Every day I try to be glad about at least one thing.


Today....it is that I don't have Asian parents.

Haha, my parents aren't Asian (obviously), but we are immigrants. So I get all that with a different accent.

Be very grateful.

With good reason. I've been telling myself for years that I will be nothing like my parents when I have kids. I mean I love them, but in all honesty, they can be real batsh** crazy!
 
cougs--you just ruined my mental image of you. I guess I'm not as good at mental images as you (?)
Oooooh, I want to hear your mental image of me🙂

I'll give you mine if you want.

You're white. Not taller than 5'9 or 5'10. Quirky. Most people either really love you and think you're hilarious, or hate you and think that you're neurotic and annoying with not much in between. You're built like a T-Rex (big legs, little arms), you have a funky haircut...or want a funky haircut but don't have one because you're conforming. And maybe you bite your nails.
Edit: I am not as confident about this one as I was about the last one. I'm only like 65% on it instead of 90%. I was more taunting you with my mental image😉

Hear, hear, Although we're immigrants too....albeit from Europe. Doesn't stop my folks from being strict though...At least it's not like the recent threads...
 
Anyone just watch the UFC fight? It was epic.

not even close on anything except race, height, and how people respond to me. T-rex, wtf lol!
 
I'm 5'8" with a totally normal haircut, don't bite my nails, and average bulk upper and lower body except the thousands of hours of tennis has given me really defined chest and abs. A lot of people don't know this, but most of the power for a tennis shot comes from twisting your torso. My worst feature = big ears. My personality = complete failure--all the people I want to like me don't like me and all the people I find unbearably annoying won't leave me alone.

I'm gonna have to come up with something for my mental image of you that can match a t-rex analogy rofl

I just tried to come up with a mental image of you, but I gave up. I would have just been bs-ing the whole thing except that you're taller than me.

Just for fun, here's the bs i came up with: you're tall. Personality=doesn't suffer fools gladly, and likes to hang out with a select group of people you know aren't fools. Ummm....what else...I guess since I'm making stuff up, i shouldn't have to think so hard. I'm gonna go with that you really like those toe-socks that are colorful and are like gloves for your feet, but always thought they were too vapid and hannah montana-ey to buy any for yourself. <--that is my revenge for the t-rex thing

Is there anyone you have a really strong mental image of? I feel like there were some people I had nothing for, but others I had fairly defined ideas of what they'd look like.

Cougs is hard, I don't think I would have guessed without seeing her.

Nope, I think I need to talk with ya'll longer to get any sort of image. You've seen her? was my bs close in any way at all?

cougs is hard for me too. Mainly because her avatar pic gets in the way. I keep imagining her as the guy on the left holding a pineapple.

Eventually she'll want to show you her feet, and you'll see the rest then too. We haven't met intimately or anything... yet.

:laugh: I need to find someone who looks nothing like me and put them as my profile picture. Really throw you guys off.

On the looks....no🙂
On the fools....sure🙂
On the toe socks....NO!!! I HATE TOE SOCKS! THEY MAKE ME WANT TO CHOKE SOMEONE.


Sorry....I just really really hate toe socks.

This is fun! I want to hear someone's mental image of me! Though since I'm active on facebook it's probably not that hard.

Tennis also gives you big arms. Or a big arm on your serving side. Slightly awkward. Aww now I miss playing tennis.
 
The guy staying on my couch is such an ass.

He totally flaked on me for plans we made and honestly has ****ed up my entire weekend. This was my 5 day vacation dammit. He sucks. So pissed. Can't wait to kick him out on Thursday. I have a feeling he thinks he will be staying longer than a week. Screw that.
you just made me scared that im rooming with someone random on craigslist...:scared:. Ive only lived with my wife and my best friend...

No you're fine. Randoms are good. You can yell at randoms. I still have some deluded notion that this guy is a "friend" so I am being nice.

Otherwise I would have told him that I am NOT cooking for him again, that he needs to do his own ****ing dishes, that my offer to take him to Magic Mountain (on my dime) was really-****ing-generous and he should have been grateful instead of agreeing then flaking at the last minute, and that when my dog comes up to him and nuzzles his hand, HE NEEDS TO PET HER.

