That's very kind of you.
Finding Neverland has been known to send me into an emotional tailspin too.

I feel the same way: I'm far from a perfect person, still wouldn't call anyone a "homo", let alone drop the "f-bomb".
Part of it may be a generational thing: I'm in my early twenties, my dad is in his late fifties.

I see where you're coming from, but I still respectfully disagree.
I once heard my dad refer to an incredibly rude and condescending cop with the word "homo", and he is an honest to goodness ally who has been a best man at a gay wedding, socializes with many gay men and women and has all but adopted my best friend…

I agree with you to a point. Yes, the hurtfulness of this word is rooted in the idea that homosexuality is wrong somehow.
Yes, that is why homophobes use this word as an insult.

Well, I think the main point we disagree on is whether or not Hill is actually a homophobe. I think he isn't. I think he just lashed out, using a term that is general considered hurtful, in the heat of the moment, having been hounded by a paparazzo for a considerable length of time.

That seems like an incredibly cynical take on this apology. While I'm sure that many people in the public eye (including Woods, perhaps) use faux-apologies to protect their image and marketability, that not the vibe I'm getting from Hill at all.

This reminds me of the time when my dad let the word "homo" slip after a police officer was completely rude, condescending and belligerent to him for no apparent reason.
He felt freaking terrible about it afterwards, even though he said it after he'd rolled up the car window and I was the only one to hear it.

I agree with 99.9% of what you're saying.
Could have done without that little jab at the end there, though.

No, I didn't. I was unaware of that. I 'm not a native speaker. Thanks for correcting me, I'll fix it.

I was really *tootsi-frootsi* sad to hear about this.
Craig truly has it all: insight, charm, wit…
And a genuine interest in other human beings, as demonstrated by his casual, intimate interviews.
All you need to do is watch his monologues on alcoholism and Britney Spears to see that he is so much more than your average…

I recently stumbled upon some old diaries as well. That was the day that I found out that I was a full-blown curmudgeonly old woman at age 10.

My weekend was pretty nice and relaxed. My parents were away, so I stayed at their place to watch their pets and the house. As a thank-you, they'd stocked the fridge and pantry with a bunch of nice stuff, so I spent my time munching on a load of organic fruits and veggies.

My BMI is 19,3. I weight 64 kg (141 pounds).

Saw this in the theatre two weeks ago.
I'm not gonna lie, I cried towards the end. I thought it was a sweet film with some great performances, especially by Nighy and Gleeson. And it had some beautiful imagery.

Who?

Thank you for your kind reply: everyone's advice really has been great, yours included.

Looks like I'll be cutting myself and everyone around me some slack. That actually sounds really nice.

Aw, thank you, that really does make me feel better,

Replying super late, I'm sorry, but I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to write all this really nice (and wise!) stuff.

Aw, thank you. That's a great example of a remark that I feel would leave me completely flustered. Good on you for being able to laugh it off, and rightfully so.
