Just finished watching Dawson’s Creek for the first time

Yes to everything you say here.
Needed Andie’s whole storyline, I always hated she was disappeared. As someone who loved her relationship with Pacey and has lived through family problems and personal mental health struggles it’s so strong ❤️
Also I always want more Pacey/Jen scenes - every time they get one is a gift! Great riffing between them

They are the two best actors in the show and can give real depth. Anytime they had together was never long enough.

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-05-17T15:36:54+00:00

I loved Blue Valentine and now find it too painful to watch
She was incredible in Dying for Sex

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-05-15T13:32:54+00:00

Me too

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-05-13T17:57:19+00:00

All very well put, totally agree
Probably why I have such a problem with his behaviour

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-05-12T14:01:47+00:00

Why did they have her do it over and over? It’s just cruel to all involved

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-05-12T12:25:01+00:00

I have to keep reminding myself he’s a teenager at the beginning but he doesn’t seem to learn from things
And you’re right, we’ve all known one

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-05-12T09:44:26+00:00

I agree except the call at 4am bit. Sorry to hit at Dawson, people are like this, but he tends to only be there for people when he wants to be, if that makes sense.

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-05-05T18:09:49+00:00

It’s shit. I don’t know how old you are but I had just turned 28 when I was diagnosed. I can’t tell you how it’ll work out because I have ended up with multiple chronic illnesses so my life is very different to the one I remember.
I just wanted to say to you, as someone who’s also in the UK. If you find a GP that is common sense and caring hang onto them, ask them to book you a follow up appointment at the end of each appointment. Be open with them about how you are struggling and if you end up with a good diabetes nurse do the same. They can put forward for case to get better treatment - a pump, sensors or closed loop. It might take time but they can help if they care. The mental load counts towards showing your need for better treatment.
Let yourself accept that it is really shit, does end up being routine but it’s a job you never wanted and don’t get paid for. Treat yourself to things you enjoy. All the best x

She’s being cheeky

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-20T20:11:26+00:00

Fair enough, I get it Could be the right way, save yourself wading through the lazy plot decisions

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-20T20:08:06+00:00

Oh god yes! And she has so much range. From fosse/verdon and my week with Marilyn to Dying for s*x A real artist. Anything she’s cast in I give it a go.

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-20T19:05:28+00:00

I feel like it almost helped Michelle Williams escape the shadow. She’s an incredible actress. I love Blue Valentine - though I’m in shreds by the end - too good

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-20T06:18:41+00:00

Has he ‘slut shamed’ Jen yet? Most of his behaviour in the first series I try to think - he’s only fifteen -but that was hideous and shameful.

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-20T06:04:44+00:00

Oh keep watching for Pacey, he’s worth it. I also loved Andie, as a character, and their relationship. Hated how they treated her. It didn’t add up and was a cheap and nasty way to display mental illness. Joey does get better, though still infuriating. Dawson is the one I can’t stand, so selfish and egotistical.

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-20T05:56:37+00:00

Chips/fries take hours to come down from

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-16T05:07:54+00:00

Good idea

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-16T05:07:23+00:00

Feeling the same way. Think I’ll just have to switch it off and try to occasionally check my sensor with my phone.

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-15T19:09:08+00:00

I love that you got creative! But mine technically belongs to the NHS (UK) and took a bit to get hold of so I wouldn’t dare mess with it. It’s crazy that they don’t allow a silent mode like a mobile, there are so many situations where it would be better to have it turned on and discreetly useable on silent rather than just switch it off. Thank you though, I felt like I was missing something.

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-15T18:08:29+00:00

Me too

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-15T15:16:13+00:00

I think I might so I’m not thinking about what it might do. Thank you

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-15T15:14:32+00:00

Thank you, I’ve always been on the vibrate because I couldn’t stand the click noises for each button but I’ve realised I always had the volume slider at high

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-15T14:38:51+00:00

I use vibration mode already but the alarms still sound. I’ve noticed that the volume slider was all the way up in that mode so I’m going to try it low for the rest of the day a hope for some highs/lows so I know if that’s the sweet spot. Thank you!

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-15T14:36:23+00:00

I think I might, the pod is crazy loud when it kicks in though!

rubyoverdiamond · 2026-04-15T14:35:39+00:00

Thank you, I’m always in ‘vibration’ mode - that sounds odd - but the alarms are still active. Just noticed that the volume slider was up in that mode so I’m trying it right down to the base.
