Elder Holland's talk from General Conference was incredible. There's been a lot of talks and lessons now about the talk and trying to clear up those misconceptions of depression. I'm really glad they're being addressed.

Batsignal for Marduk and Bob. I'm pretty sure I sat next to you at lunch today. But, I was hesitant to say anything because I only met you that one time a year ago, and I didn't even really talk to you then.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
I read that as faux French, and was confused. Les batsignaux...
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Oh? I may be misremembering you, then. I would've thought I would recognize you. Random was also with us, but sat across the table.Violet wrote:Batsignal for Marduk and Bob.

If it was you, then I'll just say that it was an amazing talk she gave, wasn't it? Gives me hope.

I can't believe skinny jeans are still a thing seven years later. Ugh. I guess since my cohort are now in our late twenties, boot-cut, blue, low-rise jeans are "Mom jeans," and hip kids wear high-waisted skintight de facto leggings in horrifying colors.
I have to shop at the Gap and Nordstrom now, for my own sanity. I feel old.

Yeah, I drove the other car. Sat on Bob's left. That probably helps narrow down the group a bit.Marduk wrote:Oh? I may be misremembering you, then. I would've thought I would recognize you.

And yes, it really was a wonderful talk. It was uplifting in a way I've missed feeling. Also, she's just a wonderful all around person.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
OH OH OH!! I thought I recognized you from somewhere! Ha ha Marduk, I win.
I'll in-the-mouths-of-three-witnesses how wonderful that talk was. That's the first time I haven't tried to have a panic attack in sacrament meeting in a long time. I just can't be anxious with something that beautiful going on!

The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

All right, I'll bite. What's the deal with this talk? Was this at a regular Sunday meeting? What was it about?bobtheenchantedone wrote:OH OH OH!! I thought I recognized you from somewhere! Ha ha Marduk, I win.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Yeah, I'm confused, too. Because you apparently had lunch and went to sacrament meeting at the same time?
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Lunch was after sacrament meeting. One of my friends (which, on a separate note, I'd like to know how you guys know her) gave a wonderful, but scary to give talk and we went for support. Then we had lunch.

Real Talk: We need to sublet our studio apartment for the summer. It's in a really awesome part of SF, 3 blocks from Dolores Park, 2 blocks from Muni, 3 blocks from BART, some of the best taquerías period just a couple blocks in any direction. And we can give a pretty good deal. So if you know anyone who may be interning at Twitter, one of the finance places, or whatever: send them my way.

We met her at feminist FHE.

I think I need to stick to knitting hats. D: Other things are too hard and don't look as nice as I think they will.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
That makes sense. Clearly, I don't attend very often (I did once, but then life got busy, I moved, etc.). Although, I do have a few for this semester on my calendar.bobtheenchantedone wrote:We met her at feminist FHE.
mic0, I feel you there. I'm trying to make an infinity scarf right now. It's not going very well.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Oh man, I wish we had feminist FHE in my area. And apparently awesome sacrament meeting talks with lunch afterwards.bobtheenchantedone wrote:We met her at feminist FHE.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
I could not let this post go without validating it. Validated, validated, VALIDATED. Skinny jeans make normal-to-largish people look fat and squeezed into their clothes. Skinny jeans make skinny people just look weird--I had no idea the ideal body shape was apparently "long and stringy, like a squirt of toothpaste."Portia wrote:I can't believe skinny jeans are still a thing seven years later.

When I was in Argentina, the word I heard people use to describe skinny jeans (which I can't remember exactly) involved the verb chupar, which means "to suck." I'd say that's an accurate word to describe how most people look in skinny jeans; like they have been sucked in and had the clothes vacumn-sealed over them.
I honestly don't sit and stare at people wearing skinny jeans or anything, but skinny jeans are apparently one of my pet peeves. This was cathartic.

This chapter on pregnancy denial was fascinating. I had previously thought that Peggy's denial in Mad Men season one was not realistic, now Don saying "it will be like this never happened" makes a lot more sense. She fit a lot of the risk factors (cultural stigma, on birth control, youth, a lot to lose). I think my mother had a case of this, though not to the degree Peggy did. The brain is an interesting thing.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
oh, weird. Hysteric pregnancy is really weird too. Speaking of infanticide, sometimes Inuit women would leave a baby they couldn't care for to die. It kind of makes sense but it's also brutal and sad.
