Conversation — facebook doppelgänger meme is hard

Michael: Go with Gilda.
me: but i dont look like her
Michael: Sure you do.
me: i am afraid it would be flattering myself
me: i think maybe the last person - who is stanley tucci's sister
Michael: No, Ed also thinks it.
me: no he just thought i acted like her
Michael: No, he thought it, too
Michael: That you looked like her, that is.
Michael: Also, Jamie Gertz is kinda close
me: i dont know
me: gilda and jami both have shorter noses than me
Michael: You have anorexia of the nose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deanna: I would say the top two are gilda and stanley tucci's sister. I kinda went "whoa!" when i saw the last photo, thinking something like "she could be your sister".
But you worship gilda and the caricature of rosanne rosannadanna is enough, so I think that's the winner. or put both!
me: Dark Horse Option! [picture of Kate Bush]
Deanna: YES! Kate Bush for the win. Big eyes, sort of similar through the nose and mouth - plus, awesome.
me: But won't people be all "hah don't kid yourself you tiny gargoyle"
Deanna: Nope, just your mean brain. Everyone else will think "Fo sho, totally". Plus that you have good taste. But everybody thinks that part anyway.
me: Aw thank you for the hand-holding.
me: Sign of the apocalypse: Michael just used the phrase "mad cute." To describe me. Since when am I dating a white rapper?
Deanna: Aw, you and Sweet Dee have something in common! Except Michael's nowhere near retarded of course

“Call to Love” by Crooked Fingers

November 24

“Be careful what you publish on Facebook, even if you have nothing to hide. I was turned down for a job because of my wedding pictures. My husband and I got married at Montreal’s Palais de Justice in the only presence of our two witnesses, then went to eat in Chinatown nearby. We did it for cost and sanity reasons. However, to a potential employer, it demonstrated my “inability to plan a large-scale project, handle challenges and manage stressful situations” — CBC News - Montreal - Depressed woman loses benefits over Facebook photos

“

Were I the perfect child of God
whose faith was deep and love was broad
not doubtful, guilty, worn, or flawed
I’d gladly follow Jesus

But I’m the child of what I’ve been
estranged by much I’ve done and seen
afraid to show the love I mean
unfit to follow Jesus

Yet God, who knows me first and last
who’s seen my best, my worst, my past
has shown his love intense and vast
by meeting me in Jesus

For Christ, though killed at Calvary
by sins like mine and folk like me
has risen, forgiven, and set me free
made fit to follow Jesus

Then sprinkle water on my brow
as in this place, I make my vow
to own and love my Savior now
and give myself to Jesus

God grant me what I still require
that I, in others, might inspire
the hidden hope, the deep desire
to love and follow Jesus

” — John Bell, 2005

“

If you fail to respect what women say, you label yourself a problem.

There’s a man with whom I went out on a single date—afternoon coffee, for one hour by the clock—on July 25th. In the two days after the date, he sent me about fifteen e-mails, scolding me for non-responsiveness. I e-mailed him back, saying, “Look, this is a disproportionate response to a single date. You are making me uncomfortable. Do not contact me again.” It is now October 7th. Does he still e-mail?

Yeah. He does. About every two weeks.

This man scores higher on the threat level scale than Man with the Cockroach Tattoos. (Who, after all, is guilty of nothing more than bad taste.) You see, Mr. E-mail has made it clear that he ignores what I say when he wants something from me. Now, I don’t know if he is an actual rapist, and I sincerely hope he’s not. But he is certainly Schrödinger’s Rapist, and this particular Schrödinger’s Rapist has a probability ratio greater than one in sixty. Because a man who ignores a woman’s NO in a non-sexual setting is more likely to ignore NO in a sexual setting, as well.

So if you speak to a woman who is otherwise occupied, you’re sending a subtle message. It is that your desire to interact trumps her right to be left alone. If you pursue a conversation when she’s tried to cut it off, you send a message. It is that your desire to speak trumps her right to be left alone. And each of those messages indicates that you believe your desires are a legitimate reason to override her rights.
