I mean I'm not even really that fat (BMI of ~26) even if I do get really self-conscious about my waistline.

Can't ride a bike, but I do forty minutes of walking a day during lunchbreaks.

I don't do diets, weigh myself or look at BMI, but I take the approach that if I notice I'm eating more or a bit more unhealthily I need to do a bit more exercise and try to balance it out with a week or two of cutting down on treats. I'm neither skin and bones or a blubberbus, so I reckon things are probably okay.

Me: Instead of further triggering my eating disorder, I'll go on TET.

What says TET?

^ When logarithms infiltrated your RP. :P So it was basically for this character that fluctuates height. And her height can change wildly, so... even logs can't help.
And also because Math is my favorite subject.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

So a while ago i found out a little bit of information about my great great grandfather, and that he served in the labour corps of the British Military in WW1. Turns out prior to his transfer to the labour corps, he served in a service battalion in the Leinster Regiment and the 16th Irish Division, and served at Flanders and the Somme. He was awarded three medals, the 1914-1915 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.

Bit of a departure from his descendent's when it comes to their interaction with the british army :p

Feels a bit strange now knowing one of my ancestors fought in WW1
