Pointless Announcements
Slept like a baby last night. Was so exhausted from being up at 5am, working out,waiting 2 hours at the DMV, getting called into work, and finally getting to sleep around midnight.
Rums, only one or two people accused you at first of being an alt. After you refused to give us any information on who you are and posted antagonistic things, like the constant yawns in shout, or being loudly apathetic towards everything here, or calling a member a dick, yeah after a while people get annoyed with you and assume you are quite obviously an alt at that point to them.
You want to be accepted you need to contribute in some way that is interesting, the easiest way is to just tell a little about yourself, not every personal detail of your private life or even most, but at least enough for others to form a frame of reference and get a feel for you so they want to like you and laugh at your jokes.
Pepper, I do think you nailed the situation with Irina. Irina, I don't think you come across bossy and I agree with Pepper this is now is excuse or his in so many words thing to make it your fault. Don't let him do that to you. You don't want a guy like that for sure, because as Tuffy said, or maybe Pepper, the guy was definitely fishing. HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND = BAD BOYFRIEND, for the fishing OfCourse. What an ass. And yeah, he took up all your time flirting with you and in my opinion, acting you on, so how could they get to know you. Write him off, even as a friend, since his morals are a little questionable, but I would reserve the right to get your dig in on him, since he took the time out to get his in to you. Douche!
Also Pepper, I just want you to know that your son Gabriel that you posted a pic of this month, is a male Pepper. He looks so much like you. Also, I think you are such a great Mom. I always like reading your post about your kids. I like how you always take the opportunity to teach them. It seems you have such a close relationship with them. And in my house, Jack is the Male Winnie. I love having a boy that looks like me. I don't know, there's just something about it, really having any child look like you. Everyone that I went to Highschool with me, when they see Haily, they loose their minds. They say it's like looking at me and wonder if it is me, if I'm not with her. That just happened recently a basketball game.
But yeah, I think you're a great Mom.
Whatever Whore!
opposite of bossy is passive?
Thanks Winnie. Teaching kids stuff is fun, especially when the start to become independent critical thinkers and begin teaching you things back.
I think you must be a good mom too, and you'll get back on track soon, even that is a good mom action, sure you messed up, but you are changing it. That is what counts the most. Everyone makes mistakes, intelligent caring people look at their mistakes and try to change, try to respond differently in the future.
This reminds me. I know it's old but a while back they took lots of pictures of men and women in several countries and made "average faces" for those countries. They all end up looking very attractive because I guess people find just normal looking features pretty.
The first thing I noticed was that the Romanian female is like, wayyyyyy out of the Romanian male's league. It's possible that Irina's stories of Romanian men make me think very little of their collective charm, personalities, and general fuckability. And that might not be fair. Irina has not met every guy in the country.
But I still think Average Romanian Female can do better. Average Hungarian Male looks like he might possibly be not completely allergic to girls. And he lives like right next door.
I guess what I'm saying is, Irina should get away from all these bitch ass dudes.
PA - I'm going back to work again today, and I'm actually kind of happy about it. Weird, but good!
I can't see the pictures of the females, but, that is a lot of attractive for average. I mean, world wide, the average man is good looking. I mean, your computer images of fake men discombobuled my brain word type word communication function thing.
The other thing was grumpy, I guess. A bit grumpy. Or proud. I don't know exactly which he meant. I know I translated it as stuck-up last night, but I wasn't very sober, so yeah.
The whole context was a bit of a joke, we were discussing fidelity and what I'd do if my man wasn't a one-woman kind of man. I said he wouldn't be my man anymore, and then he asked me if I was more of the lover kind.
To his defense, he was very impressed with the fact that I bought him a book for no reason other than to thank him for bringing me back to watching movies. 'I must be cool if the bossiest girl in our class is giving be a book!'
Oh I see Hungary and Romania now.
Yeah. Irina, move to Hungary.
I also think I got major points for saying I listen to Anathema. Then I was telling a story from the first Placebo concert I went to, he said his girlfriend had been there, too, and I was like, really? cool, and went on with my story.
