stoney3211. Foot shufflers. You're too tired to pick up your foot all the way, so you are just gonna shove it along the ground? NO. This is fork on a china plate level irritation for me. I'll have to REPLACE MY KNEES one day (I just have bad knees) and even I can lift my foot a full inch off the ground and ambulate. (Can't help it, it strikes me as lazy/slovenly.) Ick, that slippery high-pitched sheening noise that slippers make on tile makes me want to stab my ears. Wait, not mine, theirs.
2. Negative Nancys. The people that find the potential problem, that see a flaw, that see a problem, that just have to contradict, like it's a freaking ingrained reflex (which it probably is by now.) I have literally posted about how I freaking HATE that kind of banter in my LJ three times THIS YEAR SO FAR. It's March 3. And for the umpeenth time: this is my personal journal that you enjoy with me, not a community journal where we have to share space.
I do not care if you hate something I love. It is douchebaggy to tell me that you hate it when I just said I love it. Period. You may be a wonderful, kind, and loving person IRL. But that kind of commenting makes me see only the douchebaggery and I will call you out on it. UGH. How many times do I have to post about this, good hell! From this point forward I will give a canned response: "What the f*ck is wrong with you?" but I won't omit the letter U, because that's the important part in the equation.
3. People who don't know their boundaries. EXAMPLE. I have just posted a review of, say, National Geographic's Expose on Cave Systems and talk at length about my own experiences spelunking. You then comment with something thusly: "So I'm confused, when you went spelunking you wore a bathing suit, right? I ask because when I put a bathing suit on I immediately get a severe rash on my cha cha, then my boyfriend (who is married to a woman that hates caves, it's so weird) gets the rash on his hoo hoo dilly, and it would help me if you would come over while I sit on a mirror and validate my existence. Also, I think you have a drinking problem."
(omg, I am lol'ing so hard.)
BUT SERIOUSLY. I do not want to know about your sex life, stranger. I especially do not want to know about it on a post about a tv show. Unless we are RL friends, I don't need you coming over here (or to Hey, Don't Judge Me) and filling me in on specific life choices you're making. Unless I ask you for specifics, let's consider that a rule, shall we? What you do in YOUR space is a-ok with me. I just don't want it HERE, that's fair, right? STAY ON TOPIC.
IN COMPLETELY UNRELATED NEWS: I saw an outdoor bathtub (!!) made to look like a giant GEODE. I wish it really was a geode, the crystals all smoothed over inside, instead of the cement-polish look, because then it would be like bathing inside a huge gemstone. It would feel tres glamorous, non? I <3 geodes.
Also, I want patterns for these bathing suits because I want to make my own. <-- I'm insane, we all know this. But cute retro-styled bikinis are either impossible to find, or super expensive. I'm looking at you, Betsey Johnson, with your almost $100 per piece.
Lastly, I wish that the garden blogs that have pretty designs would actually point out what ALL of the plants are, instead of saying one or two, then you're left wondering what the amazing blah blah in the foreground is. You can rest assured that I will note everything. EVERYTHING. I'll even point out the damn nematodes, if you wanted. ;)

That is seriously cool and I would live there happily. Also, you should know that your reviews of Spartacus made my husband go dl the entire series (the one before, too) and catch up. He's very happy with the show - mostly because of all the Lucy Lawless bewb.

Date: 2011-03-03 03:39 pm (UTC)Ok, before that happens I will probably need to get a fulltime job and, like, not be in the living situation where my bed is a futon on the floor (student-style, not traditional!Japan-style), but WHATEVER I can dream.
I'm sure patterns for bathing suits exist- apparently some companies make vintage type patterns that are sized for today, which might be helpful (I hear Butterick and Vogue are good companies to look at). Maybe this (http://coutureallure.blogspot.com/2011/03/why-cant-i-find-50s-dress-that-will-fit.html) will be helpful? Interesting, at any rate.

You can buy from McCalls and Butterick their old patterns, and people on Ebay sell them (for ridiculous mark ups) I've just not bitten the bullet yet. COME ON, ME, COMMIT.

I was also going to send you here: http://www.modcloth.com/ to look at swimsuits, but then I realized that they are about $89 for a one piece, which isn't necessarily that much cheaper than old Betsey.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-03 04:34 pm (UTC)I've heard bad things about modcloth, in that the quality isn't worth the price. (I mean, hey, I typically buy my bathingsuit pieces from J. Crew where they're 40 - 50 per piece, so it's mostly trying to get the look I want for less, but not sacrifice quality. <-- HEY HOW NOVEL, NO ONE DOES THAT. lol.)
I found the CUTEST 2 piece last year from Betsey, and EACH PIECE was $120. To freaking sit in a pool. Nuh uh, I'm still too Mormon in my soul to spend that kind of money, I can't help it.

Kidding. Sort of. I do on occasion shuffle my feet, but I try really hard not to. It's a bad habit I've not quite kicked.
I have to ask, where do you find these awesome photos of houses? I love looking at that kind of stuff.

As for the rest ... yeeeaaahh. Boundaries, people. I'm glad you told off the I Hate Modernism person, because it's horrible to smash someone's loves.

I just don't get why there's a disconnect with people where they feel like they NEED to tell you the opposite. Especially in someone else's space. I don't go to people's LJs who go on and on about Hawaii 5-0 with how disgusting I find Scott Caan, BECAUSE THAT IS DICKISH. Yeesh.

And it drives me nuts when not all the plants are identified. I actually once wrote to the author of a gardening book I own to ask him about a specific picture. (And he write me back - such a nice person.)

Date: 2011-03-04 04:40 am (UTC)Foot shufflers! It seemed to be a thing with girls when I was in late elementary/middle school. I mean, it almost seemed desirable to cultivate a foot shuffle/foot draaaaaag. It seems creepy, somehow, that someone would say, "Now that is the persona I'd like to project to the world!" Draaaaaag.
Let's ignore all those no-fun haters and over-sharers, and go get some awesome metallic grey-green polish manicures tomorrow, is what I'm saying.
