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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think most people have imposter syndrome about at least one part of their lives, don't they? I mean, everyone I know does. I thought the invite gave enough outs that non-performers did not have to. I'd go and DEFINITELY share photos, Tom. Either bring a slide show on an iPad or something or hand out links to your tumbr.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Steph, I would love a party at which someone without context and unkinkily tied rope corsets. Fuck explanation, that's just so cool.

Me too!

I still want to get a corset to help make my belly smaller, but I'm embarrassed to even go looking for one.

They're really easy to do. If I ever make it to another F2F, I will gladly bring rope and tie corsets for people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The bit of the gawker sites I'm still reading works fine (IO9's Observation Deck). What's broken, LeN?

I *almost* like this wallpaper, but the inconsistencies bug. However, the choice of items that includes bottom right corner is almost making up for it.

Hey, Steph, can I invite you to my sister's birthday party and you do that? It's a small gathering, so no pressure. A weekend, in Jamaica, September, about 8 complete strangers, and me. Uh, there will be a white person, if that helps. I don't know if he'll want a corset, though.

All white people want corsets.

Wait. I don't think I was supposed to let that secret slip.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also -- cross-fit is HARD CORE. Jesus.

Emmett is definitely more muscley than Jesus.

Emmett does not suffer from imposter syndrome. I have foolishly filled him to the brim with self confidence which is occasionally not warranted (he was very surprised to find out from his coach that he's not a particularly good singer).

For those who saw Legend of Korra, that scene where Bolin is talking about why Korra should date him? That's very Emmett.

"She's fun. I'm fun! She's funny. I'm hilarious. She's good looking. I'm GORGEOUS."

Emmett is Bolin pretty much.

Other people who don't suffer imposter syndrome: Phil, Gary.
