Happy birthday, Plei!
Mom was a good cook, and I picked up enough from her to pull together a decent meal or two. I think I was cooking a meal a week for the family from around age 11 or 12.
While I can clean, and eventually will, I really dislike it. It's never done. No matter how wonderfully, thoroughly, exactingly you clean a room, it will need to be dusted (at least) within a week or so. And I especially hate dusting. If you clean a room and leave for a month, leaving no pets or other active things in it, the room will still be dusty when you get back. Why, room, why? I've done nothing to you or in you. Why are you punishing me with dust?
So I let dust build up until incoming guests and the accompanying shame drive me to remove it. F---ing dust, man.
That guy from Community, right?
This was about 3 years ago so yeah, probably.
I know it's OTT, but I have a visceral disappointment wash over me every time I see even the slightest bit of the Lone Ranger promo material. Thank you, Onion: [link] And, Jesus, Depp. Seriously.
Vacation!
Edit: ...is the thing people know Chevy Chase from, I mean.
F---ing dust, man.
Seriously.
And with my allergies and history of asthma, I really should be dusting ALL THE THINGS on a regular basis. But...I don't. Because I hate dusting.
I grew up in Chevy Chase and when I was a kid, the customs guys at the Canadian border would always look sideways at our passports before being assured that yes, it's a real place, no it's not named after the actor.
My stay at home mom did all the cooking and laundry and I was totally clueless about that stuff when I left home. Also clueless about things like bills and writing checks. This is why my boys have been cooking and doing laundry forever and got checking accounts in high school. Their rooms however remain atrocious.
Wow, go high molecular weight hyalurona! Figuring out cancer. There aren't even the words to express how cool that will be.
I love the world. Tumblr just dumped me on a cached page about dating (the guy is kickstarting his methodology) which contains the following:
The concept of "waiting for signs" or "Indicators of Interest" was commonplace in older pickup theory. It is 100% garbage and needs to be erased from the face of the planet.
Never, ever, ever, wait for a SIGN before you escalate! You will miss out on the vast majority of chances if you sit around waiting for SIGNS. Men are notoriously bad at reading women's minds and body language. Don't think that you're any different. From now on you must ASSUME that she is attracted to you and wants to be ravished. It's a difference in mindset that makes champs champs and chumps chumps.
As stated back in the section on Flirting in Part 5, leading with your body is a very effective form of flirting. It is YOUR JOB, as the man, to lead the interaction. Be playful. Spin her around. Pick her up. Push her away as a tease and then pull her back in.
Decide that you're going to sit in a position where you can rub her leg and back. Physically pick her up and sit her on your lap. Don't ask for permission. Be dominant. Force her to rebuff your advances
What I love is that he goes on to say:
If at any point a girl wants you to stop, she will let you know. If she says "STOP," or "GET AWAY FROM ME," or shoves you away, you know she is not interested. It happens. Stop escalating immediately and say this line:
"No problem. I don't want you to do anything you aren't comfortable with."
Maybe you could get confused and think that he hadn't already sexually assaulted you, but never fear!
If a woman isn't comfortable, take a break and try again later.
Until you really really mean it, and then he'll stop.
Better late than never, right?
You probably shouldn't read the whole [link] I should have stopped at some triggerfull "kiss with your erection" bullshit.
Be clear--triggerFULL.
He got all the money he needed, plus stretch: [link]