I am super proud that in 5 whole hours sitting with only one non-smoker, I was able not to bum one and to stick to my trying to quit. I stopped smoking a month ago, but I bummed two the last time we all went out. Now I'm becoming optimistic.
I'll fetch the smelling salts.
Another thing I found interesting at first was how White American Dude looks like British Chap's little brother.
But then I realized that all these white men look the same to me. All of them. The various flavors of Asian are pretty distinctive though.

So he wants to know if you don't mind you man, perhaps him, has other women. Then he wants to know how you feel about taking a lover.
But! In his defense he was flattered you gave him a present just for being him.
What has he done for you Irina?
Where are your presents? Where is his honesty to you? Where is your romance and time alone and devotion to you feeling happy and satisfied and pleased? Where are your kisses because he can't help himself?

RACIST!
hah. That is funny actually. I can tell the distinctions between the white men far more than the others. I am pretty much only attracted to white men for the most part in regular life though. It takes a really good looking guy of another race to catch my eye.

I know all of you know I like him and all, but I really wasn't that obvious when I was around. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't figure it out, because at some point during the semester I said that I don't think any of the guys in our class are 'eligible'. And I don't fall for people who do things for me, that's the saddest part. Guys don't have to do anything and I'll still crush over them because that's just the way I am, still silly. Andrei has fucked me over countless times and I still can't say I'm fully over him. It doesn't work like that with me, my feelings don't listen to reason, however much of a perfectionist I may be in everything else.
Falling for the guy that ignores you most is pretty common.
Exactly. Every single time. Except for Andrei, at the beginning.
oh man, that dude (Irina's classmate) is being a flirt and is obviously a bit of a jerk.
RACIST!
That might have something to do with it. But then again, I'm straight and I'm finding all the women WAY more attractive than the men in general. Is that just me!?
They are all, men and women, very attractive in that perfectly symmetrical charming no quirky cute personality at all way.
Yeahhhh but the girls still look better.
Ohhh... I just remember some Cracked article I read that said something like people find women more attractive when they smile and men less attractive when they smile. So like, serious, angry, or sad faces are hotter somehow than smiles.
I never thought that I felt any sort of hate toward the happiness of men but the hottest looking ones to me were England, White America, and Serbia. Like Greece looks pretty good but just a little too pleased, you know?
Yeah. Or submissive, I'd say.
Also, I'd say that the men in those "average per country" pictures were taken from magazines, not mug shots. Now mug shots would make an interesting amalgamation, or whatever. A lot more facial hair and face tattoos, maybe.

Wuuut. I can't relate.
Wuuut. I can't relate.
All the people who can and I are probably just monsters.
That I doubt. You're much too pretty to be a monster.
Ill rhymes.
It's not that they're monsters. They're attracted to monsters. Like for everything else, I blame Disney. Friggin' Beauty and the Beast.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
She just said she was a monster though.. Is my English that bad?!
Awwww... but at times like these I like to point out that Clara (who used to post here) told me I looked like a Disney villain. And my reaction to that was... to be incredibly flattered.
I mean... me... in the same league as Jafar... I can't even talk about it anymore, I'm blushing too hard.
I didn't see Beauty and the Beast until like 5 years ago so suck on that.
He's just disagreeing. That's his job here.
Ah, right. I'm so out of it. Carry on!
Fine, so it was a social commentary on your twisted fetishes.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
This week is passing so slowly...
I have an interview soon at another evil oil company (a big one). I haven't been on a serious job interview since six years ago when i got this job. I had my foot in the door though because i was dating the boss's daughter. Now i got nothing. I'm nervous.
I'm more interested in how Irina feels about that all being the obvious, and whether any of the guys here agree that it is, than in being told I am smart.
I'm still cranky.
Oh well then. Good job being articulate.
I had a sort of epiphany this morning.
