Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

sleeping-ranna:

Man history majors are so great because they know all this stuff but they have The One Subject and once you find out what a given history buff’s Subject is you will never be bored again because they will tell you all about it with the enthusiasm of a child on Christmas morning

This is also more widely applicable.

For example: my roommate is a linguistics major.  Her One True Subject is conlangs, and she can (and has) talked for multiple hours without slowing down.  She’s gonna make a language and we’re going to run around yelling at each other in it, it’ll be fun.

when boys have sleepovers do they sleep in the same bed like girls do or do the rules of no homo include sharing beds

#girls share beds?

girls always share beds. and covers and clothes and food and personal space. sometimes even bathrooms

Girls share everything.

#girls dont believe in no homo #all da homo #dont give a fuck.

Actual conversation between me and my roommate, after we’d packed up literally our entire dorm room.

Adler: Wait, we didn’t think this through.  My mattress is covered with boxes and I need to sleep there.

Me: *pulls out single sheet and pillow*

Me: It’s okay, I thought of this, you can just crash with me.

Adler: Oh, thanks, bro!  Sounds like a plan!

Crickets: *chirping*

Me: …this is why everyone thinks we’re fucking, isn’t it.

Adler: Moran, my dear, I’ve read this fanfic a hundred times.  This is EXACTLY why everyone thinks we’re fucking.

Talk to the potential land lord about making installments toward your down payment.

This is how I got out my mom’s house both times.

Each pay check start buying things you need for your place. Family Dollar has just about everything that you will need when it comes to hygiene and keeping the place clean.

If it’s safe talk to your other family members to see if they have furniture they want to donate. Most elderly folks especially have lots of furniture they don’t want cluttering their house and they will love to see you.

Craigslist has a section for things left on the kirb. I got my kitchen Cart free and delivered to me when a couple got sick of theirs

Don’t forget to buy a shower curtain and liner….just don’t lol

Once the apartment is secured talk to the utility companies before you get there. If you have no credit or bad credit they may want you to pay a deposit….I found out the hard way after I moved in. It was not a pleasant experience.

Crock pots are your friends

….you will be broke alot. If you have a car or are thinking about getting one, one job probably won’t be enough to sustain you.

The first time I moved out I had 20 dollars to last me until I was paid again. So I ordered a large cheese pizza and ate that for two weeks.

….if you are leaving an abusive situation you may question if you did the right thing a lot. I had panic attacks before and after I moved out.

This does not mean you were wrong to move. It just means the abuse tricked your brain into thinking moving out would be bad for you.

Your apartment probably won’t look how you want it to for a few years and that’s ok. It takes time to build and afford your “aesthetic ”. Don’t feel bad if your apartment is just a bed, a coffee table, and if you are lucky maybe a used sofa. The peace you will have when you close the door and lock it is phenomenal.

Oh if you eat meat chicken thighs and drumsticks are always cheap as are pork chops. Buy them in the large packs, separate them while defrosted into zip locks, throw them the freezer

Craigslist also has a free section. With enough diligence and scrutiny amazing treasures can be found.

Public libraries have free Wi-Fi and cheap printing for resumes, school projects, etc.

Most places like McDonald’s, IHOP, etc have coupon codes on their receipts for completing online surveys. End up with two meals for the price of one.

There are usually local listings for food pantries that you can get groceries from. I have the full list for the NYC area, I’ll post it later.

Also don’t underestimate the power of a thrift shop.

As someone who plans to move within the next year, good tips.

Adding:

For boxes go to the grocery store or family Dollar type places and ask if they have any boxes they can give you. If you work in an office ask the receptionist or the folks in the mail room.

Qvc and hsn have easy pay payment options that will allow you to get items sent to you while making monthly payments. They sell some furniture, mattresses, computers, tvs, etc. Definitely better than lay away, but look out for them over charging.

Counter top dish washers are awesome if you hate doing dishes and your land lord allows them

Salvation Army usually has pretty good deals on furniture. Check with the manger for daily deals. Also check liquor stores for boxes they usually have plenty to spare and they’re always very durable. Check stores like Walmart and Kroger around 7-8pm for deals on whole rotisserie chickens for $3. They’re usually trying to get rid of them around that time. You can make a chicken salad with mayo, mustard, and red onion. It will last you all week for under $6, or you can just eat and store the chicken for a few days.

Also check out https://www.freecycle.org/ !!! We’ve gotten some decent furniture off there and you can post if you’re looking for something specific, too.

nicroburst asked: So I saw your story about Soul eater and got a laugh out of it, I was curious what you've watched since that fateful day?

Actually I’ve been pretty busy with college, so I mostly have a few that I rewatch a bunch (although this summer I’m planning to go hard and put myself through all of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in one fell swoop, pray for me). Let’s see…

I love FMA 03 a lot, I’m currently subjecting my roommate to the pain, it’s fun. I’d probably say it’s my favorite anime (to repeat, I have not seen Brotherhood yet, and am working on it).

I love Soul Eater, of course, I know it pretty well by now.

