obviously everything is determined, but because the determination is so complicated and essentially impossible to know, functionally it isn't determined.

I am not happy. my stomach hurts but I am also about to go for a run and I lost my headband so my forehead is going to get cold. however I found my rosary (I lost it when I moved, or so I thought), so tonight I will pray with it, so I have that to which I will look forward.

EccoRaven posted:gently caress me. hello ok so I had two 1/2 cups of coffee today waiting for my scooter to get fixed and 2 1/2 cups less than that of water, and so when I went running today I nearly passed out from dehydration. whoops!! I then took a shower and immediately went to pub trivia with my friends (4th place!), and now I am back home and ready for chill hanging out. I also had two (2) pints of beer before my food came woo (the food was a hazlenut veggie burger with tomato jam, I get it every week and part of me wants to try something else but it's seriously so good) also ##extend also ##lovevote cckeane, ##lovevote bottleknight, ##lovevote asiina, ##lovevote quidnose  , ##lovevote meinberg, and though he's not in the game, ##lovevote ixtlilton for holding me accountable for running today (even if in practice I died irl for the second day in a row)also storytime: during pub trivia there's lightning rounds where you come up to the quizmaster and whoever can write the answer to his question first wins a $5 coupon for dinner. I am the representative for my team who does these questions, and having done it every week for months now I've come to recognize most of the regulars. (one of them is actually a friend's ex-boyfriend from college [the same friend who got me the rosary!], which is especially weird since we're on the wrong coast. I did a massive double take when I saw him wearing a baseball cap from my alma mater.) Anyway, there is this one regular - we will call her Cathy - the night I first recognized her from previous weeks was the night she got all six lightning rounds in a row, a few times beating me by a split second. she was super snotty about it too! From then on she was my Rival; I'd see her every week and ostensibly we did the lightning rounds for the coupons, but in truth it became about one-upping each other, with raspberries for the loser. but as familiarity often does, we got to talking and sharing stories, learning more about each other, where we're from, what we do. I met the rest of her team (her boyfriend is from my home state!) and she met the rest of mine. eventually the rivalry softened to playful competition, and a few weeks ago we started an "intelligence exchange" where we each trade for an answer the other didn't know. finally the trading turned into full sharing of answers, and as of tonight we have agreed to merge our two teams and become unstoppable trivia juggernauts. new friend get!

A BOON HAS APPEARED
|
my family's first dog was a lab named Flo, and the second was a retriever named Rosie. we got both dogs either before I was born or very shortly after, and they died when I was still too young to understand why. But the third was a bichon named Brigette. We got her when I was 11 when she was something like a week old. She very quickly became as much a part of the family as anyone else. She was fussy and neurotic and would bark for hours when we all left the house. she had a really tiny trachea so she would often get so excited she would get out of breath and hack and cough. She peed and pooped in the house more regularly than she should have (we only left her alone in the house for about 4 hours in the middle of the day and yet). she broke her leg when she was very young and had to have staples put on her thigh to help it heal, and so she learned how to pee by lifting up her leg (which confused man and dog alike). we never brushed her so her hair would form these thick white mats. when I went off to college she was very sad, but whenever I'd come home she would be so happy she'd literally pee herself (the first time this happened I wasn't expecting it, so it was all over my arms and chest). she would do this thing where, if I ever had the door to my room closed, she'd run up and scratch and bark at it. I'd open my door and she'd rush in, circle the floor a few times, then jump onto my bed. She'd lie there for a few minutes, then get down and leave, but if I ever closed the door again she'd repeat the process. she occasionally slept on my bed, but she didn't like being hugged, so always at the foot. she was my best friend for a decade. she had some kind of sudden heart failure at 10 years old and passed away. it was a week before my college graduation. it was very rude.

