Oh, are we doing older selfies too? I cut all my hair off a few months ago because it kept gettin ripped out by my hard hat.

This is me (before I learned to hate the snow) when I’d just met my ex wife, pictured. Our divorce is supposed to finalize tomorrow, but I’m still broken and on drugs because of it, so, yay. At least three more months of legal garbage is better than taking the stand like this.

:love: You can still love the snow, it's a lot easier through a window while sitting next to fireplace though.

I spent a good part of my day looking through all my kitty pictures, so in the spirit of old selfies I have two. Looking at it now the first one feels like I was doing my best Sid impression without knowing it (:glomp:), and the second is probably one of my favorites I have of the kitty and I, from my days living in a hovel while in grad school

e: realizing these photos are practically identical, ah well, :catte:

Yeah, it is p nice then. I should be ready to go back to work around the time it really starts to hit the Midwest. Linemen are required to work in all weather conditions, so it gets miserable around hour ten out in a blizzard, even with a mask, coveralls, thermals and a parka. Still better than the wet bulb summer I’m getting to skip.


Did you just use power word command, or have I been playing too much Baulder’s Gate 3?

“Sit!”
*cat sits

Powerful magics there.

I’m having difficulty in lining a YouTube video, but this was a kitty I met outside someone’s house last winter.

Anyway, I too am surprised at how good looking people are. Maybe these selfies are just really good. I’d say y’all look better than people I see on the street, let alone simply “good for goons”. I’ve enjoyed it so much I went through the old thread with similar experiences. Like for real, some of you are absolute stunners. Lol I even have a stupid parasocial crush on someone in the old thread due to boredom.

I’m sure I come off as pretty mopey, but this thread is really cheerful and earnest and it makes me happy in a “this is a real community full of real people who are often enough really cool” sort of way.

Thanks goons. Even angry goons. I’d hit the bars with pretty much any one of you. It’d be great, we could all make fun of thumb headed chuds together.

I have long hair now and when I put my glasses up on my forehead the pads which rest on your nose get caught in my hair and invariably end up tearing a few strands out if I forget/am not careful. Spending 10 hours out in the cold with a hardhat would probably motivate me to do the same, although I do appreciate having an extra layer to cover the back of my next. As for Kitty, he actually learned how to sit, my ex was the one who taught him and I kept it going. Takes a while but I think most cats would learn although treats are probably essential for success.

I think the photos, avatars, and one signature I've had the pleasure of stumbling across add a lot. Other online communities it's sometimes hard to even realize your talking to an individual, if you are. reddit comes to mind, when I used it there were a handful of people I'd recognize from the local sub I'd visit, which doesn't doesn't do much to developing any sort of solidarity. The endless stream of bots, throwaway accounts, etc. didn't help either. I enjoy getting to know people here and for the most part, ya'll are good people, even when life gets the better us, being able to contextualize is nice.

:cheers:

e: alright, here's something recent, as in 5 minutes ago. now I don't have to procrastinate anymore

Probably my favorite hoodie, awkwardly posed to show off the sleeves,

here's the back,


I bought this in 99 or 2000 and minus an unfortunate bleach stain, is still going strong. Also, the band is still awesome.

I admit to having used a few filters and a bit of photoshopping on my pictures. This is me without the very minor doctoring:

lol if you aren't casting glamours left and right to hide your twisted fae nature

Seattle LAN goons had a big bonfire this past weekend and my job was to hold down the fire spot on the beach all day. I don't want to vicariously traumatize anyone but there was sun.





Like even the fire was trying to stay in the shade smdh

Then today I went to a big gay jewish rose garden wedding, which was a lovely and moving experience, plus they had a free dippin' dots station. I usually prefer baggy/flowy things but i guess my 3AM brain ordered this dress from the internet so thems was the breaks. I like it though.



some cupcakes and roses and poo poo

I left in 2012 and I've been wanting to go back to at least visit for a while. My ex-wife lives out there so there's a lot of bad memories and all that BS but the terrain can't be beat. I miss looking outside and seeing mountains and green.... just green everywhere.

I'll let you know if I ever eventually do it!

Sorry about the heat, last time I was in PNW it was p cold...guess I never thought of it as a place that gets like that.



Finishing 48 hrs, tomorrow I'm going to get a haircut and go see Ghost. Fit suggestions are welcome, might be a good venue for me to venture away from the tired ol "normie jockdad" look.

I saw Ghost about a week ago but they didnt have any booths doing face painting in exchange for all your personal info like usual. Maybe do a "Kiss" style face makeup and wear some 80s glam rock gear and see if anyone appreciates it.

Forgot to ask, have you considered getting a majestic dwarven beard for the skull purse? Would probably make the whole thing wildly inconvenient but it might look cool :cool:
