Lore Drop

Tagged by nobody in particular, I just like memes.

Do you make your bed?

Yes, it looks nicer that way.

Favourite number?

I've been told it's 7.

What's your job?

I listen to people's problems, try to help and sometimes fix things.

If you could go back to school, would you?

Sure, I'd consider a Master's. Not sure I'd be up for a PhD at thos point in time. I'm eyeing up a diploma. We don't stop learning in medicine.

Can you parallel park?

I'm pretty good at it, actually. I hate bay parking in tight spots, though. My old car didn't have any parking assistance so I learned the old fashioned way. And my current car's alarm is too sensitive for my tastes.

Do you think aliens are real?

Statistically, there is probably life put there somewhere.

Can you drive a manual car?

I've only recently converted to automatic cars, so i have something like a decade's experience with manual cars. It's less stressful in traffic but I feel like I have less direct control when I'm doing manoeuvres.

What's your guilty pleasure?

I don't think simple pleasures should make people feel guilt. That said I've been busy for so long that just taking it easy and letting myself have a mental health day being unproductive feels like a guilty pleasure. Dx Dude has to remind me that I'm allowed to just do nothing on a day off.

Tattoos?

None yet, maybe one day. I feel like I would get a cat tattoo if or when that happens.

Favourite colour?

Red.

Do you like puzzles?

Yes. But I have a lot less patience than I used to. I'm just mentally tired a lot of the time.

Any phobias?

Not officially. But the idea of going on a very large boat or being in a locked space makes me uncomfortable, and I can thank watching Titanic for that, I think.

Favourite childhood sport?

Benchball? Gymnastics? I can't remember which sports I liked the most as a kid.

Do you talk to yourself?

I think out loud all the time. Having a cat around makes it more socially acceptable.

Soft asks - 2, 7, 17!

2. What’s your feel-good movie?

I’m not a big movie person, so I usually watch Brooklyn99 whenever I need a little pick me up, but I do love watching Stardust over and over again

7. What color brings you peace?

Any shade of blue/green that counts as a sea color- spent most of my life living by the sea, I miss that

17. Fairy lights or LED lights?

Oh fairy lights for sure! They’re alllll over my apartment. I just like the soft glow so much better than LED lights

Hey Wil, saw your tags on the LGBT flag link; I was curious if you like the aesthetics of the one you'd mentioned, or if you feel like that's something that's resonated with you and/or a family member? (Apologies if this is too personal a question; I know a lot of folks look to celebs for representation, however minor it may be.)

I’m a cisgender, white, heterosexual male who is doing his best to be an ally and make sure that all my brothers and sisters in the LGBTQA community know that I see them, I love them, and I’m using the tremendous privilege I have to fight for them whenever I get the chance.

Sharing that post is a tiny thing that probably won’t make much of a difference in the world, but I’m hopeful that someone whose identity is represented in those flags will see it and feel a little less alone, and a little more empowered.

@mursejesse Yeah, when we met I found you very attractive... and then I got to know you and heard your Gonzo and knew you were the weirdo for me.

shes only your girl because she hasnt heard my kermit thee frog impression yet

1. If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time? 2. What’s your favorite piece of clothing you’ve own/owned?

1. Read, draw, play games  - I have a lot of hobbies that aren’t exactly social, which means I always have ways to fill my time, provided I have the energy. If my loved ones also didn’t need to sleep, I could spend more time with them.

2. I actually delayed answering this ask because I wasn’t sure what to pick. I love the pink tulle midi dress that I wore to my graduation party - it has a black lacy middle section and it made me feel very pretty - in a way few things do. But I also have lots of clothes I wear more often that I’m particularly fond of  - like several of my pocketed skirts.

@mursejesse It gets hard reading my blog twice when I go to yours and you've reblogged my spam reblogging jk

@mursejesse this is me and Sterling. Adore my boy. And he adores head kisses. He is also a terror.

while kissing my cat's little head: you're a problem *smooch* you're a terror *smooch* you're a menace to society *smooch smooch smooch*

5 things.

I was tagged by my lovely friend, @somethingwendythiswaycomes to post 5 things I like about myself. Here goes!!

1. I like how empathetic I am. I'm able to pick up on people's emotions and feelings without them telling me. It helps me immensely in my work life with my patients, as well as my personal life with friends and family.

2. I like how quickly I'm able to pick up on new skills. For the most part I can see something done once or twice, and I'm good to go.

3. I like how quick of a thinker I am, especially in ridiculously stressful situations. #NurseLife 😂

4. I like that I'm able to have conversations with just about anyone. I can meet a total stranger, and have a genuine conversation with them.

5. I loooove how much of an animal person I am. I bond incredibly easily with animals, even the not so social ones. I've been this way since as long as I can remember. This is easily one of my favorite things about myself.

I tag... @mursejesse @nursebrett @car-one-responding @defibforvfib @thisisblizzard

Pathfinder...

I am playing in two different Pathfinder games each week.  

The first game is the one I’ve been playing in on Tuesday evenings.  The group is a pretty standard set-up, though we’ve all managed to make some interesting characters.  The GM is running the Ironfang Invasion Adventure Path.   While we’re a disparate group, we’re all experienced players.  Our characters are, individually, kind of wacky and motivated by totally different things but at the end of the day we all work really well together.  We basically roll through most encounters like a well oiled machine.  That’s not to say we don’t take damage, or that encounters aren’t challenging - in fact, one of our number has died and been reincarnated.  My character, an Oracle, nearly died very recently.  But we’re 11th level, and all our wacky powers and magic items feel hard earned and totally deserved.

