The Awkward Silence

Mhm... it's not as intuitive for me... idk lol Rn i'm killing it (my computer) with some task I launched... it's taking forever.... I should've added log messages to track progress lol

bruglesco

lol. Still working on the Vue project?

Anilla

Oh no, this is something else. I pretty much finished that thing up. Doing a load of matrix maths for fun haha

bruglesco

said no one ever

Anilla

Oh it's fun in this context :) believe me.

bruglesco

I do. That was most a joke

Anilla

4:29 AM

Ok good XD Glad someone else likes matrices like I do hehe

bruglesco

ohh I meant I believe you. My math education ended prior to matrices. (Unfortunately cause they are kinda fascinating)

Anilla

Ooooo, it's working perfectly. Cheeky little grins have been had lol

bruglesco

0.0

Anilla

@bruglesco Aha! Well I'm working on something I might show ya later on. you can see how neat they are first hand Possssibly

bruglesco

cool. I look forward to it.

ohh sweet. I get my first silver badge tomorrow.

Anilla

4:34 AM

Nice!!

@Anilla It won't let me suggest an edit so trivial but the word you are looking for is fluent. affluent means possessing large wealth.

Q: How to tell foreigners they don't need to speak English when near me?

Background At my university we have a library building for students to meet other students and discuss/study amongst themselves. It's rather large and people from all sorts of backgrounds can be found here; foreigners included. Situation I'm often in this library studying different subjects (u...

Anilla

@bruglesco Get your rep up so you can edit any question/answer :P

bruglesco

I'm trying

Get the site back on the HNQ and I can do it with two good answers.

Okay more like 2 well-timed sensational answers

but that's quibbling over semantics

Anilla

5:21 AM

Yeah, I'm waiting for good questions to answer... it's been really slow lately. That's why I've been throwing in a good question here and there

Just to show we aren't completely dead

bruglesco

I need sleep. g'night.

Anilla

Night :)

5:54 AM

@Anilla Bah... Garbage collecting.... Is the reason why some people are considered programmers without having an real idea of what their hardware even is doing x)

God morning (@Anilla to have had)

Anilla

@dhein Hehe, Go let's you have both (kind of)... it's not as flexible as C but it's not bad :) Good morning

dhein

So you have to allocate the memory but don't need to free it? ^^

Anilla

Yea.... xD It holds your hand most of the way. Sometimes I have those days where I need something to do that though LOL

I think I'm gonna optimize some of it with C... Go has pretty intuitive bindings for it so maybe I can sneak by :P

dhein

6:22 AM

Sounds interesting :D

Anilla

6:36 AM

Can ya'll check this answer I left: interpersonal.stackexchange.com/a/21079/23099

I'm a bit unsure about the paragraph with the link... I'm not sure if it fits well

dhein

I'll later.

Anilla

Thanks buddy :)

Hehe, congrats :)

@avazula Could you do some cleaning? It's starting to feel like The Closed here :p

avazula

@Ælis i can't sorry, I'm on my phone and my laptop is in a box

Ælis

Arf, I guess we will have to wait for someone else ^^

Anilla

10:20 AM

@dhein hey I took your suggestion and clarified a few things :) Lemme know whatcha think

Also hello again @avazula and @Ælis :)

Ælis

@Anilla Hello to you too :) (Even though I believe I already told you that yesterday which was today morning for you)

Anilla

@Ælis haha wow that’s gotten confusing hasn’t it? xD my body decided to wake up at 5:00am so here I am. Maybe it’s cause I woke up remembering my answer wasn’t phrased how I wanted it to be :P

dhein

10:41 AM

@Anilla Do you ever sleep? '^.^

About your edit, it is better now, yeah. I still am not sure, if you should write it that way, as making such judgements of why a 3rd person might react the way they react, is hard to make without being involved and knowing that person. I totally agree with what you say and would give the same advice any friend I know personally... But... I am not sure about if thats also best for IPS.

I am not saying it is bad. I am just saying I don't feel able to decide any further. Maybe wait for someone else. As I might be biased here, as said, cause I would give the very same advice.

Good morning :)

Hiya!

Tinkeringbell

Hello :)

@TheTinyMan what character are you going to be?

TheTinyMan

@Tinkeringbell Did I tell you my paladin died? :-( So I'm going in as the angry and stabby blood mage.

