don’t you despise it when someone fools you and drags you under a read more, only to find it being a line long and has seen a few seconds of your time wasted?

“Gender and sex are two distinct phenomena working in any given culture as well...”
– Kate Barnstein, My Gender Workbook
dowee:
The Only Words I Ought to Say There are a thousand words To speak, Along with a hundred apologies And regrets. But if I were to break my silence, It would be to say Two words, As they are the only ones You will ever need to hear: Come home. My love, Come home.

I have 4 essays due in three days, and my parents have come home from Hong Kong last night with a shiny new 3DS for me.
So much for productivity.
Fraud
There’s this ritual. It’s called Fraud. What you do is, you list out all your good qualities and all your bad qualities. Then you immediately attribute all your good qualities to other people, and all your bad qualities to yourself. Of your good attributes, those which you have acquired from others, copied from them, in fact, note that almost all of them are vacuous, or secretly egotistic....

I’ve just applied for around fourteen Christmas positions in the last two hours, but have only now realised that I have mis-typed the date as ‘2001’ in every single one.

My Mum handed me along a few Maybelline Colour Sensational lipstains. I don’t know why she bought them, she said that she thought that they were long-lasting lipsticks (and somehow the fact that they look like sharpies managed to elude her) but they are absolutely terrible. The uncomfortable feeling of me literally drawing on my lips with a marker is one thing, but within one lip-lick the...

after a night of continuous lag from my computer, I’ve now learnt that the culprit is my brother who has downloaded 36GB’s of Everybody Loves Raymond.

red-mess:
There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?”

“You gotta be fucking kidding me.”

Making friends who know how to resolve conflict is... →
It’s nice to be a part of community that values communication. … when someone is bothered by something I did, they tell me (me, not other people!) right away, and we resolve it, and that’s that. Like “you didn’t take out the trash last night or you finished the last beer” doesn’t turn into “you’re a horrible person and a terrible friend and I hate you forever” after a few months of stewing over...

brokennoise replied to your post: I made the mistake of driving down to McDonalds…
dude, pajamas are the ONLY fit attire for going though the mcdonalds drive-thru. it’s like when you’re hungry at 3 a.m. and you go to IHOP: the “international house of pancakes” is the only restaurant worth going to at that time.
Yes! Pajamas are normally part of the drive-through dress code. But surely the...

I made the mistake of driving down to McDonalds for my brother and choosing the drive-through. I was stuck for several minutes talking to a guy in my same highschool grad year that was now a manager, doing the whole ‘so how are things?’ as I waited for my nuggets.. in my pajamas.
I realised that while I was judging him for his working position, he was judging me to be sitting in a...

The Crickets Have Arthritis
by Shane Koyczan
It doesn’t matter why I was there, where the air is sterile and the sheets sting. It doesnt matter that I was hooked up to this thing that buzzed and beeped every time my heart leaped like a man who’s faith tells him God’s hands are big enough to catch an airplane, or a world. It doesn’t matter that I was curled up like a fist protesting death, or that...
