What is the first thing you do after you check into a hotel room?
Unpack.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Make sure I am connected to the internet

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not just in the head of the Cassiepants. It totally changes the conversation.
I'm not sure if I'm blowing every ounce of social capital, or if I even have a voice that's heard anymore, or maybe I'm overtired and PMSy or what, but I have a huge screaming ball of DO NOT WANT at the thought of images here. Not because of not wanting to share kids and weddings, but because I need a place that isn't full of the same fucking image macros that are everywhere. I like that this is a word place, and I'm basically fighting tears at the thought of it changing because so many other places I've loved have died or turned to passive looking-at-not-talking headache-inducing oh god stopping now.
I like that we give context to our image links by the way we introduce them into the flow of conversation. I even like it that there's a non-trivial risk (and a certain thrill/danger) when someone doesn't, because that's part or the conversation too. I like that we have real voices. Even those of you I haven't met offline. And I deeply fear losing the voices in my head.

Plug in my phone.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I turn on the tv, for some reason, then unpack.

Get comfy. Probably take ff my shoes, bra, and possibly pants. ;)

Not every thought needs to be shared. You'd think I'd learned that by now.

I do like the wordiness of here. I wouldn't mind the ability to have an avatar again, but I don't need a bufftumblr.

No social capital blown at all, amych. I'm confident that your feelings are shared by many. We are talky meat! I can see the usefulness of pictures in some threads as has been suggested. But I get plenty of graphics on Facebook, ok I understate, too many, and there are many sources for awesome tumblr content, most of which I found linked here.
I think it is a useful discussion to explore the possibilities and the only way we know where we stand is to speak up. I loved the avatars we used to use. I don't know which threads might be enhanced with images, if any. I don't know what technical changes would be required.
That said, when I get to the hotel room I plug in my phone and computer. Then unpack.

After posting I looked at my Message Center to see if any of my subscribed threads might be enhanced with pictures. (I don't subscribe to many) The 2 that popped out were Spoilers and Good Riddance. I can see where pictures are a good part of the narrative in those threads.