Tinkeringbell

I think I remember the paladin dying, and you needing a new costume ;)

Or that was the one before the paladin, and now the paladin has died too

TheTinyMan

2:49 PM

No, the paladin is the one I'd've mentioned who died.

Tinkeringbell

But that means you'd be going through characters at quite a speed!

scohe001

Ooh do you stab people with blood? For blood? Or because blood?

Tinkeringbell

I think blood mage means evil magic :P

But I'm not a fantasy character expert!

TheTinyMan

@scohe001 All of the above! :-D I stab people with my "Blood Spikes" spell sometimes! I'm also a vampire, so I stab them with my teeth to drink some blood at least once per event! And, well...blood is fun and it's nice to paint a room in it! ;-)

The vampire race is so OP in this system xD

scohe001

Ooh that sounds perfect

Tinkeringbell

2:50 PM

resists jokes

TheTinyMan

@Tinkeringbell No, no, let's hear 'em!

Tinkeringbell

Nope. My secrets shall remain my own ;)

Have fun at your LARP!

TheTinyMan

@Tinkeringbell I'll try! :-D I miss my paladin, though. :'( You get to make up your own spell verbals in this game, and I had a point-cast choke spell (which means it's not dodgeable, and I get to point at my target to indicate who they are) for which I picked the incant, "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

Tinkeringbell

So why not play a paladin again?

TheTinyMan

...that line in Star Wars probably doesn't translate very directly.

Ehhh. I try not to play the exact same kind of character twice in a row. It kind of looks bad?

ElizB

3:02 PM

Geez, i regret translating that latest answer on that "reduce awkwardness on the way to the bedroom".... wow.

Tinkeringbell

translating?

ElizB

the user posted something that wasn't english and it translated to something very rude. i just flagged

Tinkeringbell

Oh oi. I don't need to translate that one!

ElizB

yeeeep haha

that's why I regretted translating it

Tinkeringbell

(Deleted your message @Ælis, the link was helpful but the onebox not so much and it's deleted now anyways ;) )

Alex

3:07 PM

Good thing I saw it in time.

Tinkeringbell

@Alex It wasn't ever proper Dutch...

So don't go using it in public!

Alex

@Tinkeringbell It was enough for Google Translate to get me the gist of it, I think.

Tinkeringbell

Oh, that it most likely was.

Alex

Though it suggested some slight modifications.

Tinkeringbell

I don't want to know :P

Lets talk about more benign stuff.

Alex

3:12 PM

Well it's too late for a "Morning!"

Tinkeringbell

We know TinyMan is going LARPing, what is everyone else planning for the weekend?

Mithrandir

Sleep

Rainbacon

Going to see a concert tomorrow

Sleep

Mithrandir

Well, no sleep tonight, sleep all tomorrow

scohe001

3:13 PM

@Rainbacon ooh who?

Rainbacon

Jackie Evancho

Mithrandir

Oooh, nice

That should be fun :D

scohe001

Huh I don't know her

But concerts are always fun. Hope you enjoy!

Alex

Jackie Evancho

Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho ( ee-VANG-koh; born April 9, 2000) is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued a platinum-selling EP and seven albums, including three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. She has also released three solo PBS concert specials. Between 2008 and 2010, Evancho entered talent competitions, sang the US national anthem at a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game, issued her first album, Prelude to a Dream, and attracted interest on YouTube. In 2010, at the age of ten, she gained wide notice with her 2nd-place finish...

@Tinkeringbell playing D&D saturday, celebrating my mom's bday sunday

Tinkeringbell

Nice! I have absolutely zero plans :)

And that's kinda perfect :)

Ælis

I wish I would have zero plan too. But My aunt is visiting my cousin who leaves (more or less) in the same town than me and I'm expected to visit a science museum with them and the kids on Saturday (but at least my Sunday is free and I will be able to do nothing \o/)

ElizB

I'm looking forward to the rock and mineral show it's pretty big. going with mom, sister, brother, stepdad, and a few other deaf folks I invited

DaveG

it's settled, i hate CSS far more than i hate javascript.

happy friday

Ælis

@DaveG Haha, plus one for that! :p

Rainbacon

3:34 PM

@DaveG As well you should

TheTinyMan

@DaveG There's room in my heart to hate both about equally.

DaveG

I hate CSS with the passion of 1,000 burning suns. Everything is affected by everything else. This element doesn't align right... oh look back 5 levels at that block level element that is actually displayed inline.

