Pet names I currently love
Leeloo
Walter
Overheard a girl at the grocery store talking about how she named her cat Multipass, and that is just the greatest thing ever. But it doesn’t flow as well as Leeloo. I also really like very proper-sounding boy names, and Mr. White’s has the bonus that he’s a complete bamf.
Other awesome pet names?

The Happiness Ratio
Research shows that negative experiences are more memorable than positive experiences. You could have a great day, tons of compliments, but one insult will be the thing you can’t get out of your head.
3:1
As a general rule, for every one negative experience you have in life, you should actively engage in three positive experiences to offset the negative experience’s impact.
So if...

neoncrayon replied to your post: Counseling is Weird.
Wow, I really enjoyed reading this post. To see a counselor twice in a week is a luxury! I’m finishing my English degree at Reed College in Portland, but am thinking of becoming a therapist myself. Are you in a psychology graduate program then?
Well then I’m the wealthiest of wealthy! I see my psychoanalyst four times a week. But...

Am I the last person to find out about this site? Stay in someone’s apartment/house/spare room, some of which are incredibly nice, around the world, for cheaper than a hotel?

Counseling is Weird.
Especially when your clients are right around your age.
I counsel at a tiny college. As in, I didn’t even know there were colleges this small: 850 students total. The counseling center is the clinical psychologist on staff (my supervisor), me, and one other practicum student who is there on different days than I.
This means that everybody knows everyone else—it’s like one big...

Statues
So I saw this photo of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro (by Ricardo Zerrenner), and I always thought it had to be the biggest statue in the world.
Maybe it’s because it’s at the peak of a mountain dwarfing the city below, but boy, was I wrong. I started looking through this list of statues throughout the world by height, and found some very interesting things.
The tallest...

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
So the other Reindeer hated Rudolph, used to laugh at him and call him names.
Santa’s in a bind one night because it’s foggy, figures he can validate Rudolph’s existence for the first time ever, just because he was born with a bright red nose!
Now all the other Reindeer love him. Not because of who Rudolph is as an individual, but because Santa recognized the usefulness of the...

Photo Collection #1
I’m always finding photos around the internet that I love, but can’t find credit for anywhere. Well, instead of letting them come and go in an instant, I’m going to start collecting them from time to time in meta posts, both for my own posterity and for offering the viewer a more comprehensive viewing experience than one lone image. And hey, if you recognize any of the...
