What do you never get sick of from fandoms pre-2000?

Job Thread

[ill_omened]

So, out of the blue I got an e-mail from HR. It's to the effects of,

"Dear [Ill_Omened],

The quality of our grad scheme was unexpectedly high, but you made a strong impression and we've kept your details on file in case a position arises that would interest you.

If you're still interested in a career position, we're advertising a newly developed [strongly information focused role leading a twenty person team].

Contact back if you're interested, the head of HR would like a meeting with you."

This has given me high hopes to say the least. God I need this job so badly, and I've got the impression that right now it's mine to lose.

[(Anonymous)]

Can I get some Creepypasta recs? Stories preferred, but anything else is good too. I'm not going to sleep tonight anyway.

Physical adulthood? (possible TMI)

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, so... I know everyone has different types of bodies, especially depending on their genes and whatnot. For the record, I'm a mid-twenties white girl.

But I honestly think I'm a few years behind most girls/women my age, in regards to physical development. Maybe you guys can give me your thoughts?

I'm small, and I've always been small. But smaller than both of my parents, even my mother. At 4'10" I'm actually the same height as my paternal great-grandmother when she was my age. I've had some things in my life that could have possibly affected my rate of development, but I'm not sure. I was born premature, and was malnourished for some time before I started having my period.

And that's the weird thing! I started my period at a normal age, around 12. But after that, it's like everything slowed to a crawl. From puberty, I only gained 3" in height max, and maybe 10 lbs heavier.

I got sick in my late teens, enough to lose about 20lbs in a couple weeks, and I think that slowed me down further. When most girls had grown hips in their late teens, my hips finally widened out a few inches. But even for my shortness, I'm still pretty narrow. No boobs, no hips. I regularly get mistaken for being underage.

Is it even possible to have not completed physical maturity by your mid twenties as a girl, in this day and age? Am I just drastically deluded about my own level of development? is there something wrong with me? :(

[(Anonymous)]

saw the other thread, and it got me thinking: are there any other Hourglass girls out there? I'm the only girl I know with an hour-glass figure, all my friends are sleek and banana-shaped.

I tend to make my own clothing, because I find modern clothing just doesn't work for me. It's mostly built for bananas, which is fine, because the are the majority, it makes sense they should cater to them.
Whenever I do buy clothing at the store I have to buy a little bigger than I should because the item will be a perfect fit and then it gets to my butt or boobs and it's tight as hell. Then when I get something that's a comfortable fit around my boob or butt area it'll be a total, baggy sack around the rest of me.
I love using vintage styles to inspire the clothes I make. I find for example, that classic 50s bathing suit works perfect on hour-glass shape.

Any other fashion tip/woes from other hourglass ladies?

[cuteanimalpics]

Sorry this is short, my keyboard stopped working again, but my friend is letting me borrow hers. Only for a little but, though.

Realization

[(Anonymous)]

I have 14 tabs open and I'm commenting, chatting, debating and snarking in all of them.

I do this for hours pretty much every day.

I think FS has become my new fandom.

Tell me a romantic story.

[(Anonymous)]

But here's the catch, it has to be true and have happened to you or someone you know. Any sweet stories?

Fastest you've ever shipped a couple?

[(Anonymous)]

What ship of yours had the shortest period between the first time you saw two characters interact and the time you began shipping them?

I remember that I decided Jack O'Neill and Teal'c were completely in love about fifteen minutes into the first episode of Stargate SG-1 I ever saw, so that's my record. (Admittedly, that episode was Message in a Bottle, but anyway...)

Anyone else?

Writing Slump. Be My Prompt Master.

[(Anonymous)]

I have been in a huge creative slump lately. I can't seem to write fanfics (not attached to fandom the way I used to be), and my original fiction has taken a nose dive as well.

So here it is. Give me gifts, pictures, songs, prompts of whatever and I will try my darndest to write something for it.

Doesn't matter if the prompt relates to fandom or not (as it is a big possibility I won't have a clue what fandom the prompt is from). Just send things my way!

Procrastination

[cakemage]

I'm a about 1/5th of the way through writing a very short (500-750 words) midterm essay on the political/power dynamics of defining mysticism the the ways in which modern understandings of mysticism are lacking, using The Book of Showings by Julian of Norwich as an example. It's not exactly my favorite of the readings we've done for class, and I'm having trouble coming up with a comprehensible thesis statement, so I'm kind of just fucking around in the hopes that a short break will clear my mind a bit. In other words, I'm procrastinating. I'm going to try to have it at least half-done by tomorrow, at least, though.

So, is anyone else here putting off anything?

