The latter. Though I believe people do meet up for "worship". Their heaven has a beer fountain.

That poem is pretty reminiscent of The Jabberwocky. All mimsy were the borogroves!

That is beautiful! New spirit animal: found.

BEARS?!

I really wish right now we could all just go "okay, sure" and talk to someone else.

Anyone around to give advice? I just had a panic attack (not unusual for me) in which I lost the ability to speak in more than one- or two-word utterances (never happened before to me). Has this happened to anyone else? I'm inclined to think it's normal, but I'd like reassurance :(

My granddad's border collie used to herd us when we went on walks. He was old, so all that meant was he'd come find me and look concerned and occasionally seem to be trying to imply that maybe I should speed up. I liked the company.

Not silly at all. Regardless of the circumstance, you HAVE lost two people. Even people who it turns out have the potential for great assholery leave gaps in our lives. I hope therapy helps.

I had a girl respond to my attempt to determine why we'd fallen out with a deluge of slut-shaming once! Which was especially bizarre given that I was a virgin... But yeah, she wouldn't tell me why. Mutual friends tried to find out for me and just got conflicting nonsense back. Sometimes, sad as it is, the person who…

Very sorry for your loss. X

Would it be totally impossible just to ask? My exes and I always agreed if presents were happening and approximate price ranges. Maybe it doesn't seem romantic enough to other people though? I'm all about practical romance.

Now, that would be glorious.

Walk into walls. WALLS.

She could be incidentally plus-size though. Nuclear Physicist Princess doesn't have to have a thigh gap.

I personally would prefer they NOT tackle Down Syndrome. There's too much chance - right now, anyway - that they'd get it wrong, or she'd be a total caricature. Something like a learning disorder might be a better first step. And, bonus, if you do Dyspraxia Princess you get to watch her walk into walks again and again…

I thought for a second you meant they should let plus-size women play the existing princesses in their parks. I agree with both your actual statement and the one my brain invented.

DO YOU HAVE A FUCKING BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DAILY MAIL?

I did this to my friend, but with pictures of cats. Put them over every face on every poster in his room and in various locations around his house :D Apparently the most terrifying was the huge cat face I stuck on his WoW poster. I'm still gleeful.

First time I met my ex's cat, I sweat to God it said "who are you?" I coughed, introduced myself, and stared at it in shock. It never did anything to give itself away again, but I know now. I KNOW.

Team Hedgehog. Hedgehogs rule benevolently. Also they are totally not possessive and let you cuddle as many kittens and puppies as you require. Fact.
