Confessions of a 20-something mother

[VelvetElvis]

I really liked BBC's Hex.

[Eaquae Legit]

I have the urge to sneak the line "Ever hear of Socrates? Plato? Aristotle? Morons!" into my paper.

[starlooker]

Do it!

Or, well, not. I might not be the best influence in this case.

[Mich]

I often misquote fantastic 80's movies in my papers.

"Get me... a keg... of beer."

Edited for accuracy.

[Gravity Defier]

Teen Wolf!

Though I'm pretty sure it's "Give me a keg of beer."

The day marking one year since my grandfather's death was 4 days ago, which leads me to this:

Confession: For the past few days, I've been thinking that when I die, no one but the closest family members will go to my funeral.

To be slightly less morbid, if I get married, I think the same applies to my wedding.

[Petra456]

Kind of going off of Alea's last confession...

Confession: I'm scared that when I get married I won't have enough girl friends to have bride's maids (which I really want). If I had to plan now, I would only be able to ask two people, and one doesn't even live here.

[Luet]

Hey, large wedding parties are way overrated. I only had two bridesmaids and one was my husband's sister (soon to be sister-in-law) who quickly became my best friend, but at the time I had only known for 8 months. The other had been my best friend since I was 2 yo but we hadn't been close for a couple years.

Mom Told You...

Confession: I laughed so hard it hurt when I saw what I linked to, above. I am a terrible person.

I did too. All humans laugh at improper situations; nobody knows why.

"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."

[Mich]

Everyone has a little camera whore in them

This made me laugh, and then I felt dirty, even though it was so clearly set-up.

[daPyr0x]

Every time I see helenberry post I think "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA!!!"

I think I would be better at my boss's job than he is.

While everyone else has crazy sexual fantasies (schoolgirl, getting caught, a one-eye'd pirate...) mine just involve being surprised by someone cuddling up next to me in my bed.

I do not know how to make or keep friends without having to bend my life around them with travel.

I'm scared this forthcoming year will be the loneliest one of my life thus far, and I don't know how to stop that from happening.

I still miss her. I wonder if she misses me at all, or even thinks of me ever...

I'm sinking into a depressive slump even though everything is going so well for me, and it scares me.

[VelvetElvis]

My highschool mascot was the warrior. It's now a tshirt, license plate, and rally cry.

Epic Lulz is beating the high score.

"THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA!!!"

And that makes me think of Gerard Butler, which is a very good thing. (He doesn't know it yet, but he's going to marry me.)

My friend shook his hand in Hawaii.

I think she might fight you viciously for marriage rights.

Hmm. That's cute, but no.

At first I was like "The dude that played King Leonidas? That guy was ugly as ass." and then I looked up other pictures and I realized that I would, in fact, do him so long as the beard and the haircut stayed far, far away. If I swung that way, of course.

[zeroguy]

It took me a little bit of searching to get the latter half of this (why is there not an ED page on that phrase?). I think not visiting the chans is somehow making me forget things I already knew. Which is a good sign.

Well played, though. I also like how you might've received some flak for this around here if more people understood what you did there; but you won't, since those who would get it aren't the types to do that.

[Gravity Defier]

I'm normally not a fan of beards at all, but I actually prefer him with one. I think it's just a matter of me seeing him for the first time with one vs without one.

Confession, I guess: I think it's admirable that a guy can admit to thinking another guy is attractive, even if it is in a roundabout or just slightly less than mature way.

[zeroguy]

Have I mentioned how attractive I found, um, this guy, erm, the other day? ;)

Confession: I know I sometimes read too many webcomics.... but this one in particular... it's getting ridiculous. I have wasted way too much time lately, and there's still quite a bit to go. This is the longest one I've ever attempted, I think. Probably over 3000 strips, going by update frequency and how long it's been active. ....gah.

Hahaha. Less than mature way, eh? Yeah.. that sounds like me! I apply "I'd do <gender specific pronoun>" to anyone I find particularly good looking. Not necessarily because I would literally do them, but because they're doable. If that makes sense. It probably doesn't.

Maybe a full, short beard, but I really hate how he looks with his Leonidas beard and hair. Or.. better yet.. he should just stick with that oh-so-trendy like 'three day growth' beard he seems to wear around so often.

I confess that this post doesn't have a confession.

[BonitoDeMadrid]

Confession: Since I got sick, I also became addicted to Fiddler on the Roof's "If I were a Rich Man" (not to the remixes by Gwen Stephani and whatnot...blah). It's so naive, and makes you think, what would you do if you were rich...plus I love the way he dances, flinging his arms here and there (how do you do that?)..

Confession:

I spent over ten hours yesterday, with only one ten minute break, playing Guitar Hero II.

I am not allowed to be alone with that game again. Seriously. It's bad for all of my ambition for the summer.

[starlooker]

*double post*

This bullshit is over. I have finished my last final in a class whose application to my future work is minimal (History of Psych). I swore I didn't care if I got a C or even an F on the final as long as I passed the class and was allowed to move on.

But doing well on tests and being the best at them is totally ingrained into my psyche.

So, I have to say, the fact that I got far and away the highest score on the History of Psychology final -- after pulling just one all-nighter to study for it -- makes me feel somewhat better about my graduate school experience as a whole.

[Gravity Defier]

Have I mentioned how attractive I found, um, this guy, erm, the other day?

zero, you dork.

I really could have used the pointing and laughing smiley we had on Pweb 2.0 for this; I got a pretty good laugh out of it.

Confession: Wil, you are sort of the last person I expected to have any sort of conversation with in regards to Gerard Butler and his various looks. It does, however, amuse me greatly.

Yes to him having facial hair, yes to it being shorter vs the 300 look, yes to him looking 'doable.'



This entire post makes me feel really weird.

[Wil]

Confession: I got a really good laugh out your post after getting a really crappy phone call. Thanks!

Pfft, admit it, you ENJOY "feel[ing] really weird"!

[Jayelle]

Confession: The silliest stuff makes me cry. I read this cute book today in preperation for storytime and I almost cried right there at my desk.
It's called "A Mother for Choco" and it's the stereotypical "Are you my mother?" kind of story, except that after all these animals telling the bird that they aren't her mother because she doesn't look like them, she finds a momma bear who adopts her not because she's the same as her, but because she's a momma and can take care of her. I just loved the twist ending. It made me very happy- and weepy.

Confession: My mother does that dance perfectly. I'm only slightly embarrassed when she does it in public.

[Gravity Defier]

Confession: I keep confusing Chris' and Michael's usernames with each other. When I see W_S, I think it's Michael and when I see Syphon, I think it's Chris. That's laughable at best, insulting at worst, and it really bugs the crap out of me.

This is why people aren't allowed to change their names after a crash, or ever.

[Jayelle]

It's interesting that both of them changed to something elemental - wind, sun... I wonder if that means something about the two of them.

And I totally agree. Name changes are confusing.

[starlooker]

Confession:

I'm starting to get bitter and resentful that Piled Higher and Deeper doesn't have a scrollover like xkcd. As if witty additional side comments are something the author owes to me. I no longer feel stupid for trying to scroll over the comic; I feel pissed off and righteously indignant that nothing happens when I do it.

[Gravity Defier]

Confession: I've been through the 15 pages of Milagre at least twice this week.

It reminded me that I'm supposed to hate people born in '87; I've been slacking in that department.

[BonitoDeMadrid]

Confession: I find that I am currently lacking things to read on the internet which I haven't read before, a fact that saddens me. Update faster, PWeb!

(I tried Questionable Content, but I can't read it from the start now..too much time)
