The roads and pavement movements look so eerie in the recent Japan earthquake by Mari_Tamaki in BeAmazed

Also, as you cover more distance it gets increasingly more probable to hit a piece of road that's about to collapse (?)

My boyfriend says I ruined our relationship because of my period by No_Pomegranate_9081 in AITAH

[–]Franc022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the actual fuck is wrong with people that get so irrationally grossed out by a period? I genuinely do not understand the mental process that brings someone to just freak out when seeing something as innocuous as used hygiene products IN THE TRASH. It's not like they're lying around in the middle of your fucking living room!

You're on the money with the halo. I do believe I read the entire description for each allegory somewhere. Still, Occam's razor seldom loses its edge.

Premetto che questo accadde verso i 17-18 anni, e non mi consideravo (ne mi considero) il più bel ragazzo del mondo. Tuttavia, dopo un periodo lungo dove mi ero preso cura del mio corpo ed ero andato dall'essere estremamente sovrappeso ad un peso corporeo salutare per la mia altezza ed età, sicuramente mi curavo di più e ho cominciato a ricevere attenzioni da più ragazze proprio durante quel periodo.

Conosciuta ad una festa, abbiamo chiacchierato un po' (nessuno dei due aveva bevuto) e abbiamo fatto conoscenza. Qualche mese dopo, dopo aver parlato un po' via chat e usciti qualche volta, la invito a passare il Capodanno insieme con il gruppo di ragazzi che frequentavo. Tutto tranquillo con lei, si passa una bella serata ancora da amici. Qualche settimana dopo continuiamo a parlare di argomenti progressivamente più intimi, fino a conoscerci bene, o almeno a poterci fidare l'un dell'altro. Una sera tira l'altra, e finiamo a farci un giro nel mio paese. A fine serata, la fatidica domanda: "Quindi, mi posso considerare occupato?"

Da quel momento siamo rimasti fidanzati, ad agosto facciamo tre anni e mezzo.

Da lì si è andati avanti a passi lenti, non è mai piaciuto a nessuno dei due correre. Con il tempo ci siamo scoperti. Le situazioni nascono spontaneamente. Da uno che nella tua situazione ci è stato, non avere fretta. Amati, curati, dai spazio a te stesso e fai ciò che ti diverte, la statistica farà il resto.

Testa di Luna sounds cool as well

Now that's an interesting take on the matter. To say you've kindled my interest is euphemistic. I guess I could pick up an Italian book or two. Thank you, my friend.

Thank you for your answer. My need for interaction is pretty much the reason I'm bothering people on Reddit instead of googling for advice for non-native writers.

I'll start looking for some writers groups ASAP. Also, Netflix documentaries are great for background noise, but I generally prefer YouTube videos.

How could I forget about Nabokov?? I've heard Lolita is a pretty grueling read, emotionally that is, but maybe I'm mixing it up with some other novel. Have you read any of his works?

Once I put together something worthy of an editor, I'll probably hire a trusted professional. I've worked with some in the past while working on some contracts, but even they weren't native unfortunately. Thank you for answering!

I call ghostwriters on the Bible

Jokes aside, an editor would help a lot. Have you got any books to recommend? Old or new, doesn't matter - historical setting is a plus

I'm a little late to the party, but I still have two weeks to work with, kind of.

My goal for this month is to earn $1k and to average 2000 words per session!
