It's a TV show. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637727/ I just watched the first two episodes. Not fully convinced I'll stick with it. It moves along a little too slow for my taste, but my main problem is that I can't stand the two detectives. I'll try the next two or three eps and then decide.

I don't have it, but then again I'm boycotting H+ out of principle. If i'm going to pay for a service, the decent thing is to at the very least put less commercial (if any at all). I think Hulu Plus is a scam, and I wouldn't buy into it if the only alternative was buying content from the MPAA itself.

I'm pissed that regular Hulu won't work on mobile devices.
For the nonnie who recommended me Jade Empire and some cool games - Hi! :) I haven't started playing Dragon Age 2 yet but what I did play on my holidays last week was Super Mario World for Super Nintendo :D I downloaded an emulator and the game and couldn't help myself. This weekend though, I hope I start, at least, playing Dragon Age :)
People mistake me for anywhere between one and six years over my age, and their reasoning has always been how I "carry myself" or how I "hold myself." It's not an insult, imo. To me it's always meant that I seem more mature than my age would allow.
Hi! :)
Man, Super Mario World is the game of my childhood. My non-gamer uncle just randomly struck up a conversation with me about it the other day. I think I still have the cartridge around somewhere, even. My SNES is so old the plastic is yellow, and God knows if it actually still works, but I couldn't bear to throw it away.
I am embarrassingly excited that you're picking up DAII. You must of course tell me everything, and show me screenshots of your character and the whole bit. Yeah, I'm way too invested, stop judging me. Are you going to be playing it on PC or console? If PC, I can point you at useful mods, though it's probably best if I let you play for a bit and form your own opinions about whether e.g. Isabela should be made to wear pants.

Also, I hope you like fanart, because Dragon Age fandom produces it at a rate and quality that are absolutely fucking prodigious. I'm spending so much time on DeviantART lately.

Is anybody else watching? I finally found a working streaming link for the men's short (thanks, kind person at goldenskate!) and now I'm sitting here and going "wow, these guys are so YOUNG. They're like, KIDS". I feel like an old lusting cow. Back when Yagudin and Goebel were still competing the guys were my age or older and lusting after them was un-weird.
So last night I got high for the second time, and I had what I realize now was a panic attack. At the time, I thought there was something wrong with me. I didn't think it was a normal experience (though I see now that it was). I kept saying I felt like I was becoming less real, and I was afraid if I fell asleep I would stop existing. I was really very worried about that. I could barely tell the difference between what I was doing and what I was just thinking.
I didn't keep my cool at all. I narrated what I felt a few times; I'm absolutely certain that sounded both psychotic and idiotic. When I first started to go numb toward the beginning, I banged my head against the couch a few times because the pressure made me feel more normal. I was insistent that something was wrong with me, though I'm not sure if I was actually as annoying as I think I was or if the amount I thought about it makes it seem worse. At one point, I started crying. That's probably the most embarrassing bit, I'd say.
Anyway, through most of this, I knew either there was something wrong with me and my friend and her boyfriend would get someone, or I was fine and it'd go away. When no one ever came, I realized I must be alright and I let myself fall sleep. I'm fine now. My question is, if this happened to one of your friends, would you look at them differently? I feel like I've committed social suicide, and I just don't have those kinds of friends to spare. I know it's kind of a weak thing to worry about, but I can't help it.

If they drop you, they're jerks. High or not, panic attacks are no fun and people who give you grief about them are assholes.

Okay, sorry. That wasn't very helpful. Most likely scenario if they were also high (or drunk), they'll remember your babbling and will have found it amusing. There'll be teasing, but you didn't commit social suicide, nonnie.

I'm not sure if they know that's what it was or if I just looked really, really high. My friend said she thought I was just a paranoid high. Dunno if that's the same thing.
I hope so. I certainly didn't make the situation better this morning when I asked what had gone wrong. My friend was like, "You were just high. That's what being high feels like," and I kind of disagreed while saying I guess so, maybe, you must be right and asking how being high felt to her. Ugh, I dunno. Thank you, though.
My first high was bad too, and I've been very open with everyone I've discussed it with about it being terrifyingly awful (among other things, apparently pot makes it difficult for me to get out of the loop when I embark upon a repetitive behavior of some kind, possibly because I am neurodivergent and have repetition issues anyway. I would start scratching my leg, for example, and it would require every shred of my willpower to stop before I took off all of my skin -- I have scars from that evening). I've come in for a little bit of friendly mocking, but no more than I deliberately invite on a regular basis (that is, not above the friendly mocking baseline for my social circle), and have received several more casual offers of pot, but no pressure to try it again.
I can't speak for your friends, and there are a lot of factors here, like age -- if you and your social circle are of the age at which sharing drugs is a matter of social initiation, which I am not, this may be different for you -- but potheads are mostly pretty mellow, and the average regular user has had a bad high of their own at some point. I would be surprised if this came back to bite you socially. If it does, explain that you were having a panic attack. Obviously, I'm sympathetic because I've had a bad high myself, but I was moved by your description.

...suddenly has a date. O.o Yeah, I don't really know how it happened, either, but here I am. I kinda want to jump the guy but I'm not sure what to do if we make it to the bedroom. How does this sex thingy work if it's not just me and my toys? HELP!
As a 22 year old who has never been kissed let alone been on a date or done some bumping and grinding, I have no advice. But I wish you the best of luck! I hope the date goes well. And if you get lucky be sure to fill us in on the details haha ;)
As another 30 year old virgin- GO YOU!
I have no idea how these things work, but seconding that you come back and tell us all about it.

I'm a virgin too but I don't understand this view. What's so complicated about it? You make out a little, take off your clothes, grab each other's parts according to your preferences, then if you want there'll be some fingering/oral/etc etc, then he puts on a condom and sticks it in, unless you're pegging him or something. Then y'all rut for a while and if needed you or him rub your clit, then hopefully you come, he comes, condom goes in the trash. What's the part that got you confused?
If you're comfortable enough to go to bed with him, it may be a good idea to disclose that you're a virgin/that you're not experienced. On the other hand, it's not really any of his business how many people you have or haven't slept with.
Anyway, you say you have toys; I assume you have a pretty good idea of what you like. Don't be shy about communicating that. Most people enjoy pleasing their sexual partners and respond well to "Would you do x? I like it a lot", within reason. He will probably feel awesome if you seem to be having a great time, and the best way to do that is to actually be having a great time.
It's not a bad idea to ask him what he likes if he isn't communicating his interests clearly. If he's not articulate about sex, and a lot of people aren't, specific yes-no questions are better than vague "So ... what do you want to do?" questions.
Use protection. Don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable. Have fun!

CONDOMS ROSE, CONDOMS CONDOMS CONDOMS! *couldn't resist*
Oh, it's not the logistics, I'm totally clear on those. It's the silly awkwardness that's guaranteed to be there because I have never done that stuff before.
AYRT TOTES OKAY. I LOVE GOLDEN GIRLS.
Thanks, your advice is gold! Yes, I know what I like, now I only have to make it work with a real guy. Let the awkwardness (or maybe not ;)) commence!

If I were you I'd just be clear about it. Explain that you're not a blushing angel or anything but that due to whatever circumstances you happen to never have done this with someone else before, so he should excuse any awkwardness on your part. Don't make it into a big deal and it won't be. In fact aknowledge the silliness.
