Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Damn, it's gotta be hard to be an Orthodox lesbian? Can you imagine how small THAT community is?
Heh. There's a movie (documentary) out there about Orthodox gays...(edit: I expect it's the same one Nilly is talking about!--Trembling Before G-d?)
finding someone you're (one is) compatible with is hard enough, without having to find that person in your own community
Sigh. Amen. Not that there aren't plenty of fabulous lesbians out there, but sometimes, man...
(more rare.)
Ugh. It hurts my head to think about having to deal with the fucking POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS of falling in love.
I'ma gonna have to bitch-slap the world again, aren't I?
I heard the thunder this morning and didn't belive it. Dude.
So, do I bundle up and try and see a matinee? Or do I get some take out and watch olympic coverage?
Jessica, I got a "Bad Link" message.
Snow has stopped in DC.
Trudy, I would probably have responded to the snow like the little kids. Also, completely without connection, you were in my thoughts a lot last week, what with all the family hardships. You're back home now, right?
meara, I guess we're talking about the same documentary.
How come it's "more rare"? Is it because "rarer" looks like somebody didn't know what letters to use and just put "r"s in all the places they could think of?
Hil! Congratulations on the internship!
Thanks!
I'm fairly certain that "rarer" is OK.
I can't think that "meeting the person" is up to statistics alone
I don't believe anything's up to statistics. A one in a million chance means it does happen.
"Rarer" is okay, but a pain in the ass to pronounce -- I suspect that's why people tend to use "more rare". Which is also awfully R-ish, now that I look at it, and yet still not as bad.
Thanks, Nilly. Yes, I'm finally home. My Mother is still with her sister and will be spending an extra day there due to the weather which is good -- now that the hub-bub has died down its really sinking in for them that their Mother is gone. I keep alternating between being sad about my Grandmother and then remembering that Mimi is gone too. (Oh, "Mimi" is short for Miriam. My Grandmother and her siblings were David, Paul, John, Ruth, Miriam and Esther).
The reason it is "more rare" as opposed to "rarer" is that English is random and weird.
