My grandmother keeps sending me books on embroidery as if this is the middle ages ~~and that's all a woman is good for~~. I've decided to return the favor by sending her unlabeled chocolate-covered insects. Petty might be my new middle name.

	I will say this about my Gran, if she were to send one of those to me and my sister, she would also be sending it to my brothers. That being said, good for you. And if she complains, just let her know that insects are high in protein. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh no, my brothers get manly things like cigars and woodcarving bullshit. What if I want to play with knives? I'm the one with a damned pig foetus on my desk. I think I can handle something a little more substantial. /rant (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who wouldn't want to play with knives? Though I now think I've been put off bacon for awhile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's my question. Not a fan of dead baby animals in jars? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not particularly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah... That's most people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm rather normal that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 03:09 am UTC (link)
	I've never been very good at normal. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Do you have a pig foetus because of its similarity to human musculus-skelature? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 01:37 am UTC (link)
	... You give me too much credit. I have a pig foetus because it's cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encyclopedic 2017-07-07 01:40 am UTC (link)
	It can be cool and you can acknowledge the similarity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 01:45 am UTC (link)
	And yet acknowledging that doesn't help me in the slightest as it would help most with cycloptic children missing one arm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encyclopedic 2017-07-07 03:00 am UTC (link)
	Maybe, but most people don't realise this. Most people are idiots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 03:11 am UTC (link)
	This is true on both counts but what's the point of rehashing the same conversation of how dense most people are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encyclopedic 2017-07-07 03:17 am UTC (link)
	Because it makes me feel better about myself. Now that feelings time is over. what other creepy-cool things do you have on your desk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Fair enough. I've recently acquired a sculpture in a bell jar of a tree and a graveyard made of human hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encyclopedic 2017-07-07 03:45 am UTC (link)
	I've....acquired nothing. I am going book hunting later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 03:48 am UTC (link)
	And not inviting me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How are you with old, twitchy, Japanese men? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 04:50 am UTC (link)
	Honestly, it's never come up. Probably the same as I am with most everyone though - incredibly Scottish. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encyclopedic 2017-07-07 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	You can come if you want, just don't ask me to translate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	Best not. I like to know when people are insulting me. Why would I ask you to translate, though? Isn't Jiang a Chinese surname? Why would you know Japanese? Even still, I don't know if you're multilingual at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	encyclopedic 2017-07-07 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	It is, but I actually know more Japanese than Chinese. Learned enough of it when I was at Mahoutokoro to allow me a passable conversation about esoteric knowledge but not to order sushi at a restaurant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2017-07-07 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	Go fucking figure. You really should learn to order food though. I'd think that would be a far more common conversation than esoteric--no, nevermind. With you, the exact opposite is true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
