ME: I remember these Super Mario 64 levels being a lot bigger.

MY BROTHER: Harder, too. Remember the hours of frustrated attempts to get a single star? And oh god the 100-coin challenges.

ME: You know what’s really sad? This means that while we could never be assed to practice things like martial arts or our respective musical instruments or such skills, we actually practiced video games like FIENDS.

MY BROTHER: You’re right!

ME: Figures the one thing we’d become virtuosos at is the most useless talent ever.

MY BROTHER: If only viola had been half as motivating.


Also, forgot to link to this before, in case you haven’t seen it: You are hereby invited to write fanfic about John Scalzi as an orc and Wil Wheaton in his infamously ugly sweater riding a unicorn pegasus kitten in front of a volcano. If you’re like me, though, you can’t possibly do it* because every time you click the link you see the illustration and then you fall down laughing.


*Even though I suddenly want to write self-insert, because really who doesn’t want to hang out with John Scalzi and Wil Wheaton?

Now that I'm getting more into the Job Hunt, it's really being driven home just how commercially useless my most developed skills are.

I know, right? If only they'd let me play to my strengths. Just because it's completely useless doesn't mean it isn't a highly developed skill!

Granted, I did, in fact, find a moment in my clothing retail job where a skill I didn't even know I'd developed actually came in handy. I was apparently the best damn mannequin-dresser my boss had ever seen. All those years of playing with dolls finally paid off!

*laughs* When you mentioned Will Wheaton in an ugly sweater, the first thing that came to mind was the costumes they made him wear on Star Trek...
