"Are there any guys out there who are JUST NORMAL?! HUH?!" ~ Roadtrip

jaimeleigh:

Wait…so at the end of her long story about how crazy and undesirable this guy is and how she’s not at all interested and she doesn’t understand why he won’t leave her alone she’s….still willing to let him sleep on her couch? I don’t know…I’d call those some serious mixed messages! If I’m weirded out by a guy who is moving too fast and I’m totally turned off by every aspect of his existence I think I might…cancel the date. And…not offer up my couch.

If this guy is confused about where he stands with her….well, I’d say rightly so!

I was more concerned about her safety. This guy is not getting it. He already disregarded her specific instructions to find somewhere else to stay. Seems like he might have trouble remembering that he is supposed to stay on the couch.

Two things: First, WTF Tumblr? Why do you sometimes drop a follow? Kat, somehow I wasn’t following you. Bizarre. This has now been corrected! Second, I agree—this is not a safe situation for her. The guy is not listening to her. I guess…and this is a slippery slope and can easily be misconstrued…but at the point where she is aware that he’s not listening to/respecting her boundaries, the date needs to be off—no date, no drinks, certainly no sleeping on the couch. I think he has a responsibility to not put her in this position and she has a responsibility to not allow him to manipulate her into this situation. He needs to know—explicitly—what decision she is making (no date) and why she’s making it (you are not respecting my boundaries and I cannot trust you). Am I off base? I could be…I just feel like agreeing to let him stay in her home despite being opposed to the idea may contribute to a significantly worse situation.

in a month, how much money do you spend on booze?

y'all, I am so hung over

So very, very hung over. Oprah’s done in 2011? That’s crazy. Oprah’s been on television doing her thing for my entire life. Twenty five seasons. Also, I saw the men who stare at goats the other day and I laughed my ass off. Pure fun…a little dark, sure…but still fun. And it felt like a visit with the dude…fuckin’ A.

It’s November 20…and it’s still silly warm outside. How ‘bout that?

Anyhoo, I mentioned I’m crazy hung over, right? I am! How are you?

did we ever figure out what we're calling this decade?

‘Cuz “the aughts” still sounds like barf to me.

what ought we call it?

Come on peeps, it’s The Nads.

making my blood boil/fuck the TTC/somebody is making $100,000+ a year to make change

The TTC recently approved a dramatic fare increase, making Toronto’s transit system the most expensive to use in the country. A monthly pass shot up from $109 to $121—five dollars less than the proposed $126. Now, if the service was decent I doubt as many people would be as upset as they are about this. But the truth is that the Toronto Transit Commission is unreliable, expensive, and unlikely to improve.

So the fact that so many TTC employees, including operators and fucking fare collectors are listed here is galling. (The “Sunshine List” is a public list of all Ontario civil servants who earn over $100,00/year.)

That somebody sitting in a booth watching people deposit their fares could earn at least twice what a school teacher earns is absolutely beyond belief.

Fucking PRIVATIZE it already.

Principals, Bus Driver Ignored Pleas for Help from High School Student Beaten with Metal Pipe for Being Gay

This makes me sick to my stomach. The kind of isolation of being in danger and knowing that no one will help you. Thank god someone finally intervened, or we might have had another casualty. How do we stop this!?:

Jayron Martin, a 16-year-old student at Langham Creek High School near Houston, was attacked by a group of students on November 12 because he’s gay. Martin said he heard the boys were planning the attack and asked two principals and a bus driver for help, but was ignored.

Martin’s fears were confirmed when he was chased off his school bus and assaulted for seven minutes by a boy with a metal pipe while eight others watched. The attack was stopped by a property owner nearby who scared the gang away with a shotgun.

Said Martin, who is afraid to go back to school: “All they kept saying was, ‘We going to get you. We going to fight you,’ and all that and so when they started coming after me they were like, ‘You’re not going to be gay anymore.’ They just kept hitting me…You don’t understand, I was just running for my life and nobody was like there at all. Nobody was doing anything for me.”

Martin suffered a concussion, cuts and bruises. The 16-year-old who beat him has been arrested. No other arrests have been made.

Appropo of yesterday’s ridiculous debate, would this qualify as a hate crime or would that be an example of the (gasp!) thought police too?

on the stupid fucking anti-rules that are supposed to appeal to girls who are too progressive to accept the conventional rules:

For fuck’s sake, this shit is retarded. Telling a girl “on a date, order the steak” is approximately as fucked up as telling a girl “on a date, order salad and a water.” How about “order whatever the fuck you want”? Why do people think that the answer to antiquated/oppressive dogma is contrarian dogma?

The Gay Animal Kingdom

givemesomethingtoread:

Giraffes have all-male orgies. So do bottlenose dolphins, killer whales, gray whales, and West Indian manatees. Japanese macaques, on the other hand, are ardent lesbians; the females enthusiastically mount each other. Bonobos, one of our closest primate relatives, are similar, except that their lesbian sexual encounters occur every two hours. Male bonobos engage in “penis fencing,” which leads, surprisingly enough, to ejaculation. They also give each other genital massages.

Reblogged for the phrases “ardent lesbians” and “penis fencing”

Hot.

how is this allowed?

Last night while watching television (and suffering from major anxiety over my first time being totally stoned in front of my boyfriend) the channel accidentally and randomly switched. The tv was on mute and I didn’t know what it’d switched to, but there was a man talking and at the bottom of the screen it said “cancer cured in 4 days!” I reached to de-mute the television, incredulous as to what kind of a product they might be trying to sell. I think I even said out loud “Wait, they can’t claim that a product cures cancer in four days…that’s not allowed!”

As soon as it became clear what it was, it all made sense. The product they were selling was god. They claimed prayer, or some such bullshit, cured his cancer in four days.

Again I ask—how is this allowed? I couldn’t start selling a pill on television, claiming it cures cancer, if it didn’t in fact cure cancer. So how are religious infomercials allowed to spew lies that are equally dangerous? What the fuck?

you know how we excised she who will not be named from the dashboard? Can we do that with Sarah Palin too?

I’m just so over hearing about that stupid, stupid cunt. Like, maybe if we ignore her and her press tour it’ll be like that whole tree falling in a forest thing. Maybe?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes - Three Year Anniversary Today

A contract made in heaven.

maybe my eye will stop twitching if I get an influx of followers.

Ahem.

the more stressed I am, the more my eye/eyelid twitches--should I worry about this?

If nothing else, it is super motherfucking annoying.

This is your brain on shrugs.
