Kiddo has been missing her siblings badly, so I conspired with older sister’s foster mom and we suprised them both with a sleepover. Her foster mom passed me a bag, then I picked older sister up from camp (she was sssoooo confused it was me and not her foster mom) and told her she was getting a sleepover, and then we were waiting for kiddo when she came home from camp. She got really excited and chattered all the way back to our place with her happiness over seeing V because (see non happy thread in a bit.)
We locked the front door and lied that the garage door was broken so they had to come around to the front. Thus when kiddo knocked to be let in older sister opened the door and all nonchalant went “Oh? Do you live here? So do I for the night!” Kiddo almost lost her mind with excitement.

Despite non-happy post, this made me melt from happiness just imagining Kiddo’s reaction.

I know that this is a minor thing with everything going on in the world. However, I started going back to school full-time (while working full-time) in January. I just got my letter that I got on the Dean’s List.

Cousin’s kid: (stands on the riverbank, at the shallowest part, singing loudly and slapping the water with an unbaited fishing rod)
Other cousin, her aunt: “You will never catch a fish that way.”

Cousin’s kid: (catches a pike almost as long as she is, needs help landing monster fish)

After nearly 26 years of off-and-on struggle with college — and a whole list of unresolved mental health issues going on at the same time, beginning with my biological mother’s death and the subsequent mixed family drama almost a year after that — I am, today, August 1 2025, officially in possession of a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. (Today is my conferral date.)
It’s been a long road.

With the 8000000 spiders born here in the past month, that’s going to be one mighty busy spider-vac.

Sucks up bugs, any size! Catches them, just like flies!
Look out, here comes a Spider-Vaaaac! ~ -

KPop Demon Hunters.
Game when?
-
@Snackness NOT SOON ENOUGH
-
@Snackness I call dibs on having a tiger-cat-thing minion.
-
I don’t know anything about K-POP Demon Hunters, but my question is what the (MU*) rules for the K-POP idols are, because don’t idols have certain restrictions in their contracts irl?

I would come out of retirement for this.

After a long time of patience and effort, my physical degree was sent to me in the mail, and my happiness is immeasurable.
It hangs on my wall over my desk, right next to a framed autograph of Jeffrey Coombs, because the frames match and I am not being monitored adequately.
