Thank you for all of this. It feels better to know that someone went through the same thing at one point. I was never popular at school. I mean, I've always been withdrawn and sorta socially "weird" in my interactions, but at least a few people got it here at school. Lately, though, I've just been grumpy and sullen towards everyone, and their understandable responses to this (not saying hi, keeping me out of the loop re: parties, etc.) is just reinforcing all these negative feelings that have been festering inside me. I just need to get out more, I think, do more stuff, and just focus on stuff that makes me content. First year HAS been a roller-coaster of emotions, and the mountainous work does help one iota. I just pray that I'll get through the next few months with a better outlook and at least a small handful of true friends. #crosstalk
I'll get the ball rolling: "Human shaped collection of feathers and sunlight"
First year. And yea, it feels like college alright...sometimes even high school. Living in this bubble of where everyone is up in your business and forming their own "cool cliques" has been nearly insufferable at its worst moments. I mean, I try having fun, partying and whatnot, but it's gotten stale and now I'm just feeling sorely over the entire experience of being here. It feels like I've retreated back to adolescence, emotion-wise. All my neurotic insecurities are coming out in full force. #crosstalk
I feel like this is the worst it's been for me in a while. Law school feels like it's brought out both the very good and the very bad in my personality. With each step towards growth and self-actualization, there seems to be some situation/experience that sets me backward. Every tiny thing feels magnified, and lately it's just been not-good things.
Thanks for the words, though...I feel like sometimes venting to anonymous people on the internet can be helpful :) #crosstalk
The really curious thing is that I'm not even that stressed about my studies, it's more about being in a shitty town, surrounded by people who I feel like I can't really count on, and having little alternative but to bump back and forth between reading and drinking very heavily. For numerous reasons, I haven't been able to really cultivate a healthy routine or work-life balance, and so I just find myself indulging in misery and self-loathing. And taking out my frustration on everybody, even people I would normally consider my friends. Gah. #crosstalk
Anyone wanna be super-altruistic and provide some tips on how to get through a funk? I feel like everything has been going to shit lately--especially my attitude towards everyday life. (In law school, so that's probaly a contributing factor). #crosstalk
I hate Woody Allen's work - just like I hate Polanski's films. They're not that good. The fact that Polanski is a rapist and Allen is a creepy little man is just adjunct to their shitty, over-hyped work.
You may not like their films (for whatever reason), but to assert that their respective work is "not that good" is absurd.
After putting on one of these, maybe.
Some on-the-fly ones:

Not just judgmental, but also scarily project-y.
God, it's this kind of misguided moral indignation which gives this blog an unfair reputation.
Yeah, hate to be That Guy, but this movie was really not that funny. It dragged at certain parts, and some of the gross-out gags felt jarringly incongruous with the screenplay's generally restrained humor.
Kristin Wiig was delightful however. Can't say I was much impressed by Melissa McCarthy, but different strokes.
This made my night! #crosstalk
Well, in those waiters/waitresses' defense, a cheese-less bacon burger just sounds weird. It'd be like eating a pretzel between two slabs of bread, or a celery stick dipped in carrot-debris.
When people are young, they eat salads?
I don't understand why "salad tossing" has the meaning it does, either.
If that, really.
Yeah, eye-for-an-eye punishment...that always works.
Aim higher, Charlize.
I know. Sometimes I think this blog should be renamed Judgeybel.
She's got the look down pat, but can't act for beans, unfortunately.
Diane Kruger or Rosamund Pike would be my picks (even if the former isn't a great thespian, either).
