Yeah okay, I've decided that being early is no fun.

Bye f!s, see you in four hours when I wake up.

But you won't get to participate in the drama as it builds!

I hate being early or late, 'cause then I'm just restating what others have said...or there's nothing interesting to say.

Just had a long term friend come out to me.

Hopefully wasn't too awkward (was hard to find the right balance between 'Ignoring it as a big announcement as I'm genuinely entirely cool with this', and following up with interest so it doesn't feel like I'm in uncomfortable silence with it), and seems like he's dating a nice guy.

Though I guess this helps explain why he really despised my homophobic ex.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-30 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a similar experience a few months ago. My friend was all "I have something important to tell you" and made it sound all grave like he was dying of some illness and he closed all the doors to the room and he was like "I'm bi. And I'm seeing a guy right now." And I was like "Okay. And...?" because I was seriously waiting for him to say "And I have AIDS" or something else really stereotypical.

He was at first confused, but I was like "You're acting like this is a SERIOUSLY HUGE SURPRISING DEAL, but trust me, I'm completely cool with it, and I've also suspected you're not entirely straight for like... ten years."

He was quite disappointed that he hadn't been hiding it as well as he thought.

Straight people can really despise homophobic assholes too. Just saying.

Give me your funny RP stories FS

(Anonymous) 2012-06-30 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Here's one from me: okay so I'm RPing with a friend, right. He plays a quirky mob boss and I play his right hand man (well, woman in this case). They get through this tense meeting with some business associates and things are going very not well. Afterward, my friend has the mob boss turn to look at my character with a totally straight face and he goes:

"Perhaps we should encourage Mr. Winston to be a bit more of a hipster."
"What?"
"Yes. Cooler and under ground where nobody has ever heard of him. That would be perfect."

Good afternoon! Today is Request Week. Just going to be running through various things that people have asked for or would like to see. I think I definitely do have enough stuff for a few days, but more requests are always welcome! You can either request things directly in reply to these comments here, or just leave a note here instead. I'm screening everything so it can be a surprise when the comment goes up.

For today, we're doing tiny big things! Does that seem like an oxymoron? It isn't really, because everything that does get big has to start somewhere.

Aw, aren't those kind of cute? You know what's coming up, though!
















The largest spider (by mass, not size-) spider is the Goliath Birdeater Spider. Even though the Giant Huntsman spider is larger than it is, it can still grow up to a hefty 12 inches from toe to toe!

Discussion of efficiency with sanitary towels

(Anonymous) 2012-06-30 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, this seems like a stupid question, and that's probably because it is, but am I missing a trick with wrapped sanitary towels?

As most of you will know, individually wrapped sanitary towels generally come in a plastic wrapper, folded into thirds, with an extra bit of waxed paper if they have wings, and a sticky tab for holding the wrapper closed once you have rolled the used towel up in it. So, you are supposed to unpeel the sanitary towel from the plastic wrapper to stick it in your knickers, and stick the used towel in the plastic wrapper, roll it up, and seal closed with the sticky tab.

The problem is that, for all but the first and last towel, you have a slight Towers of Hanoi situation. You cannot place the clean towel in your knickers into the old one is removed, and you cannot place the used towel in the wrapper until the new one is removed. I really don't want to juggle the towels so that I have two unsettled at the same time, given that one is used.

So, my usual solution is to open the wrapper with new towel, unpeel towel, and stick it on one thigh. Then unstick old towel and place it on wrapper on other thigh, before rolling up and disposing. Then unstick new towel from thigh and attach to knickers. Now, this seems like maximum efficiency to me, with three locations and the minimum number of moves. But, sticking the new towel to my thigh doesn't seem like the intended use, and it must slightly reduce stickiness.

So, Fandom Secrets, am I missing a trick? Do you have a more efficient method?

You place the old towel on the same wrapper it came in.

Oh, F!S...the discussions we have here.

I usually open the new sanitary napkin on my thigh, the non-sticky side down, and peel the wrapper off, then put the used one in the wrapper and throw it away, and then I can take the new one off my leg and use it. Others probably have other methods. I never liked sticking it to my thigh because the sticky stuff on those things is really strong, or at least it seems to me.

