Oh, I missed the quotes discussion. But I will admit that I quote TPB a ton. Mostly my family gets it, or at least my sister does, which is the most important. "The eels do not eat Buttercup at this time." And "Have fun storming the castle!" And "If you don't have your health, you don't have anything." And "It's for posterity, so be honest." "I am not left-handed!"
I also get a fair amount of mileage out of "Work now, freak later," which is from Farscape.
I am freshly back from TJ's, armed with flours and wine and frozen tamales and so forth. And I discovered, while putting things away, an extra box of TimTams in my cabinet I must have bought well before Christmas. How wonderful!
So I was discussing this with people [link] and that old "there are women who have regrettable sex and say they were raped" came up, and I really can't understand it.
If I had regrettable sex, or sex with someone regrettable, and I was so ashamed why would I tell anyone about it anyway? Why would I charge someone with a crime when I could have kept my mouth shut and no one would have known, but now it's maybe in the paper and everyone's talking about it-I just don't even see how that myth makes any sense.
I use "Have fun storming the castle." all the time.
I also quote the Simpsons a lot, and Withnail and I.
I just don't even see how that myth makes any sense.
Yeah, because it's not like there's no stigma attached to being a rape victim any more. Grrr. This shit makes me inSANE.
Calli and smonster, I may need your help at some point with a ride to the vet, either tomorrow before 1:00, or super-early Monday a.m.
No problem, Amyth. Whatever you need.
I just don't even see how that myth makes any sense.
I know a guy this happened to, the girl was so ashamed of herself for going against all her church's and family's teachings against sex that she decided she must have been forced into it, because she wasn't the sort of girl to do such a thing. And she felt so guilty she couldn't just keep quiet.
edit: He got out of it because he's a little bit creepy and videotaped it, and she was recorded as giggling and suggesting stuff they could do.
Well yeah, Jesse, that too. But, even if there weren't...I mean say I go have sex with the mouth breather, and it's horrible or whatever, and I wake up the next day, and I am thinking, "Whoa, I should NOT have done that!"
Why would I then go tell people about it? People who would never have known?

That sound a bit different than the "lyin' bitches" theory though. Like, all kinds of misinformation and fucked upedness about sex.
Why would I then go tell people about it? People who would never have known?
Well, because then it's his fault, not yours, is the theory. Edit: And "everyone will find out anyway," I'm sure.
ION, I know I should be eating hot and sour soup and whatever, but all I have wanted through this cold is BUTTER. I have eaten many "mini" bagels (perfect size!) slathered in butter, and I just mashed a potato for a new butter-delivery option. I don't know. Feed a cold?
