I'm feeling similarly, and I think it might be because the Zimmerman verdict has left me feeling really say and emotionally raw, so that this coming on top of it (even though I barely watch the show anymore and never felt much of a connection to Monteith) feels like a heavier blow than it might have otherwise.

Thanks!

Related question: I adore the kind of music that, in movies, usually indicates that you're in France. Basically, romantic accordion music. Can anyone recommend any artists/albums I should check out?

Makes sense.

I'm a poetry-in-general snob. I love a full range of styles and forms, but some poems just piss me off with their badness, shallow imagery, cliches, etc. The poem from President Obama's second inauguration, for instance. It saddened me with its mediocrity.

I actually went through school being taught to use two spaces after a period. It wasn't until college that I was told differently; it took getting used to, but now two spaces looks wrong to me.

How about when people constantly mispronounce actors' names? I have a friend who calls Cillian Murphy "Sillian." Every time. Even though people have corrected her.

Relatedly, people who think those "diary of a dog's day" things are hilarious. Yes, dogs like to eat and sleep and chase balls. Pretending to be a dog saying those things is not particularly clever. Same goes for the cat ones. I am so confused by how people think those are funny.

I hated that movie SO MUCH. It was highly recommended to me by a friend, so I watched the whole thing, but I spent the whole time thinking about how awful it was and how much I hated almost everything about it and why would my friend think I would like this?

Firstly, lots of hugs/tea/cookies or whatever makes you feel better. That is a SUPER stressful thing to have happen and TERRIBLE timing.

It kinda sounds like you might want to have a chat with this dude. Something along the lines of, "wanna get a drink sometime?" or "I like you a lot. Would you be interested in dating, maybe?"

Sorry for your loss; it's wonderful that you were able to enjoy your family, though. One of my best memories of childhood was of a relative's funeral (I hadn't known her very well), where my mom and all her cousins sat around and told the greatest stories about when they were kids, and I learned so much about our…

This one! Actually, I love a lot of his songs. "Salut les Amoureux" and "Le Moustique" are fantastic.

Check out Band of Skulls (especially the song "I know what I am").

When I make a single cup of tea for myself [I'm USian], I do milk first (which I can eyeball because of experience) with the tea bag (Typhoo for preference, but I'll drink mostly anything), then boiling water. And I let it steep for a long while. When I make a pot, it's tea first, then milk (because I need to adjust…

Decor! If you have ceramic angels/santas/animals in your house and/or a Thomas Kincaid afghan (Thomas Kincaid anything, really), I am totally judging you.

Thanks. I like to think of him as a learning experience.

Me, too!

I have no clue who/what that is, but it gave me an awful flashback to my college boyfriend. He thought the most attractive girls were the ones who never let their anger, stress, or damage show. Because god forbid we react with anger or resentment to abuse or have emotional baggage like, you know, human beings who have…
