mosquitoes have the nerve, the audacity, the unmitigated gall to come into my home, where I pay the bills, and suck the blood out of my veins—veins I’ve had for 22 years

I can’t believe I actually lived though the full transition from VHS to DVD. Like there are people alive who have never seen a VHS tape….I remember when we were still tryna figure out how the fuck they got a full movie onto a cd.

Older person on Facebook: Us too, so badly needed as well. Tell your mom I said hi. How is the family? Tell everyone hi from us. We miss you all so much. Wish we could be there. You're a beautiful young woman.

ohana means family. family means having your life choices questioned and your flaws pointed out to you
My family started watching S2 of Once Upon A Time, in Italian, and you know the bit in the first ep when Snow rambles on about what she and Emma shouldn't have talked about?
SNOW: We talked about things we probably shouldn’t have even talked about. One night stands...
DAVID: One night stands?
SNOW: Whale.
DAVID: Whale?!
SNOW: We were cursed. That is neither here nor there.
And I thought, it's fine, because "one night stand" is an unknown concept to kids, it's a line for us adults that up to a certain age you can sort of gloss over. But the translation given by the Italian dubbing was: "occasional sex", which leaves NOTHING to the imagination (my brother had a laughing fit) and brands the show as non-child friendly.
I'm not saying there could have been a better translation, for all I know it was inevitable and maybe kids don't really watch the show anyway. It just threw me a bit when I heard it, when it merely made me smile when I first watched the episode in English.
Me: What are you getting me for Christmas?
15-year-old brother: A tip.
Me: Money? You're giving me money? I'm your sister!
15-year-old brother: That's what Iron Man does.
Me: ...
15-year-old brother: ...
Me: ...
15-year-old brother: That's Tony Stark
Me: I BLOODY WELL KNOW WHO HE IS!
My mum found out she can call me via facebook too. Hilarity ensued.
and there I was, blissfully skypeing with my mum...
WHEN A FLIPPING EARTHQUAKE SHAKE MADE THE CHANDELIER SWING! And I can do fuck all about it obviously because I am miles away in a different country and my mum is yelling at my brother to get out of the house and... and... our wifi doesn't reach outside the house. I hate earthquakes. I hate Italy for having earthquakes.
