*Shakes Cane* Get off my lawn, you sparkly vampires! Back in my day, vampires were scary monsters that could become fog and flew at your face all the darn time when they turned into bats. Yup, every one of us had a guaranteed vampire killing kit sitting on top of the icebox.
I kind of believe that women who aren't feminist should turn in their right to vote, stop going to university or high school, find a husband and get back in the kitchen and start having babies. This hating on feminism comes off as ungrateful and extremely irritating to me.
I hate that it's a crime to be born a woman.
Didn't you hear that Goofus and Gallant later put aside their differences and settled down together? Opposites attract, yo.
Out of curiosity, are there any male whores? I just started the game and I'm having a blast. I love the change in the combat system. Vats kicks ass even though you can't target the groin anymore... I'm crossing my fingers that my housemate leaves the game behind when he heads to Wisconsin for the weekend.
The art makes me want to live there. I own one of his books and will probably buy another one as a late Great Pumpkin present to myself. I have to say that I prefer this type of art to modern art, excluding Broadway Boogie Woogie which is fantastic.
@Rasselas: Darwyn Cooke, though he is neither passive or devoid of style. The animated movie Justice League: The New Frontier is adapted from his work and I really enjoyed that so I wouldn't mind if a Spirit movie based on some of the comic issues he wrote somehow happened. Actually, I'd be really happy.
@Vicodiva: So, you're a Certified Linux Engineer?
Perfect, now I can wear suspenders and a bra just like my dear papa. Thanks for the fashion tips, Elle!
As an engineering student, I'm definitely planning on taking a philosophy of science class along with a fem class. Being able to communicate is useful.
@clair: Probably something like this :
@BuffySummers: I've always had trouble finding a decent brand too. It's mainly because I despise thick padding and all A's and AA's are usually padded fairly heavily and look a mite silly on me. Lately I've been buying bras from American Eagle online. I like the demi-cup and find that it actually fits me correctly and only has light padding. Plus, some of them convert to racer-back. I was actually thinking of buying a couple more since there's an online sale going on.
@woobie: Weird. I'm 23 and my friends aren't afraid to identify as feminist. I've been one since I complained about always having to rescue the princess in Super Mario Bros. I was like five.
@GuyNermit: Yeah, it's pretty sad how unsatisfied people are with their lives that they feel the need to knock a woman down. I don't get it. Do they know this actress personally? Did she kill their dog and steal their pie from the windowsill? Seriously, there's no need for such vitriol.
@littlemoose: Yeah, it makes me angry at how contradictory it all is but they can't see it. I've argued with people like that and it seems like they think that everything is out of their hands, that the world should work a certain way and when it doesn't, there's some omniscient parent who will fix everything. Hmmm...
@musicpup will not stand for McCranky: I've had this conversation with my parents over and over again. I've told them that a lot of kids would end up alone, unwanted, or neglected. Or that their parents or single parent couldn't provide for them. (They also dislike welfare.) And how if it was legal for only rape and incest, there would be more rapes reported, disputed, and ultimately disbelieved. (Her fault, her fault, her fault!)
But it always comes back to the "but you're killing someone" argument. I guess it's easy to take away a right when you're too old to have kids or have never had the fun of being reduced to T and A, and a uterus. On a positive note, I've managed to convince all my housemates to be pro-choice. And I found out that my grandpa had supported Hillary Clinton for president.
Well, as an undergrad double major engineering student, on Wednesday my group and I machined some metal blocks on a drill press, then welded them to a pole using MIG welding, then built a simple hammer mill which took until like 11 pm. Yesterday, however, I went to class, worked, then played Rock Band 2 for a couple hours.
Also, I got into engineering because it's interesting and kind of a family thing. (Plus, I do get the feeling that my dad was really relieved when I decided on going into engineering instead of art or something humanities related.)
These surveys are depressing. How can these girls choose to be ignorant of the world and how it works? It's like they don't understand what they're missing out on. Hey, what if all the men get wiped out like in Y: The Last Man? Who is going to building bridges and drawing up blueprints?
@Annalee Newitz: Argh! Stop it you girls! Stop having fun and going on the internet and stuff! That said, I wonder if the game has a sarcastic, bitter anime boy who likes to snark?
My deal breakers would be a refusal to read subtitles or books, not understanding the coolness of Doctor Who or Middleman, not being able to stomach b-movie flicks, and dissing Final Fantasy. (FF6!) Argh, I swear I saw red when I read a journal post where some soccer mom called a Final Fantasy game just another dumb video game. Good lord, I feel angry just thinking about it. It almost made me break my rule about not arguing with people on the internet.
The Elite 6 are a group of international assassins who killed my father and murdered my mother! Thank you, Good Morning America, for revealing their names. Soon their evil deeds will be uncovered!
