Minor thing that makes me feel happily rebellious

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I’m not exactly a person who breaks rules or anything like that. I don’t like doing stuff that has a probability of (serious) negative consequences. But I also like being “my own person” and finding loopholes or doing things that are minorly “against the rules.”

One of the ways I commonly do that happens in public sink areas. In those places, there are frequently “pull paper towel with both hands” types of dispensers. (The instructions are there to try to prevent towels tearing needlessly.)

Well, I’ve become very proficient at getting a paper towel out in one piece… with one hand.

And every time I do so, it feels delightfully rebellious, nonconformist, and like my own unique person.

And that previous sentence makes me feel a bit redundant.

But whatever.

How about you? Are there any silly loopholes you take advantage of?

Have a lovely Thursday!

More Harry Potter Inspired Cool Stuff: CLOCKS!!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I just found out today that someone’s created a clock that’s inspired by Molly Weasley’s clock from the Harry Potter series.

It looks pretty cool, and I am very happy that somebody thought to use technology like that!

Have a lovely Tuesday!

Things to do on a First Day (part 1)

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, a number of people will be starting school up again. And so, I thought I’d go through some nice, general tips (or at least a tip) for things to do or not do on first days. Hopefully these tips will be applicable for more than just a single group.

Tip 1: Wear Clothes.

I cannot recommend this enough. It is very important that you wear clothes on your first day in a new social setting, especially if it pertains to normal social frameworks and stuff.

After all, garbage bags just don’t look right.

Good luck!

Minas Tirith might become real!!!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, this is (so far) being a fantastic week for the Fantasy-Aficionado in me. First, I found out that Muggle equivalents of Wizards Tents are real. Then, the day after that, I found out that some architects are… trying to build a life-sized Minas Tirith.

I really hope it gets funded, and that I can visit it at some point!!

Have a lovely weekend!

Berry bushes are surprisingly prolific

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, the place I’m staying right now has a raspberry bush. So I’ve been picking raspberries every day for the past few days. And it is amazing how much fruit fits into such a little thing. For the past few days now, I’ve been practically filling one of those “pint of blueberries” plastic container things. Seriously. And this is coming from one patch.

In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m a bit shocked by how much fits into those bushes.

Yup.

Anyway, have a great Thursday!

The Controversy Full of (Hot?) Air

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Yesterday saw some sad news. Apparently, Bubble-wrap is no longer guaranteed to pop nicely. In fact, the creators are apparently making bubble wrap that won’t pop. This is a very sad day.

Yes, they will apparently still be keeping the good ol’ original Bubble Wrap (which does pop) around, but with the creation of the new stuff, what are we to do? How will we know if what we’re ordering will be using the satisfying packing material, or if it will be the deceitful stuff that makes no noise? How are we to know what we are ordering? What have the makers done to us?

Anyways. Happy Friday.

Underwater Dancing

Greetings, readers!

There was apparently an underwater ballroom built in the 1800s. I really want one, now. The pictures are breathtaking, and I can only imagine what dancing under the water effects would have been like.

Even though your day will likely not include dancing in an underwater ballroom, I hope you have a great day.

It scares me that some people can do this to their hair…

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I recently encountered this video:

And I found it terrifying.

Not because of the way it looks. It’s certainly a unique style, and one I probably wouldn’t choose even if I had straight hair, but that’s not the scary part.

Nope. For me, the scary part is the thought of trying to do that to my hair. AAACK.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I have naturally curly hair. More accurately, naturally tangly hair. I legitimately braid it every. single. night. in order to ensure that it doesn’t spontaneously generate birds or something, since it would turn into a birds’ nest. (I’m actually fairly picky about who I let even touch my hair, since it tangles (or tangled) that badly…)

So the thought of deliberately adding tangles to my hair is just terrifying. (Yes, I have lost bobby-pins. And hair clips. And I’ve occasionally even needed to cut out the little hair spin-y thingies, because they get caught…)

So, yeah.

That’s not to say that I don’t do things with my hair, though. On the contrary, playing with my hair is one of my primary forms of stress-relief / procrastination-when-I’m-not-online / procrastination-when-I-am-online-and-want-to-look-for-new-braids. Especially when my hair’s longer.

And who knows? Maybe someday I’ll make a hair tutorial or something.

It probably won’t be quite so scary, though…

Anywho, happy Friday!

Rain “shoes”

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I’ve encountered a little “problem” recently. It’s been raining. Now, don’t get me wrong- I LOVE rain. It’s a lot of fun! But I don’t exactly have rainboots anymore. (I moved from Pennsylvania last summer, and the boots I had were cheap enough, old enough, unattractive enough, and bulky enough that they were more cost-effectively left there… So, no rainboots.) So I’ve been wearing rubbery flip-flops. Intentionally. Yes, my pair of rain shoes are flip-flops.

I think I’m not in Pennsylvania anymore…

Have a great day!
