victimless crimes
Nov. 25th, 2017 07:16 pmSam was wearing a forest green cloak, horned owl slippers, and an pendant that she says is a mineral that starts with A and is definitely not quartz but might actually be quartz. I thought of alexandrite, although alexandrite is pleochroic and not iridescent, and that reminds Emily and Lauren of Steven Universe.
Emily thinks the CEO dresses like a janitor because it's a startup. What the startup does, Sam doesn't know. That sounds like a startup to me.
Lauren, Emily, Sam, and I were playing Apples to Apples. It's better than playing with 3 people, at least. Or playing with only two people, in which it's an anti-game in which you'll always win the round by default and win the game by convincing your opponent that it's stupid to play it with only two people when you have more green cards and can only be enjoyed by the same people who enjoy playing as healers in mmorpgs.
She had two trump cards: The Dark Ages and Ding-Dongs, which she never got to use. Ding-Dongs is an automatic winner, unless the prompt is "unmemorable" or something. A ding-dong is a cream-filled chocolate cake. Get your mind out of the gutter.
I feel like enraged baboons is the same way. Unless it's "irrelevant," in which case, I put down Simon Cowell. I put "your ex" for nippy (as in cold, not as in bitey) and Henry Ford for portly or a similar word that means the same thing even though I don't actually know what he looks like.
I thought they had Settlers of Catan too because I remember them wanting to play it last year. They do have Candyland. I told them about Evil Candyland but couldn't quite remember the rules.
There's a game in which you have to write something down about some prompt and someone else has to guess who wrote everything.
Emily knows a lot of people named Jessica and says that Emily's remained a common name for a while. I think that Sarah/Sara and Katherine/Katharine might be on the top four names if they combined spellings. There really aren't any alternate ways to spell Ashley or Emily or Jessica.
Emily is obsessed with tiramisù and likes black olives but not green olives. I like green olives a lot, especially these ones which have been marinating in garlic and lemon, because when I do eat olives, they're disproportionately the black ones.
Lauren's been to Japan but not to Europe, where, even in Osaka which I guess is pretty loose by Japanese standards, people can't dye their hair blonde if they leave the roots dark.
I didn't think to ask about colored hair in Europe, although that woman from Verona had both colored hair and tattoos.
I was looking for some stuff I wrote about hedgehog lifespans and found out that Roph is an anime right douchebag who follows Mombot and Paul Joseph Watson and Gavin McInnes. He was always a techie and he was always a militant atheist, although he defended Doug TenNapel because they both find GBLT people to be icky and that's more important than religious views, and all I can say is I'm glad I never really admired the guy.
I know, I know, I really shouldn't be surprised that someone on Gamingforce turned out to be an asshole. You're 29. That's way too old to be an edgy teenager.
I obtained the Gradual by Christopher Priest and heard a song I liked and I could make out enough of the lyrics to find it, which is good because I'm extremely unlikely to hear it now that it's past Thanksgiving and the only thing I'll hear in a store is Winter Wonderland or Let It Snow or possibly Santa Baby. It's also a relatively new song.
It sounds like something Emma would like.
Ashley isn't talking to Christina either.
burning question: they set off from Plymouth and landed in Plymouth. How lucky is that?
