…I’m more interested about how she’s doing that with her thumb.

I’m double jointed, so I can do all sorts of fun things with my thumb :).

so excited for The Muppet Movie! two versions: did these with toothpicks after a bottle of wine, which is why they’re so shaky.

my nail art love letter to hyperbole and a half

After a slew of racist and generally offensive comments I told this guy IMing me on OkCupid to fuck himself. What came back was: 

 

jjt9210:and your a fat fuckin cunt

jjt9210:go eat yourself to death

jjt9210:you only wish you can be skinny

jjt9210:go fuck a nigger, spic, or some jew while your at it since im such a fuckin turnoff you mother fucker

Now, this dude is obviously not a shining example of a gracious human being, but what really struck me as interesting was him going straight for the fat thing. I’m just going to go ahead and assume that this guy isn’t walking around advocating for Fat Acceptance, and that he intended “fat” to be a derogatory comment on my appearance, so if I’m such a “fat fuckin cunt”, why message me in the first place? Isn’t this an insult that speaks more to his taste than my appearance? The real question here, jjt9210, is why you feel the urge to send unsolicited messages to girls you find so unattractive. 

This same issue also came up a little earlier in the conversation: 

 

jjt9210:cant say for sure but you look jewish??\

me:nope

me:my family is catholic

jjt9210:k

jjt9210:i dont like jews btw so im glad your not one

me:wow

If his “i dont like jews btw” statement is factually correct and not just trolling, why message a girl who “look[s] jewish”? Clearly jjt9210 is conflicted about what he actually wants. Dr. Agirlacity recommends lots of therapy or maybe a good old fashioned tar and feathering? Is being drawn and quartered still a thing? If so, that.  

(side note: I would normally NEVER include someone’s user name when posting a private conversation, but I believe if someone is truly heinous they deserve to be recognized as such)

Star Trek nail art! Taken after an evening out, so unfortunately a little chipped here and there. We have a Troi “uniform”, Picard, Crusher, Data, and the UFP logo on the thumb.

“Cowabunga, bro-zone layer. Your homies may think it’s bitchin’ to do stuff you’re not down with—like ride the side of the subway, which nobody ever does ever. Even if they get all up inside of your grillpiece about it, though, you can just tell those jokers to peace out… permanently. Wanna know what’s not wack? Safety! Words up.”

This seriously never occurred to me as a thing to do until I saw these signs. Suddenly subway surfing seems super cool and badass. Way to go PSAs!
