nooooooooo

On the contrary I think this dude had painfully blue balls while writing this.

The worst part was that I was in south Louisiana, where the embrace the European/Latin practice of the cheek-kiss greeting. So I’d always have these old work aquiantance guys dodging my handshake to go in for a kiss. It was my personal nightmare.

I used to be a newspaper reporter and since I was constantly talking to older men I developed kind of an overcompensation handshake (yes I am a young 20-something woman coming to interview you FEEL MY HAND STRENGTH). It was always super awkward when I’d approach someone my dad’s age with my Firm Business Handshake and…

That’s the thing though... I’m an every other day washer. I have thick/course/dark/wavy hair but I also work out every day and live on the Gulf Coast which basically becomes a massive armpit in the summer. If I don’t wash my hair every other day I’m disgusting, and I don’t just mean greasy but also kinda smelly. If I…

Haha. That’s cool. I’m a white lady who grew up around the same time as peak Selena fandom down here in Corpus. I love her musical in a kind of nostalgic way and I don’t 100 percent understand the continued fevered worship of her but I know that it’s not “for” me and if other people get a sense of worth or…

Oh lord, are you kidding? Yes there are hospital-borne infections and they’re terrible but telling people that they should stay out of ERs and hospitals is just dumb. And I must be an expert too because my mom is a surgical nurse, my dad is a biolgist and my boyfriend is a microbiologist.

Eh, a lot of people love her and feel like they’re honoring her legacy. I live in Corpus Christi, home of the Selena statue, the Selena museum, and the Selena festival, which like tens of thousands of people come to, so honestly there’s a certain segment of the population that is still really emotionally attached and…

I could never, even if I spent more time browsing it than buying from it because my mom was MEAN.

Yeah my god man is that what we looked like in the early 2000s? I’m not gonna lie I was all in it for the trashy boho and costume jewelry look but I sincerely hope I didn’t look like I rolled around in the Claire’s and Wet Seal bargain bin every day.

Yeah I have complicated feelings about it because I feel like the show has lost some of the nuanced plotting since it veered away from the books in favor of rapidly decluttering the stage and engaging in some BOOM! WOOSH! DRAGONS MOTHAFUCKA! fan service, but at the same time God damn you GRRM after reading 50,000…

FWIW, in the books she is just balls-out crazy and power mad because she feels like she’s been pushed down by all the men in her life and climbs so close to the throne (plus all her kids keep getting murdered). It seems they’ve tried to make her character more sympathetic in the show but in the books she’s like a…

Has there been any word on how they’re going to handle the SPOILERSPOILER age jump? SPOILER SPOILER

Yeah... I work out every day and I live in south Texas. I wash my hair every other day but even that is pushing it sometimes because I am OILY.

My sister and my boyfriend are both teachers. I get super tired of people castigating teachers while also paying them shit and hampering their ability to do their jobs.

This is perfect.

Yeah... I mean they probably shouldn’t have been putting their shit in writing, but my boyfriend taught teenagers and they ragged on him every single day, hit him, stole anything that wasn’t nailed down in his classroom, etc. That’s gonna either beat you down or make you angry. He would come home and freak out to me…

When I was living in Louisiana there was a fellow who would drive into neighborhoods wearing mesh thong underwear and get out and bend over to spread his butt under the guise of digging around in his car or would stop and ask people for directions to fictional addresses so they could get an eyeful of his get up. The…

Yeah, I guess it’s more obvious to people who live in the swamp, but alligators are everywhere down here. When I lived in south Louisiana, once the weather warmed up, I literally saw an alligator almost every day.

I’m from Louisiana. In swampy areas, there are alligators literally everywhere. They live side by side with humans. It’s their natural habitat. And Disney World was built in the middle of the swamp. Attacks are honestly pretty rare but alligator populations have been increasing due to wildlife management (they were…
