Upvoted for the tamagotchi / virtual pets. The other stuff, too, but mostly the virtual pets.

Yes, teachers are mandated reporters. They will be able to get the ball rolling.

Somewhat haphazardly. I typically listen to multiple genres in one session as well. What I usually do is if I hear a song I like that's not already in a playlist (or if I like it enough that I want it in multiple playlists), I'll chuck it in at the end of one. Then when I have downtime I play around with the song order so that I like how each song transitions to the next. I enjoy doing that as a way to unwind. This method isn't great if you're the type that needs everything organized all the time though since my playlists are usually in some level of a work in progress state! The names are very boring - P01, P02, etc. I also have some playlists that are more themed, for instance a road trip playlist with more upbeat songs. I'll usually play around with that one based on who is road tripping with me and what type of music I think they'll enjoy.

Honestly, nothing crazy. Things that have elecited reactions include traveling all over the place solo, scuba diving, sky diving, hopping into a four seater plane when it's raining and foggy, getting up in front of people singing... Nothing really big, but the number of times people have said, "I could never do that!" that have coincided with me thinking, "This conversation is way more stressful than that!" is kind of funny.

I do a lot of things that people are afraid to do and it feels so easy for me… and yet simple social interaction can be so incredibly stressful.

Also Moldovia drinks the most alcohol but is 9th in wine, 10th in spirits and doesn't even rank top 10 in any of the other categories...

The librarian at my school says "liberry."

One winter evening I got a notification about possible fraudulent charges on my credit card. I had not in fact gone to Redbox twice that day, so I told them to replace the card. I got home and really had to pee so I beelined it to the bathroom. It occurred to me that it was really cold inside for some reason, and when I got out of the bathroom I noticed the living room window was open. Then I looked around and noticed that on my way to the bathroom I had walked past a bunch of drawers and cabinets that were also open.

Luckily not much of consequence got stolen. Whoever it was probably didn't have a car because everything that was taken was small. We had a nice TV and my ex had a nice computer that were both still there. On my end, I was missing that credit card (I had accidentally left it on my desk after making an online purchase) and my wedding and engagement rings. I was in the middle of a divorce and wasn't going to keep them anyway, so hopefully someone else got some enjoyment out of them.

This is one of those things that, if I can was in another country, if someone were to describe the base ingredients (like not literally spam but "pork" or whatever), I would think, "Not for me most of the time, but sounds like a tasty thing to try once."

Oh that one was was going on constantly the last month or so of school!

Good to know!
