    I'm new, yay! I actually found this place from a Reddit post from the recent drama, and the fact it differed so greatly from Reddit is the reason I was so compelled to join. The layout feels really clean and smooth, I can't wait to visit here more often.

    Ohmigosh, I want to say one thing about my day before I talk about my weekend plans. Today I went to the doctors and they asked me some questions to make sure my information was up to date. One thing they asked was if I was still a student. Well, I actually graduated a couple of weeks ago with an Associate's degree so man, it felt so weird when that was asked. Like, no, I'm just unemployed now, woop woop.

    My weekend plan's so exciting, for some reason my family will be having a big party on the 3rd instead of the 4th. We're Russian, whatever - a party's a party. I'm pretty excited - we'll be eating delicious shashlik and hopefully my boyfriend and I will show my little sister how to play Settlers of Catan. And then I'm going to be very nervous the until I get back to my boyfriend's apartment because I have a bunch of potted plants there and it's been pretty hot here in Washington, so I'm worried they'll get parched and droopy because they wouldn't be getting water while we're away for the weekend.

    Oh man, I am so excited. It's 4:40 AM, I really ought to sleep. I dunno if I'll sleep, I'm pretty excited! I've been binging on Parks and Recreation recently, just finished season 2, and I think Ms. Knope's cheery personality is rubbing off on me. Which is good! I need that more.

    Oh, and I also bought Lord of the Flies on my smartphone, so I'm hoping to settle down and read that sometime soon! It sounds horrifyingly awesome.

    Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

      I love your enthusiasm! Are you sure you're not on drugs?

      I spent quite some time living in Washington. High five! Wait, depends on which Washington you mean.

      My best friend was Russian! Yeah! Now we don't talk.

      Give your plants a drip feed!

      Parks and Rec! I'm more of a Ron Swanson.

        Nope, not on drugs! Except for medically prescribed ear drops! *checks side-effects*
        Greater Seattle Area, Washington state!
        Sad you don't talk to your best friend now. :( I had the same thing happen with my friends too - fell out after high school graduation.
        Drip feed - oh that's a good idea! Like a water bottle or something.
        I like Ron Swanson too! He's so great. I like the bond with April and Ron, it's nice to see. I think I like all the characters. I feel bad for Jerry a lot. :( I actually disdained Chris Pratt before watching Parks & Rec, I had only seen him in Guardians of the Galaxy before, but now I like him much more. Such a good show!

      Congratulations. I still use my student card to get discounts in various places, even though I graduated about 2-3 years back now (the guys doing the check rarely know where to look). It feels weird when I think about it, I still feel really young at heart, even though just saying my age makes me feel super old.

        I like your profile picture - it's so cute!
        I never got an ID card from this college, funny enough. Even though it's free! I had an older one from a community college that I went to for a different Associate's degree, so I just kept using that for any school-discount-related-stuff. Usually printing at Kinko's. :P

          Thank you! Yours is pretty cute too. And you seem like a nice chill dude.

          I guess it's expected that our colleges would be different, given that we're on different sides of the planet too. I'm assuming you're from the US.

            I am sometimes chill! And I'm in the USA!

            Also, would you happen to know if there's a way to get notifications when someone responds to a comment or discussion I made? I was getting them last night, but this morning I haven't gotten any notifications for any of the posts in this conversation thread or any other posts all day. Wonder if I toggled something accidentally.

      Parks and Rec was a phenomenal show! I've been watching it lately, too, but I'm a bit farther along, a few episodes into season 7. You're in for a treat, the way the characters develop over the course of that show is great!

        That's good to hear! :) Such a cliffhanger right now - this season 2 ending. Can't wait to get started on season 3.

      Same here about finding this on a reddit post! I'm also pretty excited for the beginning of this anyway