Ok, I think I am really done this time.
 
I second that, I'd like to know too. Perhaps you are in fact a freak.
 
Ok now I need to know, what are your sink sponge habits?

I second that, I'd like to know too. Perhaps you are in fact a freak.
I throw my kitchen sink sponge away once a week. I buy sponges at Costco so I always have a ton of new ones under the sink.

I use the sponge with a bleach cleanser and clean the sink and counter with it once a week or so and then I don't think it is good to do that then use it on dishes, so I toss it. I also think sponges are gross. I am not a germaphobe at all but sponges are kinda ew.

Freak or not freak?

Mild freak, not gonna lie. I've known far freakier, though. Why not just have a sink and counter sponge that you use with the bleach and keep around?

Because then they have to be different colors so that I don't mix them up which means I have to buy them somewhere other than Costco and then they cost 5x as much. I live alone...and now I know
why😛
 
Damn! I missed the sex talk again. *kicks dirt*

Also, I'm curious to see what some of you have as a mental image of me (don't cheat at go to FB!).

I've already seen your pic, including with your pregnancy glow 🙂.

However, I'll describe a few things about you that are conjecture... I'm guessing in your living room you have at least one stage prop weapon on display, probably a bad ass sword. You also have at least one framed poster that is a cartoon drawing, perhaps of the lady hulk? Your computer is in your living room so you can watch the chicklet, movies, and chat on SDN simultaneously. I'm guessing you like to wear a lot of different sweaters (not at the same time or anything weird :laugh:) and wear square framed glasses (but hip ones). I'm also going to guess you like to carry big bags, and did this even before you needed it for the mommy stuff. You are down for the rpg, action movies, and comics... but I bet you also get your nails and hair done often.

Did I get anything right? 🙂

lol cougs i do the exact same thing literally. Get the blue ones and yellow ones from costco...either were both freaks, or great minds think alike...😛. My wife thinks its weird that i do this though

Hahaha, ok, well as long as I am not a TOTAL freak😉 I have a friend who is a total neat freak and I always thought that as long as I came in under her on any issue that I was ok, but apprently my sponge habits are weird.

He only found out about my sponge habits because he went to the sink and there was no sponge. And I said "Oh, I threw it away but there are more under the sink..." etc etc.

Wouldn't it have been weirder for him to go to the sink and for me to have to tell him he could only use a sponge of a specific color??🙂

GC, you know, I actually don't really have one of you yet!! But I LOVE rHinO's🙂
 
That "How much time do you spend on your feet" thread was not at all about what I hoped it would be about.

:laugh: How did I know that was coming? And actually, yeah, I thought it was going to be some sort of pedicure thread. Those may or may not be important for interviews, you know.

Closed toed shoes; they show you mean business when you say you like research! =P

BTW IMO it sucks that heels are generally de rigeur for women's interview dress.

Yes, that pretty much sucks. I plan to stash some business-y flats for walking around in. Also, I really hate matching suits but one does have to conform. The true question is what to do with my nose piercing... hm...

It's funny b/c that's the only alternative I can imagine being acceptable because most other alternatives look ultra frumpy.

Yeah, I mean I own a lot of really cute flats because my campus is literally made of all brick pathways and I prefer not to die on my way to class. I reaaalllly wish that I could get away with those. That and wearing a pant suit. But you have to account for all the types of people that may interview you, so... :shrug:

I don't see what would be wrong with a pant suit? It's a little fashion forward, but it's not like the women of the 90's didn't set a strong precedent for pantsuits. Although that also could be the reason they're not as accepted. Just don't wear gigantic shoulder pads =P

I look stupid in flats and a skirt.

If I am lucky enough to get interviews I will wear some low heeled Cole Haans.
I think most women look not as good as they could in flats and a skirt... they just don't mix very well.

Fixed that for you! 2015 is baller, remember?
Not as baller as you! =P
