Confessions of a 20-something mother

*cheers zeroguy*

*starts singing all of the Little Mermaid songs*

*gets tomatoes thrown at*



That used to be my signature, until Orihime took over XD

Confession: I don't really know what they were talking about back there... Care to enlighten me? Anybody?

[Jayelle]

The Little Mermaid part or the linking part?

The linking part is about if you wanted to link back to a specific post in a thread (instead of the beginning of the thread). If you click on the little folder beside where it says "Posted: Wed. Dec. 30, 2009" and copy and paste the link in your browser's address bar, it will be a link to that exact post.

[Jeesh_girl15]

I was wondering about the whole number of posts and stuff, but thanks anyway, cause that did help a bit, JL.

[zeroguy]

"folder"?! It is clearly a little dog-eared page, madame!

I use a ridiculous amount of smilies in Facebook chat.

I want to do a research project to see if the number of smilies increases as my feelings of how well I know the person decrease.

I love the Food Network.

[Petra456]

I also love the Food Network!

Watching Iron Chef last night with the secret ingredient being the white house garden has kicked my craving for fresh vegetables into overdrive!

I've wanted a mixer for ages

When I first read that I thought it said "I've mixed water for ages."

confession: I really want to see the Karate Kid remake with Jackie Chan, it looks fun.

[starlooker]

When I'm looking for information on a topic on google, and the suggested search indicates that other people are searching for it, too, I feel better, sometimes.

Conversely, when I'm searching for information and nothing pops up, I feel kind of alone.

confession: I really want to see the Karate Kid remake with Jackie Chan, it looks fun.

Confession: I just got around to seeing that movie (the original), cause my friend is obsessed with the Outsiders, and Ralph Macchio, who played Johnny, also plays the kid in the Karate Kid.

[jotabe]

wait, Jackie Chan made a remake of Karate Kid? when? what? where? how? who?

[Jeesh_girl15]

Well, I haven't heard much about it, but I know it's coming out... If it isn't out already... I'm with jotabe. Pretty clueless 'bout this.

[daPyr0x]

Jackie Chan trains Will Smith's son in the Karate Kid remake.

That's just crazy.

[Confessions]

I should care about the situation in Haiti, but I don't, no more than I cared about Katrina.

Confession: I just watched The Aviator for the first time and it made me the most uncomfortable I've ever been while watching a movie. Don't get me wrong: it was a beautifully done movie, from the acting to the cinematography to the writing. Alan Alda, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bilbo Baggins, all of the stops were pulled out here. But his tics and compulsions and obsessions made me absolutely freak out. I almost had an anxiety attack, and it was made all the worse that I was on a couch with two other people with three other people sitting in between me and any form of escape and I felt like I couldn't move, so I curled up into a ball on the couch and watched trying not to cry.

I saw too much of me in that movie. Too much. Sadly, not in the genius or the daring or even in the womanizing, but just in the craziness, in the way DiCaprio acted. I don't even know. Especially with the comments everyone was making, like "wow, he is crazy" during the things that I constantly have to tell myself are perfectly normal when I do them. And then, the worst part, the people claiming that they are OCD by saying they have to hang up their clothes hangers the right way and such.

Anyway, I tried to talk to my roommate about it afterwards, about how massively uncomfortable it made me, but her boyfriend was over, and by now she's completely forgotten about it or doesn't notice how freaked out I'm acting and I'm too much of a wimp to try to bring it up now, so you get my frustration, P-Web.

Man, a lot of wangst from me in the past few weeks.

[Jayelle]

*hugs Mich* That really sucks, man. I wish I could say something helpful here, but basically, I just didn't want to leave your post unresponded to. I hope you get some support/help in your life so you don't feel like that.
It sucks that "OCD" has gone the same way as saying you're depressed. People use it to say that they're feeling a little down, instead of an actual, clinical thing, just like people say OCD about quirks.

Confessions from me:

-I miss having TV so I can watch the Olympics in a few weeks, but Paul doesn't care about them (and my internet isn't fast enough to stream them online)
-I don't care about my job as much since I'm moving to a new branch in three weeks, I spend way to much time on pweb while at work

[Mich]

Thanks, JL. Sleeping for eleven hours helped a lot.

[zeroguy]

Confession: earlier this evening in my pweb browsing, I felt a great desire to deliberately use the term OCD to refer to anything OCD-ish that was not an actual disorder (nor indicative of one). Mich's post completely eliminated the desire.

[megxers]

Confession: If I needed further proof I don't belong in the Religion/moral forum, I went and accidentally voted opposite to my views on a poll. Dear Darwin, I need to get off the internet at 2 am.

[LilBee91]

Sometimes I worry that I am like Qing-jao. How long do you wait in silence before you decide there is no noise to be heard?

[Wil]

Whenever someone uses the "wikipedia isn't trustworthy" line, or one of it's many other forums, I immediately consider the argument won and the other party to be a complete idiot.

[Mich]

Confession: I was still disappointed when Penny Arcade turned me down for their new opening, despite knowing about the thousands of applicants.

[BonitoDeMadrid]

Confession: I'm going mad. And not mad with power, the best kind of mad there is (thank you Simpsons movie), but mad with pseudo-depression, appearing and disappearing inside me. And it blows.

Also: I can't wait for June, for the new Futurama episodes (hopefully).

that sounds like me.

Confession: I'm considering popping a bag of popcorn and dropping out of the religion forum participation. Sometimes I think religious debate is more fun as a spectator sport.

Confession: I never actually will. Curse it.

[neo-dragon]

EL, your confession inspired me to take a peek at what's going on in the evolution vs. creation thread... and then back away slowly. I don't think I want to get dragged into that right now. That particular issue can drive me nuts both as a Christian and as a science teacher when it's debated pig-headedly.

[powerfulcheese04]

I'm right there with you, Jason... except as a medical professional/researcher and bioengineer instead of science teacher. But, I would imagine those two groups subscribe to many of the same scientific principles. (Like, for example, the scientific method.)



Confession of my own: That debate almost makes me want to dig out my biochem notes so I can find the stat on the likelihood of nucleotides lining up juuuust right and producing an organism... but then I remember that it isn't worth it and I have better things to do with my time that delicately craft an argument that balances my belief in creation/God AND evolution/science. Like, learning anesthesia.

[Eddie Pinz]

That thread is a train wreck. I can't help not watching. I kind of wish I never poked my head in there. Its been a while since a discussion has made me want to bash my head against a wall. Probably since your little discussion about speaking for the dead Kim.

Lol what stops you from eating popcorn while taking part of the "debates" XD
It's lots of fun.

Geeze, this. This is my senior project (or was, at one point). Half of my cubicle has notes on this tacked up on the wall. But internet debates are one thing I do not get involved in. Ever. I learned my lesson way back on FrescoPics, trying to debate against Alai (Craig). It didn't work!

[megxers]

Confession: Thanks a lot facebook. Someone's status was about how they were in a class sitting next to a famous (and nice) astrophysicist, even if he helped get rid of Pluto, and the class was taught by the professor who originated the cretaceous impact extinction theory. My first reaction was OMG I NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. My second was that I wanted to debate Thomas Kuhn-style her assertions. A. Thanks for helping me confirm what I wanted to study, B. no thanks for making me not want to be here much, much more.

[Confessions]

What the f*** is wrong with me, PWEB???

Confession:
This makes me so extremely happy that my friend talked me into applying here. I'm giddy. =]
