Turkish prosecutor re William Burroughs' The Soft Machine:

"The book lacks narrative unity, while it is written in an arbitrary fashion that is devoid of cohesion in meaning," a Turkish government board said in a March ruling. "The way the book deals with the coarse, sleazy, vulgar and weak aspects of humans..."


Yeah, and your point is?

I don't know what I enjoyed more; drumming to Adele's "Set fire to the rain", or playing some Dresden Dolls songs for the first time in forever again.

well, at least it's somewhat plausible that someone on that board actually read it.

watching hubs play fable 3, finished starting my own garden, eating cookies, and i have a job interview tomorrow, today was AWESOME!!

well except for the part where my puppy has decided he can go where ever he wants and not listen to me >:(
Ya mean he can go where he pleases, or he can GO where he pleases?   :pottytrain4:

no luckily he's gotten over GOing wherever he wants, he just thinks he can run out to the big garden and around to the other side of the house without me or the hubs, this would be ok if we had a fence or he wasnt only 5ish pounds and could easily get grabbed and eaten by a hawk or an eagle but we DONT...the worse part was that he did it twice in one day, he behaved today though cause he knew he was in BIG trouble...

also for the boobs, its totally lies that they stop growing when you're youngish, i'll be 22 in about 3 months and mine are STILL growing, i can tell because they HURT, luckily they've stopped hurting lately but i know that they''re bigger cause my newest bras (which i just bought not to long ago and fit perfect when i bought them) dont fit!!! and even more annoying is that they'll get even bigger when (or if depending on the person) you have babies
Are you sure you're not pregnant? Gigantic and sore boobs are usually the first sign.

actually i did at first think that! especially because we did have a condom slip, but no  :'( no babies for me yet


i spent most of my day playing in the dirt and throwing rocks  ;D

Sooooo......

Girlfriend gets a hairstyle ya don't like...  You get to keep your thoughts to yourself   >:(
and never tell ANYONE it doesn't really work for you.  If you say anything unflattering,
you're something of a pig. I accept this.


Boyfriend shaves off his beard, and you hate it...  The Whole World knows you hate it.   >:(
Heck, in some circles it's grounds for a no-blame breakup. I accept this too.

...and yet, this seems somehow....  unfair. :dontknow:

totally unfair! we made a deal if either of us does something the other doesnt like or thinks is horrible we're allowed to tell each other and cant be mad because personally i'd rather like to know if i look like crap then pretend it looks awesome...maybe you can figure out a nice way to say that it's not the best in the world??

My friends (who are all boys and I am sleeping with one of them) have all told me that they didn't like my hairstyle before this one. I was fine with it, they are allowed to have their opinion. However, I'm the one with the hair so I can do whatever the fuck I like. This also applies to people I'm dating or whatever. They can do whatever with their body hair, but I am allowed to tell them I don't like it :P

Seamy shaved off his beard and I don't like it. I've told the Box, him, and two people who he doesn't know IRL. I wouldn't call that "The Whole World". I told him very gently and sensitively and haven't mentioned it since, instead turning every thought I have of "euffff I can't wait for it to grow back" into an out-loud reminder both to him and to myself that he is my gorgeous boy and I fancy the pants off him. It seems to be working - I'm aaaalmost coming to stop hating it so completely. On the other hand, Seamus is allowed to tell me whatever he thinks of how I look. The few times he's not liked what I've been wearing or something he turns it either into a joke or says that he really likes it when my hair's curly instead of fluffy or something - much nicer to hear than "lol you look like a spaniel that's gone through a tumble dryer" xD

I don't think girls should have free-reign to criticise their men any more than guys should be able to insult the women. It's about respect and looking after each other's feelings - if you must tell them you don't like it, do it gently. And I wouldn't ever bang on about things I don't like about Seamus to his friends or to people who are going to spend a lot (or any) time with him. I feel OK mentioning it on the Box because he isn't allowed to come on here, but even then I don't think I say anything too horrible. (I know I said that after he shaved he looked "fat and prepubescent", but I reeeaaaally needed to get that off my chest or I was going to say it to him which would have been horrible...)

Wait, who made this? You or Roisin?

I didn't. Roisin put it on her signature and I automatically associated it with the LOL Rage Character. Then I posted them both cause I thought not everyone would know it (the comics). I do think it was based in this scene. They are too  similar to be a coincidence.
