I'm in the no kids camp.
1. What is your main reason for not wishing children?
I have no desire to have kids. I'm just naturally not an affectionate person; I didn't even like cuddling when I was a baby. (There's no reason in particular why I have a touch aversion, as far as I can tell. Maybe...
When I was a kid, my mom came into my room and said, "Oh, you went back to bed?" I was confused because no, I'd just woken up.
But apparently a few minutes before, I had gotten out of bed, walked down the stairs, opened the fridge, stared at it blankly, closed it and went back to bed without...
I've apparently recently become pretty badly allergic to mosquito bites. Which I didn't even know was possible? The last time I got bit, it was so bad I almost considered going to the hospital.
Luckily this is only a problem in the summer, though.
The Expanse!
It's kind of like a modern, polished Firefly with more production value and more politics (but it sacrifices a little of Firefly's personality). If you have Amazon Prime, I recommend it.
And Amos > Jayne fite me
Yo, there is definitely a name for that.
Fear of failure, imagining the worst case scenario and fear of people are textbook symptoms of social anxiety and GAD (I have both and I have all these same symptoms down to a T). And clinical anxiety is usually rooted in experiences during childhood...
Mmm, I don't think we have that much ununusual slang in BestCal NorCal. We do say "hella" and occasionally "hecka," overuse the word "dude," and we use a lot of "like"s just like SoCal. We say soda, milkshake, sandwich, etc. We say "boba tea" and not "bubble tea."
If you go over to Santa Cruz...
Passive aggressively leave bottles of water in inconvenient places, like on your toilet seat, in your chair, on your TV and in your bed.
Wait this was supposed to be a lighthearted joke but I just realized it could actually be helpful
It was basic haunted house stuff, I guesss.
TVs, lights, and faucets would turn on by themselves. The toilet would flush by itself. My sister heard disembodied voices when she was home alone. My sister's friend, who was house sitting while we were gone, also heard them one time and bolted out...
Do you like alt/indie/hipster stuff? : 3
I recommend Arctic Monkeys, Tame Impala, Modest Mouse, and Silversun Pickups. And (somewhat) lesser known: Glass Animals, Phantogram, MISSIO, the Wombats, and Miike Snow.
Oh, and this is more post-hardcore, but I think Enter Shikari is pretty...
Oh my gosh, I just found out about that one, too. It looked so good! It's a shame Sy-fy didn't give it a greenlight.
Kind of reminded me of that Wild Wild West movie, but not, y'know, an hour and 47 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.
I dunno if this is exactly what you're looking for, but the ice bucket challenge. They raised a lot of money for ALS, which is pretty cool. Despite the fact that people were just dumping water on their heads.
Just want point out that it is possible for people in a relationship that's not heterosexual to have kids.
For example, a pre-op trans woman and a cisgender woman in a relationship could have kids.
Sorry to nitpick, carry on. : P
1. Bend your knees slightly
2. Put your arms firmly around their waist
3. Slowly extend your knees while keeping your back straight
Congratulations, you've just picked up a guy or a girl. : D
