Re: 3 days... Ha and :-(

Land of the free!

I grew up in Massachusetts... my much younger brother in Texas. Some of the shit he says makes my jaw drop.

I read it pretty young, too. I kinda want to go to Texas, become a teacher, and make it required reading until I get fired.

I got a 1/4 way through the article and feel a bit ill.

I’m pretty sure we could just ask the Canadians to apologize for making us feel threatened, and everything would be fine.

I love Bernie too, but he makes me anxious. We can’t lose the general election, now or after the first term of whoever gets elected. While I like his policies as much as anyone, like it or not, he’s going to have to work with Congress. And they suck. I don’t want to see him unable to compromise for 4 years and get…

Ok so she just kind of cited something terrorists and Republicans have in common, which isn’t wrong.

Dunno, being married to Bill as long as she has been, I imagine she must have a good sense of humor and an impressive alcohol tolerance.

The thing I like about Miley (well, one of the things) is that she is saying things from the very limited perspective of a very young person. It’s different than listening to someone like Paltrow whose perspective is limited even though she’s older and should be more experienced. I’m looking forward to grown-up Miley…

Same dude... same.

I think you misunderstand me. I’ve been a shy, reserved person my entire life, long before I had any motivation to project any kind of bad attitude. I had trouble making friends even when I was desperate to as a child. I’m not making an *effort* to scare people off or judging anyone unworthy of my attention... it just…

I would totally guess that’s because of life circumstances, or like for SnakeCharmer, a personal choice. I’ve had a lot of family problems and am not comfortable with close work relationships, and I’ve lived in the same place my whole life (so my group includes grade school and high school friends), so I have a few…

Me too me too. “The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get” is like my romantic theme song. And outwardly my two modes are Cold Bitch and I’m In Love With You Now, and nothing in between.

You and me! I’m wicked good at talking to strangers online or at the bar. Otherwise, eh, not so much.

Oh oh oh, this makes me happy. I’m visiting Seattle for the first time in a few weeks, and as a Bostonian, this is pretty much our deal, so I’ll like it there.

I could have written your entire response. Honestly, I think my being reserved is a good way to scare off people who are just looking for shallow interactions. People willing to take time to get to know someone seem more worthwhile as friends anyway.

I hate GWB too, I do, but Reagan takes the cake. Just ignoring that disease while so many people died, including his FRIEND... he was a bad, horrible man. Along with all the other shit he pulled... the war on drugs, UGH seriously. I don’t believe in hell, but I’ll imagine it for a bit just for the satisfaction of…

My little sister is in her early 20s and is always “What is with these kids today???” in regards to their lack of cultural knowledge. We’re not alone!

God I hate Ronald Reagan.
