I am absolutely not telling my parents how late I stayed up last night. They're not even in the country but I don't need to feel them judging me from over there.

The wall is there to ride on. He just hit it with his body instead of his bike.

Batman and Robin. I KNOW it's cheesy as hell but I was a kid and I loved it. I loved the aesthetic of Gotham but found the previous Batman villains too scary (Penguin, Two Face) but Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy weren't scary at all. It was a romp!

In BTVS they can. There's a vampire who's cursed with having a soul and is therefore unwilling to hurt humans, so he just toddles down to the butcher and gets blood from them.

Soulless vampires either like the hunt or just prefer the taste of human blood. For instance, some vampires just raid blood banks instead of hunting humans.

A kid once asked to pet my dog and I said no. Kid then proceeded to tell me my dog looked evil. I was enraged. She is a dog, she can't be evil, and she's absolutely terrified of strangers but especially kids.

Usually when I have to deny people petting this dog, I'll offer to let them pet the other dog who's normal, but fuck that kid, you don't get to pet any dog today.

I'm sorry to hear that. The changes my friend made are not med related, more on the side of diet and exercise, limiting stress responses, that sort of thing. Like I said, they're not gone so I'm not saying it's a cure, just that my friend feels she has a better handle on it.

Absolutely. There's no better feeling than knowing someone will always be there for you and have your best interests in mind. Cuddles and stupid jokes aren't bad either, if you're into that sort of thing.

Even in past relationships that didn't work out, I wouldn't say the time/money/energy was wasted either. I don't regret any of it, even if it was only to find out what didn't work for me and what I didn't want in the future.

I know you're trying to come to terms with being alone, but I truly believe love is worth fighting for, if you decide you want that. I hope you find the peace you're looking for.

Have you been to see a specialist about it? My friend did, and made some changes to her lifestyle which helped a bit but they're not gone, just better managed.

If it's really debilitating then I take a sick day. This is done through an app so I don't need to justify it. The only time I tell my boss is if it hits in the middle of the day and I need to stop working, which usually doesn't happen as I can usually tell when I wake up whether it's that bad or not.

I'm fortunate enough to work from home so it's nice that I can do whatever I need to get me through the day, like if I get nauseous I can puke freely and carry on without worrying about anyone hearing or walking through the office looking like garbage.

Mine are not that frequent though, at worst it's like once a month. I have a friend who has it really bad, she's been off work for ages because anything can set it off but she has no idea what, or how to get relief.

My sister definitely regretted letting me into her house whereupon I proceeded to eat almost her entire block of cheese.

Marcus Veltri (piano) and Rob Landes (violin) for anyone who's interested.

I'd also like to recommend Frank Tedesco for a similar kind of shtick but is funnier imo.

I used to work at an engineering firm and one day I saw one of the engineers leave at like 2pm on a Wednesday and he was like, "Bye, see you next week!" He had been busting his ass to finish a project and already hit his 40hrs for the week.

I was a temp at the time but needless to say, I jumped at the chance when they offered me a real job.
