That Moment...

WTH is "shamelust"?

"Food baby," I'm quite familiar with. Just ask my son who watched me stress-eat 4 tamales, one after the other. Oops.

 

If I understood it correctly when I came across it, it just means someone (or I guess something too) that you lust after that others would have a hard time understanding why.

~ "OMG, Bob is so hot. I'm all about him. Don't tell anyone."

~ "I won't sweetie. Bye the way, it's amazing how you get around without a cane, seeing as you're obviously totally blind, an'all. Inspirational."

 

TMW the new Spectre trailer is released.

 

TMW you look at the blank spot on the wall for the eleventy-seventh damned time where the clock was before you moved it three weeks ago .

 

Can't delete duplicate posts anymore?

 

TMW...

You learn from springhole.net that the word 'gypsy' is actually a racial slur for the Roma and Dom people.

Wow. Good to know, I always wondered where that word came from.

 

TMW you make the mistake of discussing the merits of a purchase with someone who has zero sense of frugality.

 

TMW...

you find yourself siding with Magneto in the X-Men movies.

Oi vey...

 

I LOVE IT.

I can't wait to apply my new vocabulary in every day life!

 

TMW your new boss and her husband start talking to you about all the mysticism they believe in and practice, and you try so hard to be open minded, but you were brought up in very conservative Christian household, and while very open to most things, you find yourself totally freaked out by the prospect of psychics and mediums providing business guidance to your salon owners.

 

TMW you realize what the hell TMW stands for. And are too eager to join in, so you write something like:

TMW your girlfriend has a tampon in her mouth and forgot where she put her cigarette.

TMW your previous post gets you kicked off the board.

 

Watch out, Satanism is next, and then they will ask you about swapping partners.

 

I'm aware of how strange this may be, but I'm so much more comfortable discussing the latter option (not that I'm into it).

And maybe slightly more comfortable with satanists, because I picture this guy:



He just seems like a party.

 

TMW you go away for a week with another cyclist and he puts a "de-ionising pen" in the opening to a bottle of water to "de-ionise" the water.
TMW you remember basic chemistry equilibrium equations and wonder how they remove the ions from water
TMW you ask how it works and receive a very curt and finalising "It just works, ok?"

 

Oh you are into the 'dad body!"

 

TMW while on a road trip with your BBF at 18 yo, you both enter a gas station bathroom. Then you humorously begin reading the "for a good time" scrawling's on the wall out loud, only to realize your BFF is gone and you're reading to a complete stranger. (That happened to me.)

 

TMW you know you're caught in a lie, yet lie again.

 

You do know that wasn't a woman on the other side of that hole in the bathroom right?

TMW you realized it wasn't a woman on the other side of that hole in the bathroom and now it's on a public forum.

 

So what creeps me out most about it is that little things just seem to fall into place at the salon. For instance, we have a new stylist starting, and we were really worried about how she'd adjust to the color line we use, which is relatively complex since it's organic.

A week later, our color rep called us to let us know that the company had broken their ties to the color line we were currently using, and will be representing a different organic brand which is much simpler, and overall a lot better for everyone.

Another thing is that, if you didn't notice, I changed my "status" on here, talking about how I need to move to colorado within the next year. No clue how I'd get there, but I've had such a strong desire to move there over the past several years. Recently, I've had my husband looking for jobs to apply to, just to see. Well today, we're talking about where we see the salon in the next few years, and she's spouting off different areas of growth, and she mentions having a salon in what state? You guessed it. Colorado. I asked her why she mentioned Colorado, of all of the places, and apparently she has a really good friend who owns an already well established salon up there, who keeps calling her trying to get her to buy it. And she's looking into it very seriously, she just hasn't had the right staff. Until now?

*Cue X-Files theme song*

 

Is she the rep or the new hire? I mean, who was spouting off?

 

TMW your bum of a neighbor keeps bumming cigarettes. So one day he asks to bum one, I dig into my nose right in front of him, open my pack, touch all the cigs with my 'dirty' finger and say: "Sure you can bum one, which one would you like?" (I did that )

 

I get it.

I had some really weird coincidences as a kid following the charismatic faith.

And later I realised: life happens. Some people call it shit, but I prefer to call it life. Life happens. It's inexplicable, and it's easy to point to the big entity in the sky but it really is just life, happening.

I've written elsewhere that I am lucky, and strongly believe that. Things still fall into place despite my evolution out of the whole faith thing. Really good things. Work, stuff like that.

Glad to read stuff is working out for you

 

So what did he say?

 

He didn't take one, walked off huffing and puffing (not a cig of course).
