tune in next time for 800 words about the first thing I ever bought on amazon

I searched my email for in the aeroplane over the sea and I found the cover my high school boyfriend recorded for me as part of an album of love song covers. looked him up and he's out winning awards at the cool film festivals. I guess he was cooler than me then and also now. (I am also old.)

I'm 57 and I *also* feel like a perpetual 17 year old. I keep waiting for some kind of magical enlightenment where I don't feel like I'm just faking being an adult.

Gawd, I remember being 6 and looking at teens as if they were the sages of all wisdom. Now I'm in my 40s, and the folk in their 30s inspire in me a bit of a protective mom feeling. That being said, I consider many people younger than me to be wiser than I ever was at their age. I mean, I remember putting oil on my skin ON PURPOSE to get a tan, and reading cruddy relationship advice in Seventeen!

@skullhouse Damn, that IS cool. Sadly listening to NMH did not result in long-term coolness for me

@divergentrays It is sort of comforting that it seems to be like that for everyone. @dicjournal Agree! I have a 12-year-old niece who is very smart about stuff that I was totally naive to at her age. I remember fully believing that an "alien autopsy" photo I saw on the internet was 100% real, lmfao. But my niece is out here lecturing her grandparents to not believe everything they see online 😂

I'm in my mid 20's. I feel ancient when I'm in the internet

just some aspirational travel content for you

ah London, like a New York with a different accent

idk whats better, neopets or travel

but if we don't leave all that trash out, what will the foxes eat?

@babywormcore Neopets has made me cry less

I've never been. I had no idea.

not even the only trashy city in this corner of the world! seen some other surprisingly littery city centres in my event traversals...

To be fair, I only noticed trash dunes in one small part of London. Everywhere else had normal amounts of litter

Rubbish, Primark and Love Island... truly you have fully experienced our culture

It was the first time I'd ever heard of Love Island... I was transfixed. and confused. so confused.

My name is Hammy Birthday Cake

These are always fun but the quotes from the kids are hilarious. The middle name is very powerful.

I really love your horoscopes

I'm taking my horoscope to heart. It just seems true.

me: you're the goat of the sea! my wife: you're goddamned right I am

thank you i have been very sleepy so i will take this advice to keep napping

I like my horoscope. I'm claiming it hardcore. There ARE a lot of murders here.

as a taurus with a summer bucket list that only has a few more items left to cross off, i'm really feeling this!!

My favorite pencil memory is when I lent a stub of a pencil to a friend in high school. He sharpened it real good and gave it back to me the next day. During the handoff, though, it stabbed me in the palm and stuck there. I remember staring at it for a moment before realizing that I should panic; then I shook it out. I still have a gray mark there. Pencil tattooed me.

wow, hardcore Skep out here with an edgy pencil tattoo

here's a poem about a pencil: https://worldwideshen.neocities.org/writing/pencil and here's my bit list of answers: https://worldwideshen.neocities.org/about/100webmaster#other

neigh!

lol that reminds me of a time when i dropped a pencil on the floor in my room but my hands were full of whatever else i was carrying so i didnt stop to pick it up. ended up totally forgetting about it but was rudely reminded of it when my bare foot found it. it jabbed right into the side knuckle part of my big toe and i had to pull it out. it hurt for a few days but i had the pencil mark for several years

oh my lil brother also has a pencil tattoo! when we were little, doing homework together, i was tapping my pencil (tip down) on the table and he was tapping his palm on top of the end of the pencil. i turned the pencil around, thinking it was funny but also he was tapping much slower and i thought he would surely have time to stop. well he didnt see it and got stabbed......

Personally I come to your website specifically for the pencil content. Never change.

You're in luck. It's all pencils all the time from here on out

I have a pencil palm tattoo, too. I was trying to get a pencil out of my desk in second grade and it must have been jammed in a spot because it suddenly yanked free and stabbed me right in the middle of the palm. I don't think I even told my parents, for whatever reason. Should we start some kind of gang?

Pencil nostalgia is good nostalgia. Nothing beats a perfectly sharp Ticonderoga.

love the tank top!! and the fringe would be fun to mess with throughout the day. a built-in fidget toy, if you will.

It's so much cooler that you made your own. Love it!

That looks great! The embroidery turned out fab, even if it was a pain to do.

so cute.
