HERE COMES THE BOOP TRAIN!

I'm proud to report that (this far) I have been able to boop every person who has reblogged ^^

(I will boop everyone who reblogs this post, for the record 💖)

I had an interview with a local paper this week about this rock snake I started on the longest street of a nearby city (where I work) because it's bringing people so much joy:

I said something during the interview that the interviewer seemed really shocked by, so in case it's important for anyone else to hear: When asked about the rock snake and some scavenger hunts that I've hosted for adults, I said -

"We don't stop enjoying the things we liked as kids; they just stop being offered to us. And when you're a kid, fun things like art projects and scavenger hunts are always brought to you, so you're not taught to make a habit of seeking them out as and adult."

She said "Wow yeah... life is so stressful... and you don't think to... wow."

So if anyone else needs direct permission to be a whimsical adult child today, I hereby grant it to everyone. ❤️

It's so soon to reblog this, but I was on the phone with my Mom, and she mentioned making me an Easter basket. I laughed and said "Thank you for excitedly making me an Easter basket at the ripe age of [insert an age over 18]," and she goes "You don't stop liking what you did as a kid, people stop presenting it to you." 😂❤️🥺

I just noticed that I still have some chicken pox scars even as an adult, so i'm curious. If you have scars from it, are they more on the left side of your body or the right? Mine are all on my right!

I wasn't given it on purpose, but I had a very miserable summer break in elementary school where i just stared out the window and tried not to itch.

Poll

Reblog for the sample size!!

As always, y’all do not grasp the “reblog this poll for science” thing do you

tarountula :3

I made this in reference to comic/game stuff but I’m glad to see this one’s going over well with all the writers

i think one of the funniest avenues of inspiration for creating an oc is when you really want a character with a specific name you've become obsessed with so you create a whole entire guy about it

it's like getting a dog just because you really want someone to wear the nice engraved collar you bought

sorry i forgot which website i'm on. it's like getting a boyfriend just because you really want someone to wear the nice engraved dog collar you bought.

part in the book where percy starts to realise something is Wrong about the casino because a guy he's talking to says "groovy" you will always be famous to me

There is a certain point where it becomes “I turn right at the place where I turn right, then take the shortcut which I know about, then left where I turn left. Yes, I’m sure all of these things have proper names but I don’t recall what they are. The only landmarks I remember are places which were torn down decades ago.”

Before GPS was ubiquitous, whenever we sent out invitations to family and friends who hadn't been to our house before (like for a holiday party, or some such), we'd always include a hand-drawn map and written instructions.

Not to be all "Old Woman Yells at Clouds," but I think that's a lost art that needs to be revived.

It's good for the soul (metaphorically speaking) to imagine a journey from someone else's point of view, and to consider which aspects of your local habitat are landmarks that stand out.

(and then have fun doodling those landmarks).
