I made a silly joke with a cashier who seemed to genuinely laugh at it. I'm still riding that high 24 hours later.

Day 28 of posting from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows until the world makes sense: And it's so awkward when it turns out they were waving at someone behind you. 💙📚

While we're randomly renaming things for no reason:

How do I travel to the Back to the Future Part 2 timeline? Where is my hoverboard! We were promised hoverboards!

Oh no....am I old?

Day 27 of posting from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows until the world makes sense: Isn't this just another way of saying you have Imposter Syndrome? I should know, I have it right now. 💙📚

Sleep Token suddenly dropping cryptic clues online for a potential new album or something might just be the thing to get me through the rest of the year.

Instead of sleeping I like to plan a 7 book epic fantasy series that I can't wait to start when I wake up...then immediately forget the whole thing by sunrise. #booksky💙📚 #writing

So...uh... *gesturing broadly at everything*...what the hell is going on?

Day 26 of posting from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows until the world makes sense: The grass may not always be greener on the other side but I applaud those people who took a chance to achieve what they always wanted. 💙📚

Day 25 of posting from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows until the world makes sense: Usually had in the shower. At least in my experience. 💙📚

Day 24 of posting from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows until the world makes sense: I think everyone on #BookSky will understand this feeling. Like saying goodbye to a close friend. 💙📚

The ONLY time it is appropriate to ask a woman if she is pregnant is if you are in the birthing suite and the baby is crowning...but even then, probably don't ask.

It's more important than ever that we need to teach kids the importance of staying informed while also giving them the skills to combat misinformation. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Live, Laugh, Laugh, Laugh, Laugh....Keep Laughing.... Don't Stop Laughing.... LAUGH...LAUGH!!!...HAHAHAHA!.............Love.

Day 23 of posting from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows until the world makes sense: It's been so hot here lately I could really do with a thunderstorm right about now ⛈️ 📚💙

So I'm starting a Masters program this year and had to do an Academic Integrity course. Apparently my plans to breed people with sharks to create real life Street Sharks would be considered "unethical". Again progress is stopped by people with no vision for the future.

Day 22 of posting from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows until the world makes sense: I don't know about the rest of you but I keep feeling like my Til is getting lower and lower.

What would impress you most on a first date? Magic tricks or a sick yo-yo routine?

A fortnight is called a fortnight because it's Fourteen Nights 🤯

Anyone?