Well I actually work with typescript that makes JS somewhat palatable.

JS I can usually figure out what's going on. CSS I just keep fiddling till it comes out, which is incredibly unsatisfying.

TheTinyMan

I work with Typescript...and that's great as long as my code isn't obfuscated or the problem isn't something that Typescript usually catches but not this time

although I think my complaint with that last bit is more about Angular than Typescript itself

and then it's still Javascript so I've got to have the developer console up to even see a runtime error if something's not visibly wrong

sorry, I could rant for days xD

(by which I mean "I mostly ran out of rant but want to seem more eloquent than I am")

Rainbacon

@DaveG This. So much this. I have coworkers who are really good at css, and half the time when I run into an issue and ask about it, they don't even know.

Ælis

flag-pls | NLN | interpersonal.stackexchange.com/questions/20995/…

DaveG

3:41 PM

CSS it really does feel like every part is connected and you either have to be incredibly disciplined or incredibly lucky to get it to work. There are stupid little visual things in the app I inherited that I think "oh this is easy I'll fix it" and I spend half a day on it and then give up.

scohe001

3:55 PM

@DaveG do you at least have Angular to help separate that ugly CSS into little boxes?

Rainbacon

@Ælis It's gone now, but I'm wondering if NLN was the right flag

I suppose that if we assume good faith and that the poster just doesn't understand gender neutral pronouns it probably is the right flag

DaveG

@scohe001 we don't use Angular, we use a framework that isn't supported anymore, with knockoutjs for data binding, including some CSS templating. In some ways it's kind of nice but CSS GAHGAHGAH

scohe001

Yikers

DaveG

@scohe001 yeah but soon I'm going to go to the gym and work out and physical pain will help. Not to mention I volunteered this week at animal shelter and got to meet the most amazing dog, just trying to figure out if he can fit into our lives.

scohe001

Awww what kind?

DaveG

4:15 PM

@scohe001 some kind of big mix, they think he's about a year or less. He's just bounce bounce bounce and we went into a field and played and we were both having the best time. Just got to figure out things like cat compatibility and work compatibility and wife compatibility. Minor details.

I walked some other dogs that were fine but this guy was special.

scohe001

Lol I'm not sure how minor those are, but that's awesome that you found one that you really love. Animal companions make everything happier

DaveG

@scohe001 yeah any one could be a show-stopper, although strangely enough the cat compatibility is probably the main one. If the dog won't eat the cat I think my wife is ok with it, and then I can negotiate with my work about more home time. Can't leave this guy alone too long I think

ElizB

there's also dog-proofing your residence to consider haha

my aunt has a great dane and they keep having to baby proof everything because the dog eats everything and anything that's out

DaveG

@ElizB ah yeah I had the sweetest dog for almost 16 years, and I loved her dearly, but she would eat any semi-food-related item she could get. Also like paper... envelopes, TP, etc. We ended up gating off the kitchen to keep her out of the cat food, but I don't think that's an option this time around, we just redid the kitchen

ElizB

@DaveG ahh so you will have to come up with solution to that when you speak with wife :)

DaveG

4:31 PM

@ElizB yeah probably go with feeding the cat down in laundry room, and then gating that off, that should be ok. I have ideas... :)

ElizB

@DaveG good, the wife will be pleased with you coming up with solutions ;)

TheTinyMan

Cat poop is a canine delicacy don't forget!

DaveG

@TheTinyMan oh yeah, my dog LOVED snacking in the cat box! Yum!

TheTinyMan

@DaveG The dog I have now is a shockingly picky eater...but he's also incredibly curious. He'll break IN to all kinds of containers when he's in a mood. Pill bottles, bags of chips, treat bags...but unless the contents is meat or a very, very specific subset of fruit, he will then leave it be, curiosity satisfied.

Which is...good.

ElizB

good but you have a mess to clean up! ugh

TheTinyMan

4:37 PM

Now the last dogs that I had...haha, they'd watch the cats poop, drooling.

Rainbacon

@TheTinyMan your dog likes fruit? every dog I've ever had wouldn't touch any fruits

TheTinyMan

@ElizB Yeeeep. He also likes to get into the garbage and poop everywhere when his separation anxiety kicks in. :-(

DaveG

@TheTinyMan yeah I had an elderly cat that got to the point where she couldn't really digest food all that well, my dog would follow her around waiting for her to go.