I went to catholic school up until freshman year and I honestly hope none of you have had the catholic school experience because it sucks. You're with the same 100 kids from ages 5-18, granted you go to catholic high school. So everyone gets to know each other really well and in my case, people don't like you. All of the girls gang up on you and get their rocks off by hating you. They want to see you fail.
Well I don't go to catholic school anymore, but those girls still do, and they think I'm some low grade ghetto kid because I attend public school now *gasp*
They, and their mothers, have always seen me as less because I have a single parent and she works hard and it's very warped because if anything that's something to respect. You would think you would have some respect for a hard working woman who lost her husband but kids are stupid and their mothers are batty old losers that don't do shit but shove their thumb up their asshole all day. So whatever.
My school is a great school. We have a lot of AP classes and a lot of opportunities and excellent teachers. Really excellent teachers.
Those girls still go out of their way to hate me and all of that petty bullshit.
But I realized this morning that I've always been better than them and that they're jealous of me because I'm not stupid!!!! And that's something my mom has been telling me since I was a little kid but I never listened or tried to understand that. I'm going to continue to bust my ass in school so I can get into an Ivy League or extremely prestigious school so they can be even more jealous of me. And I'll get a great job. And I'll travel. And I'll have a great life. And I'll love it.
They're going to stay in this shitty fucking city being nothing but what their mothers were.
I know I sound like a stupid 16 year old who doesn't know how the world works but I am confident that I can do it. I'm not going to belittle myself anymore because that's what they want and I'm more than that. I'm going to prove them wrong. For me and my mom.
I can not wait.
I went to an all girls catholic college (high school) and I loved it. I was a good place for me.
You go, girl! Education is worth it.
I went to Catholic school until I started high school, so 9-12th grades were in a public school. I thoroughly enjoyed attending private school. Those are some of my fondest memories.
Fine, so it was a social commentary on your twisted fetishes.
When Hattie posted this picture...
It actually looked somewhat familiar because that's what my room looked like except it was Hello Kitty shit instead.
As you all should know... Hello Kitty is a mouthless cat... no mouth means no smiles... which... which means...
OH MY GOD, THIS CAT BROKE ME.
Hello Kitty has no mouth because she is not judgemental.
It makes sense in Japanese.
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
I knew about your Hello Kitty world, Jess.
Beasts of the Southern Wild is on TV (!) on Sunday before the Oscars, but I'll be at a birthday party so I'll watch it tonight as soon as.. it's here.
Wuuut. I can't relate.
All the people who can and I are probably just monsters.
I do prefer a guy with a nice smile but some guys look better when they don't smile. So I may or may not know what you're on about.
Gabby you obviously do know how it works. You haven't belittled yourself ever. You just were perfectly graceful and quiet, and watched them make fools of themselves. And now you've picked the perfect opportunity to be loud and shout out your pride.
I went to Catholic school and it was one of the better experiences of my life. Those Hispanic and Black kids were super sweet and the only downside were the violent weirdo nuns- not all but a few stand out in my mind and no one stopped them. But Private school, I had the same experience you did. It was god awful. I was harassed and threatened daily in 9th grade, but every time I went to public school everyone got along with me. That small cliche influenced environment only has to answer to itself. Sadists.
There were only two nuns when I was at shcool. One was quite strict and straight, but she was the principal. The other was very nice and open minded and said things like "When you leave school and have a boyfriend...or a girlfriend..."
I'm glad you guys enjoyed it at least. I've talked to a few people who have either loved it or hated it so I guess it's that kind of thing. It was really just the girls that made me hate it. The school itself was ok.
It actually looked somewhat familiar because that's what my room looked like except it was Hello Kitty shit instead.
As you all should know... Hello Kitty is a mouthless cat... no mouth means no smiles... which... which means...
OH MY GOD, THIS CAT BROKE ME.
Do you also prefer men with beady, soulless eyes and big ears?
I was also trying to find a way to bring that picture over to this conversation. I'm glad you found a way.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I'm tired, but I'm pretending I'm not.
Who was I a jerk to; what exactly did I say to warrant a fucking pm warning?
Show me.
