At my son's soccer game tonight I said, "our goalie sucks". My wife then pointed out the goalie's dad was about five feet away. Oops.

Ugh, I'm gonna make it one night without crying. I need him.yay, Jackass is on!
YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So I got a hair waxing kit today, except it's really easy. you warm the waxing strips between your hands, and you apply it, and rip! no microwaving or anything like that, and guess what!!!
IT WORKED!!!!! I DON'T HAVE A MUSTACHE ANYMORE!!!!!!!! I'm working on the chin hair, but you guys, I've had a mustache since I was 8 years old, so you have NO IDEA HOW FUCKING EXCITED I AM!
WOOOOTTTTT. PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT ME AND NOT MY MUSTACHE! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN GET MARRIED NOW!
Yay, Britt! I'm for anything that makes you feel more confident and self-empowered. :)
I'm wearing lipstick/lipgloss that's way too magenta for me, but I LOVE IT and I don't want to take it off. WHAT TO DO
because parasitic flatworms and tapeworms are both parasites, and because they are both cool (who can control an ant and not be cool?):http://theoatmeal.com/comics/captain_...
Kevin, I was totally about to respond to your post, but you deleted it.
Britt, I am glad you are happy with the waxing and don't be so hard on yourself!

That is really very cute and fascinating!!! Well-narrated. I highly recommend the story of Captain Higgins and his Higlets... not graphic or gross at all. :)
UGH! The school year hasn't started yet, and I already sorta kinda have a crush on a boy. A FRESHIE at that!But I'm not his type :( :( :( :( :( He likes my jokes though. UGHHHHHHHH WHY AM I NOT HIS TYPE??????? I MAKE YOU LAUGH! ISN'T THAT ENOUGH??? For once, let it be enough.
Britt . . . keep at it! you never know, boys love a girl who is a lot of fun! :)
My seven year old looked at me, quite seriously, a few nights back and said, "You have a nosehair problem."Sorry about the "type" thing, Britt. I wonder about the type thing a lot.
I wonder about it too. I've always thought it translates to "I don't think you're cute." Because it does. I mean, we listen to the same music...sorta, and he thinks I'm really funny, I think he's really quirky and tall, and I like quirky and tall, so basically, yeah, that's it. He doesn't think I'm cute, but he can go shove it because I don't give a fuck. Soon I'm gonna be with someone who does think I'm smart and funny and cute and appreciates my sexuality, so this dude can kiss my ass. Oh well. Boys are blaahhhhhhh anyway.

The first week of school and you're already having that type of conversation with a guy? Seems awfully quick to me. Personally, it would take me longer than that to get to know someone well enough to make that sort of determination.
I am picturing Phil wearing a cardigan, with a tobacco pipe in his hand, looking serious.
I haven't told him that I like him. I just know that I'm not his type.And I don't like him. I only sorta kinda like him. See, whenever a guy is remotely nice to me, I develop a crush on him, and then I get mad at him when he doesn't want me, and then we're cool after that....sorta. I still kinda dislike him deep inside, but I can talk to him.
Okay, my school is predominately white, and there was a cookie social for the floor that I live on. My best friend and I (also suitemates, also black) went to the social, and like, we were our normal selves, but people kept gravitating away from us. we were funny and social, and nice, but the crowd just left us, and we think it's because we were two of the few black people there. I mean, we're also the only two sophomores on the hall (our dorm is known as a "freshman" dorm, but it also has 98 single rooms to choose from), and I think we were a bit "older" then the people there, but everything that our friends love about us...it just didn't catch with them, I don't know, it's weird.Whatever. I'm tired of being "the black girl."
Thanks, Misha. I mean, I don't know, he's really nice to me, but it's way too early to tell anything, but maybe it is my insecurities. Now I have to catch a bus so I can get to my British lit class. Wordsworth in the morning! Great! Not really!
Britt, I say don't even worry/think about a "relationship" so early. Just hang out, have fun, be yourself, and let nature take its course. I have worked in a primarily male work force for years and I listen to and participate in the banter. A guy will definitely let you know if he is interested in more than just friends. I think it is best not to over think this kind of stuff.

Stay away from boys until we're oh, at least 35. Until then, we usually drink to excess and possess all the charm of a quivering, sickly dog that perpetually soils the floor.

I have to remember that when a guy is nice to me, maybe he's just a genuinely nice guy. It's not a signal. I read into everything.

But if boys are still single by 35 then you are best avoided at all costs because you lack commitment.

Oh noooo, I must take issue with this sweeping generalization. It depends on the individual.
if the boy/man is 35 and living in his parent's basement, THEN stay away from him...
Oh but LG, I love a sweeping generalisation.

Ha ha ha!!! Awww, poor guy.
I'm surprised no one's chimed in about a generalization on single women over 35. I'd fit that demographic.
Barb wrote: "There's a generalization about that?All that means is that the men smart enough to snatch you up have been snatched up already. It also means that you're secure enough in yourself that you didn'..."
I'm in agreement. My post was more of a dare, actually... ;)
But Phil that means you weren't single before you were 35. I am assuming of couse that it wasn't an arranged marriage. That you did have some kind of relationship with your wife before you married.
I know a lot of cool single women in their thirties, but all my male friends in their thirties are losers, so I don't set them up.
RandomAnthony wrote: "I know a lot of cool single women in their thirties, but all my male friends in their thirties are losers, so I don't set them up."You've mentioned this before now. Most of the single guys in their 30s who I know are not losers... just commitmentphobes/several-times-burned divorcees.
I am one of the younger ones in my 17th century lit class, and I don't like that. Makes me feel two steps behind everyone else. Wait, so guys my age suck, single men in their mid-30s suck...what?
Britt, I was always the youngest person in my classes (I was two years younger than my grade school/middle school/high school class mates... and considerably younger than most of my college classmates). I didn't let it intimidate me, though... I considered it a challenge to try to outperform them if I could. In fact, some of my class mates would tell me to tone it down because I was making them look bad. I told 'em I wouldn't tone it down, but I'd be willing to help them if they wanted to do the work.
Time to change teams Britt. Men aren't worth the energy you waste on them. Well, maybe one or two of them are. :D
Oh, don't say that! She's still young and hopeful. I love men. Britt, don't give up. Listen to Gail on this point - don't give it so much time or energy. It'll happen if it's supposed to happen. If it doesn't then living an independent life can still be good life.
The key is just going with the flow...

Age 25 to 35 is a good window. At least you have something to look forward to!
I got married at 19! To the first guy that winked at me!! I don't recommend it.
Carol, are you still married?Britt I married at 21 to my nerdy study buddy from college. We were pals for two years before we ever had the idea to go out on a date. BOth of us were on the rebound, and here we are, happily married since 1982.
"Nerdy study buddy" is an interesting description.
I like men! Like, like them, like them. I'm attracted to the fatherly-ness! That's a problem!
I have a guy at work that just idolizes Tiger Woods and thinks Tiger is getting screwed. Today he told me (he is 40 and single) that if he ever gets married he is getting a pre-nup. I asked him if his there would be a section outlining what the consequences for cheating would be since he is a player. He says well women don't like to have sex after they get married. I said well maybe if the men spent a little less time burping and farting and could actually perform women would have sex with them more often. There is a reason for the "cougar" phenomenon!
very cocky( pardon the pun!) and quite the player. He said it is Elin's fault that Tiger cheated. Yea, two babies to take care of and him off doing who knows what and she is to blame. NOT! Anyway, sometimes the guys at work just say that kind of stuff to get me fired up, because they know I will not let them slide on it...but this guy is totally serious!
