I never saw my parents together so for embarrassingly long I believed they didn't know each other at all.
I was a flower girl in my father's wedding at the age of 7. Bet his missis wasn't delighted but her crotch goblins were not out of the nappies yet. The party was fab tho, proper village long table with prolly about hundred people in the middle of nowhere with a lot of live music, food and vodka.
I was in my teens (living with my grandma the whole life) when my mother asked if I want to come to the nearest town for family photos on Saturday and I said yeah no, it's sauna day you know. Turned out I missed my mother's wedding because I had to wash my hair. Still joined them in the afternoon for my mom's birthday and as it turned out the afterparty. So yeah, technically I have attended both my parents' weddings.
Had one of those electric bug zappers on the wall at work what was hooked to a wall switch. I taped it in ON position with a note 'keep on' and every once in a while some eager closer picked off the tape to switch it off along with the other ones in the row.
My alarm cannot be anything with a real melody or I will hum it for hours on. I use some default tune what's more of a trill, does the job. My text/email alert used to be popping the bottle cap sound, my current phone has some brrp noise close enough to a fart to make me giggle - I'm old but not mature.
As for ring tones, I used to purchase some for pocket change from the last page of the tv guide. All fun and games until all the old relatives started dropping like flies. It just doesn't feel right to get an invitation to another funeral preceded by the Scissors Sisters 'I don't feel like dancing' or Eamon's 'fuck you'. For a long time my ring tone was the old school land line ringing. From the moment I was able to choose the ring tone from my playlist it has been 'Heavy Cross' by Gossip. I feel it's suitable for all occurrences while being only mine.
Disclaimer: I've only seen Furryiosa on pics and videos but it looks like she is not albino but merely a white cat with a bit of pigmented skin between the ears and maybe on the butt. She reminds me so much of my late Blondie who had one long black hair on her hip and 3-4 on her mullet as a kitten. I admit my vanity, I plucked them out with tweezers and they never grew back but that didn't turn a white cat into an albino. Hears what she chooses to as they do
When people ask me where I'm from and the question is justified, I tell them and briefly describe the geographical position of my very small homeland. If anyone asks just to be nosy, I say I'm legal and stare them down. When the race is relevant like in GPs office, I'm white European/other. All depends on situation I'm asked.
Before or after shrinkflation?