I'm Re-Reading Paradise Kiss

[(Anonymous)]

AGH GEORGE IS SUCH A FUCKER...

Re: I'm Re-Reading Paradise Kiss

[ooh_mrdarcy]

OMG I KNOW

But I still liked the ending.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm in a movie fandom and we recently did a anniversary chat watch. I was shocked that I was the only one who owned a copy of the movie we've spent countless hours writing fic for, analyzing, screencapping... I mean, fuck.

Everyone else pirated. Have to admit... I was disgusted.

[(Anonymous)]

WHAT MOVIE?

I feel like I'll never get lucky in love...

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by the post above and watching Pitch Perfect I guess. I've tried to get involved with people and date, but it always feels like pulling teeth. I'm always the one who had to initiate things until finally I just gave up because it felt like they didn't care enough to pursue anything. It's not like I called all the time or smothered them either, about 2 - 3 per week because I get busy with other things in life too. But the people I dated never gave me a hint either way.

This is turning into a pity party, but for once I would just like someone who wants to be with me, who will call me sometimes instead of me always calling them, and tries to make an effort. I'm starting to get really bummed out that I'll never find someone like that.

Re: I feel like I'll never get lucky in love...

[(Anonymous)]

Aw, anon, I'm sorry to hear that. A friend of mine recently went through something similar with a guy she worked with. He kept telling his friends that he preferred for a girl to be the one to initiate things since he has never really dated (and then one of our friends reported that info back to my friend, hehe), but my friend got fed up doing all the work. I can totally understand. I'd want a guy to make the first move sometimes. He doesn't always have to, but when I'm doing all the work I get the feeling he's not interested. A relationship does take a lot of work, but both people need to work on it.

But back to you, I hope you have better luck in the relationships department. You just haven't met the right person. I think you should approach dating with a more casual mind. Just date a few people, get a feel of what it's like to go on a date. That way you don't worry about whether or not a person really likes you or not, and if you don't get a call back from them you don't feel so bummed out about it. And then, maybe you will finally meet the one who matters, the "special" person who changes your life. Everyone isn't meant to find their "life partner" in the first person they date (even though it happened to my older sister).

Famous People You've Met

[(Anonymous)]

I always miss meeting famous people. When I was in high school a few months ago, the cast of the new Star Trek movie came to my town for filming, and my friend got to take a picture with them. I was really jealous.

Taylor Swift is coming to one of the colleges that's part of my consortium and there was a raffle for tickets, but I didn't win. It's sad, but I really want to meet a celebrity.

What celebrities have you guys met? They don't have to be super well-known.

Re: Famous People You've Met

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, not many interesting ones. The last one was stopping Felicia Day for like 30 seconds on the E3 show floor so I could take a pic of her and my friend.

A few hockey players too. The most interesting one being Jarome Iginla. :P

Venting/Need Advice (TW: Depression/Anxiety)

[(Anonymous)]

So, today was a bad day. I don't really feel like getting too much into it, but it definitely was a triggering day, to say the least. I've been recovering from extreme depression--I ended up in the hospital at the beginning of this year--and have been doing fairly well. Just, every once in a while I get triggered very badly and am brought back right where I was in January/February. I get the urge to self-harm--something I've never done--but the urge returns. I feel like I want to cut myself or bash my head repeatedly against a wall or smash everything around me into the smallest bits I can get them into. I guess what I'm asking is how to (a) deal/cope better with triggers, (b) do something destructive, but not to myself/others/possessions, and (c) maybe even possibly avoid triggers better/learn how to anticipate when they might turn up. Or if you don't have advice, maybe a friendly hello? Thanks guys.

Re: Venting/Need Advice (TW: Depression/Anxiety)

[(Anonymous)]

Hello, anon. :) Take it easy for now.

I usually time off in a quiet, dimly lit place and pay attention to my breathing. I've started taking yoga class this year and I've picked up some tips on how to be mindful of physical symptoms of oncoming panic attacks. One of the things I picked up is trying to picture in my mind areas of my body where I feel particularly tense and to channel breath into that spot through simple inhalation/exhalation. It takes your mind away from what's triggering the anxiety and stops feelings of despair from being too intense. For me, it's helped just enough to let me get away from all the destructive thoughts in my head, lets me regroup, so I can deal with the situation when I've calmed down.

That's all I can seem to give you for today. I've been dealing with my current anxiety issues too, and I'm just starting on applying CBT on my life since lapsing not too long ago. But I'm taking things one step at a time, one day at a time, and I've been getting better slowly.

Have you getting treatment since January/February? Please tell us here, and perhaps we can talk about options that may be open to you. You're not alone! *holds your hand*
