*waves hand* I've had hypomanias like that because I'm bipolar 2. Before I was properly medicated, I'd have nights when I'd sleep like, six hours and pop out of bed like that bitch in the picture and go all day feeling super awake and full of hope for my beautiful wonderful life. It's NOT NORMAL and I learned it was a portent for an awful awful crash of exhastion and suicidal depression.
@ms.windupbird: There were also those blackouts and record high temperatures during Son of Sam. Humans get tetchy when civilization breaks down...
@Caitfish: Careful, the hobbits have colonized the sock shire in aisle twelve.
sorta like, when I fill the coffee stir stick jar at work, people think a magic gnome makes them, and they all take three. If it's half full, they only take one if they really need it. Abundance makes people think things are cheap and easy.
Mess does make people think things are cheaper. As I quote Tony in Who's the Boss, "People see a mess, they think they're getting a bargain."
Plus, there's the angle that an empty store makes shoppers really FEEL the financiazombiepocalypse. And not in a spendy way.
In the end, this just means more work for less employees at the same shit pay.

I'm afraid communication lines have broken down across a cultural gulf. Please see your local Netflix cruise director re: drag movies of the 90s.
@pmarble: My friend's 9 yo thinks it's boring, except the songs. She thinks the teachers are as pointless as real teachers.

In other news, Chris Colfer is adorable. Why doesn't he have a boyfriend?

*eyeroll* Who wasn't teased as a kid? Show me a childhood without pain. I'm sick of our society's half assed button pushing diagnoses. People and problems are complicated and layered, they can't be explaind with a cookie cutter trauma.
*sigh* You loose all your princess points, Jez. A transvestite is a straight man who gets his rocks off from fetishizing women's clothing. A transsexual is a person born in the wrong gendered body. A drag queen is a gay man who is too fabulous for one gender.
This is weird. Castro is Disneyland now, it's like Broadway in NYC. There's like three sex shops and yeah, there's bars, but no advertising visible from teh street. It's cleaner than South Street in Philly.
Also, these kids are privledged San Fran babies -- at least half of them are have same sex parents, I have no doubt. Some of them were probably a stone's throw from home. I live here, young straight people really are accepting and nonhateful, and not in the lip service way they are they in the rest of the world.
I suspect something else was going on to piss people off about this trip, and the reporters are making assumptions based on how parents would respond anywhere that wasn't San Fran.

When I taught elementary school, I always wore pants. You have to get down on the floor a lot, because they're so tiny. There's a lot of kneeling next to desks. Skirts really don't work.
Also, you'll be LEANING over. A child. Watching your neckline doesn't gape, and if it does, wear a cami.

People will remember this for the rest of her life. She will never not be "that singer who took a bath in poo."
Maybe cuz women are more likely to have anxiety and that shit makes us feel better? Ionno, just throwin out idea.
@TeenageGangDeb: Srsly, the first month I worked at a library, I didn't even SEE a copy of Twilight except on the hold shelves. They never touched the stacks. Whatever. They're horrible, but then I got a chance to see the shit I used to read, and was properly put in my place. At least they're reading. They'll develop taste later.
@la.donna.pietra: Unrealistic portrayals of Cali set up my lifelong obsession with moving to the state. Flash forward 20 years, I recently packed up my car and drive acros the country to San Francisco. Eh. It's better than suburban PA, but the Pacific ocean is fucking COLD.
@amycee: *eyebrow* No, but if I did know about these storylines, I would have read more of the books. The ones I picked up -- off my cousins' dressers -- were all about who was dating whom.
Hands up if you read All Night Long but not the rest of the series, because of adolescent fascination with rape.
Tell you waht, going from Scholastic and Apple chapter books to SVH, they did not feel like "skimpy" paperbacks. They were LONG books! I didn't really like the High series, tho -- I didn't relate to the bickering and, well, trashiness. I like the Twins series-- looking back, I think they were more modern (80s), more wholesome and possibly more plot-driven, even if the plots were awful. I'm not saying this as if they were high literature, just less negative.

This is what The Sims and its many many hacks are for... Or like, an imagination.
Well, I just don't expect too much with a bunch of rich parents in Ohio. (Also, dont' assume the no bullying policy was written for gay kids specifically; kids get bullied for all sorts of reasons.) Lip service to tolerance, sure. Anti racism, of course, everyone knows racism is bad, it was in all the movies. But two boys dancingat the prom, with their girls in attendance, at a very expensive event? That's another thing. People's open mindedness ends where their selfish fairytale fantasies begin.
But he still wants us to drink his blood, yeah? :D
interesting about hte fish weed. Seaweed? Maybe sushi originated in Judea. Maybe it's Gillyweed....
