Every damn time. I just want to watch some guys drive around and blow things up.
But no.... I gotta watch people actually have relationships. Some guy or girl gets involved with another person that doesn't know they exist. And then suddenly they have an awkward phase but they both understand that it was nobodies fault/ everybodies fault/ an outside force was at fault. So now one of them has to step up and take charge. But, wait for it......... It's the other one that actually conquers the enemy and in the end they are both happy in this ridiculous relationship.
Meanwhile, my SO slept through the reveal and thinks that the one that took charge actually was the hero. And I'm not allowed to spoil it with the truth because we have to watch it again.
Grrrrrrr.
... I’m a woman, but I actually do know where you’re coming from! Not that my BF is watching those ridiculous movies, but I know because I hate those lovey dovey relationship movies! I cannot stand romantic comedies either! Ugh! I’ll watch things being blown up, car chases, war movies, etc. My favorite types of movies are the thriller, suspenseful type and I also love scary movies. Not the slasher type, but the truly creepy, hairs stand up on the back of your neck movies! If it’s gonna be a real issue to her of you not wanting to watch her type of movie, then take turns. I’d say that’s fair enough ... just don’t fall asleep while watching a movie when it’s your turn! You’d probably never hear the end of it!!! Good luck!!’
Your girl falling asleep on you is probably one of the most adorable things. If she does that, I'm grabbing the blanket off the back of the couch, bundling her up and letting her sleep.
See smitty.....your comment like this that makes me have a crush on you, (hello again, waving hand while doing a goofy like chuckles). Yes, let her sleep, that means she's comfortable around you, and since sleeping is one of many moments when we are vulnerable, that also means she trust you.
Umm... calm down guys.
I'm sure admitting a crush, especially to the crush must be scary. Even with guest tier anonymity here on FS.
Guest, thank you. I'm hugely flattered. I have somehow managed to capture your attention with just my thoughts on a page...
TBH, I don't know how to react.
Found out last night that the comment limit for guess is not a myth. Had to wait half a day to reply this. Noooooooo.....don't ship!! do not ship!! with my dumb luck and clumsy ass, I'd probably sink it before it sails. I'm sooo sorry smitty, if I knew in advance there would be shipping, I wouldn't have said anything. Aaand... you have react, in kind, I'm the guess from your post about handling the worst from someone, and I thank you for that. As for making an acc, been lurking here since 2014, but just got the nerve to comment, a week ago maybe?? Starting something, even as little as making an acc on a fun website, is not easy for me. sooo give me time please..
It's ok, don't worry about it. If I was worried about "shipping," I'd have let it slide on by without comment, like another ship in the night.
Don't worry about the account either. Want one? Make one. Just don't do it because you feel pressured to, do it for the lols.
If it's any consolation FunSubstance has a far higher degree of anonymity than other social platforms do.
And as far as sinking ships before they sail goes, click on my name and review my archive of the stuff I've posted. That aught to be enough to send you screaming for the hills. :p
There will be time for giddy happiness later, just give her time to figure it out. She's a long time lurker who might be about to make a HUGE step. For some, that's really hard.
rosalinas, stop it, pleasee, you're making me blush, and I don't do well blushing, everything itches
flyingoctopus, I am NOT a stalker let alone a creepy one, I'm a lurker, maybe a weird one but not creepy, I think... But I can be your stalker for a price of... a box of twinkies, non negotiable
smitty, question, about the degree of anonymity, are you sure?? cause that's the only reason I don't have an acc from anywhere, except email acc, don't have facebook or twitter cause I'm too scared a certain someone might find me. Or maybe I'm just too stupid to figure out how "internet" works
Well Ms. Guest, yes. I am confident that the anonymity that is present here on FS is far greater than most other platforms. After a fashion it was the main reason that I decided that it would be ok for me to sign up.
While we may have (had) differing motivation for privacy, I'm sure they were no less "strict." I'd be happy to tell you about them at another time.
FS really doesn't ask you more than an email and to create a user name and password.
You can use Facebook to sign up and to connect it to this account, but you DON'T have to. I don't have a FB either, so it wasn't an issue.
You can share selfies, but you don't have to. There's also a FS app, but you don't need it either, FS works fine on mobile. The only "intrusion" you might see is Google AdSense might be able to get a hold of the themes of some of the posts and target ads to you based on that, but I'm not sure if it's true.
This is more noticeable if you look up stuff you see here for confirmation.
...
If anything, its amusing to see what AdSense thinks I'm interested in.
"Stupid" isn't a word I would use, even if it's grammatically correct. If you don't know, you don't know.
