My sister does not have a mental filter. This makes for sometimes embarassing and frequently HILARIOUS stuff coming right out of her mouth, or keyboard as the case may be.
Like after her first prolonged encounter with the guy we've nicknamed Douchetastic, where he went on one of his patented ridiculously epic rants about hating Roy Williams (poor widdle disappointed KU fan, aw). After he finally walked off, she turned to the rest of us and asked brightly, "Can I set him on fire?"
Or when, several years ago, my brother had brought his current gf home to meet the family and within five minutes my sis had introduced her by name to her boobs.
Or the time at the dinner table when she told a story about her psychologist having an unfortunate waxing accident. I even interrupted her partway through that one and asked her to stop and think whether her shrink would want her to tell that story and whether it was dinner-table appropriate.
Goddess love her, I'm laughing my ass off even as I clutch my pearls.
Good God. Am I your sister?
Good God. Am I your sister?
I'd love to have you for a sis! And now I'm wondering if I could get her to an f2f.
You should!!
And personally, if my psychologist shared something like a waxing incident with me, I would totally tell everyone who was near-ish me for the rest of my life.
Protip: when home waxing, wear cotton underwear, else it might MELT TO YOUR SKIN.
Aims, even your parents? That's generally what makes me clutch my pearls, is that she talks about all kinds of crazy stuff in front of my parents. And my parents were not, are not, and never shall be "cool" parents. They have very delicate sensibilities, which I usually don't challenge. But maybe I should!
Aims, even your parents?
For sure my mother, who would probably tell my dad. But then, they are the "cool" parents. They're pretty young (dad is 56, mom will be 55) and we're a pretty share-y family. And, as far as I've been able to tell, they have no sensibilities whatsoever.
smonster, I had dinner with L. last night and she sends her love to you and your sister. We discussed for a bit the awesomeness of you both.
So.
OK outraged me this morning. This followed a massive fail by HUJI student council (guess who has no longer access to ANY working water cooler which contains a hot water tap and therefor can not fill her thermos-from-home-with-coffee-powder, but oh-so-unexpectedly, student council (who should regulate these facilities) made it's own coffee corner, where you have to pay to fill your cup?) And last, my informant called me and told me he won't be able to see and meet me tomorrow. He did pass my details to another guy, but said guy seemed less nicer than my cool, laid back informant.
All this before noon. No wonder I was pissed off the entire day.
people believing that abortion is the taking of a life
Well, I think (don't know about believe...) it's taking a life, and I'm pro-choice. As a thinking person, and more important - a thinking person who was raised on radical feminism, sometimes this taking of life can be justified. Say, if it'll bring misery to the world. And in either case, I'd rather let the mother and father to be to decide upon this very personal call, not to a bunch of holier-than-thou strangers who won't lift a finger to make a quality of life better, but their own.
And, as far as I've been able to tell, they have no sensibilities whatsoever.
In other words, I think Aims parents are my parents.
