Please give me excuses to talk about my hyperfixations (again)
Dec. 5th, 2025 20:07rydra_wongCurrently trying to support a friend in a Very Bad Situation and it's desperately anxiety-inducing and my brain is trying to eat itself, which also makes me less useful as support, which is bad.
So if anyone would like to ask or discuss anything about Prophet or Dark Souls or IWTV or climbing or, you know, any of the somewhat cheering topics I sometimes ramble about, PLEASE DO. "More of a comment than a question" questions also very welcome.
I cannot guarantee replies in a timely or consistent manner (because of the Situation and also the bad state of my brain) but it would be deeply appreciated nonetheless.
Except that THANK FUCK my friend is now out of the Very Bad Situation (and please let him remain so, please please please).
My brain is just trying to eat itself because it's prone to doing that and it's been a very very hard year (and I'm having yet another IC flare-up, joy).
This Wedding Wreck Is A Real Stretch

cakewrecks_feedToday Judy L. shares with us "The Inspiration"...
...
... and "The Devastation":
Or, as I like to call it, "The Reason I Can't Stop Laughing."
(But only because "The Leaning Tower of Pisa Crap" is just a little too mean. :D)

P.S. I've been shopping for the best Christmas lights to hang outside this year, and I think you'll like what I bought:
BrizLabs Color-Changing Christmas Lights
This is a 115 feet of LED lights, which you can change from warm white to multi-color to any combination of the two! They have 11 different settings like "slo-glow" and "breathing," a remote control, and even built-in timers. All for $27! This is the best price for the most features I've found, plus they have great reviews, which is a must for me.
John & I installed 3 strands of these beauties last weekend, and they. are. GORGEOUS. Highly recommend.

The Blizzard of Odd
Dec. 4th, 2025 14:00cakewrecks_feedIt's only three weeks 'til Christmas, bakers. Quick! THROW PLASTIC CHRISTMAS FLOTSAM ON EVERYTHING!
Oh come on, man. PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT!
That's better.
Now, go make some cupcake cakes {PATOOIE!} that defy all laws of logic and common sense. DO EEET!
Yessss, and use sprinkles instead of colored icing! GENIUS!
I don't know what's happening here, but I like where your head's at.
Ok, now make a Christmas King Cake, because it's been WAY too long since those things got me in trouble:
Of COURSE you can still use the purple sprinkles and little plastic baby, silly! It's a King Cake! But for Christmas! AND THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE!
Now pass the eggnog, and let's go flash people on the street with our ugly Christmas sweaters for tinsel!
WHOAH THERE, St. Nick. I said flash our sweaters!
And you call yourself a saint. REALLY.
Thanks to Daisy B., Andrea J., Ginny V., Lizz, Holly H., & Christine V. for the cup of holiday HELLOOOOOO, Santa.

P.S. It is possible our obsession with gnomes has gone too far?

I'm going to try and get the one interview reflection done tonight, and then take a break. (I'd aim for both, but they're both minimum two pages, and I'm not sure I have enough juice for that.) I want to go ahead and make the Paid Time for Mood Themes announcement on
moodthemeinayear, but alas, I must use my brain power for this, instead 😩Edit: First reflection paper is done! Time to dig out my notes from the other interview and contemplate at least starting the second one.
Edit 2: Intro to HS reflection paper started, basics of getting paid time for mood theme completion posted to

Are You Smarter Than A Wreckerator?
Dec. 3rd, 2025 14:00cakewrecks_feedFriends, if you'll indulge me, I'd like to take a moment and wax poetical about the world's somewhere-between-17th-and-52nd best education system.
You see, here in the States we learn everything we need in life, from the very basics:
(The difference between an apple and a bell pepper is more advanced.)
...to spelling and punctuation:
...to those oh-so-vital math skills.
We also have more advanced studies of the human, um... whatever this is:
I'm pretty sure that's butt stuff.
Here we're encouraged to keep writting(s?):
...to keep our stars shinning:
...and to always enhance that one student's mind's 2013:
That one's a little confusing, I'll grant you.
Because here in the US we honor our honor stundels:
...encouraging them to Imagin a world where they can Acheive their dreams:
A world where, say, all you have to do is copy little plastic signs for a living.
...from the very beginning of the school year:
...to the bitter(sweet?) end.
Yay.
Thanks to Janel J., Anony M., Kate B., Brittany J., Juli K., Anony M., Linda R.., Rae L., Tanya, Janica C. & Laura B. for the education.

P.S. Because I bet we could all use a drink after that:
"Santa's Flask" Stocking Booze Dispenser
This stocking can hold an entire bottle of wine! Better get two.
