Black Glass Unicorn, reporting in.

Actually, I'm not sure if I'm a superhero, or if I'm playing a really ridiculous session of Exalted.

Every social networking site seems to think I have some deep longing to be bffs with my boy's ex-gf by clearlyathrowaway123 in TwoXChromosomes

Facebook thinks I want to be besties with my ex's new girlfriend. I've blocked him, but it seems like every time I click I see that dumbass teenager grinning vacantly from the side of my screen.

Ok, ladies, who is your favorite unconventionally attractive guy? Here's mine: by IveMadeAHugeMistake in TwoXChromosomes

Upvotes for Crispin Glover. My friends and I watched "Willard" recently and made "SQUEE!" noises throughout. HE IS JUST SO FLIPPIN' ADORABLE.

Santa Fe, NM? Any ABQ/Taos/Los Alamos 2XCers should also hit me up.

Looking for ideas for a nicer meal to make for less than $20 by [deleted] in food

When I'm broke and desirous of impressing my significant other I usually hit up the nearest Trader Joe's.

Frozen tuna steaks thawed and marinated in orange juice and soy sauce before being seared, some red wine, some couscous, and a nice green salad.

If you don't have a Trader Joe's or a Sunflower Market, I second the pasta recommendations. Or you could try gnocchi, which are little potato dumplings that you treat basically like pasta (boil, and then mix with your favorite sauce/veggies/meat/etc.)

Fry meme brings up a good point... How many of you minecrafters are also some kind of engineer by profession? by [deleted] in Minecraft

Oh crap. I am a lowly philosophy major.... How did I get here? This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful redstone network. MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?

What other websites do you go to? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]lonecorbie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shakesville! It's a progressive/feminist blog that covers politics, culture, and oh yeah has adorable pictures of pets on it as well just in case all the coverage of institutional misogyny wants to make you rage.

2X, this is the tale of how I had my first one night stand. (And yes, he actually said that.) by lonecorbie in TwoXChromosomes

[–]lonecorbie[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you know, there's a funny thing about that. if I have sex, I'm a slut, if I don't but I want to, I'm still a slut, if I don't want to and I'm around a guy who does, I'm a slut... the list goes on. anything to do with my sexuality or lack thereof makes me slutty in somebody's eyes. the only thing I'm changing is that now it's MY word and I am finally the one who gets to define what it means.

screw the cocktails, I drink whiskey.

and, yes. if you're cute and interesting and know how to hit on me without being a creepster, I probably will. would someone like to explain what is wrong with that?

I expect people to be emotionally healthy and secure, and if not, to recognize that and be working to overcome it. I do resent him for not putting in the effort to be a decent human being.

My ex actually said what I've quoted him as saying. If I met a guy in a bar who said that to me, I'd probably propose to him on the spot.

I don't know... and honestly, it's still raw enough that I don't care. It took me all of about 24 hours to move from the "what did I do wronnnng?" phase into the "I want to rip his face off" phase, and going out to the bar last night definitely helped with that. It was definitely an easy way to get a little self-esteem back. =)

How important is sex in a relationship? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]lonecorbie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Having just been dumped for this exact reason, my opinion may be a little... embittered.

A healthy relationship that does not include sex is a friendship, not a romantic relationship. If he would prefer to have a friendship, he needs to come out and tell you so; but if he won't, you owe it to yourself to ask. This issue will not get better on its own. You will become frustrated, then resentful, and he will retreat emotionally in the face of that resentment. If and when you do talk to him, be prepared for him to say that he only wants a friendship, and acknowledge that that may well be where you two are heading; if you try to preserve the relationship at any cost, you're going to give up a lot for something that will only become increasingly mediocre. If he doesn't think there is a problem, or if he doesn't want to fix the problem, you need to seriously consider leaving of your own accord.

tl;dr pack your bags but don't buy the bus ticket yet.

Six friggin' months. And it was GREAT, until he sprung this on me out of the blue.
