Today, I got a "Avoid Being a [Rape] Victim" sheet...
tulletulle: missworld: femasculine:prettyyoungtext:
Screw that. I put together a sheet of my own from various other sources to distribute to my classmates tomorrow. I would have liked to include a lot more information, but printing stuff costs money (specifically, my limited funds). With some careful formatting and double-sided printing, the text will fit onto one sheet of paper. I copy/pasted...

Sharingtime makes fun of a guy
Guy makes a call on old cell phone in front of me in line.
Me: Hey, who're you calling on that thing? Natalie Imbruglia?
Guy: What?
Me: Get it? Because she's from the 90's and so is your phone!
Guy: I can't afford a new phone because I lost my job, my wife works three jobs just to pay the rent on our trailer, and we have to support our two special needs children. So excuse me if I don't have the newest phone. I spend my money on my family so we can live. Not on things.
Me: You're just jealous of my new Blackberry.
Guy: Who do you even type to on that thing?
Me: My fans.
Guy: You don't have fans.
Me: You don't know that.
Guy: I can smell the lies on you. Even though my life is difficult, you envy me. You'd give up your phone in a heartbeat to have what I have.
Me: Can't wait for iPad 2.0 to come out and fucking blow the Kindle out of the water. It's like, suck on THAT Amazon!
Guy: Do you want to come over to dinner sometime?
Me: Sorry, I don't eat food that comes out of a can.
Guy: I'm just going to start saying my address and while I'm saying it, you can type on your phone like you're typing to your fans, when in fact you're storing my address.
Me: I just had a killer idea for a post.
Guy: Ok, it's 637 Longwood Lane.
Me: People are going to love that post I just made.
Guy: 7 PM. Tonight.
Me: I'm busy tonight.
Guy: Reruns of Community on NBC do not constitute being busy.
Me: I'm just going to your house so I can check into it on foursquare and people will be like, "what's he doing on the bad side of town?"
Guy: Inviting you was probably a mistake.

May It Refresh You
In Arabic , a response is صحة (Sahha), which likely evolved from the word صحة (Sihha), meaning “health”, or نشوة (Nashweh) which means “ecstasy”. These responses are generally considered secular in nature. The response is either thank you شكراً (Shukran) or تسلم (Tislam/Taslam) which means “may you be kept safe”. Another typical response (generally considered religious in origins) to a sneeze...

There are two groups of kids waiting at the bus stop with me. The differences between the two groups are staggering and noticeable within the first twenty seconds of seeing them.
One group: two kids with bikes. One is pudgy and one is hilariously undersized, leading me to wish that I could…

Bisexuality For The Sake Of Fashion Is The Sexual...
nikkidekker: thepeacockangel:
Earlier today I was reading a series of posts about Katy Perry’s song “I kissed a girl” and some people were commenting about how the song trivializes homosexuality, and people were responding with “well, she was just having some fun” and here’s the thing… fashionable bisexuality? It’s the sexual equivalent of blackface.
For those of you who don’t know, black face...

Question
My boyfriend just popped two blackheads on my face. I’ve never had blackheads before, and I’ve certainly never popped them. But the fact that he popped them — we’re basically married now, right?
