I never have anything interesting to say when I get here first. So... Favorite ice cream flavors? Go!

Feel free to expand into favorite ice cream toppings, as desired.

(Mine's chocolate.)

Awesome and Suck Post?

[oroburos69]

Malaysia is awesome!

Insomnia sucks.

Thanks Everyone!

[kaijinscendre]

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. We just got home and my sister is in bed still a bit bonked out on anesthesia. Doctor says it can still affect her up to 48 hours. I think I replied to everyone yesterday (I was on my cellphone), but if I didn't, Thank you and your well wishes were appreciated!

(frozen comment) Which country are you glad you were never born in and why

Lets set aside the uninteresting obvious ones like Somalia.

Hairstyle Advice

[(Anonymous)]

I have long, frizzy and curly hair and have struggled all my life with how to wear it/style it. Short haircuts are a no-no since they mushroom out on me (ninth grade was a dark time), but I am sick of flat-ironing it to death and filling it with product to make it what it naturally is not. I want to wear my hair natural, but in something other than down or in a ponytail. Any cool, frizzy-hairstyles I could try?

Re: Hairstyle Advice

[cassandraoftroy]

I have a couple of friends with hair that texture, and they tend to braid it as a matter of course. For fancier styling, you can do a couple of braids and pin it up in various configurations (like crowns, or the Princess Leia look, or what-have-you)?

Any embarrassing/funny/interesting work stories?

[(Anonymous)]

So, yesterday, I ended up bursting into tears at work. And it wasn't even for anything big. I was late for the first time in almost six months, but for some reason this sent me into a crying jag. The I felt like an idiot and got upset because I was crying. I got into that cycle of crying and not being able to stop for almost 15 minutes. One of my coworkers was nice and calmed me down, but I had the jitters for the rest of my shift because my emotions were all over the place.

I'm still all hyped up about it today, so anybody out there got some work stories they want to share? A little bit of schadenfreude would really cheer me up, ain't gonna lie.

Re: Any embarrassing/funny/interesting work stories?

You know how in the movies, a woman will go to the bathroom and then get the back/the end of her dress caught in the pantyhose and not realize it and then go back to work? Yup, it happened to me. Once and the first person to see it told me and I corrected it but so embarrassed.

Dogs

[(Anonymous)]

I want one, but how do you know when you're ready?
I'm currently share housing with some people and their dog so probably not now
I'm low income but I only have myself and two bunnies to support, which I'm on top of all the time. Even med emergencies
Maybe if I got my own place? I'd be renting obviously, but would that work?

How do people know when their life is stable enought to get a dog? :( I've wanted one for so long

Re: Dogs

[intrigueing]

As a general rule, if you have doubts about your stability (real doubts like wanting to be mobile, drastically changing careers or going back to school and not being sure of how you'll handle it, not being able to predict how much time you'll have at home, not have much control over your living situation. I don't mean worries about "oh, but what about [unforeseeable catastrophe]) -- then don't get one.

When you're really sure of your security and stability, that's the time to start thinking about it. You really do not want to be in a situation where you have to give up your dog. Unless you run across a specific dog you want to adopt, you can always, always wait to get one later without any consequences (and the wait will only make the eventual having sweeter), but you can't go "oops, this was a bad time to get one" and just undo it without getting hurt.

I'd say that very best way to know what 'stable' means is to ask friends and to observe friends/family members/acquaintances who have dogs to makes suggestions, ask them what was most difficult for them when it came to adding a dog to their life, what mistakes they made that they'd recommend you avoid, stuff that you can't really think of on your own. If you can get someone with a dog to really talk at length about it, that's a good start.

Also, get some books about dog owning that are rated highly. And go ask the advice of experts (make sure it's a expert who isn't trying to sell you a dog, btw), if you can get in touch with any.

The more information you have about dog-owning from people who have actually been through the experience, and the more confident you are that you're able to predict and/or control your future, the better.

After seven years, I hace finally decided to stop being friends with my best friend. The sad part is that I know she will not notice. We hardly speak anymore. Hell, half the time trying to get in touch with her is a hassle. Even when we are in talking, the conversation lasts 30 seconds before she hangs up.

I've tried talking to her about this. My other friend has done the same, but it goes through one ear and out the other. This has been a problem since the beginning of our friendship. I've always had to call, make plans to hang out. I've had to choose everything we do. Nowadays, we have almost nothing to talk about since we no longer share common interests.

I've tried to get into stuff she likes, but she ends up loosing interest in new fandoms after a few weeks. I started suggestion stuff, which I love or enjoy, that she might enjoy only for her to completely ignore my suggestions. Until, another friend forces her to watch it and she comes back asking me, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS SHOW/MOVIE? IT'S AWESOME!" In which, I usually tell her I did talk to her about it and provided places for her to watch the show. TO which she responds, 'Oh, then why didn't you keep bugging me about it?'

The thing the hurts the most is that it always has been a one sided friendship for the most part. I made the plans on where to go, what to do, and where to eat. then, she complained about staying in one place or always returning to same place. Even if I asked here where to go, she'd shrug and say anywhere else except *insert places*. Like sitting down and just talking wasn't any fun.

Though, I can't blame her for everything really. I let her get away with this behavior. I let her always take control of the conversation and talk about stuff that she liked. I knew the conversation would either be about fanfics she loved, her original story that she planned to write, or her parents.

A part of me knows that I kept her friendship since I had no other friends, at the time, to relate to. (Actually, at that time, I dropped a lot of bad friends that did me more harm than good) Now, I'm just tired of dealing with her radio silence all the time and aloofness.

I thought surprising her with a great joint gift that my other friend and I spent weeks planning would get through to her. To show her that we listened to her plight and get her to realize that there is more to the world than her problems and her internet. TO make her understand that we cared for her. Nope, her behavior stayed the same. She stopped talking to us once her birthday was over and hasn't contacted neither my friend and I for two weeks.

Now, I've finally decided to just give up. I've made friends that share interest with me. That go out of their way to call/text me and ask, 'Hey, I haven't heard from you in a while. Is everything, okay? If you need me, I'll be hear to lend you a shoulder or listen' or 'Just wanted to say hi since I haven't seen/talked to you in a while.' Something she never did. People who are willing to make some time for me, and I for them, to get together and just be silly together. Even just sit some place and talk for a few hours about everything. (Hell, even if it's to talk for an hour)

A part of me doesn't want to stop being friends with her. We had plenty of
good times just being silly or making private jokes. We made silly promises that we didn't plan to keep. (Like no more ice cream or stop giggling about really bad yaoi fics) The rational part of me knows that letting her go is the best. It points out that my other friends treat me better than she ever did. I no longer have the time or patience to be consoling constantly her about her parent or problems when I have bigger problems to deal with.

Still, I feel fucking awful because I've just lost my best friend. Not to mention, I'm terrified that I'll never find another best friend.

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like you lost her a long time ago, you just weren't admitting it. And it also sounds like these other people are CLEARLY prime new best friend candidates. So shut your whining and go spend time with people who actually want to be around you.
