It's more fun, and mostly harmless, to believe these kinds of little stories happened. Life's more interesting that way.

Definitely travel. It would've been nice to be able to get out of the states for a few weeks before I had all of the responsibilities that come with a full-time job, folks depending on me, a whole-ass flock of birds, etc etc.

My goal is now to (hopefully) travel before I'm 40 (currently 34, 35 in October). I'd like to hit up the UK (I've got a good friend there) and Japan (I'm a huge weeb), if possible.

My advice to the youngins out there: If you've got the means, definitely do a bit of travel between either highschool and college or college and a full-time job.

Ayyy, sleep deprivation buddy! I've been up since 5 AM and feel like absolute death. :)

I think Bowser's a little busy being the president of Nintendo of America.

God, I can smell the chlorine in this image.

The manga ended at least a year or so ago. The ending was... certainly an ending, yep.

God, as someone who loves birds, this is heartbreaking. :(

Arby's curly fries are peak fast food fries.

God that looks cool, definitely not what I expected from the title. I love the mixture of old and new.

What was it like? Looks like the kind of place that was absolutely buzzing with activity; chaotic, but in a good way.

Honestly? Mcdonalds. They're (reasonably) cheap, pretty consistent, and still decent enough that I think "Yeah, I didn't mind spending two bucks on that."

Like it's not the best food ever or anything, but if I ever want a super quick breakfast or kinda crappy burger and don't feel like making one myself, then I just hit up the nearest Mcdonalds.

oh my god, UO was my fucking JAM; super psyched to give this a shot.

Yep, they're gonna ignore this study and all this research just like the rest of it. :(
