LOL whut, Ruben Diaz? I only got the end of it, very confusing. What was he saying?
This guy was seventeen in 92? What happened to you, bb?
He's the only Democrat voting against the bill, he wants you to know that first of all. And the rest of his party is sending a bad message to the people.
He spent basically all of his 2 mins talking about how they were trying to take away his right to speak. As someone said on twitter: I love the irony of someone voting against gay marriage complaining about his rights being taken away in a debate.

It seems the USA suffers from the same problem as my country. Politicians who don't know how to give a speech.
Oh god yes.
These people were seriously elected? For what?
/da

That's fantastic! I haven't seen this on my own feed but, wow, I'm so happy for everyone right now :DDDDD
I hate how in most cases Amazon lists reviews of some thing on all editions of that thing :( I was looking at BSG box sets just now (at Amazon and Amazon UK) and I can't tell which one is better, because on both sites the reviews are the same for the DVD set and the Blu-Ray set. The lists of additional materials on English editions seem to be the same too, but I've only glanced at them (since I have only seen a part of the first season) and I'm afraid that there's something that I'm missing. The descriptions of American box sets don't go into the detail about the additional materials at all. If there are any BSG nonnies here, could you please tell me which box set is the best one in your opinion?
Also general Amazon thread. As some of you may know, Amazon.de shipped some two or three hundred copies of A Dance with Dragons early, so ASOIAF fans that don't want to be spoiled will have to be extra careful until their books arrive (or the first of July if they are in Australia). Argh.

I can't make any comparisons, but I can tell you which one I have and more or less what's on it. I bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.de/BATTLESTAR-GALACTICA-COMPLETE-1-2-3-4-5-25-DVD-BOX-NEU-/400166641345?pt=DE_DVDs&hash=item5d2bca5ec1 (but mine was only €70, ha). It features the complete series including the mini-series and almost all webisodes. Razor is included, The Plan is not. There's also TONS of bonus material (deleted scenes, episode commentary plus one whole disk with that stuff) that I haven't watched yet.

I did not know that, but it explains some of the dire warnings I've read about the consequences for spoiling people.

lg_interview
lg_interviewThank you so much for the reply, nonnie <3 It looks like the English DVD set, which I was kind of leaning towards, because of the detailed description and the price (it's closer to the one you paid than the one on eBay on Amazon UK). I'll probably ask around some more, though, and may get the Blu-Rays if the content is the same and not worse than the one on DVDs like it was with LotR..
Where did you read them? Are we on the same forums? :)
Would a nice nonnie give me the link to the x-men anon meme? :)
I didn't even know there was one.
ayrt
I know there's one because someone posted the link here on meme a while ago but now I can't find it.

I used to have friends, both IRL and on the internet. It's not easy for me to make friends, so I tend to value the friendships and relationships that I do have. But pretty much all of my relationships tend to go sour and I'm wondering... the common factor has to be me, right? Maybe I'm the one turning people off. Maybe I'm just not interesting or good enough and they get bored with me after a while.
I once had a really close relationship with another fan on LJ (just friendship). We would talk every day, e-mail, comment on each others' journals, etc. and then she decided to leave fandom. It felt like she was pulling away from me too and we just kind of lost touch. Maybe I should have tried harder or been... idk, more interesting. Now she's kind of back and all I feel is indifference.
It's the same IRL. I have a group of friends that I've been close with since elementary school. I introduced two of my best friends to each other and now they hang out together almost every day but they don't call me to come around or even text me anymore. Maybe we just grew apart, but it really sucks that they were both friends with me first and now they can't even be bothered to text me. So I'll sit at home on Friday and Saturday nights whilst they go hang out with each other. I can fully admit that part of it was most likely me. I got busy with school and work and they each stay home all day every day, so maybe it's just a friendship of availability. IDK, but it hurts a lot. Maybe if I was... more, more interesting, more pretty, more anything, they'd want to hang out more when they know I'm available. I want to reach out but I kind of feel like... why bother? They've each judged me and found me wanting. Maybe I'm just a horrible person and deserve to be alone for the rest of my life.
Maybe there's something about me that keeps running people off. Maybe I keep pushing them away to test them, and then I blame them when I've pushed too far and they give up on me. I don't want to be like this. I don't want to push people away. I don't know how to make new friends this late in life and I don't even know if it's a good idea. What if they grow tired of me too or I push them away too, ya know? Why invest in relationships if they all seem to go bad in the end anyway?
Maybe I'm just meant to be alone forever.
