More British words because I thought words like carboot and bin lorry was normal:

Chuffed: This is when we're really happy- like 2am-singing-karaoke-happy. Odd I know!

Brolly: Umbrella. Yeah this one's a bit odd as well. I've never used it personally but some of my family always say "chuck us the brolly" or something along those lines.

Crisps: Potato chips. American's PLEASE don't kill me I want to live

Bucketin' down: A term used to describe heavy rain!

Gutted: Extremely disappointed. I often use this- very loudly, might I add- to the annoyance of my family

Bonnet: Hood of a car. I find this REALLY strange and have never used it myself.

So there's some British words! I hope you enjoyed them!🙂

REMINDS ME, another thing that was wild to me was how "chippy" gets applied to way more than just places that sell fries

I went thinking I understood everything, like, "Ok. Chips = Fries. Crisps = Potato Chips. Got it." But then partner would say, "wanna go to a chippy"

Me in my head: (wow you really like fries dont ya)

But apparently the truth is... that's just what they were calling a small restaurant you don't sit down at. Like a takeout place. A chippy can sell chinese food. A chippy can sell fries and hot dogs.

This took me an embarassingly long time to realize. I really just thought partner wanted fries constantly. I was beginning to believe there were special, hidden fry places that I just wasn't noticing.

I also found out that "spanner" is unironically a light insult but considering the fact I thought they were a Fanatical Fry Fiend for at least a week I probably deserved it. I WAS being a proper spanner.

The hardest thing about adulthood is not working a job or trying to stay within my financial budget. It's actually trying to find recipes to cook all the spinach in my fridge before it goes bad.

happy 2024 my first meal of the year was Weird Leftovers :D homemade lefse (soft flat bread), that my mom made from a late viking age/early medieval recipe. stuffed full of smoked mackerel that our neighbor fished. eaten in bed. while continuously picking out fish bones. Truly an Experience

tfw i had to go into full hibernation mode in my brain to recover from my week and when i finally got the energy to write, it was suddenly midnight fucking thirty on technically-still-saturday-i-haven't-slept-yet-bitch.

the spirit is willing, the mind is ready, the body just flat out cannot keep up.

[vampiricsheep]

Ok im up too late again (needed to charge phone without frying it overnight) so goodnight friends ill see you tomorrow

you posted a selfie a few months ago and my first immediate thought was "oh no and she's hot too???" like yes, u are incredibly funny and an amazing writer and I adore all ur fics (especially Goon my beloved <3) and how delightful and heart wrenching and all the other adjectives ur post 8x06 fics have been (and were part of the reason I didn't immediately blacklist all 911 related tags in a fit of rage sadness and disappointment at the show lol) but my first immediate reaction to 'something you'd never say off anon' was that I need to take the opportunity to tell you ur hot in hopefully the least weird way possible 😂

Cheers to genetics!

(Hotness is a state of mind I sometimes occupy space in, believe you me when I tell you my online presence is curated, but I appreciate the compliment!)

I'm glad you stuck around for my five-stages-of-grief fic writing, I hope I can continue to impress!

tell me something on anon you'd never say off anon

I thought I had more stuff to make broth with than I do, so I've got exactly one shot at the soup lol.

Usually no big deal, but a handful of times I've managed to fuck the broth up to the point of being inedible and I still have no idea why since I didn't do anything different and none of the ingredients were expired...

Well, that's why I get the base broth all ready before I put in the more expensive stuff like the carrots or the meat. It sucks having to dump the broth when it's inedible but it's far better than ruining good chicken or carrots.