TheTinyMan

@Rainbacon Very specific fruits. Every dog I've had likes grapes if pre-squished, although he's not a HUGE fan he'll eat them. Not that I feed them to him, haha, except the once to show him he'd hate it.

He's eaten two or three others...maybe they were veggies? I don't remember, I just remember letting him try something I was about to cook and then I was like, "whoa, he likes it? That's not a meat!"

DaveG

One time I was looking at some tomato plants and thinking one of them was just about ready to harvest. I looked back at it and it was gone... then I saw my dog licking her lips. Loved her veggies.

scohe001

4:40 PM

Cough tomatoes are fruits cough :p

ElizB

@TheTinyMan ugh, that stinks

TheTinyMan

@DaveG Awww. I - well, my ex-girlfriend - tried growing tomato plants at my house once. The deer loved her for it. :-p

ElizB

@TheTinyMan ah, yeah. My mom's plants always had some nibbles here and there but her veggies were grown on her porch which was elevated, deer can't climb stairs all that great and it's right next to the house they didn't dare come closer

TheTinyMan

Ahh, yeah. The deer literally stand on our back porch (which isn't elevated) sometimes.

One day I will successfully pet one!

DaveG

@scohe001 Dodm

Jasper

4:42 PM

@TheTinyMan Do the deer visit your home?

DaveG

@scohe001 whup didn't Prez Raygun say ketchup was a veggie?

TheTinyMan

@Jasper Sometimes! They sleep in my yard a bit, too.

ElizB

Gonna go to the cafe here on campus to grab foods

TheTinyMan

Bon appetit!

Jasper

I see. I am not used to seeing animals. Where I live, deer only exist in the zoos.

DaveG

4:43 PM

Yeah I had a choice as to whether the deer eat our tomatoes or the dog. At least when she was old enough I could put the pots up on a table where she couldn't get at them.

TheTinyMan

@Jasper Yeah. I love my house and where I live, when I'm not busy hating everything going wrong with my house and the politics of everyone around me. :-P

Jasper

I know some people live near lions and tigers, which can be dangerous.

TheTinyMan

Ooh, that sounds scary!

I hear about coyotes more over here, not that I'm particularly close to anything like that myself.

@IPSCommentBot i I've sure been seeing only_pro come up a lot in these lately...

Rainbacon

@El'endiaStarman I've noticed the same thing

ElizB

Same here.

Ælis

@El'endiaStarman Yeah, they seem to have an account on IPS only to be chatty...

Maybe we should raise a custom mod flag and ask the mods to tell only_pro to stop chatting?

ElizB

@Ælis Just did

Ælis

Thanks :)

TheTinyMan

5:49 PM

@Ælis Tell them there's a chat room for that! xD

Rainbacon

Do deleted comments not show up in SEDE?

TheTinyMan

Speaking of being chatty.

Man, I'd be just as bad at sign language as I am at speaking. I just tried to throw the horns over my keyboard in quiet celebration and instead held up three fingers as though I were indicating the number "three."

ElizB

heh :)

ElizB

6:21 PM

my cochlear implant batteries died, but it seems I like the peace and quiet a lot more and feel more focused :P

but my situational awareness (related to sound) is zilch because of this

TheTinyMan

@ElizB Haha, it's funny, did you know that a lot of offices include white noise machines to make it harder to hear things? To help preserve focus. They're not usually overwhelming but I just noticed the parallel.

ElizB

@TheTinyMan i guess the other stuff could constitute as white noise but it's distracting for me

TheTinyMan

@ElizB Well, no, the machines I'm talking about have an effect to basically muffle all other sounds a little

It's not the same thing as a mashup of other sounds that we filter out as 'white noise'

ElizB

@TheTinyMan ahh, okay i think i understand better. heh, deaf people usually dont get what "white noise" is, they usually consider something like that annoying

adds more noise

TheTinyMan

In this case it just sounds like moving air, less noticeable than my desk fan though.

ElizB

6:50 PM

ah, huh. okay

ElizB

8:22 PM

afternoon slump on friday -_- yawns ugh. how long till I go home? 2 hours 8 minutes.

Anilla

8:33 PM

@dhein Lately I haven’t been sleeping too well lol. And that’s fair enough, I’ll just wait till someone else leaves feedback if they decide to :)

Hello everyone!

