Then keep on trying! You only failed once: when you stopped trying!

When I first came to the US, I gained weight. I lost it with effort! 

I used to have access to exercise equipment, and healthy good food, and nice things when I lived at home. Nowadays, I don't have many ways to lose weight other than run or something, and I'm very self-conscious about appearing out in public like that.

I'm sorry to be so negative. I really, really want to be thinner.

Giggling has got to be one of the most annoying sounds there is.

Are you sure?

Quote from: Liminal Stranger on February 22, 2013, 10:21:45 PM
Too much squishy. I can see my ribs and yet my pathetically sparse-haired stomach is squishy.

Shaved a ridiculous amount of white fuzz off my chin and surrounding areas. Now it's all itchy.

My stomach's squishy. So's my hips and my butt.

[Yes, that isn't proper grammar, I'm aware.]

Anyway...

...Alien show on t.v.!  I love it. x3

There is no such thing as a non-squishy stomach. Humans are all squishy, except for our bones.

I've got a little more squish than necessary.

But I'm lazy so it probably won't go away anytime soon. >.>;

And...there's something wrong with me, I swear.  There's a subgenre of yaoi that I absolutely love, but it's so weird.

But this one is really squishy. Too squishy. Must be leaner and not squishy like the hideous things growing on my chest. Those need to be not squishy too.

It uses build...

I'm underweight almost no matter how you look at at it compared to my height.

I'm watching an online lesbian drama on Youtube and I look at the comments and a lot of people are like "I'm not really gay but I love this." or "I'm straight but this show is the best." etc.  I'm thinking to myself  "are you serious?"  You don't have to be gay to enjoy a show that's centered around gays/lesbians.  It's good that you enjoy the show but please be a bit more secure in your identity.  You don't see gay people watching a straight show but saying "I'm gay/lesbian but I just love this show!!!!"  Just say you love the show.  Gosh it almost seems like people are scared of others thinking they are gay because they like a gay show.  I can understand that logic of other people were physically around but online?

Rant over

I agree with your rant.

I'm also still mad at myself. *sigh*

I agree with Malachite's rant as well.
I also have a rant on eating disorders and healthy eating, but... no one tends to listen when I rant about such things.
Why are you mad at yourself, Caleb?
My friend wants me to go see a movie with her that I don't want to see. I want to see another one instead. Oh well.

This is sad but people in Kentucky and Tennessee out in the hills really shoot possums to eat them:( they think they're good.

Way to put down someone's lifestyle. Opossum is a common meal for people who hunt for their own food. The internet is loaded with possum recipes. I've never tried it, but I wouldn't hesitate to sit down at the table for this:

Ingredients:

1 large possum, skinned, dressed, and washed
1 quart beer
4 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon salt
2 onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 sweet potatoes
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 ounce whiskey

directions:

Mix the beer, whiskey, salt, Tabasco sauce, and Worcestershire sauce together. Place possum in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle the celery, onions, and the garlic all over the possum. Pour the liquid mixture over the possum as well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350F. Place the sweet potatoes around the possum. Bake covered for 1 1/2 hours. Baste once or twice with the marinade from the pan as the possum cooks.

Now doesn't that sound like any roast? Hugs, Devlyn

I concur!

I think people think that eating an opossum is creepy because they look like large rats. I used to have a Belgian Schipperke, they kill rats. This dog suffocated two large Opossums in my back yard thinking they were rats.

Right now i'm thinking my ex is an idiot, she had the chance to have Poopie on weekends when I move into my new place in a month but she's shown her true self & blown it, she'll probably never see him again now.

I'm also thinking i'm over the moon that poopie is back with his rightful owner. . . . .me!
Happy, happy, joy, joy!!

Devlyn,

Not exactly putting it down, as MY family are the ones shooting , killing and eating the things! I just am not fond of all my childhood memories here that involved my grandfather making me watch while he gutted the nasty possum and then made me eat it.  I kind of thought it was just people here in TN (where I live) and KY that actually ate them. My grandfather always just said it was a 'southern hills tradition'.......

Hopefully possum-eating will stick to the southern hills and not make its way farther north

Here in Washington state we drive our cars over them. Possum road pizza anyone?

Yeah, I brought a friend home from college with me once, she was from Chicago, when my grandfather tried to serve her possum, first she thought he was joking, then I think she got sick in the bathroom.....but it's probably just one of those things that's not weird if that's what you grew up eating all the time.  She never came back to visit with my grandparents again, hey it's diverse cultures that make the world go round!

Exactly! Do you have to be a bird to enjoy a documentary about birds? Or a woman to enjoy a show where the protagonist is a girl? In the end, it doesn't significantly impact your life that some people on the internet now know of your status as a heterosexual fan of this show. It's like saying "no homo" after a sentence because you think it sounded a little sexual or weird or whatever. Point is, no one cares. Now get on with life and focus on something more trying than your quest to prove awesomeness as a heterosexual person because that just makes you lame.

I hope that tradition stays in the hills and doesn't migrate down to GA. Even though with some people it may have.
