More things - OTD: An Affliction
I enjoyed the Seven Things meme so much, I’ve decided to continue sharing my oddities with all of you. You all know about OCD. I’ll probably do a “More things” post about my as-of-yet-undiagnosed OCD at some point in the future, but tonight I’m here to talk to you about something different, yet similar. I have OTD. Obsessive Twitter Disorder. OTD is an affliction. The...
On Twitter and Community (oh, and unicorndogs)
An excerpt. Read the whole thing; it’s fantastic.
luckyshirt:
I started using twitter the way most of us did: I floated around for awhile and started following people with similar interests or senses of humor. Even in this passive mode Twitter began to demonstrate its usefulness. I wasn’t just learning what people had to say about their day, I was learning at some level what it was like...

April 15th, 1995

More things - Ketchup cups
I enjoyed the Seven Things meme so much, I’ve decided to continue sharing my oddities with all of you. They’ll probably come one at a time instead of all together.

– Wikipedia: Roman Calendar
I was researching why September, October, November, and December were our 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th months respectively, when seemingly they should be 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th based on their roots words of Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.
That lead me to the Wikipedia page for the...

Seven Things (you [probably] don't know about me)
I was tagged by @Jessabelle2o7 and indirectly by @zolora (who tagged, um, everyone in general). So here it goes. This turned out longer than expected… here are (roughly) seven things you don’t know about me. 1) I have been 100% sober for 29 years. That’s right, my entire life. I’ve never had more than a sip of beer; my dad probably gave me a taste of whisky when I was...
They can't all be funny.
Life has become frustrating.
I need something to look forward to.
