    Does anyone else have huge crush on Tom Hardy? (I have since *ST Nemesis and YES, I am one geek who thinks it IS a good ST movie)

    *though I have since realized he was also in Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down

    He also made a lovely Heathcliff

    Finally, do you think the rumours are true that he pulled a "Billy Cruddup"?

    (I just watched "Bronson" and whoa - crazy moive but he was excellent - despite it is horrifically violent)

    I'm listening to This American Life right now. It's really interesting -- about college drinking and the people who live AROUND colleges and how that affects them.
    I live in a total college town, and I've seen some of these things myself.

    I feel so bad. Mr. WM planned a wonderful birthday party for me to take place tonight. He bought all kinds of food and booze - made me a cake (from scratch!). And now people are bailing. Like, half the people invited.

    It doesn't really bug me because while my birthday is not really cursed, it still kind of always has issues. It never really works out. I've gotten used to it - but he tried SO hard to pull this together for me. He is so upset.

    Luckily, we have about 4 cases of beer, 10 bottles of wine, four different kinds of vodka, and a whole red velvet cake to get over it all.

    So! I feel like groupthink has become a stand-in for a therapist for me. That's a tad alarming. But I also consider myself among friends here, so I don't feel too bad about airing my bitchery and troubles to y'all. Thank you to everyone who has listened and offered advice in the past, and hopefully this latest will be a topic that someone will be able to offer some kind of guidance on.

    Okay, so this has been rolling around the brain for some time now and it's not a subject I'd feel comfortable discussing with, say, my mom or my sister. So I'm gonna dump it on you guys instead, k? Um. So do any of you think it's possible that a hypothetical guy could be gay and not know it? Or be so deeply afraid to admit it to himself that he doesn't even acknowledge it? Especially if aforementioned hypothetical guy was raised by a very traditional (read: conservative) and veeerrry close-knit family? The answer may be one I very much would not want to hear, am in fact terrified of hearing, but I had to at least throw this out there because I honestly don't know. Either way, it's off my chest. But that doesn't do much to allay my fear. Please note that I am a naturally distrusting person and that fact often colors my thoughts and raises suspicions where they aren't really warranted, and also note that I am the type of person who always anticipates the worst in other people.

    This is awful. Help.

    @Aesop's Foibles. YES.: Eh, I used to date a guy who was super close to his mom and who gave all my friends gaydar pings. But he was also a horndog and really liked the ladies, almost too much. I think he was just a proto-metrosexual.

    @icyblonde: But what if there were, um, flags? Like for example, if hypothetical maybe-gay guy had only ever had one serious girlfriend? And if HM-GG had not joined in his male friends' debauchery in his bar-hopping days? I mean, these could just as easily indicate a seriously shy dude. But gaydar is a thing, and if there are just a few tiny little pings going on it's enough to raise some heavy doubt. Like doubting your own gaydar in addition to doubting the guy's true orientation. So it's like WTF should one in this situation do about it? Obviously it's not something you can just bluntly ask someone, because if it's that deeply buried it's not like he'd admit it anyway. I have absoluteley no idea if my gut is just being an asshole or if it's really onto something.

    @Aesop's Foibles. YES.: Honestly, it could go either way. One of my husband's best friends is very effeminate, and definitely gives off a gay vibe. He's not. He's married, has a kid, is totally comfortable with his sexuality. It's just the way he is.
    On the other hand, I have a cousin that I'm pretty sure is gay. His mom is mentally very ill, and his dad suffers from depression, and they're uber religious. He's married with 4 kids. I'm still pretty sure he's gay.
    And really, sexuality for many people is a fluid thing. Just because someone has a gay vibe, doesn't mean they don't also like the opposite sex.

    @Aesop's Foibles. YES.: I'm not sure those are "flags." Many gay men who try and deny to themselves they are gay will overcompensate, by having many girlfriends, being quite sleazy, or aggressive to prove their "masculinity.". There's actually a very good insight into this in a Daily Mail article today, about a rugby player who just came out.

    @spamanda: I am a heterosexual female with a healthy sex life (and a long-term male partner) who has a tendency to set of people's "lesbian" sensors.

    All because I don't wear makeup, don't like shopping and am pursuing a career that involves picks and shovels. Sometimes when someone is giving off a "gay vibe," it just means they're not bowing to gender roles.

    Come to think of it, my partner has set off a few people's "gaydar." (His fondness for rainbows doesn't help.) But he's a total hetero-horndog who LOVES women.

    "guy had only ever had one serious girlfriend? And if HM-GG had not joined in his male friends' debauchery in his bar-hopping days? "

    I had a wonderful relationship with a man who fit this criteria and he wasn't gay - still isn't gay

    also do I read correctly that this may be a person whom you are dating?

    why does it matter if, at the end of the day he is gay? more importantly, inasmuch as you may be correct regarding the "ask bluntly" but "may not receive truthful answer" you really need to be having this conversation with said person, not third parties

    I woke up this morning at, like, 5, preoccupied with a party for 70 we're hosting this Sunday and the thought that I should do a decade in review post for my blog. I hunted down photos from NYE 2000 (side note, how was that 10 years ago?) and am overwhelmed with the thought of what has happened in the past 10 years. 9/11, Iraq, Obama. Thom Yorke put out an awesome solo album. Heath Ledger died, MJ died...

    I will do some research, obviously, but what were the defining moments of this decade for you??

    @Her Grace: I wasn't making fun of people in your area, trust me, even in a place where it snows regularly, short of the far north, 25" in cause for panic. And I am so sorry to hear you're stuck without groceries, that's harsh.

    @DaniFae: Oh, no, I didn't think you were! I'm in the mountains and you'd think that people here would understand that it snows every year, but we definitely get the freaking out over a handful of flakes or any sort of winter mix. This is the first snow I've seen that really has warranted the freaking out, though. The snow plows are making six and seven passes to clear the road and still not doing it.

    There are a few little independent groceries downtown/down the street that all have owners who live within a block, so I'm hoping one might open.

    @Aesop's Foibles. YES.: He's 9 months and a beast, and seems convinced he's a real snow tiger.

    In reply to Stick A Fork In It
    I just came back from watching Avatar in IMAX 3D with my dad and my thought are this: It really reminds me of a 60's sci-fi novel like Anne McCaffrey meets Robert A. Heinlein. Which is not a bad thing since sci-fi films have been on a dark streak since Blade Runner ,The Matrix and the whole make it dark and edgy that Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. It's a pure adventure movie and succeeds at that beautifully. The effects and the 3d and be summed up with two words : AMAZING and detailed. At some points the natives looked real , like they are props or a prosthetic. The word that Cameron built is on the level of amazing that Jurassic Park was when it came out. I would love wallpapers of every wide shot of the forest in that movie. The displays on the computers and vehicles in the Imax 3d have depth and you can read every letter on them. One effect was to atrophy Sam Worthington's legs like he was a real paraplegic. The story was really standard and somewhat predictable which works for this. It's its biggest fault but it really doesn't take you out of it, unless your really anal about a thing like that. Yeah it's a bit long so is the movie .

    @Rose.Selavy.Needs.A.Drink: My mom's out of the country and he had a rough day at work, I thought he needed a break. It worked, since his jaw was open the entire time .