Rainbacon

Hi Anilla!

ElizB

Hey :)

@Anilla how's it going?

Anilla

8:47 PM

@ElizB It’s going well, thanks! How about you? Still waiting to go home? :)

@Rainbacon hey what’s up? :D

Rainbacon

Angular is being annoying

ElizB

@Anilla yeeeah im supposed to be doing literature review but we all know that's just reading a lot of science papers that make me feel like eyes are falling out

Anilla

@Rainbacon Darn Angular... and really any framework sometimes. What’s it doing wrong??

Rainbacon

When I try to disable a button with the [disabled] directive it hides it instead

Anilla

@ElizB Oof. Science papers and reading a long time... my attention span would suffer lol. What’s the plan when you finally get home?

@Rainbacon Huh, how irritating. I’d offer to help but my only experience is in Vue lol

ElizB

8:56 PM

@Anilla See where my energy is at and potentially go rock climbing or stay in and watch a movie. either way i'm happy

Anilla

@ElizB Have you ever thought of rock climbing a cliff-face or mountain? Or is that something a li’l’ too scary? Haha

ElizB

@Anilla that's something in the future, in the summer

wayyy in the future if I get that good

Anilla

@ElizB That’d be awesome :) It takes a lot of effort to know the right route and holds to use. Biggest thing for me would simply be the scale of it... heights are something rather bothersome and scary :P

ElizB

@Anilla extreme heights, yeah if you're climbing. If you're riding a rollercoaster that's no problem for me. I've ridden the tallest rollercoaster in the world

Anilla

@ElizB Haha well look at you go :) I only have problems with heights when I don’t feel 100% secure. So climbing would definitely be hittin’ those nerves. Some amusement park rides hit them too. Not always though

Rainbacon

9:05 PM

Oof, figured it out. Turns out my array was null instead of just empty

scohe001

@Rainbacon hey "null" and "full" are only one letter off

You were close

Anilla

Do arrays in JavaScript have static sizes? Or are they dynamic?

Rainbacon

They are dynamic

Anilla

I think they’re dynamic. They must be with the push and pop functions... yeah

scohe001

@Anilla what language do you come from?

Anilla

9:09 PM

@scohe001 Uhh, C/Java

Rainbacon

Fun fact, you don't have to put elements in at the next index

scohe001

Ahh. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Javascript then :p

@Rainbacon they're like dictionaries that map an int to a something? O_O

Rainbacon

If you have an array with 3 elements you can still do arr[10] = 5

@scohe001 yep

scohe001

Yay for js

Anilla

Hahaha I’ve been trying. Sometimes it’s needed though. What... they can be inserted at any ambiguous position? That sounds like a Map implementation and not an array xD

Rainbacon

9:11 PM

Here's a great explanation of the quirks of javascript destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

ElizB

@Anilla I once rode a rollercoaster that only had lap restraints and it didnt go upside down but it definitely caused a bit of nervousness

Anilla

@scohe001 What languages are you most familiar with? :)

Rainbacon

It gets to the js about 1:20

scohe001

@Anilla I started with Python for a few years and then spent my college career with C++. I'm in C#/.net now though

ElizB

@Anilla found it! skyrush

Anilla

9:14 PM

@ElizB Oh no! I’ve been on a few like that. I would hold on to my riding buddy and half the ride for dear life xD ohh its the Hersheypark. I’ve never been

ElizB

Hershey park is a huge fun rollercoaster park and it's not super expensive

i had a ball there- got a 2-day pass with family

Anilla

That’s fun! Where’s it located at?

ElizB

@Anilla Hershey, Pennsylvania, in the US!

Anilla

@ElizB Ohhhhh. Maybe I should go there this summer! It looks really fun.

