Well, that’s great!
I think that I never heard of たまらない, and now I think I understand it and can remember it! Thank you! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’m very glad that I didn’t play Mario Kart so I couldn’t get sucked into the same great achievement omg first on almost every course!
As friendly as you appear to be, it seems that you may actually be a heartless competitor who is used to being the best.

Eek!! I’m so glad you found your keys!
That was a super-smart and effective, if time consuming, approach. OMG

You know me… My advice is to “get a (machine washable) phoney pack”. And keep your keys strapped to your body at all times.

I like Trunkie’s chain!

2043

I do something pretty similar, so seconding this.

In addition to the chain though, I recommend adding a ferromagnetic ring. Most of the sturdy keychain ones are ime. I use mine and a magnetic to hang mine on the door out of kitty’s reach. My door is also ferromagnetic though

Uuu, sounds useful, though with my losing things tendency it might be another thing to stress about when trying to go out and not being able to find it. Maybe keep it permanently connected to the keys and then attach it to clothes only when you’re leaving?

Good idea, we stan ^^

My key spends most of the time in a lock, and I don’t know how good of a strategy is it, but I had one time when someone started playing with my lock outside in an old flat and I woke up and I was scared out of my mind, and ever since, I’ve been having a key in the lock when I remember about it not to search it and make it hard for anyone outside to insert anything in the lock ^^

Jeez, the reference game xdd

But this is what I was talking about with たまらない, that there is some nuance between the grammars, even if they all are meant to mean the same thing:

I think I like たまらない the most in conventional use (I did fail my ならない review on Bunpro earlier today, so that’s why xddd)

And this is an important word and I’m probably overdue on internalizing it by now ^^

Day 13 is still not exciting in many ways and Shirou keeps building his resolve for the third day in a row, which makes me happy to announce that it’s the final block of day 13 tomorrow and we’re off to day 14 tomorrow, so just a little more ^^

Ha, you won’t stop me, I’ll post it!!

Too bad it’s over xddd

So the usual friends today invited me to see the first concert film that Ghost have released, Rite Here, Rite Now, if you were wondering how my descent into satanism has been going xddd

Turns out, the friend who invited me to the cinema last Saturday prepared a huge primer with all of the references and clips of actual lore just for me and as soon as I saw the 30-video long playlist before the film I was like “DAMN” xddd

She’s really good at making you care about the specific topic though, so we binged a lot today ^^

And they have cats and I played with the cats as I was consuming the lore and learning about Copia’s and V’s conflict and considering it’s the same friend who introduced me to The Amazing Digital Circus, she had a few theories that were not confirmed in any interview and according to her, people on Reddit would’ve probably hated them :sob:

And yeah, before I realized, it was midnight, so having friends to just spend an entire evening with is a great development xdd

Also, I got recruited to watch 2 Big To Rig for the second time this Sunday, we already have the tickets and all, amazing considering it’s my day <checks calendar> 5 of being a Ghost fan or something :face_exhaling:

See you tomorrow xddd

2045

That’s exactly how I use it :sweat_smile:

WE’RE ENTERING DAY 14 :DDDD
Suddenly the plot started moving forward and Shirou is mad dashing towards a location right now, whew ^^

I’m very much not a big fan of Sakura being like “im sorry…” and Shirou being like “I WILL PROTECT YOU. NO WORRIES.”, so I’m excited for the pacing to finally pick up xdd

Also, I’m surprised this word is so popular, I completely forgot that the 護 kanji even existed in the first place :eyes:
Maybe I’m reading too little ^^

And I’ve been working on another script for Bookwalker, this time, one that reverse-engineers the reader and pulls all of the pages independent of the whole reader, and it works, it’s pretty fast, and you have an option of uploading books immediately through Mokuro to a Mega drive so that you can access it on the tablet, I have a lot to clean up, but it’d be fun to make it public one day ^^

Today, my story brings me to a place I’ve never visited before, Alt-Lietzow, and if you thought I’d be playing an instrument…

…I probably should, but this is not why I went there xddd
The writer/collage friend of mine invited me to a Creative Writer’s Meetup, that apparently has been around since the 90s - and you can see that the age of some of the people there can also reflect that ^^

It’s bilingual, meaning I was forced to both read and think (and give criticism too!) in German!

My friend wrote in English though and her story was either an excerpt or an abridged version of a bigger prose story she’s currently working on, and she wrote it in a very specfic way where she wasn’t one hundred percent sure what response she will get, and I commented on her work, and she was like “HMMM” and started writing things down xdd

I didn’t end up bringing any story, but I got 9 sheets of paper back home, 6 of them in German - both my favorite and my least favorite story were in German, the favorite I barely understood, but it was a portrait of a generational trauma written through letters passed from one generation to the other, and the refusal to pass them down, and the refusal to read them, and I was just transported to an environment where I was hallucinating how the story went based on the vibes alone xddd

And the least favorite, a scifi story, excerpt from a book, chapter 2, where the guy writing this Obviously Didn’t Know how women’s bodies work and it was the prime menwritingwomen material, but at least the language was simple xddd

This creative writing group is held once a month, and once a year there’s a special prose reading event for the members of the verein, where they’re allowed to read their bigger works of art and people are listening, so hey, cool deal!

And for my birthday, my friend made me a notebook with a collage and a dedication to want to write inside of it, and you know, I should be writing more xddd
