Dagur LinkLeo's fortune is the only mobile game I've enjoyed playing. It's not free but I definitely don't regret buying it.Leo's fortune is the only mobile game I've enjoyed playing. It's not free but I definitely don't regret buying it.

Comment on This is a popular question on askreddit, but since Tildes is a slightly different beast I am curious: Have you ever encountered a ghost or UFO before (or something similarly spooky/inexplicable)? in ~talk

Then when I'd found the next piece and went to get the first one it wasn't there. It wasn't even there when I stood up and looked around, it had just vanished. this happened a couple of times.
Now I also know that those pieces are called k'nex. I never knew what they were called.

She felt like someone was watching her and it wasn't until the day after that she learned that he had died. For the next couple of days she felt strange and eventually went to a psychic to try and figure what was bothering her. The psychic, without knowing what my mom was coming to her about asked her if someone she knew had recently died to which she answered yes. The psychic then eventually out of the blue asks her if that persons name was "X" which was correct. The psychic then told her that he was there with them and said some more things that were true, my mom was baffled, she hadn't told her anything but the psychic was able to guess that a person close to her had just died, his name and more. After that visit the feeling of being watched went away.
I'm kinda skeptical about these things but my mom is so convinced that I am as well sometimes. She's also talked about hearing hello's coming from the door when she's relaxing in bed and just today she told me she thought someone was knocking at the door when no one was.
I like to believe that there is something else out there and that some can notice it more than others. I know it sounds strange but I've sometimes heard taps in my room at night that aren't my monitor cracking and they just keep going until I acknowledge them. I once told the darkness in my room to stop with the tapping because I couldn't sleep and then it stopped.

Comment on What language are you currently learning and why? And how do you do it? in ~talk

I was never much of a language person but I was able to understand some Danes if they talked slowly and if I wanted to I could almost talk to someone and order food.
German was alright, when I graduated I could understand just a little bit but not a lot, I could barely form sentences that made some sense and I was never bothered enough to learn the grammar well. I however was able to understand a small boy that walked past me. He was arguing with his little sister about if I was a girl or a boy since I've got long hair.

I think it's just such an interesting thing. If you need something you can just make it at home, don't necessarily have to go out and buy it. I've learned so much from tinkering with it and its settings. 3D printers are pretty neat and will hopefully continue to get better and cheaper.

I hated math as a kid because no matter how hard I tried I never did well but I pulled myself together and when I graduated highschool 2 weeks ago I graduated with the highest grade in physics and one of the higher grades in math.
After that I now know that I can turn things around. Just because you're bad at something doesn't mean you'll be bad at it forever.
And losing a bunch of weight. I guess I'm pretty happy about that too.

I'm hoping for really nice conversations on here, maybe similar to and better than r/casualconversation which I've been browsing a lot lately. Reddit can have the memes, I just want to discuss things.

Also have a pair of wireless Jaybird X 3's that I use when running. I don't really like them though, think that my old beats X were a lot better in every way when it came to practicability.

It's my job to make sure the guides have everything they need, I wash dishes, buy food, prepare tents for some trips, charge torches, make sure they have everything they need for glacier walks and a lot more.
No day is the same and I really enjoy it.

I know it's wrong to think like that, I think it's terrible.
I think that a lot of recent news regarding Isis and all the terrorism have affected me which is scary. I don't want to think like this, I want to learn about them from many angles and not just the one media portraits them as.
Hollywood is by far my favorite. They haven't released it but they played it live in Germany a few weeks ago, should be somewhere on YouTube. It's chill summer vibes which I'm really in to at the moment.
