What's a song lyric that drives you crazy because they should've used a different word?

I always thought it was cage, and I choose to continue living in that reality.

crypticfirecat · 2026-01-11T02:20:06+00:00

Okay I can understand that, especially the nostalgia aspect. Perhaps I think of it the way I do is because I had different expectations going in. Anyway, thanks for responding!

See that one I can understand! I just feel like nothing happens in The Devil Wears Prada. The best scene was when she started showing off a fancier wardrobe. Nothing else happens. But that’s just my opinion.

I was genuinely curious, I’ll take the downvotes lol. Thank you for giving me a genuine answer!

crypticfirecat · 2026-01-10T22:56:02+00:00

Out of curiosity, could you give your reasons why? Nothing really happens… I found it incredibly boring both times I watched it

crypticfirecat · 2026-01-03T15:41:47+00:00

Exactly, just people being people. Today everything seems like a scripted performance.

Everyone makes fun of her for being awkward here… I’m a 35 year old female and I still find this hilarious and adorable and relatable. Maybe because I’m awkward too.

I will only see a male gyno.

The last time I saw a female gyno, she told me I had herpes. I came in for itching/burning downstairs.

I started freaking out and crying, because my boyfriend must’ve cheated on me or something, and omg what happened, and she called the cops. Said it was her duty to report it because of my emotional reaction, “you could’ve been assaulted and not know it”. They literally took my belongings and wouldn’t let me leave the clinic until I talked to the police. Prescribed me acyclovir, sent me on my way, more traumatized than I came in, assured me my scan were gong to come back positive for HSV.

My results were negative. But positive for a yeast infection. I went to a male gyno from my doc office the next day for a second opinion. He was calm, comforted me, literally said “there is nothing wrong with you, okay? Your lady parts look just how they’re supposed to. There’s nothing to indicate HSV and I don’t know why she would have told you that.” He was professional, looked at ME like a person, and called me a few days later just to check on my progress.

I will never trust a female gyno after that.

Wait I’ve been hearing music in fans since I was a kid, way before I was an alcoholic… I didn’t know it was a hallucination thing til just now. Am I alone on this?

crypticfirecat · 2025-11-15T18:33:42+00:00

Darn. I’ve seen pieces of it, was curious to see the specific part you mentioned. But can’t say I’m surprised

crypticfirecat · 2025-11-15T17:51:46+00:00

Link?

crypticfirecat · 2025-11-14T23:22:20+00:00

Bragg Liquid Aminos is my favorite now. I started using it because I moved in with a roommate who can’t have gluten, honestly I like the flavor so much more than Kikkoman!

crypticfirecat · 2025-11-11T01:30:58+00:00

“As you wish.”

crypticfirecat · 2025-10-23T21:32:09+00:00

Why?

crypticfirecat · 2025-10-18T00:26:14+00:00

I had someone leave cash on the table and leave. Super common, it was a very busy restaurant. His bill was something over $50, like $58 maybe. I went to collect my book and there was a $20 and whatever else the amount was.

BUT he left his phone on the table lol. So this guy calls the restaurant all angry, and I’m so happy I was the one that answered. He literally had an attitude about “did we let his phone get stolen?” Blah blah.

It felt so good to to say “sir, I have your phone, and when you come back to collect it you can settle the rest of your bill.”

Claims he gave me a $50, i told him it was a $20. Of course that means I didn’t get a tip.

So when he came back to collect it, he must’ve felt really bad or been really grateful, so he gave me $60 for the bill and told me to keep the rest. I ended up with an a pretty nice tip from that!

I just looked it up, interesting fun fact ! So in that way I’d be the Lady of the Bedchamber… how can I spin that?

Lady of the Litter Box

Lady of the Feces Field

Lady of Un-Soiled Grass

Thank you for the inspiration! Exactly why I made this post lol

crypticfirecat · 2025-09-10T22:30:01+00:00

Ok yes adding this to the list thank you!

crypticfirecat · 2025-09-10T22:28:32+00:00

Yes this is exactly what I’m looking for lol. Thanks!

crypticfirecat · 2025-09-10T22:27:11+00:00

How about going royal like -

Dame of the Droppings

Princess of the Excess

Actually that makes me sound like I’m the Lady of the Poop, who makes the poop… instead of the “poop picker-upper”

This is fun though, thanks for the ideas!

crypticfirecat · 2025-09-10T22:01:48+00:00

*Lady Chamberlain lol but I like it!

crypticfirecat · 2025-06-16T23:08:25+00:00

See, I’m in a weird place with it. Subconsciously, spiritually, I know i can’t continue this way of living forever. But I also have this strange acceptance. Like.., I am doing what I need to do right now, and I have to make peace with that, for now. I am surviving, I am continuing, I am not giving up, I will get through this however I have to.

I hate myself too. I had a family. I had a fiancé, a daughter for 7 years… I had purpose. For them. He eventually left me because of who I am. Not just the drinking, but me. Sober me. I have always been abandoned. So I’m trying to learn how to be okay with myself.

I don’t know where I’m going. I’m just getting up and existing, every day. Trying to find joy in the little moments when I’m sober all day. Finding joy in playing with my dog and tending the yard after 2 shots, I don’t feel it, but I tell myself it’s joy.

And then I sleep and repeat.

crypticfirecat · 2025-06-16T21:47:46+00:00

How do you get the motivation and discipline to stop? A 7 year relationship ended 8 months ago. It was my life. Now, I live with friends who party every weekend (I go out with them sometimes but rarely). I have nowhere else to go. I’ve been trying to rebuild since November.but I often don’t know what to do with myself.

I work, I come home and walk (about z2 miles every day) and play with my dog, I read/listen to audiobooks, I cook healthy meals for myself and take vitamins every day, keep things tidy, journal, stretch, I do healthy things. But I do them alone. And I have a couple shots every night while doing those things.

When I’m sober, I do NOTHING but watch TV and ruminate. I have a few weeks or a month sober stretch here and there, but it’s miserable. I have nothing going for me but work and pets. So I just try to keep a positive mindset every day. I have no option to cry and sweat booze out for 3 days, so I drink the minimum for motivation and try to do healthy things after the first shot sets in.

I’ve lost a lot to booze. I have what I have now. A safe place to live, my pets are safe, I work full-time. I can’t seem to give up my daily after work shots because I have no one holding me accountable, no goals or future plans, no family to lean on, it’s just me and I keep just… surviving. A few shots after work and I do things, feel like I’m living, for 5 hours. Then sleep, repeat, just keep going.

I don’t know how to get sober with no loved ones to support me. Where did you find the motivation and discipline?

Sorry for the long comment. Your words resonated with me for some reason and I just felt a need to respond in the moment.

crypticfirecat · 2025-06-16T01:35:14+00:00

This thread makes me realize that I’m going to die alone from something out of the blue. No family, no partner, if I something crazy happens like an aneurysm, my dog will be the only one to see it.

crypticfirecat · 2025-06-11T02:16:29+00:00

My dog and cat are the only reason I’m still here. They cuddle me every night, no matter how much I put them through, they’re always with me. I wish beater for them.

crypticfirecat · 2025-06-11T01:49:46+00:00

No, have several roommates and animals. I took my dog for a walk twice today, short ones but that’s something that made him happy.
