Poor life choices! I just had coffee with a friend - not just my second cup of the day (which is usually my last) but a third cup too. Now a little jittery. But, otoh, I had a great time with him and stayed away from the office for an hour, so I guess it's good to have the coffee to keep me awake until I can go home!

Suggestion for an alternate title: TGIF!

I'm very happy (maybe "relieved" is a better word) it's Friday, but also feeling veeeeeery overwhelmed by everything I have to do this weekend. I basically have deadlines for 5 different (non work-related) things on Tuesday, one of which I forgot about and requires 8 hours of tv watching (a new Netflix show that comes out on Thursday and I have to watch and review before then), so mostly this Friday afternoon I'm telling myself to breathe.

How are you guys going to spend the weekend?

Would it work with this account? It's a little strange - I found out at some point that I have two IntenseDebate accounts, one free-standing one and one linked to my Wordpress.

I was about to suggest this! There's less sound to begin with because you don't keep moving it back and forth, and the sound of the motor helps too.

I have a friend with misophonia. I only have it with a single sound, thankfully (someone brushing their teeth close to me), so that's easy enough to avoid.

This may be more advanced, but I read Frankenstein for a college class and it really completely changed the way I looked at it: I thought it was boring at first but then found out it was fascinating.

I read Jane Eyre for the same class, and you can look at that from a bunch of different angles too.

It is so amazing. I was hooked from the Mrs. Dalloway ref she start with!

I never thought I'd have any. Then I got in a great relationship and entered my late twenties and started feeling a little ambivalent. But my partner does not want kids, and my desire for offspring never rose above "maybe? just one?" we decided to not have any kids.

I did have to push for a discussion (my partner was just fine at just leaving it at "uuuuuh.... Not right now anyway!" and running in the opposite direction), since I was sure about one thing: I wanted it to be an actual decision, not something that happened due to not deciding.
