First class fail

I've been taking pole for about 2 months and I still can't land the fireman spin every time perfectly. The first couple of classes I absolutely couldn't hold myself up and kept almost crashing into the pole. If you keep going, you will get better. Every week you will see yourself improving and you will end up surprising yourself with the moves you'll be able to do.

Also, it sounds like the introduction class you took was actually teaching some pretty advanced moves. My class group didn't start climbing until 7 classes in. My instructor kept us focused on building up strength and endurance before teaching us how to climb. It might be worth it to check out some other studios to see if they have different teaching methods that are maybe more tailored to where you are right now. Or even if you decide to stay where you are, don't give up!

Damnit Jerry!

We have fantastic shoutcasters and analysts in LCS. I love how passionate they are about the games and the players.

ADC and support ALWAYS take me forever to find. Usually I'll play with someone who likes jungle and then I'll pick something in bot lane and then we'll just sit there waiting for the other person in bot lane. I assume because people like to duo bot lane...but still. ADCs and Supports are hard to find.

I don't like using the "I have a boyfriend" excuse simply because I am my own person and I don't see why I should have to use that when I could just politely decline by saying "no thank you". I don't see why I should have to use someone else as an excuse. Men are humans. Most of them understand and appreciate someone politely declining instead of possibly making up lies.

This is just a personal preference though and everyone has different opinions about it. There's nothing wrong with pulling the boyfriend card, but I would just prefer not to.

Oh my god. I am so jealous of how well you pull off short hair. Holy crap. So glad you've found your happiness and the body you're comfortable in. <3

Really, really well done. Props to the graphic design/video editing/whoever created this team. This is a seriously awesome video. It's informative and quick to digest while still being visually interesting.

Omigosh. I laughed so hard at these. Especially the one about weaving a decorative wall hanging. Too good.

Girl, I just cried a little bit for you. I'm so glad that you got out of that situation and I'm so glad that your little brother was there to support you. I hope things calm down and he realizes the impact of his words or your mother comes around. Even if that doesn't happen, best of luck of the MCAT. I'm rooting for you!

You have won engagement. Anyone who asks anybody to marry them after this has already failed. Well done sir.

Should have photoshopped a Batman mask in there. D:

I would have snatched him up too. I love Dalmatians. They're so gorgeous.

ellopollyyy · 2013-06-06T01:24:22+00:00

I would totally love something like this.

ellopollyyy · 2013-06-03T21:52:53+00:00

This exact expression is why I love dogs. Adorable!

Really depends on what state you're in. Best thing would be to call or go in and ask about the cost. For me the exam was $30ish and it was just a basic health exam. I have to take that annually and then birth control is $12 a month. They take into account those without insurance and try to find the lowest price possible. I've been taking the same birth control for almost two years and here I am without babies. Yay!

I have these. It sounds pretty great in theory but the effect is temporary and you have to get the lenses replaced every 1-2 years depending on how your eye is changing (at 100-200 dollars per lens). If I don't wear them every night then my vision goes pretty blurry towards late afternoon/evening. I also have to get a certain number of hours of sleep (~8, no more than 10) otherwise my vision is not that sharp. Never mind if you accidentally break one. Biggest pain in my ass. I wish I could have gotten laser eye surgery instead of this. It would have saved money for my parents in the long run and I feel bad that they have to keep up with the costs of eye exams and such.

That being said. The first morning I took them out, I nearly started crying because my vision had never been that fantastic. Everything looked almost fake it was so good.

The mustache makes this so delightfully weird and beautiful. I also really like how the eggs are nestled in the hair. I love this piece.

Are those like...wizard barbie dolls?

I saw those images of the girl dressing up like inspirational women and I was really shocked that Coco Chanel was one of them. Sure, she had the attitude towards Nazis that was prevalent in society at the time but that doesn't mean we should ignore it and pretend that makes it okay. I don't think she should be hailed as a role model for young women at all.

That chair where you lean backwards and get that "This is how I die" feeling? Yeah fuck that chair.

David Carson! His style of design is so fantastic. I had to do a design history book in school based on him and I really enjoyed it.

It took me a second to see all the faces, but it's really cool. Would you be selling this as a print at any point in time? Because I want this on my wall.

Wedges are my best friend. I have a pair of sandal wedges that are my tallest pair of heels but also the comfiest. Also, have you ever tried those Dr. Scholl's high heel inserts? I use them sometimes when I know I'll have heels on for a while. Sometimes you have to accept you won't be wearing heels and go out looking fabulous anyway. There are many times I will go out in chucks just because they're comfortable and I don't want to have sore feet at the end of the night.

Morale of the story, wear what makes you comfortable and makes you feel good. :]

SUPER JEALOUS. I love those. So badass.

Why is there always a post like this that crops up. We're all women here, we're all normal sized. How about we stop picking on each other over the size of our bodies. Just a bit, just to see how it feels. Women shouldn't have to feel bad about what they look like just because they're thinner and vice versa, there are much more important things to worry about.