I’ve seen most of Death Note although it didn’t really do it for me (might’ve been the company, tbh, should probably give it another try).

I’ve seen some of Attack on Titan, which I LOVED because I am a sick twist, but then it was taken off the platform I was streaming it from and also I find subs very hard to watch (yay ADHD), so I haven’t seen most of it.

I like Kaze no Stigma, which is ridiculous and magicky and on Hulu. Fire magic, demons, dubious deals with nebulous all-powerful spirits, fucked up family dynamics, the works. It’s absurd, I think it’s great.

My roommate loves Hetalia and I’m enough of a history nerd to get a huge kick out of it.

I meant to watch Fairy Tale but I got crazy busy around episode four and keep forgetting to go back, so I don’t think that counts.

I watched Black Butler on the recommendation of the same guy who showed us Soul Eater, and really loved the first season and never got around to the second.

My roommate and I watch Ouran when we’re tired/stressed, so we watch Ouran a LOT at school, and we also watch a few other…um…I’m going to admit that we call them ‘garbage animes’ which basically means that we really love them but would also never actually recommend them to another human being, ever. These are things like Seven Deadly Sins on Netflix, and having now been told that piece of information, I naturally expect you to take it to your grave. (Okay, IMO it’s great fun, but it has a lot of what you might call…common anime problems re: women, etc, so YMMV and all that.)

Obviously Avatar: The Last Airbender, but that’s Western animation, so.

As long as we’re on the subject, though, obligatory plug for my favorite non-anime animated thing, though: X-Men Evolution. It’s great, I love it, I am such an X-Men nerd it’s sad.

Um…yeah, I’m sure I’ve forgotten some stuff. But that’s what I can think of right now.

Moran watches anime. Who’d'a thunk.

Aaaanyway, I’d say “tell no one”, but I’m on mobile and I didn’t think it through and am too lazy to retype this whole thing when I get wifi back on my laptop, so. Whatever. I have no shame anyway, come the fuck at me.

i wonder if magic is real, but only in a really mundane way.

when i was little i could almost inerringly switch back to disney channel right as the ads ended when i was channel surfing.

maybe youve never accidentally crushed a ladybug underfoot. maybe your microwave popcorn never burns. maybe you can spin around lots and lots of times before you get dizzy.

is that magic??

honestly im not sure if these are magic or just small, invisible skills. im not sure which i like better.

My ankles never twist.  I’ve always been rather active, I did track for five years (all the running events), and one time while running I stepped in a hole, lost my shoe, and landed sprawling about five feet away.  I pulled my shoe on and kept running.

I have a coworker who somehow makes better coffee than everyone else even though the grounds come pre-measured and all you have to do is load them up and push a button.  I have a friend who has inch long nails that never break.  My brother can copy origami just by looking at the finished product and my mother can do the same with knots.  I knew a guy who never made an error when typing.

Maybe we all have little magics, the kind that you don’t realize you have.  Just tiny things that make your life slightly better but are completely unnoticed on the outside.

this is the cutest post i have ever read…

Nooo I’ve actually shared this theory before. Like my Dad is really lucky finding parking spaces. And I’ve never cracked my phone even though I drop it on the time and have an average case. Like what if everybody gets one trivial part of their life that they’re illogically lucky at?

this post makes me feel better about myself 

Left turn magic here. I’ve pulled up to 4 lane roads with medians and had no traffic at 5 pm, just to turn left.

Let me tell y'all what my co worker does when her friends go on a date: She takes a picture of the person’s drivers license. She doesn’t delete it until her friend(s) return safely.

Everyone needs to be doing this!

I remember my first time picking my girlfriend up to go on a date, and I met her mom that day. She asked to see my ID to take a picture of it “just incase”
I had/have good* intentions so I was cool and went along with it. 😏

Yes!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾If someone gives me a hard time about taking a picture of their license, that’s a red flag.

Girl, I take their number, license plate (w flash so there’s no debate on the car color at night) and a last seen wearing photo, smh. All my girls coming back safe or I’m on that ass.

If he doesn’t drive, send your friend the location or address of where you the date is taken place. If you change locations, screenshot where y'all at and send it to them. Stay safe.

There is an app called glympse that will broadcast your location to whomever you choose for I think I max of four hours. It’s a little gps program and as your phone moves a little beacon will move with it on a map

Adding that right now^

Safety is important. This is the first I’ve heard of the taking a pic of his license. I just realized how weird I’d probably act in this situation and apparently it’d be seen as a red flag.

ALL OF THIS👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 BOOST!

reblogs again cuz this advice is on point

I ain’t giving anyone my license.

It’s lowkey illegal to have someone else’s drivers license info

It’s lowkey illegal to take a woman out on a date and chop her up and leave her remains in trash bags and no one knows who you are.

^^^^^^^

I am broke as shit, so I’m writing my best friend smut of my characters for her birthday present (which is WAY belated).  A-yup.  This is where I’m at with my life.  She’s a good person to put up with me.  I don’t even write particularly good smut.

royalslayer asked: for the book review thing: -willing to fight anything and anyone ever. ANYONE

Okay but you are 100% on point there.
