Forums » Smalltalk » That Moment When....

.... you have actually managed to reply to all your open RPs and are waiting for replies....

(This has never happened with me before yesterday)

I’ve gotten a few replies today while working so I’m “behind” again as usual, but it felt weird to be on them all and I had to resist starting new ones.


So... do you all have any of these ‘That Moment When...’ moments?

That moment when everybody needs you at once. I had two close online friends that had really harrowing experiences yesterday, and Sandra had shoulder surgery this morning (she's ok but can't use her dominant hand for at least a few days), and my mom already doesn't have the use of one hand (but it's her nondominant hand), so my mom was actually the most functional of the two of them (between Sandra and her). But yeah, I don't know what it is about today but everything seems to be happening at once today. It's not stressful for me, just a challenge to properly juggle, but I feel very needed today. It's a nice feeling, even though I wish the things the people are going through weren't things that they are going through.

Anyway...

Yeah, that moment where you're suddenly trying to talk to and going to see...like...everyone in one day. ❤️💚💙

That moment when you realise there's 4 and a half school days left before your a year closer to going to college.

It's highly specific, but a group of us in my school had this moment during last period. There's only 4 and a half school days left until we all become Year 10's, and we graduate in year 11 and have to chose a college to go to until we're 18. Frankly it's quite terrifying.

That moment when you finally get around to editing your characters page only to end up accidentally deleting everything.
Rip
It just happened and im done lol

Gah! I hate that when that happens. I’ve done a beautifully written update for a character and I ended up accidentally closing the browser and it was lost.

after several days of being unable to reply... and finally having THAT moment today.. I feel you. especially when your on the edge of your seat for one. its like a cliff hanger. I have gimmie hands.

Might I suggest next time, making the edits in a word processor and then copying it all over? I do that with rp posts, that way if I accidently close the browser or something, I still have my work.

This one! This one is me. That school system is nothing like what I'm going through, but the same general moment. I recently graduated 12th grade and I have about a month before I start my first year of college.

Good luck with college

Yeah, I usually do that. I have a Word sheet open ( and sometimes an email so I look busy at work while writing RP) and use them to check typing and such, but there is he occasion where I think I will be quick and need to change one little thing and it expands out into more. And usually it isn't a problem, so I become lackadaisical, and get too confident, then it happens again... and the vigilance starts anew... etc.

Oh.. that moment when you realise you're still at work when you could have left an hour ago but you're too busy on RPR...

Yeah i usually always do stuff on another app but i was bored and was like hey let me update my character.
Now im too lazy to redo it

That moment when you can't find your flash drive that has your most recent version of your novel on it, literally climb underneath a bed, a chair, and wind up covered in webs, dust and sweat trying to find it, only to realize it was on your dresser underneath a bag of skin-care stuff. x.x

also...

That moment when you plan on changing your sleep schedule to wake up earlier, end up waking up earlier, but an hour earlier than planned, which is two and half hours earlier than normal, so you're extra tired

Now for a good thing...

That moment when you are dealing with the 'monthly reboot' and really want chocolate donuts and your dad brings you chocolate donuts after work without you even asking. .

"Monthly reboot" 😂 gonna use that from this day on

I might have to steal this email idea for when I'm at work...

That moment when you don’t want summer to end because you don’t want to have to go back to school, then you remember “oh yeah, I graduated...” then you get bummed because you don’t get to see your friends

That moment when you think you'll have time to write that post, or really, do some writing at all...and then you get sidetracked watching or reading something (I'm staring at you, TVTropes!) that completely grabs your interest and hours have passed by before you remember, 'oh crud, I was supposed to write this hours ago...'

That moment when you're 95% done building a massive piece of IKEA furniture that's taken you 5 hours so far...but suddenly think you've built everything upside-down/inside-out...but it turns out you did it right! ^____^

Hahah. I've been similar situations...only I got to the point of taking the thing apart again before I realized it was correct the whole time! *Facepalms* I felt so stupid, lol.

That moment when your heart skips a beat because you're meeting a stranger, alone, from behind, in your kitchen, at 2am...

That moment when your roommates GF ends up being a super swell gal

That moment when you're standing off by yourself, awkwardly trying to think of something to say to join in on the conversation of a group of nearby people--and suddenly the subject of your favorite book/movie/game comes up, and you feel utterly confident you can join in now.
