What are you thinking? (Version 6)

[Adam (birkin)]

Noooooo! Don't leave, Keaira! I love listening to you.

In other news, I was scrolling down my Facebook page when I came across this gem:

And it is, of course, filled with comments like "Ohoho, silly girl! Well, she'll learn the difference when she grows up."

I'm sitting here thinking, Oh no... oh... oh... noooo...

So I posted "You may want to keep an eye on that kid. She might be serious. I know quite a few guys who started as girls."

What do you guys think, was that a good idea? I just don't know... I want to help young people, but I feel like that kind of advice coming from a "known transsexual", as I am, may have made things worse... Like, before it was a joke, a cute little kid thing, but now they might be thinking "Oh no, we better get her more Barbies and burn everything in the house that's colored blue."

I feel like any time I try to help someone, they end up worse off than if I just left them alone.

Hard to say, I think it depends on the people you said it to. If they're like really religious and afraid of people "catching the queer" (I couldn't think of a better way to put this), they might be like "omg bring on the Barbies." But, chances are, they might just get the "oh, not MY precious baby child" syndrome. I don't think your help was misplaced, but it is hard to know how they will take it.

Queue sounds of breaking glass.

Oh the moments when my childhood illusions were shattered... A harsh welcome to the real world.

Lol Malachite's example is pretty tame to my mom. One time I told her I was scared that someone would break into the house and kill me while I slept, and then I wouldn't know I died. She said "oh sweetie, someone like that would wake you up before they kill you because they'd want to see you suffer." Lmao.

Come to think of it I don't think she said "suffer", I think she said "they'd want to see your fear" or pain or something like that. But same idea.

sounds like an excerpt from a movie promo

I bought a book that has some of the lessons on CDs, but I went to put them on my computer and realized "cd 1" is really "cd 2" even though it's labeled "cd 1". "CD 2" is still just "CD 2".  I bought it on Amazon and it shipped from the UK, so I really don't want to go through the trouble of them having to send me a new set of the CDs, especially since it's a manufacturing error, who knows, maybe an entire batch was faulty. I wonder if I can get Amazon to just let me download the mp3 version that comes with the AmazonKindle version. . .

Just watching this was bad....




I used to be a chimney sweep and some of the stuff I did then was scary, can't imagine how bad I would react to that.

Scary alright! I was doing hailstorm claims only two stories up on 8/12 pitch composition roofs in St. Louis a dozen years ago and wondered to myself how the heck did I ever jump out of airplanes when I was younger? I was thinking that if I had sat down on those slick roofs they'd have to extract me with a helicopter. I think when we're young like Malachite was saying, that we assume that we're impervious to anything bad happening to us, as we mature and look around we start to consider our mortality and common sense sets in. (well maybe in some!)

Can't hurt to ask if you can figure out how to contact them! Their homepage doesn't seem to have any contact access.

Hair is useless at keeping you warm.

Hair is useless at keeping you warm.

Pfft, during the winter my legs looks kinda.. grizzly bear. Like really dense and long hairs and I like to tell myself that they keep me warm! Probably doesn't but I do feel a huge difference between short and longish hair on my head actually.

[King Malachite]

Debating if I should start using the phase "if you live long enough" when refering to future actions people will or may encounter at the end of sentences.  I learned this from my father.  He would start incorporating "if you live long enough" in sentences.  It's depressing but true.  Now I'm tempted to tell people "oh you will/probably will (insert action) if you live long enough."  I wonder if that will be offending to people.

I sometimes us the saying "God willing" meaning that even though I think I control my fate I know it's not true. I never use it here as some would get their drawers in a wad over it.

Lol I can imagine!  I try to be extremely careful in what I say and how I word things, especially here because the tinyist thing can set someone off on a tangent.

Shantel's version is basically just Insha'Allah

Looks like it's my T-anniversary. \o/ Life's never been this good.

I have a sudden urge to reread Scandinavia and the World.

I won't even bother wondering why that would be. |D

Innuendo or entendre?  Oh, decisions!

Just crop it so there is no text.

It made it so he didn't move his little paws though! >.<

That sucks. I thought it didn't matter if you cropped a GIF?

Speaking of GIFs, this one is pretty cute.
