I also looked through the pictures and I ended up getting inspired to go buy some sock organisers 
but then I was getting them through Amazon and I needed to add more to qualify for delivery so I also got some headphone organisers, and then I also got a desktop organiser, and then I also got a shelf to go in the bath because I keep getting aching arms if I try to read in there... Someone should really suspend my internet buying privileges.

My sock drawer is a disaster area. Maybe I should make some sock organisers. Hmmm. You could probably do it with some shoe boxes and extra cardboard. Hmmmmm I say!
I wish someone would throw me some spending money. I really want the new Halloween Pusheen socks at hot topic. That shit my jam.
Anybody know where to shop for the scary cute shit?

If you go to american sites they're starting to get Halloween stuff. Yay!
Halloween is my favorite. I wish it was year round. Dammit.
Ahhh. I realized that after I looked closer. Silly me.\
That's cool you know some though. Do you know any other languages?

I am fluent in Flemish, French and English, speak German and Italian enough to use it properly at work and understand enough of Chinese/Japanese to get by when shopping online :'D

So jealous. I'm terrible at learning languages. I think it's a mix of bad memory and lack or discipline. Lol.
I can read most hiragana but if I don't know the word I don't know what it says. And I don't know many of the words. Lol.

I'm lucky that I was exposed to many languages when I was growing up, as Belgium is trilingual c:
So I grew up watching German and French tv as well as Flemish, and then I've loved Harry Potter since forever and started with the books in English. Helps to have an early start.

I was relearning my French before we went to Paris, doing daily practice on Duolingo because I had got a bit rusty. I found that even when I got back into the place where I could easily think in French, I now have the same issue that I have when I'm speaking English - with my short term memory totally busted as it is, I sometimes just can't think of the simplest word even when I know I know it. Kind of awkward because the way the memory gaps work, I can't even think of talking around the word like I would if I straight-up didn't know it (eg saying "not small" if you don't know the word for "big"). So I just kind of stare off into space with my mouth opening and closing uselessly :/
I was going to learn Korean, well in fact I did get started, but I feel a little hopeless now. Maybe I'll wait and see if I can get some new medication which will help my memory a bit.

That is good. If I was ever to have a kid I would have them watch shows in all kinds of languages so they could learn. Because I sure wouldn't be able to teach them. lol.
It took me forever to learn to read English because no one could be bothered to spend some time with me helping me learn. Jerk family.
I have issues remembering words in English an annoying amount of times. Thankfully my husband is pretty good at figuring out what the heck I am trying to say. I also have an issue where my voice just abandons me and I try to communicate through the tiny bit of sign language I know and gesturing. It's incredibly frustrating.
