Meanwhile, two days with the boarder…
I will pass along that you think she’s a good girl! (I in fact refer to her as a terror constantly)
That…is the cutest cotton ball I’ve ever seen. Homigod.
Omg I love her! She’s so cute! Thank you for taking care of her!!!
I saw this for the first time in Brussels! Our Airbnb host got a kick over how enthralled 3 American women were over the idea of a lawn roomba 😂.
Ugh. Man. What a fucking throwback to 10 years ago.
I feel this so hard. I fucking see you. I’m very much a extrovert. I enjoy going out and doing things with people MUCH more than I do being at home. I get hype when I get to plan something, whether that’s at my house for a D&D session or out and about around town (or even vacations). I’m also a “more the merrier type”, which means everyone is invited and I’ll genuinely talk to you/make sure no one is left out. I just like people.
But after a certain amount of times being stood-up/flaked on in the final hours, I stop with the invites. I stop asking for people’s opinions on if they want to do things with me. I stop planning. And I just kinda disconnect from people.
I’ve had introverted coworkers and associates tell me “I like to be invited, I just don’t always like to go. But I want to be included.”
But bruh, it hurts my feelings too when I get so excited to hang with everyone and you bail regularly. Clearly at some point I have to accept that I’m just not your cup of tea, and you’re prioritizing other things. That’s okay, but it doesn’t mean I have to accept continuously being knocked down by you because of it.
Imma take a stab in the dark and say that you’re your friend groups “planner” friend as well. It’s really fucking frustrating to try and plan something as simple as a dinner that requires reservations, and people are like “Um. Uh. Maybe I’ll come, idk”, up until the last minute. Or even a headcount for food being served at your house.
I do contemplate the merits of having a home phone with the ringer perpetually on silent, and that being the only number I give out to places like Spirit Halloween whereas family/friends get the cell.
Anti Vaxers out here tryna play Modern Day Oregon Trail. Poor little Susie is gonna have a real bad time when she catches meastussisumption.
Man, OPs caption unlocked a core memory I have of calling my high school boyfriend at 858 pm, and talking on the phone with him for about 2.5 hours before he got notified that he was under 10 mins left for the month.
We had thought he was only going to lose 2 of his minutes 😭.
Huh. I didn’t know Brooklyn meant that. 5 year old me was definitely a fan of naming my Barbies “Brook”, so I’ve suffered a lack of taste since the beginning it seems 😂
Haha bruh that’s aight. I’m actually a treasure trove of traits to make fun of!
Fortunately I’m child-free so no human ever has to bear the weight of my creative naming conventions…only my D&D/RP/Video Game characters have to suffer.
Ngl, I find some of these Hella cute. But I’m also someone who loves creative/unique names (to a point). I don’t like offensive/obvious sponsorship/stupid joke names (the infamous “Ladasha” spelled “La-A” or “Absidy” spelled “ABCDE”)
But I think Rocklyn and Brexleigh are adorable names for little girls! I’d probably spell it Brexley though.
Then again, when I was growing up I liked the name "Huxley’ as a gender-neutral name for a future child, so, do with that what you will
Psh, Imma say you grew up to be even cuter!
OPs reaction is how I envision my parents reacted to my birth:
“Oh she’s so shiny and new and still has the packaging on! She’s so smooth and quiet!”
Little did they know the busted, loud, dirty ho I would one day become.
Her child will definitely not run and hide from the doorbell/door knockers like the rest of us 😂
That planner knew what they were doing
I read this in Grog’s voice and I high key love it. The idea of him describing “surface level themes such as nationalism” is hilarious.
And the title comment is the icing on the cake.
