When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll “Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?”. Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly “Borg Cube”, but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.
So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said “Death Star”.
So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.
I am about to run out of my regular body lotion and the only other body lotion I own is, for some reason, glittery, but I know Mum has bought me some for Christmas. So I have a decision to make for the next week and I’m not sure I like the way it’s heading.
I just found out that Taylor Swift uses an Olympus/OM camera, which is the brand that I use and as a 32 year old woman I am a little embarrassed by how delighted that makes me.
I wrapped a Christmas present at my desk. I put the wrapping stuff to the side. Like, 2 minutes later I decided actually I will wrap some more presents while I’m here. I grabbed the wrapping stuff again. I can’t find my scissors ANYWHERE. I did not move from my desk chair during the entire series of events. They’re just GONE. Get me Poirot!!!!
I had put them in the pen pot, which I have literally never done before in my entire life.

I am listening to a podcast about Jagged Little Pill and they’re talking (very positively!) about how it is an album for teenage girls, and they’re absolutely right, but also it’s very funny to me because of course, I got really into it as a teenage girl and other teenage girls around me were getting into it but I was already aware of it because my dad had it on CD.
