Re: So I think I'm working with a war criminal

[(Anonymous)]

Even if it's not, it's sure weird he's talking to you like that. I've known combat vets of WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq and I never heard any of them make light of killing people.

Mostly, I'm just always low-key annoyed that the super-assassin has such an impractical hairstyle to begin with. Long enough to make you easily identifiable and provide a convenient handhold for anyone you're grappling with. Short enough that it's difficult to keep it out of your face without more hair styling effort than Bucky probably wants to go to.

I would like to get to know people better and get to the point where I could consider them a friend, but it is hard.

Re: Things you've felt guilty/feel guilty complaining about

We've talked about it a little. I've asked whether he thinks he might have mild Tourette's, and he was like, "Oh probably." He's very intelligent and educated; his denial is not coming from a place of ignorance. And he doesn't have a hard time acknowledging it objectively.

But whenever he actually blurts something out, he just tries to make it seem like it didn't happen.

If it were me I'd be like, "Lol, I'm being Tourette's-y today," to make it less embarrassing for myself and everyone else. Because I've learned from experience that acknowledging something embarrassing almost always makes it less embarrassing. But my dad has always been super sensitive to embarrassing things, and I think in the moment it's just too much for him. He feels like he needs to hide it instead.

And I never actually get mad at him about it. But internally it drives me crazy. So I also fail at being objective about it in my own way. I think it's just one of those dynamics that we're lock into, in a way that only really happens with close family.

haha I assumed that they were referring to Jewish headcanons with little basis?

Re: Travel Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I'll look up Ryanair. Thanks.

I don't think I could wait til the last week. I'd like to have everything booked as soon as I can.

Re: NCAA TOURNAMENT

[randomdrops]

Dammit, I had to go look it up to double check and nope, I still get his team mixed up. I keep thinking he's on VCU but he's with the Richmond Spiders. Ugh, this is why I just ask general "how'd he do?" questions and cheer him on via his mom. lol

But hey, his team's not in the NCAA tournament so I don't have to feel guilty about not paying attention anymore!

Re: Things you've felt guilty/feel guilty complaining about

[ketita]

I'm like you in that. I don't intend to disparage anybody here - I do enjoy hanging out and talking!
But when I say Real Friend I mean somebody who's really there for you, you know? That you could message them out of the blue after not talking for a year and still feel close to them.

Re: NCAA TOURNAMENT

[(Anonymous)]

Hahahaha well, that's OK too!

[babydraco]

Thanks I can never unsee it now.

[(Anonymous)]

Very, very shallow. I'd say it really only resembles the Trinity in the whole multiple aspects of one deity thing, except that the Christian Trinity definitely doesn't include any female aspects and not even all Christian sects agree that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all the same dude.

[(Anonymous)]

My gf who had a major Twilight phase in her youth posits that it's a but ambiguous on if things will work out after the end of New Moon, making it not a clearly happy ending

[(Anonymous)]

Did you miss the part where I said "or some other type of phase" that is embarrassing in hindsight?

Re: Hey FS! How'd you lose your virginity?

[(Anonymous)]

If oral counts, then: I was coerced into oral by my primary school boyfriend when I was eight.
And then we moved interstate and I never saw him again :D

[(Anonymous)]

I think it was a pretty happy ending (or at least, I'm pretty sure that's how Meyer meant for the reader to feel about it). But 1) It wasn't that happy, and 2) OP's phrasing of "cried myself to sleep" sounds distinctly like sad crying to me. *shrugs*

I'm guessing the other posters in this thread are probably right that it's about Jacob.

Re: Things you've felt guilty/feel guilty complaining about

[(Anonymous)]

Well, if your dad hasn't sought a diagnosis and treatment, then I guess acting like it didn't happen IS his method of coping. I can see both sides to this. On the one hand, I can understand it being irritating for you, because you see it as being glossed over and you wouldn't handle this like your dad's handling it. On the other hand, if it happens on a regular basis, acknowledging it each and every time like it's a charming novelty might be annoying for your father.

If I had a stuttering problem, I'd feel really awkward if someone expected me call extra attention to it by pretending to be amused and going "Lol, I'm being stuttery today!", especially when everyone present already knows it.

While you might not say anything, I'd hazard a guess that your dad is picking up on your irritation, no matter how well you think you're hiding it. I'd also suggest that this will probably make him more self-conscious and embarrassed, and more prone to pretending it didn't happen, not less. Bottom line: you can tell your dad you wish he wasn't embarrassed by this condition, but you can't force him not to be, nor can you dictate how he should handle it. All you can do is manage your own reactions and feelings.

So you're not regretting it anymore?

Re: Based on secret #6: Kids who look like their famous parents

[(Anonymous)]

Liv Tyler looks a lot like Steven Tyler, but unlike Rumer and Scout Willis, actually looks much more attractive than her father.

Re: Hey FS! How'd you lose your virginity?

[(Anonymous)]

At 24, with my boyfriend at the time who had become my then-best friend before we started going out. I was really awkward but he was understanding without being condescending and I feel grateful I felt comfrotable just straight up saying "I feel stupidly awkward." Other than that, I remember no details, despite being completely sober. It has been over a decade, though. So much for your first time being super-important forever!

Re: book club - planning and general discussion

[(Anonymous)]

The problem isn't more people voting than contributing, it's the same person voting multiple times.

Re: Hey FS! How'd you lose your virginity?

[(Anonymous)]

its not worth bothering to lose imo

[sarillia]

Which Christian sects don't consider them the same person? All the ones I'm familiar with do, so I'm curious.

Re: Things you've felt guilty/feel guilty complaining about

[sarillia]

That's exactly how I am too.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, you're probably right about this. "Cried myself to sleep" sounds like sad crying to me, so it's probably that OP was say Bella didn't hook up with Jacob.

I don't particularly adore Edward, but Jacob is one of my least favorite characters of all time. (I had too many Nice Guy male "friends" in my teens and early twenties, so to me Jacob had Creepy, Emotionally Manipulative, "Nice Guy" Asshole stamped all over him in font so big it was visible from the end of book one. His distinctive turn in that direction in book three came as no surprise to me whatsoever.) So I really can't imagine feeling sad that Bella doesn't get with him. Which is why OP's secret confused me.

But I should have considered that plenty of people really loved Jacob and were really hoping the series would go his way.

This past september actually. I got a boyfriend in the summer, we both got feelings waaay quickly, but when I told him I'd never ~done it before he said he wanted to like...lead me up to it slowly. So we did all the other stuff, a lot, over about a month. Then we did it, and it was great! (I was 27)