Quidnose posted:NEW FRIEND GETS ARE LIVE People often wonder why I am so neurotic about my personal identity with internet people, and why I make up elaborate (and often contradictory) personas to avoid piecing together a picture of who I am. Partially it's because I think it's funny, and partially it's because I like seeing how information travels through communities and how certain ideas ebb and flow (for instance most people use "she" for me these days, which normally it would last a few months before "he" comes back in vogue but "she" has sustained itself for a while now, which is interesting). But the main reason is because I was once part of another internet community, during my tumultuous adolescence, and I got really intensely close to them. I met them (online) before I had fully come out of my shell socially, and for a while they were essentially my only friends (and my closest ones for even longer than that). I would come home from school and immediately log onto IRC (if I hadn't let my computer idle all day anyway!). I would stay up until the wee AM hours just sitting in front of my computer talking to them, neglecting homework, real life friends, my own family. the community was large enough and there were enough of them in enough places across the world that at any hour of the day there'd always be a few new people to talk to, and I didn't want to ever sign off because they were my only friends, why would I want to leave them? It was super unhealthy, and being a basement dwelling shut-in made the few relationships I did make irl that much harder to sustain. what made it even worse though was how many of them were also broken, toxic people (many of them in their 20s and 30s). Probably the worst was a faux-literati and child-hungry pedophile who had a fascination for me and my internet S/O (we were like 13 or 14 at the time). he was a real piece of work. I had a really nasty nervous breakdown my junior year of high school, and a huge part of it was realizing how totally messed up this lifestyle was for almost every aspect of my life and how it was destroying me from the inside out. being an emotional and broken teenager I lashed out at them, as if it was their faults, and they very reasonably lashed back, and I very angrily ragequit from the entire community and unplugged myself from the internet for a few months. I began the process of slowly and tedious rebuilding my entire life from the ground up, crawling and clawing myself out of the pit I had dug for myself, inch by painful inch. by the end of senior year I was finally at a good place emotionally, mentally, socially, academically, and spiritually, and I graduated high school vowing to never become part of an internet community ever again.  many of you seem great. don't get me wrong! you seem like totally swell people who aren't child-hungry pedophiles or emotionally-manipulative monsters. honest. But CCKeane is just something else. He is such a genuinely kind human being; I honestly can't recall him ever saying anything bad about anyone in our community (who didn't have it coming). He has a really solid head on his shoulders, too: he used to work for a place that was (not even technically) breaking the law, and he agonized over what to do about it. IIRC in the end he quit, got a new job, and anonymously reported his old employers to the (FBI?). It was really flipping noble. And he's so funny! He played in some game recently where he was vanilla town but pretended to be a spooky ghost the entire time, never breaking character, and I was just absolutely dying irl. And I was the mod!!! He is unambiguously my favorite person in this community of ours, and a few years ago, when I was visiting friends in NYC, he offered to hang out with me for an evening. I want to say I deliberated for a long time, debating whether it was worth bringing internet people back into my heart by having them actually meet me, see me, speak with me. I want to say that. But I didn't! I didn't even hesitate. "Yes, definitely, I would love to meet with you." We got pizza and beer and cocktails. He is everything in real life he is online, perhaps even better. So many people have met him and can testify to how truly awesome he is. He is definitely the best of us, living proof that wholly wonderful human being exist in the world and can excel in it. In conclusion, I knew some hosed up people in my youth and they messed me the heck up for years to come. But Keane? Well, Keane, he's not just a piece of work. He's a work of art.  ...or so I want you to believe. vOv

EccoRaven posted:however I found my rosary (I lost it when I moved, or so I thought), so tonight I will pray with it, so I have that to which I will look forward. one final story from ecco t. raven for tonight! so every night before going to bed I pray the compline, a series of catholic prayers which are part of the larger Liturgy of the Hours (also called the Divine Office). They were first developed in the 4th century AD by hermits and they have been a hallmark of the faithful ever since. I got into the habit of praying the hours after spending a time living and working with Franciscan monks and nuns, since they (as well as priests and deacons) are obligated to pray the major hours every day. The compline is my favorite hour because the final benediction is "may the all-powerful Lord grant us a restful night and a peaceful death," which is pretty hardcore (though to be fair the Latin translates better as "perfect end," which is still quite nice). After the benediction the last thing you do is recite a Marian antiphon; I've been alternating each night between Ave Maria and Salve Regina, which is okay, but I always wanted to incorporate the best Marian prayer-style - the rosary - into that system. And now I finally can! It is really neat. When you pray the rosary you're supposed to meditate on the mysteries of the Gospel, like the Nativity or the Crucifixion, but I really don't. It's pretty selfish but I usually think about myself. I review my day, the things I had said and done, the things I didn't say or didn't do. I think about the times when I felt like the right thing to do was clear but I couldn't get myself to do it through laziness or selfishness or envy; the times I snapped at people or ignored them for no reason other than because I was irritable or frustrated at something else; the times I've failed to see Christ in strangers, in the homeless, even in my friends and family. Recently I've also been praying for a friend who especially needs it. It's a very peaceful and humbling experience, but until today it's mostly been a "if I have the time/motivation" thing. finding my beads after having them missing for a year is really just marvelous and I am excited to see what new depths of catholic guilt I can bring myself to in the coming days and weeks.
