Good morning, Isle Royale! Today, let's celebrate being human by sharing all of those little mistakes we've all made so nobody has to feel alone. You know the ones I'm talking about- the late night Amazon buys that sounded like a good idea at 2 AM, the moments of weakness when we've gone trawling through social media accounts belonging to exes, the bad decisions that a fourth drink convinced us weren't nearly as risky as we thought until we found ourselves playing chicken with literal chickens.

What? They're mean. Ask anyone.

Call in now, or throw me a post here, and let's feel a little less alone in the fact that sometimes, impulse control fails us all. We're also taking song requests until 9 AM!

	Does getting woo'd by a lovely, adoring man and putting your foot in your mouth count? Because I certainly did that more than a few times. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I'm pretty sure that it's a universal condition for brains and tongues to seize up and turn stupid in the face of attraction. Like we've all done the thing, with the staring or the stammering or the blurting out something completely insane, and hey, usually we recover. Sometimes we have to run away first, in which case my go-to excuse is, "I've just remembered that my grandmother's on fire," which is a great reason to literally run from whatever stupid thing I've said before that one.

Also, guaranteed they only remember the grandmother thing later. It's very distracting.

	There we go, a perfect example. Silly mistake, can happen to anybody, and you just hope you catch it before your milk gets really weird, possibly gains sentience, and then assaults you for mistreating it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At the same time? Ambitious, though also possibly in need of some kind of medical supervision. At this stage of my life, I think giving up caffeine would kill me. Or at least send most of my organs, brain included, into some kind of shock. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
