Pour Some Sugar On Me

because you cannot, you CANNOT, build a barn on your own, and without it, you will not be able to survive. 

I think people aren’t giving the internet enough credit.

You grow up being told how great capitalism is and then you get online and find out that people in other countries have the same standard of living we do but without the constant fear of bankruptcy.

You grow up thinking “going to the doctor is expensive, don’t get sick and if you do don’t go until you’re sure you HAVE to” and then you find out most of the developed world can go to the doctor for free, or at least for a very affordable rate.

You grow up thinking “Work hard and be successful and you can retire at 65 and travel a little.” and then you get online and find out pretty much all of Europe gets weeks and weeks of vacation time a year and is doing their travelling in their 20s and 30s and loving it.

The list goes on and on. I grew up in the conservative south and it wasn’t an uncommon conversation starter when I was a kid for people to open up with things like “What church do you go to?” and so that’s what I thought the world was. Church and working for the weekend and be careful to save your pennies and not splurge and don’t get sick. It wasn’t until the internet appeared that I realized how differently a lot of people live and how much more appealing a lot of that sounded.

On September first I'm unemployed again, if I don't find a job.

I'm not worried. My healthcare for the year is paid. I'll get unemployment benefit for the (hopefully short) time I'm between jobs. So I'll be able to pay my mortgage and other bills. I have a college degree, savings, I've paid all my hospital bills without issues. I can afford my ADHD meds without any issues.

I see all these deprecating posts joking about millennials never bring homeowners. But half my friend are homeowners. I'm 29. I bought my apartment when I was 27.

Can track prey for hours without losing focus

Special interest: basket weaving

Always fidgeting - banging rocks together and discovers flint-knabbing

Distracted by berries

Stimming by making noises, discovers the sksksk that lures out squirrels

Can't sleep at night, great at guarding the cave while family sleeps

Sensitive senses means discovering and refusing to eat rotten/poisonous food

Sees bird eat nut - impulsively tries it too and discovers that nuts taste good

Cons of having ADHD:

Can't do homework

Impulse buys

Can't use a calendar

1. Dany legitimized Gendry as a power play looking for the loyalty of a great house. Tyrion pointed out that she was buying Gendry’s loyalty.

2. Cut to the point here; Gendry’s in love with Arya. He told her the lordship wouldn’t mean anything without her. His loyalty can’t be bought.

3. Arya refused simply because she doesn’t want to be a lady or deny him happiness not totally realizing that he just told her she’s his happiness.

4. He doesn’t have a single clue how to be a lord.

5. They cut away from the reveal scene between the Starks very oddly. More was said that we don’t know. Plans have been made.

6. The Hound, Arya’s surrogate father, knows Gendry is in love with her and they’re once again going on a gd road trip. Conveniently to the same place Gendry is going.

The ideas of love, sex, and marriage were fairly complicated in Winterfell this week. Gendry Baratheon, finally a legitimized lord, proposed to Arya Stark and our girl turned him down with some very familiar words: “that’s not me.” 

We heard these words again in Season 7 when Arya encountered her direwolf Nymeria. After the Stark family pet rejects her offer to return home to the warmth and comfort of Winterfell, Arya realizes she has grown and is on her own now, just like her.

The direwolves are supposed to be extensions of their owners, so the notion of Nymeria wanting to run as wild as Arya should come as no surprise.
