'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sorry, Gud, we did kind of geek out on you there didn't we.
Don't be sorry, I didn't mean to sound like it was a problem. I had fun meeting you guys. Nothing wrong with a little theater talk, it's just I don't have much to contribute unless I start making things up.
It's all about the funding. UAB gets so much that when they accept a grad student in this program, the tuition is covered and the student gets a $20+K stipend. It's a sweet deal. And the only way my brother could do it.
OK, I'm watching what seems to be a SuperNanny reunion special. Why? I don't know. But I'm unnerved. I guess I had good parents (who were educators) and all my babysitting and nannying experience informs me, but so freaking much seems like Duh! Of course, I'm not a parent. But jeez, the behavior that is tolerated! And the fact that some of these parents seem so adrift and passive. Oy. It seems common sense to me. t /judgy
And the gay people put up with this?
Okay. So this is a weird thing that used to happen to me all the time in college. A huge pool of my friends were gay men. A lot of them expressed desire to have sex with me, or make out with me.
"Allyson, you're just so pretty. I would sleep with you, if you wanted me to. Do you want to?"
What the fuck was that all about? I sort of made up my mind that because it was early in the college years, and they were just coming out of the closet, the dudes I knew were just unsure of how to express affection without it being sexual in nature. But i could be wrong, often am.
I don't have much to contribute unless I start making things up.
That would work.
I'm watching something on PBS about the movie The Misfits.
Huh. I just watched a commercial for Maxwell House coffee. A company of firefighters filking "Our House." I'm amused and a little weirded out. Something about music that takes me to freshman year in college makes me go, "Huh," when I hear it in a commercial. Like, a couple of years ago, "Forever Young," by Alphaville was used for a car commercial. (I wish I still had a copy of that album)

Oh great. Triple shooting in West B'more. Where am I touring real estate on Sat? West B'more.
I like my city, I really do. It is just such a patchwork. Million dollar properties a block away from crack hell.
it's just I don't have much to contribute unless I start making things up.I do that every so often when matt and his friends are talking about guitars
What the fuck was that all about?
I kind of think a lot of people who generally want to get with men sometimes want to get with certain women. For the softness. I dunno.
Oh thank god, I thought it was unresolved mommy issues.
I guess in general I think a lot of people aren't 100% one way or the other. (OMG NO!!!) Although it was still kind of shocking to see my gay male friend sucking face with a woman.
