Not really sure why it was on here, with no explanation of who this woman is or dissection of her statements or anything... it feels like something anyone could write.
My sister made me watch Twilight for her birthday yesterday. So all I got from this was "Esmee? REALLY?"
I'm not sure what the point of this post was, tbh. Lovely and poetic, but I was kind of expecting some kind of "here's things people expect you to do with friends/family/partners but that doesn't have to be the case" type post, which seemed more Jez's usual style. That said, all best to the author and her writing career.
I'd say your first glass of wine is INFINITELY more important than your first sexual partner. My first glass of wine was a vintage Chateau Lafite and it's ruined me for anything else, but since I can't afford Chateau Lafite (I mean - who can?!) every time I see or drink a glass of red I die a little bit inside.
I mean, losing my virginity was shit and I think that's a good thing, because I knew full well that the only place to go from there was up!
Stop trying to make fetch happen! It's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!
Apparently he wasn't at the Golden Globes because he was looking after the baby. So don't write off your faith in love just yet!
I hated him before I saw his chat show. I am now fully repentant - he's amazing. Felt so sorry for him when Madonna was on, though - she seemed like SUCH hard work!
I'm less bothered by the wig than by Gwyneth Paltrow's atrocious pronunciation! But I agree it is a monstrosity...
I was privately educated and got into Cambridge, and am very proud of the fact that I did. I worked bloody hard to do so. I'm not saying there aren't people who have a tougher time of it, nor that the excellent teachers I had at school didn't inspire me to aim high academically - of course it's a help. But I think it's incredibly judgmental to assume that someone from a wealthy background can't get into Oxbridge/Ivy League universities on their own merit.
Naturally, that's evidence of a nerve being hit :)
Well I suppose as a private-school-educated Cambridge student I don't really have a right to mouth off. Certainly a private education helps to get good exam results, and no-one gets into Oxbridge without them, but I don't like the implication that someone from a privileged background can't get into an elite university off their own merit. You don't get five A's or whatever at A-Level by paying someone to do your homework for you.
Good luck with your Cambridge application - it's a fantastic university with a great range of people. Feel free to message if you want any interview stories or anything!
What's wrong with Oxbridge? I don't see you harping on at Obama for going to Harvard.
Glad someone on here apart from me has a shred of faith in humanity left!
It's a nod to Finnick, in my mind. Damn, I want to see who they cast as Finnick... and his net outfit... Om nom nom.
Mmmm, you've made me think of Finnick Odair and I might need a quiet minute or two by myself.
I'm a virgin, my 21st birthday is coming up. Sometimes I felt like that too but really, what's a couple of years?! I'm dating a lovely guy right now who couldn't care less, and we're both enjoying my (very gradual) sexual awakening.
I never thought it would happen to me, so don't worry, someone lovely and some cracking orgasms are out there right now waiting for you! haha.
Oh god, some of my friends do that - "I'll always tell people what I think. I'll always be totally honest. I'm keeping things real" - all are excuses to be horrible to people unnecessarily, imho.
I do think its a shame that a lot of the historic English houses are being bought up by foreigners who then don't live in them, properly maintain them or make them available for the public (as most of the hereditary owners do, for financial reasons).
I think just rocking up with a chequebook and assuming you can buy a house that isn't even up for sale is more than audacious, it's downright entitled and rude, tbh.
I didn't say none of the girls were married, now did I?!
Yes, it is a tad unrealistic in that respect. The Matthew/Mary storyline is dragged on for an unreasonable length of time.
Capital. I'll send the house elf round.
It will. I cried, not going to lie. It was hands-down the best episode so far, I think.
