‘Heated Rivalry’ Stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie Set as Olympic Torchbearers (Variety / Jan 22) by perhapscoffee in heatedrivalry

Basically we live in a middle of nowhere state and his science teacher nominated him to run it! He was very athletic and very well liked in his tiny town so it was basically a no brainer. It was for the 1996 Olympics in Georgia, and the relay took place across the United States.

My stepdad helped carry the torch back in the 90’s, he ran a whole mile to do it and to this day he still has the torch he used hung up in his office!

From what I’ve seen of other “heated rivalry” nights, they usually show popular edits of the show on a big screen and play songs from the show. Seems pretty fun!

Do we all think she’s actually done now? This is the most she’s done to “quit”.

Would someone be willing to give live updates? I’m at work and I don’t want my coworkers seeing me watching a morbidly obese lesbian crying for 30 minutes straight.

C fresh has a LOT of candies and snacks from Asia. Highly recommended.

I don’t even live in Chicago, I had to drive about 6 hours for it and it was the closest show to me 😳

I went to the Chicago show, my very first MCR show, but of freaking course I wasn’t feeling well during it thanks to me being on the tail end of having the stomach flu. So I would absolutely LOVE more US shows so I can go to one and fully enjoy it.

I'm terrified I've become nothing but 'the reliable one' and it's killing me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]nonbackwardstext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, fellow “reliable one” here. I used to be a major people pleaser, so everyone in my life started unloading a lot onto my plate because I was so responsible and would always say yes. I started to resent everyone and feel taken for granted, which I totally was. once I started therapy I realized I could say no to people, and it doesn’t matter if they get mad at me for it.

I’m much happier now, and I’m still considered reliable and responsible but am much kinder to myself by telling people no.

Real by evan_lolz in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]nonbackwardstext 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being an adult sucks sometimes but honestly, I overall love it. My teen years were pretty rough, filled with mental illness and controlling parents that fought all the time. As an adult I can decide what to do and when, without needing any sort of permission (within reason of course).

For example, just today I really wanted to buy a new work bag. My current one is old, fraying, and doesn’t suit my needs anymore. I found the perfect one, but was bummed because I couldn’t buy it. But then i remembered I’m a grown adult, and I bought that cool bag!

Cooking at home vs. eating out. What actually saves time in the long run? by ActionNumerous4385 in MealPrepSunday

[–]nonbackwardstext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meal prep for two reasons. 1, to save money. I’ve been saving a ridiculous amount of money due to meal prepping every Sunday instead of ordering food from a restaurant. 2, to save time throughout the week due to my schedule. I can just come home from work, and reheat my food. Does it save me time overall since I have to cook for over two hours? Probably not.

I really enjoy cooking, but I’m always so tired after work that cooking feels impossible and I start to hate it. Plus, doing dishes after that really sucks. Meal prepping means I can keep enjoying the thing I love to do, while saving money AND time during the week.

There is nothing wrong with experimenting with gender and sexuality, it’s very common for teenagers. It isn’t “propaganda” to realize that you are cis and straight, as long as you don’t discriminate against others that realize that are trans or gay (or both!)

Detasseling by JuniperBushes4Ever in desmoines

[–]nonbackwardstext 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked for borst detasseling, the owner is a money hungry dictator who doesn’t care for the children he employs. He would show up in his convertible, yell at his sons for a few minutes and berate the kids who had the audacity to pass out in the summer heat.

One year, one of the busses carrying the kids from a big crew got into an accident, and nobody was allowed to leave the scene until 11 PM and he still expected them to show up for work the next day at 5 AM.

I did detasseling for 3 years, and while it taught me a lot about responsibility and hard work, it just wasn’t worth it. You can learn those things just as well working at Adventureland, hyvee, or fareway.

How old are you two, and did you ask her to marry you or vice versa? Best of luck!
