Then you'll hear why it's okay to grieve in your own way, and benefits of that type of individualized grieving.

  • Does anyone remember that time we had the exact thread on public? I tried looking for it but turned up blank and now I think it was all a delusion. Back in early 2000s or so.

  • I spend most of my work time in a windowsy environment but occasionally ssh to a solaris server to do stuff.   Sometimes I log in and forget what I'm there for, so I'll do "qw;bw;rm;rn;ql" then remember it's not Achaea.

  • i do 'say ...' on some instant messager app... awkward

  • I had a dream recently where I won a ticket to an Achaean concert/play in Portland, OR.  I went with a friend first, and then drug some relatives along to the second showing.  It involved a forestal character who became Mhaldorian (there was a ritual which involved snapping the neck of a beloved childhood toy made of wood.)  In the second showing, an audience member made a different "choice" (through like a little touchscreen by her chair) and the story went totally differently and ended earlier.  I was disappointed, because the first showing had cooler music.