I can say this however, establishing an internet residence here as FS has bolstered my confidence which saw me encouraged to broaden the spectrum of where my voice is heard. Since joining here, I've also joined Twitter and Instagram and found them to be fun. Maybe slightly less private, but a barrel of laughs nonetheless.
It really boils down to how much you share, especially here.
And as much as I don't want to encourage her, Rosie is right. Blushing and flustered is cute. :) Maybe you could use a variation on that for your screen name, like: blushing_lurker.
We all seem to be pretty cool here. Even the jerks like me have our moments.
My dear sweet charming persistent Rosie, while blushing looks cute on you, on me.... I look like a cooked lobster
Thank you sooo much smitty for giving me your time in explaining and answering my question. If I had asked my siblings or friends, they'd probably looks at me like I'm an entity from another planet.
Aaaaand for someone who takes 2hrs to decide which 1 clothes to buy, thank you for the easy way out on choosing a user name. I'll take it and will use it with care
Oh and smitty, a "jerk", would never have taken their time and effort in anything for a stranger. Just saying... :)
Holy smokes! Welcome to FS!
If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask here, in any other thread or the chat.
(I don't go in the chat hardly ever, so I don't know much about it.)
Now, as a guest, you might have had posts/threads bookmarked to follow. Now that you're signed up, it's much easier. Look at the top right of the page, you'll see a box with a number in it. If it's red, there's replies on posts that you've commented on, manually followed without commenting or some one has @ mentioned you to draw your attention to it.
(I'm also a little bit stunned that you decided to use my suggestion. I'm tickled!)
@smitty (like that?) like I said before... starting something, deciding something, anything something, is not easy for me. My other option, which I have thought of since my first comment ever, are jeeperskreepers, miss marple, hesaidshesaid and a few other weird names which I'm not gonna tell. Yours is better
Yup, that's right with the @. Now, if they are already in the thread, just replying will always them to the reply. If that weren't already in it, they get an "someone mentioned you" alert.
Also helpful if someone has "abandoned" the thread by unfollowing it.
It's also useful when a thread gets busy and we are essentially "shouting over each other." It's a way of saying, "you, I'm saying this to you."
Oh, no. I'm sorry. I misunderstood. Mrs Marlow is an Agatha Christie character. If you look at it quickly, it does look like Maple.
And New England is the North East US.
Are you kidding me? It's childish, idiotic, basically me in a nutshell :). It's miss MARPLE, and yes its a character for Agatha Christie novel, I'm surprise you know that. It was either that or IamPoirot. God I'm such a nerd
Always be Ms Marple. Never Poirot. Perry Mason only lasted 5 seasons. Angela Landsbury kept J B Fletcher alive for 8 .
Edit. I just made all that up. But I'm pretty sure Murder She Wrote had more episodes than Perry Mason. Granted Burr was also Ironside. Different dynamic. I wouldn't add T J Hooker to anything related to Star Trek.
Heyya @blushing_lurker.......
Put me on ignore. That's what all the cool kids do.
-smitty. Forgot to thank you for welcoming me, sooo Thank Youuu
-flyingoctopus. Thank You, took me a long time to be here, gonna stay as long as I can. Wanted to comment on your selfie post, but didn't want you to think I was stalking you for free.
-this_isntme. But. I'm. Not. Cool..... heck I'm not even a kid. Sooo not a chance. Besides, you haven't done anything to me that makes me want to ignore you.
Never seen Perry Mason series, and the image of Captain Kirk makes it hard for me to take Mr. Shatner as T J Hooker seriously. As for Murder She Wrote, it was one of my fav series as a kid, though we only had few episode aired here, I was hooked.
Can't wait for the new Murder On The Orient Express, hope they do the book justice. Kinda bumb they cast Mr. Branagh as Poirot, the image I have of Poirot doesn't even resembles Mr. Branagh, there goes my childhood fantasies
Cool? Not cool? What evs. It's subjective.
We're all cool here, just in different ways.
Some here are more socially adept and aware, some are scientifically litterate, some are tech savvy... others haven't had the opportunity to shine yet.
We are all nerds, geeks, dorks and cool.
And now that you're here, I think we better run. I hear a boat horn and it's about to set sail.
@smitty, Giggled like a 5yr old for about 2min after reading your last paragraph, until I took a sip of my coffee then realize oh!! I think I understood it wrong. Unknowingly (and thanks to my tired brain), you gave me whirlwind of emotion, thank you for that. A well needed feeling after a long day :)
You almost choke me to death with that, thanks a lot grrrrr. No no no no... no... no. no... never read the book or ever will read the book and don't ever wanna experience the book. It's an abomination and a slap on the face to every decent talented author.