Maybe you can put the new towel on your thigh, but sticky side up? Harder to balance, but no stickiness reduction!

It's not really more efficient (same number of steps), but why not set the clean towel on your leg absorbent side down? It hasn't touched anything unhygenic yet since it's fresh from the wrapper, and you won't lose adhesion from peeling it off yourself.

I don't even use the wrapper. I roll up the used pad from back to front, then put it sideways on the toilet tissue. I wrap it a few times that way, then tear off a bit extra and wrap it around the other way and tuck the ends in. That goes in the trash. I then unwrap the new pad, put the plastic cover in the trash, and put the new pad in my underpants.

I've tried using the new wrapper to dispose of the old pad, and I have *never* had good luck with that. Not to mention that when I'm at home I often have pads or pantiliners that come in a box without the "discreet packaging"... They just have the backing that covers the sticky part, so there isn't any wrapper to stick the used pad or liner onto.

Yeah, it's wasteful, but it's more secure than what I ended up with trying to use the wrapper!

In this situation I just use plenty of toilet paper. Same with tampons if I can't flush them.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-30 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I take out the old towel, put it down somewhere - edge of the sink, side of the bath, anywhere, sticky side down. Then unwrap new towel, apply, and roll up the old one. It never occurred to me to do it any other way.

Welp

(Anonymous) 2012-06-30 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It would seem that my life as I know it is falling apart.
My best friend of four years, after 4 months of not talking, just told via voicemail the day before yesterday "I don't want to talk to you ever again."
I am suicidal. I talked to a suicide hotline last night that made me feel momentarily better but it's coming back and ;alsdkfnas;dklfnas;dkn fuck my life. I'm going out to eat with two other friends if they don't flop, and that might make me feel momentarily better again, but fuck it I'm scared of going to bed tonight. I'm going to think about everything, and I'm going to have to mentally prepare myself for another fucking day and it's going to be dark and I'll be alone and I'm scared. I'm a teenager and I'm scared of the dark, cool.

tentacle pr0ns

(Anonymous) 2012-06-30 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
So, every once in a while I get a feather for some tentacle porn. Something I've noticed is this - there's a great deal of talent, both artistic and especially in writing, in the whole tentacle-pron sector of the internets. Or maybe I've just lucked out on the few times I've looked. I mean, not manga comics or whatever, but actual "amateur" fansites and whatnot. People who just do it for the fun of it. So often, the writing is super-imaginative, creative, and rock-solid with less (although not zero) of the weeping-cock trainwreck stuff.

But it's just frustrating, because most of the people I know online and in person would be absolutely horrified that I even seriously consider tentacle porn. So it's not like I can share that discovery.

Therefore, I'm just venting a little about it here. *shrug*

lookin' for a new time waster

(Anonymous) 2012-06-30 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
So Tumblr sucks, LiveJournal's dead, I'm kind of out of all my old fandoms and not into much new. I need a new forum/site/hangout to waste time and entertain myself on the old internets. And possibly make friends. Suggestions? (Reddit is a little intimidating.)

I dropped out of HS and got my GED six years ago because I had to help support my family after my father died. I'm tired of working in retail and want to DO something with my life, and for that reason I've been thinking about starting community college. After months spent thinking about it and researching, I realized that I want to pursue a career either as a psychologist (clinical therapist?) or physical therapist.

My main concern is that I'm just not smart enough to succeed. Me being out of school for 6 years non withstanding, I've always been a poor student, mainly because I always had so much on my shoulders and put my education second to everything else. I'm not a good critical thinker, I'm terribly awkward and inarticulate, and I've pretty much spent these last few years working simple, monotonous jobs that a trained monkey could handle. I'm freaking out because I'm unsure if I could even handle a college curriculum, let alone the kind required to achieve a degree in the fields I'm interested in (at this point).

I'm just not smart, and I'm beginning to think that maybe college won't be for me.

Advice/Suggestions/ETC would be greatly appreciated.
