“The (500) Days of Summer attitude of “He wants you so bad” seems attractive to...”

#if 500 days of summer was told from summer’s POV it’d be a psychological thriller

That’s falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person.

Mostly French music party!
I just traveled way back in time to 2007 and yanked a Frankenmix prompt from the archives. This one is to create the Ideal Romantic Comedy Soundtrack.
I didn’t go all out with plotting, but it’s pretty clearly about a young French girl and an American dude, probably in New York, who enjoy music that is twee as fuck. (I LOVE ALL OF THIS MUSIC. WELL, MAYBE NOT THE FRANCE GALL SONG. BUT...

OH MY GOD.
WEEPING OPENLY
Elementary already wins everything for this.
OH MY GOD, AMAZING.
Before I clicked the link, though, I have to admit I was crossing my fingers and chanting, “PLEASE BE MARY, OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE BE MARY.”

My M.O.
Spend four months four weeks two weeks waffling about taking a Leave of Absence.
Decide to do it.
Tell parents next day.
Apply to a job in a different country the day after that.
Once I have made up my mind I am very decisive.

A thought while watching "Reunion."
Okay wait. Let’s say I’m willing to accept that all of these wildly disparate alien species — Vulcans, Humans, Klingons, etc., etc., Star Trek got way too into the alien crossbreeding thing — are close enough genetically to mate.
How did Worf and his half Klingon-half Human girlfriend have a baby.
If a donkey and a horse are not close enough genetically to produce fertile...

List of ethnic slurs

Cheese-eating surrender monkey(UK, USA) a Frenchman, from the defeat of the French against the German in 1940, and the huge variety of cheeses originating from France.

When my French students asked me what Americans thought of the the French that is all I could ever think of in my head.
(Out loud, of course, I said things like, “They usually think of Paris and its...

fursasaida replied to your post: Oh, life. Why you gotta be this way.
Seriously though. 2012 is the fucking apocalypse. I’m in a similar place right now, and I just, boooo. Hugs all round.
Thanks. 2012 IS THE WORST, and I am sorry it is sucking for you, too. I think moving home early will be what’s best for me, though — here, my entire life is (a) eating and sleeping, (b) grief, (c)...

Oh, life. Why you gotta be this way.
Told my parents I’m going to take a leave of absence (barring any unlikely eventualities), which I guess makes it official.
I’m disappointed-relieved-tired-nervous-excited-depressed. But since I’ve been disappointed-tired-nervous-depressed for a month (well, four months) (well, eight months) now, that’s really an overall improvement.
I just have to commit very firmly to...

22drunkb:
If you are me, and you’ve never seen Twilight but you LOVE 50/50, then you are really, really rooting for it to be Anna Kendrick.
At the very least, I expect we’ll see Atwell as Peggy in a cameo, either in a flashback or in old lady makeup for some sort of Whedon-esque heart-fail moment. But this list of ladies, Kendrick, Poots and Jones, makes me think Sharon Carter might not be the...

– The opening of The Dream of the Rood is one of my favorite pieces of poetry ever, and I’m only sorry I’m too rusty to translate it properly. But even if I could, in Modern English it loses my favorite aspect, which is the fantastic use of alliteration and assonance in Old English poetry:...

Ugh. I know this isn’t about a white girl, but ugh. When I was reading the Hunger Games I totally pictured Finnick Odair as being like, normal looking and was hoping for Lee Thompson Young to be cast because obviously. But they cast some exotic looking white boy. I mean not to be racist, but that’s not cool. I mean, I was SO SAD in the third book you know when...