ElizB

@Anilla I'm hoping to go in the summer as well. it's a ton of fun indeed

i got to ride all of the rides

looks at prices wow. it's really affordable. $34 for 2 days if buy now

but i'm guessing they'll go as high as $45

but that's still seriously affordable compared to other parks i've gone to

Great Bear is another one of my favorites from Hershey park.

i seem to like those dangle-your-feet rollercoasters :D

ohhi can't forget storm runner either.... that one was super fun hehehe my stepdad came with me and he somewhat almost regretted it hahaha i asked him if he was up to it and he was like "yeah, yeah, i think so"... 0 to 72 MPH in 2 seconds flat later... heh, he was a little wide-eyed

I loved seeing my mom's and sisters faces when they were watching and waving on the ground before the rollercoaster takeoff

Anilla

9:27 PM

Haha storm runner sounds insanely awesome! Fastest car I’ve been does 0-60 in 2.5s... that was amazing... I want faster though hehe

ElizB

@Anilla if you want faster and higher, try Kingda Ka the tallest rollercoaster in the world. Went and did that. :D survived! So much fun and the view was amazing. 0 to 128 MPH in 3.5 seconds.

points to self Thrill seeker? Adrenaline junkie? absolutely and proud of it!!

oh and attached to that rollercoaster is Zumanjaro Drop of Doom which was pretty awesome too

Anilla

Whoah... 0-128 in 3.5!! Did you feel like your insides were getting pressed to the seat? XD

ElizB

hmm, maybe. i was too busy taking in the sights :D

i was sad that it was so short

Anilla

How long does the whole thing last? Haha

ElizB

@Anilla maybe a minute or two

Anilla

9:41 PM

Ahh that is kind of short. I love appreciating the scenery. Just taking a moment to bring it all in. I saw the Grand Canyon awhile back and that was amazing. Pictures really don’t do it justice haha

ElizB

@Anilla I saw it when I went over there around 9 years old

I was young but I don't think I'll forget it :) I also saw the hoover dam. just a huge wonder to look at and take in

I'm gonna head home. Not gonna get much more work done so might as well

Anilla

@ElizB Yea it’s pretty hard to forget :) Lemme know what you ended up deciding to do hehe

ElizB

10:10 PM

@Anilla movie. More specifically, Cool Runnings. It's a movie hubby's wanted to show me, it's a comedy about a made up jamacian bobsled team

user15026

@ElizB I love that movie, I have seen it so many times.

user15026

@ElizB I used to love rollercoasters but they're not super fun for me anymore. (Part of that is my size, I don't fit well or at all really in a lot of newer coasters)

Anilla

10:30 PM

@ElizB Haha, enjoy it! I've heard good things about it :)

ElizB

Cool, we'll enjoy it :)

Anilla

@Ash I've been in a few newer rollercoasters too and some can be really tight. I think they're doing it to reduce weight of the cars, increase speed/decrease air resistance, etc. which I get... but sometimes they can be really uncomfortable

user15026

@Anilla As Canada's Wonderland put it, I'm "of larger than average size" so there are literally seats that are not made for me to fit in :( So I stick with the ones where it's like supposed to be a parent riding beside a child, then I have room. :)

user15026

(Plus, I find those more fun anyhow :P)

Anilla

@Ash Glad you're able to have fun then :D that's what counts :)

user15026

10:36 PM

I am good at making my own fun :)

user15026

(Plus really I like rides like the spinning teacups and such much more than the rollercoasters. Or give me a good waterpark, those are fantastic too)

Anilla

@Ash Waterparks are my personal favorite! Absolutely love feeling the water and the mist against my skin when it's really hot outside.

Anilla

What's everyone's plan for the weekend? Anything fancy? :)

bruglesco

Melt? Where are you that you're not freezing with the rest of us?

Well my son just made me agree to make spaghetti and meatballs from scratch with him tomorrow and also take him for a walk.

scohe001

@bruglesco in a company with enough constant fires to thaw you out the moment you get in and have you melting by the end of the day :(

bruglesco

Ah. That sucks.

I used to have to deal with fires. Now I only have to worry about the literal ones.

Has someone tried out an external GPU with any portable macOS machine before?

I'm considering purchasing one with all the matrix math I'm doing

user15026

@Anilla Hanging out with some friends on Sunday, and my aunt is coming to visit Monday (I work Saturdays, so Sunday/Monday is my weekend)

Anilla

@Ash That sounds fun! Time with friends is the best :) just generally hanging out or are ya set out to do something more ambitious? :P

user15026

Chilling and chatting, on Sunday, Monday my aunt and I have some errands and such we want to run together. (She lives in a very rural area, I live in a decent sized city, so we often get some shopping and things in when she visits)

Anilla

I love shopping :) I tend to be very careful with what I buy so it ends up working out for me haha. What stuff do you often shop for?

11:59 PM

It varies. This time, we're going clothes shopping. (I need new pants and she wants to look at some things at some of the shops she really likes here)
