    TMW the hallway of your block is littered with parcels, and they are all for you.

    EDIT: Followed by TMW you start cutting the first one open and discover that it is not, in fact, for you. But I double-checked them all!

    TMW you're all excited because you've got a dress form on order so you can finally complete all those sewing projects you've been putting off . . . till it hits you the thing has no legs and will be totally useless for hemming slacks.

    that moment when you just finished school yesterday and you're relishing your long awaited freedom, and your boss signs you up for a 3 week class for career development....

    TMW you discover that if you press the wrong option number on a voicemail system and have to be manually transferred to the proper department you may well jump the line of callers waiting for an associate.

    That very special moment when your religious family is posting things on Facebook about how God will protect you, using examples like a subway in a tunnel, and it's so obviously a shit example that does nothing but make them look ignorant, but it's also family you depend on and if you explain it you're boned.

    that moment when you read a very good book and you can visualize what it would look like in real life.... then it was announced that it would be coming to Netflix as a new series. The actors they chose and the visuals looked amazing. You wait a year for it to be released..... and are disappointed by THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF IT!!

    It's supposed to take place in 1890.... what is this modern, artsy garbage????? The posh Mia Farrow haircut, bare shoulders and arms??? The book had one character as an indentured servant who wore dark colors like all of the other old women of her status, but in the movie, she is stylish, with a printed blouse!

    -sighs-
    Netflix, i gave you too much credit....:cry:

    -rages as I still watch the episode hoping it will grow on me-

    (Must add to rage: the MC in the book wasnt boy crazy or even gave marriage a thought! she wasa 16-17 year old scholar who loved books more than boys, and learned calligraphy vs wife stuff! the first 5 minutes, she talking about marriage a wealthy bachelor and hasnt even picked up a book! WTF???----- end rant.... i think)

    EDIT: I have given up. after 15 minutes.... i just cant watch anymore. CURSE YOU, NETFLIX!!!!

    I remember when my mom was active on FB... I posted something about religion that she didnt like, and commented on my status with "Take this down."
    of course, i did not.
    So we had a "discussion" about it in person :nosleep:

    I wish that was possible in my family.

    It's not even the religious nature that bugs me though, it's the poor example. They keep using the subway going into a dark tunnel and coming out as a comparison to God making sure you get through your bad situation... except subway tunnels have well defined and mapped and maintained paths. Everyone can and many do know exactly what happens when you go through the tunnel, the end result, and how to avoid it if you don't wanna be in the tunnel in the first place, unlike whatever God's doing. It's so stupid and a poor example. Of all things you go for one of the worst one to compare that's not even valid!

    Maybe you could counter with another example? I dont think it would be disrespectful if, instead of pointing out the fault in the analogy, to offer another analogy? "this candy is bad...here's an apple instead" type of thing

    I want to, but I'll get yelled at, and I also really don't want to lend validity to a religious argument

    But this is way off topic so we should stop before we anger a mod

    That moment when you see someone you used to have feelings for for the first time in forever, and instead of that familiar little kick in the stomach combined with that soft bit of glow in the chest that reminds you of your history, there's nothing beyond the usual surprise of seeing an old friend, and you're left there with the small bit empty melancholy milling about in your chest that comes with the realization that everything dies.

    TMW you open a book to your bookmark and are disappointed to find that you're more than halfway through the book, which you're enjoying more than you expected.

    TMW a friend sends you a video showing a type of fetish you had no idea existed. Fucking creepy. The depths of human perversion are disgusting.

    You create a morbid curiosity with such
    intriguing post, yet there is a mental block
    as to actually wanting to learn the particulars. o_O

    That moment when you don't believe in ghosts but the dishwasher at work is definitely haunted.

    This how I feel about the floor I work on at the hotel.

    TMW you bring your own lunch into work and then forget to actually take it with you to lunch.

    TMW you started making a playlist with a song for each day a few days pre Christmas till recently and you`ve been listening to it over the last couple days. Making me realize I`ve been in a weird place lately. It`s an interesting little experiment actually.
