those coffee place take-aways. He sat with it so proudly as the steam was coming away from it and starting to look round at everyone on the bus and smiling. Why did he do this? He sat with it in such a way that he wanted his mug from home to be noticed or something? Was he looking for some kind of reaction?

Since i was 5 or 6 years old if i'm not mistaken,i have a sudden interest in either watching tv that shows dramas or movies that has a hero performing CPR on the heroine to revive her back to life either due to drowning,asphixiation,heart attack,etc. until now.I also loves to read medical books with CPR illustrations(female as the victim) when i go to the library.Sometimes i did mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions on my wife for fun.My wife does admit that i'm kinda weird for choosing this as a fetish but later on she does'nt mind at all.She said she love it to since she get used to it for quite a long time.I do worry if i might broke her ribs or even interupt her normal heart rythm while doing chest compressions on her but so far she's ok.Seriously i love her so much and really don't want her to get hurt just because of my weird fetish.Is this something normal for a men to have such a fetish?If it's normal/not normal,can you guys tell me what's the logic for such?

I only want the serious fears....mine for example is basically getting kidnapped, then assaulted and murdered like all of those women on tv. an interesting worst fear, but that's it, i mean, most people pick stuff like roaches. i'm not sure if this means my boggart would be a dead and mutilated me or what....i suppose being a failure and being all alone would be my next top fears...

I definitely get scare. i sometimes get so paranoid that i've actually walked around a corner with my cell phone predial 9-1 just waiting to see if i need to hit the other 1. also, i have this heavy cop flashlight, and i always pick it up and place it next to me. does anyone else get that paranoid about stuff? sometimes i won't even need to hear scary noises, but it'll just hit me that i'm all alone....especially if i'm watching law and orderp; u'd be surprised how watching a cop show freaks you out...does it do that to you?

not braggingly but I have a nice body, 6 pack, muscular pecks (not too much but a good amount), very fell defined shoulders and upper arms like bicep and triceps. When I have regular clothes on, people couldn’t notice, but if I were to take my shirt off, ladies would be pleased (at least in this culture). This is how I wanted it because I didn't want to look like one of those body builder type. . .. . ... .

Anyways, If I were to get married to a very simple girl from the third world. One who prob doesn't or hasn't ever watched TV, and isn't tied up in American media and culture, Would she be attracted to my body type? or would she overlook it?. .. ..... ... .... ...

What do you ladies think? is the craving for this type of body natural or culture fed? If you were in this girls situation, would you dig it?

They show up every social event to the protest, crack the doors, break the walls, beat or hit people or police, and many of them are homeless, young, stronger than you and me, and not working, or not willing to work........ why do they enjoy damaging the public assets?

I am not talking about those who really need to protest and take it as a last source, and not those who protest without being violent.

Sometimes I feel really depressed and cut myself but I am trying to stop so I heard that if you wear a rubber band and snap it on ur wrist when you feel the urge to cut it will relieve it. So I tried it but my wrist just got really red and swollen during class. I was getting something and I saw my wrista nd whispered to myself "...omg its really swollen" and my teacher heard me and asked in front of the whole class "Why what happened to your arm?" and I was like "Oh...nothing" and started to walk away but then she said "Let Me See Your ARM!" and so I held up my arms purposely not revealing the part that was red, but she knew I was mostly only showing my right arm and said "No the other one..." and I just looked at her and walked away.....

i didnt mean to be disrespectful but she sud hav asked me in private...i was freaked out

Or anything else for that matter.

I'm tired of my generations stupid habit of labeling. In High School you had to have some stupid tag or you didn't make sense, "why are you wearing that hippie skirt?", "Oh my god, your pants are so punk!', "What are you trying to be, preppy?"

Seriously, shut up. Especially you driveling so-called Emo's. What exactly is your philosophy?

Hate the parents who provide for me, be mind-numbingly self-involved and wear dark clothing that embodies the pain I feel inside?

Give me a freaking break.

Look, get over youselves. Forgive and forget, and go get minds of your own. Your parents may have done you wrong, but we're all humans in the end, blah blah blah.

Just, please. Your all stupidly fullfilling the expectations of all them big corporate execs that make billions of of your stupid labeling and desperation for the same-ness thing. Hot Topic is owned by the Gap people, it's the same as Abercrombie and whatever, you go there to look the same.

Why?

There was a special on CNN last night about how scientists are studying happy people with some suprising results. I'm a happy person, I'm a realist optimist, and I'm content with my life. There are somethings missing, but if I never receive those things I would still say my life was completely happy. If I died tomorrw it would be with no regrets or sadness. So I wonder are you happy?

When you were a kid, how'd you think you'de end up?

When you were a teen, who was the person you wanted to be?

Did you turn out this way?
Are you happy with yourself?

Do you think we fullfull our expectations?

Or do we personify mediocrity in our scociety, are we slaves to the cycle?
Wake, eat, work, eat, eat, work, sleep, rinse, wash, repeat.

Are you everything you wanted to be---anything you wanted to be?

And if your not there yet, if you're still in the figuring out part...do you think you'll make it? Do you think you'll be--more?

Or are you destined for the mediocre life, the system, the cycle.
Maybe the cubicle, or the couple who haven't really spoken in years, though they move their mouths at each other.

Is there any passion left in us?

What about the new generation? Is there anything but media-drivel left in them (us, since I am one). Do we have anything to aspire to other than some morons opinion on MTV? Where are our dreams?

Are you the person you wanted to be?

I'm the only child and I'm mainly home alone. So I fantasize about the future and I just day dream and just imagine what would happen if I started dating this person or that person. Also right before I start dating a guy I always start to think about them. When I was living with my aunt and uncle I really never had time for it... n when I'm iwth my friends I don't have time for it. I've been doing this since I was a little girl...but I'm really too old for this. I really want to stop but it's become a habit. So does anybody have any suggestions???

*NOTE: This is freaky.....you have got to try it!*

At the end of this message, you are asked a question.

Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it.


Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.


This is a fun "test"... AND kind of spooky at the same time! Give it a try,
then e-mail it around (including back to me) and you'll see how many people
you know fall into the same percentage as you. Be sure to put in the subject
line if you are among the 98% or the 2%. You'll understand what that means
after you finish taking the test".


Now... just follow the instructions as quickly as possible.



Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous
one..



You do not ever need to write or remember the answers, just do it using your
mind.


You'll be surprised.



Start:


How much is:


15 + 6

























3 + 56



























89 + 2

























12 + 53





































75 + 26



































25 + 52





























63 + 32

































I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over..


Come on, one more!




























123 + 5























































QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOR AND A TOOL!

My dreams are usual very detailed, vivid and realistic. Like, sometimes, I'll dream up a whole conversation with a friend or colleague, complete with jokes, questions and emotional reactions. There have been a few times when I've dreamt about doing something or talking to someone and it seemed so much like a real memory that I didn't realize it was just a dream until I find out that the action or conversation never took place, either by talking to the person or seeing that I didn't do what I think I did. It was weird and made me think there may be something wrong with me because I also have insomnia sometimes. Anyone else out there ever had their dreams get mixed up with their actual memories?
