Thanks again for the truly helpful response! I will keep it short, but will hopefully be able to update a bit some time later. I am very fortunate to have several friends nearby, as well as friends who I can call. I am a bit of a recluse when I deal with troubling emotions, though, so we will see. I will talk with him…

Thank you, too - I really appreciate your input. Let me respond to your main questions first:
I can say that to 1) He would sponsor me, but I have different visa options (German citizenship), plus an old employer who offered to sponsor me as well - so I am not dependent on him, at least. 2) Pretty much yes. And 3) was…

Hi Allora,
Thanks for your message - it's the other way around for me (European about to move to Canada), and it is both relationship-based and closely connected to future plans based. I wrote about it here: http://jezebel.com/sunday-night-s…
Short version: I am about to finish my Master's, and set everything on moving…

Thanks for your message, I really, really appreciate it.
Talking about it is one thing, but writing makes it a bit different to deal with - maybe because it is closer to actually sorting all the thoughts that have been making me a bit crazy these days.

Well, to go straight the the "red flag:" We've known each other for…

This relates to my old post, and weird shit happening in my life at the moment. I am about to move abroad (to Canada, from Europe, that is), next year, around March/April. My partner is Canadian and we have been doing the long-distance thing (with several year long stints of mine in Canada) for over fours years now.…

Thanks, I appreciate it - a lot of emotions and not-being-able-t0-do-much at the moment, but little boosts of energy (even online) are strangely comforting. :)

As I am *this* close on cancelling my long-term move to a different continent next year, where I wanted start a family and a new career, and for which I worked for over the past five years, this is disturbingly comforting. FML

Lindy,
Not sure if you will read this from where you are, but there is somebody with tears in her eyes sitting here, across the Atlantic, in the Netherlands, very sad to see you leave. Jezebel has become a part of my daily life and my view on the world (especially at times when I disagree and see the cultural…

To be honest: the only movie with him I love, LOVE, is Lars and the Real Girl. Indie, lovely, awesome.

Uh.... Not sure what just happened here...

Naw, I didn't mean it like that... sorry. The internet plus writing in a different language.
In between her moments of laughter she fixes her hair and her lips curl a certain way - like in the still from the video. It happens a bunch of times, and maybe she just tried to remain serious for his bit, but it distracted…

I love all of this, but I am slightly distracted by Olivia Wilde's (albeit gorgeous) constant sex face. I am giving her the benefit of the doubt and will just believe that she is completely overdoing it for the sake of keeping up with Billy Eichner.

I'm not from the US, but once he became a cast member of Parks and Rec I found myself googling "Billy Eichner + Honeybadger" just to be sure, so definitely!
Plus: I approve of your nickname.

Wow, the second time in one week soemebody from the Netherlands gets arrested for thinking they are free to do whatever on the internet. I'm living there right now, and I am surprised how internet-savvy even the youngest are. For the first time in my life I actually know people who write horrible comments on the…

Jared Buzzell said he was on his way to search for mushrooms in Minot

No more Hudson River Whitefish?!

I love, love, love the cover. But this finger nail freaks me out.

Sadly, as I'm currently worried about my laptop being hacked and somebody watching me via my webcam, this might as well be me. Better get dressed now.

Yes, Joe Biden! But Uh, Richard Florida....

I remember exactly when I was sold: The Hunting Episode, Leslie's conversation with the park ranger (exactly the one Rashida Jones mentions in the clip). So good.
