PREACH!!!
Pfffft, aren't the first borns the ones you practise on and make all the mistakes with before you have your second and infinitely more wonderful child?
+1 at the baby books! I STILL riff on my mom because I'm the only one of my siblings — youngest of 5 — whose baby book is mostly empty. She doesn't even remember my first word.
Eh, I'd say we lastborns accomplish less because we grow up permanently & preëmptively grounded as fallout from our elder siblings' shenanigans. Nobody even notices us until we get to college - if then. Firstborns, on the other hand, get baby books full of Really Important Firsts, and aren't punished/stifled/shunted…
My feelings on this can be expressed thusly
Yeah, Australia is racist-as-fuck (Sorry Aussies, not all of you are like this, but come on, you still have televised blackface)
Jesus, Mississippi thinks these guys should tone it down.
I've got your happy people RIGHT HERE
Perez has moved to New York, we learn, because he wants to surround himself with happy people and become happier himself.
Error. Error. Error. Does not compute.
I PLAY WITH A BLACK AND RED DECK I DON'T FUCK AROUND.
Also: WHEN HE ASKS FOR "HONEST CRITICISM" OF HIS NOVEL/PORTFOLIO/THOUGHTJOURNAL, DO NOT BE HONEST.
Ugh, those days in high school where I was hyper-aware of my own popularity, or lack thereof were just awful, and social media could only have made that worse. But for some reason, despite me being very secure in myself in the real world, on Jezebel I feel like I am in high school again.
I dig this actually. Lets face it. Sex can be an overrated activity. High in risk and low in reward. I know its not for everyone but I've been celibate for the past 15 years or so (no reason really I just couldn't be bothered with sex anymore.) It cut a lot of the stressful bullshit out of my life. I also learned that…
This one is going to eat all the smaller ones.
I like it. Certainly, people get by with names chosen on far more unusual logic (and names that weren't names at all, until they were given them), and it seems to be a perfectly ordinary and common reason to give it to her. Besides, you never know when there might be an Eulalia boom.
That's what middle names are for!
It makes me really sad when I hear people say things like that about being lonely because they don't have a partner. And not as in boo-hoo that is just awful, but in why don't you enjoy life now and trust that it'll happen when the time is right? I've never had a relationship and I'm 28, and yes, sometimes I wonder…
