Misery Loves Making Out

Vintage! Pop culture! Ipad! Couture! Papier Mache! Repurposed!

I just looked through the 'find people to follow' list. I've never hated the word 'vintage' more.

oh my god. i need to get my dress altered. the wedding is october 30th. i just keep putting it off because i've been so busy. i have no idea how long something like that takes either. i know if you take it to david's bridal it takes awhile but i don't know about taking it to a local place. my dress is like 8 inches too long though so this is something that has to be done.

What do you wish your computer or laptop could do much better than it does now?

Longer battery life on a laptop. Most of them still only have about 4.5 hours. They should all have 7-8- even the inexpensive ones.

If you had the chance to travel for a year, where would you go?

I would travel across the US with the husband. I haven't really been anywhere - I'm traveling on a plane for the first time in a few months. I'd really like to see my country.

Hyperbole and a half

Hyperbole and a half is so fucking funny. You must look at it. It will make your eyeballs weep with happiness. If you enjoy that, you should also check out The Oatmeal. It will make your nose bleed rainbows.

 

well, today started off with a bang. frank got on the counter and ate
some soup from last night that we left out and then immediately vomited
it all back up all over the kitchen floor. awesome. and we're out of
paper towels...

The $1,155 Chanel iPad Case | someecards.com

Is showing off your iPad in public no longer feeling obnoxious enough? Is it time for people to know you're mind-bogglingly garish enough to pay three times as much for its carrying case? Then allow Harper's Bazaar to introduce you and your pointless device to the new fall fashion line-up. Every high-end designer debuted a stylish option, with Chanel breaking the bank at $1,155.

Suicide: Trigger Warning

I watched a special on 20/20 tonight about suicide chat rooms. These people get together and talked about being depressed, discuss the best way to kill themselves, and will sometimes even make pacts with each other to commit suicide together or in front of a webcam for everyone to see. This is all so fucking disturbing on so many levels.

It scares me that these people are all feeding off each other in these rooms with no one to snap them back into reality - on the contrary, there is more likely to be someone to push them further towards the edge. I feel for these people, I really do. I have been there on many occasions but suicide is not a good option.

You just have to hold on. I'm not trying to insinuate that things are going to be great all the time either. Things suck sometimes. Mental illnesses are usually chronic, you basically just have to resign yourself to that fact. You will never be "fixed". You will have to take your meds everyday and do what your doctor says and fucking "fake it 'til you make it" like the rest of us. Give the people around you a chance to help you before you do anything drastic. If you don't they'll spend the rest of their lives living with the guilt of wondering if they could have stopped you. You owe it to yourself and everyone who loves you to ask for help.

Fat

So I'm fat. It is not fun. I am roughly 60 pounds overweight. I wasn't always fat. I didn't get this way until I was in my early 20's - I'm almost 27. I used to be relatively thin. I was never super-skinny but I was in shape. Now, I am fat. This post is for all the people who think that us fatties should just go out for a run and quit being a bunch of fat, whiny, sad sacks. The idea of have 50+ pounds to lose is daunting to say the least. Add to that, not being able to fit into your old clothes, not being able to find new clothes that fit properly, being self-conscious while doing everything - eating, working out, shopping, it's endless. If you have never been fat you do not know what it is like. I'm not saying I didn't make my own bed. I'm just wondering where all the hatred for fat people comes from?