The second game has just started.  It’s with a group of friends who live far from each other - so we’re running it via discord/roll20.  Most of the group are new to Pathfinder, and their characters are ... wacky in a totally unintentional way.  I am playing the healer again (a straight Cleric) and tonight, one of the newest players was playing with her spells, creating a distraction before a combat began.  One of the players who actually knows the system decided to start the combat while I and our main fighter were over 300 feet away.  So... 4 rounds of just... waiting to enter combat.   It’s really making me appreciate my Tuesday night game.  So... thanks @thornbound and @mursejesse for being awesome.

While I know you're not really into cosplay, a proposal for just in case: Wil Wheatley. I'm not sure if it's just you carrying a white ball with a blue light doing Wheatley's voice, or the personality core with Crusher's red/yellow/blue stripe scheme.

MASHYSPIKEPLATES!

Pride And Prejudice asks: Mr Gardiner and Caroline Bingley

mr. gardiner: have you ever rescued someone from a dire situation?Hmm, I’m assuming medicine doesn’t count? Cos then it’d be too easy!I did get my sister and her friends out of the mosh pit when we were at a concert - it got a bit rowdy and they all kept going under and nearly getting trampled. These girls are all taller than me and some of them do martial arts, but my tiny ass was in there, picking them up, trying not to go under and getting them out of the fray. My mum and I did also save my lil brother from nearly drowning  (I mean we could have all drowned but he didn’t really know how to swim because he was a little kid and we did), but that’s a traumatic memory. The fear that someone helpless and relying on you might die on your watch is so consuming that the fear of that was much greater than dying itself. I feared dying because I feared that he’d drown if I did. I don’t know what parenthood is like, or if I’ll ever experience it, but I imagine it’s like that. caroline bingley: have you ever interfered in a burgeoning relationship? why?Nah. I don’t really interfere - it’s not my place. I get asked for advice often, but I don’t think a friend’s role is to make the decision - it’s to help you reflect on what’s going on until you feel better about making that decision yourself. I give advice when it’s asked, but I try to stay on topic. When one of my friends would get a rubbish boyfriend, some of her friends would get defensive. One of them even went up to him to have a go at him at my friend’s brithday party. But that just caused more trouble for my friend, who’d then apologise etc. She’d still break up with them, but much later, when she was ready. So really, all that drama did nothing. When you give advice, you have to answer the question they’ve asked. I’ve put aside advice that was well meaning but not applicable to my situation for that reason - based on my own knowledge and interpreations of what was on my mind, the advice wasn’t relevant. Because it wasn’t what I had asked for advice for. If your friend isn’t asking ‘should I leave them’, then don’t spend the entire time trying to make them do that - it’s just not an option they are considering, and your advice won’t be useful if they feel it doesn’t yet apply to them.

It’s also worth remembering that not everything is a dealbreaker for everyone - what might be unacceptable for you might be something that another person wants - for example, how fast someone wants a relationship to progress, or whether they want kids, or how physically affectionate someone is. I’d find it creepy if my partner was too ‘hands on’ in public, and it’d probably make me feel a little objectified because they would look like they were being posessive.  But someone else might enjoy that or even need it to feel attractive, and they might find me and my Guys more reserved approach to PDAs kind of stand offish.  Some of my friends get antsy if a relationship isn’t on a rollercoaster, but  I can’t imagine wanting to rush through the stages. Before you try to break a friend up, remember that it really can be different strokes for different folks. Now, you can explore how someone feels, and then if they reveal things aren’t great, by all means be supportive! It may even be appropriate to re-iterate that the partner in question is being a douchebag. I tend to focus on the behaviour of the other party - if their behaviour isn’t kind, or honest, or helpful etc, rather than attack the other person. Because what you want to do is support your friend and affirm to them that X behaviour was unhelpful or toxic. But you don’t want them to eel like they have to defend the other party to you because you’re getting overinvolved or dramatic. Since they are struggling enough, they don’t need your reaction to be another burden Mostly, I ask people how it all makes them feel and take it from there. For example when my friend was deciding whether to divorce, I absolutely didn’t want that decision in my hands - they very specifically had to lay the facts out and ask me if I would get a divorce under those circumstances to get me to give a more forthright opinion. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t raise things you feel are red flags. It’s absolutely fair to be honest that someone’s behaviour sucks or you think they might not be compatible.  But rather that the impetus to make a decision can’t come from you. And that telling a friend to dump someone because of something relatively minor will almost certainly achieve nothing.

Okay, so I've got burlesque lessons set up. I've got Kung fu lessons set up. Talking to a yoga teacher and an Aerial silks teacher. Plan to restart belly dancing next session.. Also a music teacher, who says he can teach ukulele.

Have work shops for glass blowing and mosaics.

Want to go back to the gym and B swears he can clear room for pilates and yoga at home daily.

So I think I'm full up on classes. There are others I want to eventually take -- I'm thinking singing, acting, pole dancing, ballet, pottery wheel, and maybe painting. Oh and piano.

But workshops... I can decorate my own pottery, like carving designs in. I can paint already made pottery. I can do paintings (they use stiff paper though, and I prefer canvas -- wonder if they'd let me bring my own canvases), metal sculpture. Most I'd want to take fairly regularly -- like I have an idea for 9 of the mosaic tiles I'll be doing. Pottery would be cool to do an entire set, which would take forever but still. Paintings... hell I have too many already and I'm not very good but it'd still be cool to do lots. Metal sculpture all over would be neat now that the kids are old enough. So would glass objects.

Theres also blowing your own barwear. I dont really drink but I love barwear, so maybe.

And yes, @mursejesse plants everywhere. Thinking I'm going to build tiny dollhouses (you can look them up on Amazon, they're like the size of a dollhouse room, but a full scene, and orgone pyramids and just place them around the plants and swear it's for fairies and shit, bc I love the weirdness of that idea. My family will find it bizarre, but they find half my shit bizarre.)
