In my first semester of university I thought I had finished all my exams until I realized I had still one final exam the next morning (or in 3 hours, depending on how you see it). I had the choice between sleeping 2 hours or last minute cramming. I chose sleep and got the second best score.

One of my former high school classmates had a similar problem. The teacher refused to believe that she hadn’t plagiarized her essay because the language was ‘too refined’ and contained words ‘she couldn’t possibly know the meaning of’ (that classmate wrote for the school newspaper, I read her essay without issues).…

Part of the reason for that was a missunderstanding about thalidomide and birth control pills. Some reports erroneously claimed that thalidomide was a type of bc pills or that bc pills caused those birth defects (I guess some of it got lost in translation because thalidomide was marketed to pregnant women). Even many…

The condoms make a bit of sense at least. From their website:

They sound like a real-life version of Vile Bodies.

A family friend’s favourite response was ‘it’s a Felix’.

A friend regularly has trouble ordering stuff online because the companies ‘only ship within the US’.

Just by reading her description of ‘dark shirts with weird stuff on them’ without looking at the picture my mind went “Has this woman never met people who like metal before?”

Do they know that cutting a ribbon in 4 places doesn’t cut it any better?

Not crazier than me. I don’t cut my hair or have it cut.

My lips have a dark pinkish colour, a bit like ‘garnet’ in this picture.

Some years ago I removed my grandparents’ wedding picture from the frame to look if the date was written on the back. The frame was pretty thick and now I think I know why. I always thought it was just the two of them in the picture, but at their feet lay a flower girl in roughly this pose (with a bit more ennui).

I had a crush on Gordo back then.

Some years ago people found a skeleton when they were digging the foundation for a new house. In the initial analysis, similar to your x-ray, they guessed that it was the skeleton of a 15-year old girl. Then they did a chemical analysis of the bone and upped the age to 20-26.

I always thought they’d have security in such places to prevent old or new Nazis from doing that.

My mother is in her 60s and her wisdom teeth have yet to show up.

For a moment I thought I had Bella and Gigi mixed up again. But that picture doesn’t look like either of them.

I love your pants, at least the little bit I can see.

I’ve been walking on my toes since I was able to walk and started wearing heels as a young teen. You’d never know by looking at my feet. My parents on the other hand have completely destroyed feet. My mother never wears heels, but she always wears the cheapest shoes she can find. That can’t be good either.

My thighs and waist don’t seem to go together. As soon as pants fit somehow over my thighs the waist is way too big and slowly sags down to mid-butt. I can take on/off all my pants without undoing the button or zipper. I even have that problem with palazzo pants.
