Hiya, Fluffsters!

For those of you who don’t know, I love socks. Especially brightly colored extremely clashy socks.

(Yes, I was the one who slightly cried inside when my obnoxious semi-metallic rainbow toe-socks with 3d-puff-paint-smiley-faces developed hols that made them unwearable.)

And one of the reasons I really like socks, besides the fact that they’re bright and chipper, is that it makes everything you wear look intentional.

Are you wearing stripes with polka-dots? well, that’s typically bad.

However, if you throw on a pair of hot-pink knee-highs, suddenly it becomes a “fashion statement.” Yes, the fashion statement might still be clashing. But at least it looks intentional.

And this way, even if you’re not aware of what sort of fashion statement you’re (accidentally) making, it still looks like your own personal style. Because you’re just that cool.

So, have fun! Get some delightful socks! ENjoy your knee-highs!

And have a great Tuesday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

I don’t have much experience with this, but it seems to me as though worldbuilding a secret society into a fictional world (whether a book, movie, TV show, or any sort of fiction) should be a fun way of keeping stories going. After all, since they’re secret, you can have pretty much an unlimited number of secret societies. So, you destroy the first evil secret society? Scene-change to the second secret society that’s behind the first! And on!

And you can get away with it, because theoretically the society is secret. And if it’s secret, nobody knows it exists… until it is revealed.

Yup. They seem like a fun plot device.

Happy Sunday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So… I had a slightly awkward time last night. (Nothing serious.)

Ok, so, as I mentioned, I’m currently hyper-busy. I’m at a conference-y thing that’s really more like a summer camp, except they only randomly provide food.

This means that I’m responsible for my meals.

Well, the thingy is being held in a nice town with lots of food options. So I ended up deciding to go out for dinner tonight. Someone I met at the thing joined me.

We went to a fun place (“Noodles”!) that I went to on Monday. That was the fun part.

The awkward thing is that I apparently said something that falsely implied I’d never been there before. (Woops.)

So the guy was explaining things to me. And mentioned to the employees that it was “my first time” (it wasn’t.)

I never did end up correcting him… there were no advantages or disadvantages to being a first timer, so nobody got hurt…

What are your thoughts about situations like this?

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, there’s a list of “cute / beautiful towns in Pennsylvania” and I looked at it randomly. (Multiple friends on Facebook shared it.)

What I found interesting were some of the names. I mean, seriously. One of them is “Jim Thorpe.” That… has to have a story.

Or even the first one, “Lititz.” How does that name get formed?

I guess this is not specific to Pennsylvania, but is a more general “name thing”. But this provided yet another time to comment on it, so I took advantage of it.

Have a great day!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Someone shared a funny “article” personifying the different states of the USA. It gives a description of what person each state of the USA would be in a bar.

Have a great Wednesday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

I think I’ve ranted about this before, and I’m sure I’ll complain about it again, but… why is it so difficult to go to bed when you’re really tired?

For the past few nights, I’ve been pointlessly procrastinating for a while before going to bed, because I’m too tired to want to stop. Which is silly, because if I went to bed, I’d get less tired.

Hmpf.

So, that’s been my past few nights. How about you? Does that ever happen for you?
