Jason is the name of one of my exes that loved very much. We broke up over distance, so it was a very hard one to move on from.

I was coming here to post it!

That was what I thought, too! But then I realized that no, it’s probably not that.

If it makes you feel better, Kinki Kids is actually a pop duo, named for the region they’re from.

But it’s a secret rectangle! That’s cool, right?

The reason for things like that is that many GPS units (especially older ones) don’t have any information on parking lots. The amount of data collected and updated for the maps is incredible, and adding parking lots is a ton of work, so many older units just have road information. It’s frustrating for the user,…

No, that’s too much to ask.

Oh, we live plenty! We just do it with meth houses. And 24-hour diners. And no alcohol in the grocery stores. Do you like windbreaks? We have lots of them. Time to party!

Haha, this is what I have learned from posting that! :D I didn’t really realize how much an ounce of weed was, and now I know that that’s probably not an amount you’d stick in your shoe or whatever. That’s what I get for being such a square!

That sounds awful. I wish it were easier for people to travel with the stuff they really need.

That’s true (my squarishness betrays me! I didn’t know if an ounce of weed was a lot, but it seems so)! I meant it as a “what might fly in X place may get you in a surprising amount of trouble in Y place”.

I worked at an NGO in Brazil that was very serious that if they heard of any illegal substances, they would turn you over to the Brazilian police force. Alcohol was permitted on-site, so it wasn’t like they didn’t let us have pretty free reign over what we were doing. Just nothing illegal.

I don’t get why nudity is funny. I think it’s sort of a counterpoint to nudity being sexy/illicit, but I’ve never found it humorous. I also have a number of nudist friends, so maybe that’s dampened the humor.

I would definitely prefer my brother keep his clothes on. We are not a naked family and that would be really creepy and upsetting to me, and I would not visit him if he felt the need to flash family members.

If you’re going internationally, remember that TSA is a US-based organization, and other countries may have much more stringent checks and severe penalties for bringing it, including incarceration and massive fines, and likely a ban from traveling in that country again.

I was never a fan of low-rise. I felt like my butt was always visible when I sat down and to this day, I don’t like to wear shirts that don’t cover my butt.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but since I can’t have penetrative sex, that conversation in Chasing Amy about what losing virginity is has been a very useful tool in talking about what sex is.

This is actually one of the reasons that I sometimes ask (I want the person to think about it, and if they feel comfortable, I don’t mind knowing). I want to know how sex is defined for that person, because if they only consider “real” sex to be penetrative, then they will never be satisfied in a relationship with me.…

I feel you. I’ve slowly gained and lost the same “extra” weight since high school, and boy, I sure do feel better about myself when I’m thinner, even if nothing else has changes. When I am kind of depressed, I eat a lot. When I’m very depressed, I eat nothing at all. Sometimes, I fantasize about being so depressed I…

My sister had a destination wedding (for our family, but just a short drive for her) because we have a massive family and my mom thinks it’s necessary to invite every person she’s ever worked with and perhaps spoken to in passing, so it was about to balloon out of control in the finances department (uninviting people…
