You um... shouldn't stray too far outside young man. It's dangerous out there. Even for the Crimson Chin.

I've decided that Eharmony teaches you that you don't know as much about yourself or what you want as you originally think you do, and that you're not what most others in your matched group are looking for by at least 2+ things. ^^0


Most people have VERY LITTLE CLUE as to who they actually are. We believe grandiose things, overly positive things, overly negative things about ourselves. We lie about and to ourselves and/or make up personas because we think people will like or love us more if we change who we are. It's not always malicious. In fact, it rarely is. We do these things as children and teenagers because we want friends or family to adore us, to love us, to never be upset with us.

Now, for all of you who are reading this saying, "I've never changed for anyone!" Think about that statement first. Is it actually true? Have you never considered changing for someone? If you haven't, really and truly haven't, you are part of about 2% of the ENTIRE populace. And the 2% estimation is generous. Psychological researchers have found that people will change who they are at the drop of a hat to be emotionally fulfilled. The core of who we are as people doesn't change. That's biblical. However, our trappings, our likes and loves, our decisions change daily. We change daily. And we are capable of absolutely anything.

Ugh, I am so mad right now. I just remembered that I have to buy some winter wear for my trip. I have just one casual jacket and some sweaters. Last year when I travelled I had a tough time balancing between staying warm and being appropriately dressed. I wanted to buy some winter wear this year but in the city I live in, we don't get any winter wear. The warmest pieces of clothes are cardigans, turtlenecks and sweaters. I can't even find one place that sells coats. This is just great!
Don't you have a natural coat, though? I mean...you're a bear, right? A fabulous bear! :cool:

Just watched an episode of "Hoarders" and feel much better about myself and my cluttery apartment. Finally feel a burst of energy after being sick for two days. Actually am thankful to be doing chores! :)

I like the first one better. Also, I think the acousticy-alternative sounding stuff is "in" right now. If marketing to teens, then I would lose the "what's left of it, anyway" comment about the hair, though. Most teens wouldn't relate to that.

I just got home from a men's wild game dinner at my church. To say it was interesting would be an understatement. Venison meatloaf was deemed the most exotic of courses. The decor for the event was a wall across the front of the church with 20 deer heads on it.

Taco Bell never looked so good.

Hoss, no snails? No frogs? No turtles?

By the way, will there be anybody on singles chat in an hour from now?

Note: I did not want a new iphone, but my old flip phone from 2007 decided to retire itself in the form of 100% dropped calls and no service half the time I need to use it.. plus I've been spending inordinate amounts of time lately in doctors offices (not for me) where there is no wifi available so I figured a smartphone would be a good choice. :cool:

oh yes, and I figured out instagram! much to the chagrin of my online friends.. [evil laugh]

don't worry, i won't be taking anymore selfies for awhile. :p that one was just to test my phone.

An iPhone?! Noooooo.

Actually, I have a tough time defending Android as an alternative, although I really like my HTC One M8 ─ at least its build quality.

I actually thought about what you said when i was trying to decide between it and a samsung. I remember you said the samsung had a bigger screen and was thinner (i think), but the android OS wasn't as nice as the apple's iOS. Hope I got that right. :D Anyway, I already have a samsung tablet so I figured I'd give apple's iOS a try too. :)

Defending Android is easy. Just comment on the lack of cracked and shattered screens walking around in people's pockets. :p

Or ask someone "Would you like to call Apple support with my Samsung phone?" :p

Gosh, I really don't remember that if I said it. As far as size and weight nowadays, the difference really isn't glaring. My big thing with iPhones is the lack of expandable storage, though Android 4.4 has somewhat taken away from that being a selling point.