See!! (saying in a high pitch voice).... I don't even understand what you're saying right now, what shippers??!!! The only ship that was ever mention was by rosie, and then when you say boat, I thought you meant THAT and then I realize, oooh maybe he meant real ship that transports idiots. Sigh.... I should've just deleted the whole thing instead of editing it. And the 50 shades thing, I already said my peace about that book, and it was @flyingoctopus that mentions it. So... he started it!!
Ship and Shipping is, well... short for relationship.
A ship is when two people are in a relationship. To ship two people is to envision them being in a relationship together. Often mostly for amusement because it's sweet and silly. Sometimes becasue they think it's ment to be.
With ships, there's boats. I've joked here on the site with HHHWWWOOONNNKK! Meant to be a boat's fog horn. I'm pretty sure I've never done it with members though.
@smitty I know what ship/shipping meant. Sometimes when I'm too tired and sleep deprived, my brain stop working properly, Sooo.. I guess I was right to giggle then. Shippers huh?? Could we just ditch them and go for a joyride instead, less motion sickness, preferably one with scenic route with old ruins and waterfalls :)
Ooh I really hope rosie doesn't see this, (whispers) she's everywhere... I don't think she sleeps
@flyingoctopus You think this is fffffunny ffffly???? The price to be your stalker has now rise to 10 boxes of twinkies, how about that!!!
@flyingoctopus Why rip?? we can use a ship shape car, and "sail" on the road, or does it have to be ship/shipping. If it does, than I change my mind, ditch the joyride, board the ship. I'm confuse. New at this kinda thing. Still need guidance
Nono no, don't feel sad, I just felt bad because I realised that I my have come off as condescending.
As far as playing along goes, I have no idea.To my knowledge, I've never been shipped with some one before. As far as I know, we aren't supposed to really do anything. We just be cool to each other and be friends... the shipping is for others to go all **squee** and flip out over.
Unless we really want to wind them up and do/say things to mess with them for fun. That can come later.
I can help!
Wherever i go, I'm shipped (that's why they say Ross is everyone's type ;))
Just stay friendly, make silly jokes, occasionally tag each other on fs cheesy posts
@rosalinas thanks for the tip :)
@smitty I have never felt that you come off as condescending. Not once. And I'm sorry if I make you feel that way. This fun games are new to me. It's a good feeling bubble, that I don't want to burst.
@flyingoctopus but I don't have an emotional attachment, to him or anybody here. I know...I know..., that contradicts the fact that I have a crush on him, but only for his thoughts. Actually.... I think I do have an emotional attachment... to funsubstance. After a long and sometimes shitty day, it's my go to place to unwind. A pick me up when I'm down, place.
noooooo I doooooooon't!!! Hahahaha.... you're funny. You always able to make me laugh with your teasing comment, I bet you're fun in person, and annoying as hell (smiley face)
This one is to smitty .., I think that’s so absolutely sweet of you to want to cover up your woman if she falls asleep on you! That shows that you care for her very much ... and I think her falling asleep on you, doesn’t just mean that she’s tired, but she feels loved and safe!!!
But no.... I gotta watch people actually have relationships. Some guy or girl gets involved with another person that doesn't know they exist. And then suddenly they have an awkward phase but they both understand that it was nobodies fault/ everybodies fault/ an outside force was at fault. So now one of them has to step up and take charge.

Zzzzzzzz
Oh
Make an account so we can start shipping, guest
I'm sure admitting a crush, especially to the crush must be scary. Even with guest tier anonymity here on FS.
Guest, thank you. I'm hugely flattered. I have somehow managed to capture your attention with just my thoughts on a page...
TBH, I don't know how to react.
So adorable xD

Which makes me wanna make you blush even more!!!

And New England is the North East US.
When will you have new planet earth? You weird American
(If this were an irl meet up, I'd reasuringly pat you on the back.)
I did however double check that first though. I thought it was, but I wasn't sure.
Edit. I just made all that up. But I'm pretty sure Murder She Wrote had more episodes than Perry Mason. Granted Burr was also Ironside. Different dynamic. I wouldn't add T J Hooker to anything related to Star Trek.

I won't agree because that's just throwing gas on a fire.
I won't disagree either because that just feels mean to say.
I'll just leave you guys twisting in the wind and guessing.
Also we have kid :D
Cabbage is cute but not our child
...
I grow a pineapple plant and we adopted it as our daughter
And yes, I'm this crazy
I could write something using that as title
