Ahahahaha I love both of those stories! It would suck to be so spoiled by something magnificent that you could never enjoy lesser versions again. Ahh, ever since that time I had 5 orgasms, sex with fewer than 4 just seems pointless, you know? And I once ate the world’s most decadent cake; now all sweet things taste…

I am sure your brother and his wife were very sweet and excited! Sometimes I just loathe the guy I was talking about so much that I just HAVE to tell people about him, you know? But I shouldn’t have even slightly tarred them with the same brush.

Man I love the Ponds so much.

I’m with you. He is definitely symmetrical, but when he speaks, he feels on the cusp of exploding with rage. Even his “casual” scenes feel really forced, like he wants you to think he’s chill so you don’t know that you just got to him (even though you really weren’t trying to get to him at all; he’s just THAT insecure)

Gahhh, this is pretty different because it sounds like your brother and his partner are doing this right after their wedding, but I know this awful guy who apparently does this all. the. time. Like, years away from either of his two weddings, he is telling flights, hotels, etc. that it is he and [woman]’s honeymoon.…

Gender reveal parties fucking kill me. I get that the rest of it you sometimes have to* do because of pressure from parents/interested parties, but NO ONE has to have a gender reveal. You are doing that shit by choice, you MONSTER. Also they are always, always lame. I have never seen a gender reveal party and thought,…

Yeah, my fiance and I are getting married in his hometown, so technically we will be on holiday (outside of our own city) for several days before the wedding. I mean, it’s because we have to meet with the vendors we haven’t actually seen for 6 months (it’s a 5-hour trip to his hometown; we don’t make it a lot) and…

I agree with all of this except

Ummmm, my life plan ends with me retiring to my private island planet to avoid all the ceaseless accolades from pioneering planetary colonization, thus eradicating hunger and overcrowding issues. I’ve obviously got to think more than five years ahead if I want to be realistic about this happening.

I would bet it’s regional to a degree. I am from New Orleans and have rarely been to a wedding there without a band, but weddings I’ve been to in less musical cities have featured DJs. I’d imagine it’s about the saturation level of musicians in your city. It’s easy to find an affordable wedding band when every other…

Why didn’t your friend take your mom’s advice? How weird. If a single person could have offered me any advice at all about any of my vendors, I would have been all over it - especially if that person was experienced in the industry and trusted.

It’s also a weird argument of semantics people are attacking you with because, like...duh it is the last/worst choice. Nobody wants an abortion. I can’t imagine anyone being like, “So glad the birth control failed; now I can get my abortion!” The best case scenarion is obviously not getting pregnant, with abortion…

Fuuuuck BBQ rice chips sound amazing.

Generally speaking I agree, but it’s possible that, at this level, there really isn’t as much of a power difference. She is a world-class athlete and has been for some time, so it’s not like she is entirely dependent on her coach. He is a famous tennis coach who could easily get other jobs, so it’s not like he is a…

Oh man, the greys. Such a complicated disaster.

My younger sister and I got our permitted biking distances extended at the same time, and I am still pretty mad about that, so I can’t even imagine this injustice. I remember begging my parents to let me go ONE MORE BLOCK just so I would still have older sister jurisdiction, but they wouldn’t budge.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I will say that I suck at visualizing based on descriptions in books. Like, if someone is described as “reminiscent of a hedgehog on a fence,” I have GOT that. That means something to me (not literally that, but something abstract). Say that a character is blonde, say it 87 times, and I will still have to take a stab…

Eloquent, maybe? Although it isn’t always the case, and I do use the word “articulate” a lot, I think that in some contexts it sounds like “passable.” Like, she is “up to standards.” Whereas “eloquent” suggests that she is above the standards one might expect, and exceptional.
