One of my friends linked this autocorrect on fb, and I've been keeping the tab open b/c it just cracks. me. up. [link]

I am like Steph and I cry when frustrated. It, in itself is very frustrating. What weird people out is that I don't sob, tears just start pouring down my face, and I can totally continue to have the discussion. I hate it because then people get all sympathetic, because they think I am sad or hurt, but really I am just mad!

I do the same thing.

I read that autocorrect this morning, and I too reacted by thinking, "What the actual fuck."

When i get upset, I literally lose the power of speech. The act of opening my mouth to explain why I am upset leads to hyperventilation, embarrassing sobs, and choking. It's not terribly productive. Especially when I'm pmsing and what I'm upset over is really really stupid.

There really has to be a way around the "cry when angry/frustrated" thing. Cause it completely undermines the "I am legitimately angry with you, I'm not being hysterical."

What do you say when he (NSFW) walks past you on the beach?

Hello, Dr Manhatten, probably.

There really has to be a way around the "cry when angry/frustrated" thing. Cause it completely undermines the "I am legitimately angry with you, I'm not being hysterical."

I tend towards, "Screw what society says, this is a legitimate response and just because water is leaking from my tear ducts does not mean I am not rational right now." Because the only way I've found *not* to cry is to bite my tongue, dig in my fingernails, and not talk. And if I don't talk? Well, how's that saying go? "Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes."

OMG it's the same guy.

Due to the DH's old job and friends in the business, I have met a LOT of famous people. Most exciting for me:

• Andy Kaufman ~ when I was a stripper. Still my top meeting because he was such a talent crush of mine
• Frank Gehry ~ he was just standing around at a show of his models and drawings. I don't think most folks knew he was there. My ex made us go over to talk to him but I was too shy to say anything but hello.
• Joss, at Jane's house a couple of times. I manage to say hello every time, but then I am too freaked to actually hang out and talk. Oddly, I think I have met every other Whedonverse writer and have had no prob gabbing away with any of them. Writers are my peeps.

I am not quite done dropping names because my most fave was meeting Boyd Gaines backstage at the revival of "She Loves Me." I had taken my mom and he was a friend of a friend. Not only did he meet us and give us a tour backstage after the show, when he said good bye, he leaned down and gave my mom a hug and kiss. Made her year, I tell you. That's a lot to do for strangers, especially when you have just played the lead in a musical and must be very tired.
