Perhaps it's a black thing? I've lived in southwest PA my entire life and I FUCKING LOVE grits. In fact, I think I might buy some while I'm out.

That is heart breaking. My deepest sympathies to you.

HOLY SHIT! My boyfriend and I were just talking about Surge the other day! I might actually buy some if it has the caffeine equivalent to Mt. Dew. Because I hate Mt. Dew.

I can't with that derpy ass face he's making. What, did he get shampoo in his eyes?

I'm trying to get myself on a steady, non-procrastinating schedule. Because taking 5 classes is going to require it. I'm currently playing catchup because I'm behind on everything already.

That's a pretty fair assessment to me as someone who's lived in southwestern PA the entirety of my life and doesn't even eat all the local specialties. We seem to be a bit of an unadventurous lot, haha. I don't think I've actually had any authentic Chinese food, tbh. Then again, I'm somewhat of a picky eater (*ducks…

Mekong in Dormont is pretty tasty. It's got your typical American Chinese fair, but they also have a few Vietnamese dishes, I believe. The people there are the nicest! Good thing is, if it doesn't float your boat, there's a Thai place (Thai Spoon) in the next block. Haven't tried that, though.

The only thing that got me out of the depths of it was when I had surgery and had to stop excessively exercising and constant restriction. As I was laid up in bed, I realized I was SO. OVER. IT. I had taken something that was fun (Dance Dance Revolution, lol) and turned it into a massive chore that HAD to be done…

Yeah! Eating disorder sad-five!

That's true, and I'm somewhat familiar with all those brands. They mostly have a "nude" or mocha color, or sometimes a rare chocolate brown. The other problem is that they all cost an arm and a leg as well.

god, that sounds awful. For now, I've just been doing everything possible to make these about 7 camis I have work. I had to safety pin the strap of one today.

It's because you're dark-skinned, and the contrast from your skin tone to the color of your bra isn't dramatic enough to show through the shirt. I too made the assumption about black bras being the base line when I was a bit younger. I pretty much only buy black bras because all my shirts are so damn thin, even with…

MySkins doesn't go above a 38 band or D cup. So, fairly limited range.

Or if Target carried your size. Which they don't carry mine. Then again, only brick and mortar store remotely near me that carries my size is Nordstrom's.

I LOATHE white bras, especially since my mother wouldn't let me get any other color when I was a kid. "Black bras are for adults and fast girls," was her logic. SUCKED FOR BROWN SKINNED ME. THANKS MOM.

I'm a few shades darker than milk chocolate, and I've always just used black or other dark colors. I used to have a dark purple bra that worked well too. But since my tits are ginormous I've only been able to afford/find black.

Hahaha, that is true! However, I am contemplating a computer science degree and I would definitely need to improve my math skills if I want to do that.

My camis are all falling apart, but it's so frustrating because 1) I'm broke and 2) I'm plus-size so they're even more expensive! I'm lucky if the Deb shop has them for their 4 for $24 sale, but I need more than four because EVERY DAMN SHIRT is so sheer! Why can't they come in packs like guys' undershirts?!

I'm realizing more and more that a lot of my "picky-ness" with food is more of a texture issue than a taste issue. Example: My boyfriend swears up and down that chai milkshakes and frappes taste like pumpkin pie. I LOOOOVE chai anything, but I absolutely HATE pumpkin pie. But I like pumpkin rolls!

My boyfriend and I are kind of like this. He's absolutely brilliant in math, physics, and the sciences in general, but he can't spell for shit. I always have to tell him how to spell a lot of surprising things. But meanwhile, I regularly forget what 7 + 8 is and other super simple math. We tease each other about it…
