As much as i dont like being in crowds, I understand the frustration of concert goers in my country and how terrible the ticketing system is. This happens every concert regardless who is the artist/performer(s), something has to be done.

People shouldn’t be camping all night and spending hours of their lives in line only to find out that tickets were already sold out at the very start of the operating hours. People should not be stressing out staying up all night being the hundred thousandth person in line online for tickets.
Scalpers should really be apprehended.

some said, you should show one valid government id to purchase and limit the purchase to 2-4 tickets only per person. And bring that ID to the concert, where management can scan and it would show whether it matches with the person in front of them along with their friends.

So my dad and his girlfriend ambushed me with a conversation today.....about furries.
View attachment 70118
The conversation went well, but still, oof. That's a hard one to explain to a couple of baby-boomers.
Come to Pittsburgh. We love our furries! :P
We have Anthrocon here every year and most people I know (and me as well) think it's really fun to see all the con attendees when they're in town, especially the ones going around in their fursuits.

Yeah, that's one (of many) things i've been really happy about in recent years. Attitudes towards furries are really changing. It used to be the in thing to treat us all like we're cringe freaks. But now people are recognising we're just folks who express ourselves differently to others, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. I feel a lot safer talking about being a furry now than i did even just a few years ago. It's cool to hear Pittsburgh rather actively engages in that phenomenon too. :)
 
I did what I can for the exam week, the aftermath of self-sabotage affected me a lot.
One exam got moved on to another date next week, so it’s not over yet but we’re already entering the end part of this semester.

Why can’t I find a big notebook anywhere, like I’m talking 13 by 13 inches, I need to write a lot and i big letters.

I’ve been going through my pens, before one pen can last me for years.

I'm not sure if it's just that i'm really weird for doing this, but sometimes my mind will start conjuring up some kind of hypothetical scenario, and feeling really sad over the idea. For some reason i recently had one where i couldn't stop picturing somebody going to the painstaking effort of setting up one of those "guess how many x are in this jar" tables for a community event, and nobody caring. There's something about people making a real effort at something, and nobody noticing, that really gutpunches me emotionally.

So i spent like an hour unable to stop feeling bad for this hypothetical person my brain had come up with in a situation that wasn't happening. I felt so dumb for feeling that way too. I'm also that odd kind of person that feels sad for the chair at a meeting nobody sits in, god only knows why. Silver lining though, it's cool that i'm getting in touch with my feelings enough i don't feel particularly embarrassed these things happen any more. It's refreshing not to just shove that down in silence because "my feelings are stupid, and everyone is better off not hearing them."

I have that exact same kind of thing @Lisa the Goatgirl . When I feel one of those starting up, I instantly get anxious because they're malevolent. I don't know why they happen but most often when I'm starting to fall asleep.

I wish I knew how to stop them. Maybe it's from stuffed emotion on my part.
Thanks Seabird, really. Even though i would have been okay with it if it was just me, it still helps to hear that it's not. *hug

Yeah, i'm not really sure where they come from or what our minds are trying to achieve by doing it. The fact that you think it may be due to suppressing your emotions is interesting to me, cos i can't help but reflect that as i mentioned, until recently, i did that a lot too. It does feel almost like a micro-scale version of the way i'd need to listen to certain music or watch a sad movie or show if i needed to cry about something. It was the only way to get it to come out. And i wonder if these moments are some means our minds came up with to bring emotions to the surface we need to process.

It's also interesting it has a tendency to hit you as you're falling asleep. I wonder if that's because it's a moment where you're tired and too out of it to keep the walls up. 🤔
