Litiquette VI

[The_gladiator]

damn, i wish i could. but i’m only writing verse and it really requires me to be deeply into it and be significantly inspired. i think subconsciously, my emotions are taking a more serious beating than i’m willing to admit.

i expect some sort of breakthrough at some point.

I am lucky in that my writing is pretty much all done with partners, so I can feed off their energy. This really helps me.

I work at home and have for 2 years. Business as usual for me!

Being wrong... it sucks. Sometimes it doesn’t really matter. There are some trivial things that we miss. Then there are some big ones. Let’s hear about those times you’ve moved forward with a belief that just turned out to be dead wrong. Could be major and life changing. Could be nothing of consequence. Tell me your stupid beliefs. And how do these effect your real life, if at all?

I used to think the penis went into the woman’s bellybutton, but last week I found out that I was incorrect.

Well, it can if you want. It's social vaginal distancing.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I used to think the penis went into the woman’s bellybutton, but last week I found out that I was incorrect.

I thought something similar until I was like 10. I knew it wasn't her bellybutton, but I thought it was almost the same thing, just located about 5" lower. I didn't realize it was literally between the legs. I thought I saw that on a movie somewhere and I was convinced that's how sex was done. The penis went in perpendicularly.

I'll spare y'all the stories of the bad relationship decisions I have made and tell you instead of something that still disturbs me to this day.

I'm really good with directions and navigation. I have never used GPS in my life (it's just another way for big brother to track you, people!) but I never get lost.

Well, one time we were visiting Ottawa and I was driving back to the B&B from some adventure we were on. I was 100% convinced I was going the right way and my travel companions said I was going in the opposite direction. It never occurred to me that they were correct, so I pooh-pooh'd their comments and kept going.

I was wrong. I was headed in the complete opposite direction of our destination. I had gotten myself completely turned around and I had to admit I was wrong.

It shook me to my Rand McNally core.

I used to think, circa high school and up to mid 20's, that one political party pretty much had the right of things.

And this is precisely why, if we're going to change the age of suffrage, it should increase.

I also used to really loathe sour cream. Clearly an erroneous position.

 

[aussiegeekygal]

When I was a kid I used to think you needed a string to tie around your waist to keep a condom on. I remember seeing a jockstrap on the side of the road and pointing out to my family "look! It's a condom". They were super gracious about it and saved me the public humiliation, but as a parent, that would be freaking hilarious.

I want to know why big brother is so interested in tracking you...

 

[Trekka]

I’m not sure I understand the question...

I’ve been wrong lots. *shrug* That’s how I learn what’s right.

Historic wrongs that Trekka has believed in:

-Aerosmith is the finest band on earth and Steven Tyler’s gospel is to be taken very seriously
-Hunting is wrong and hunters are assholes
-Overalls, a ballcap, and a backpack are appropriate clothing for international travel
-Jordan Knight is the hottest New Kid, and Donnie Wahlberg the ugliest
-I cannot fish with live bait, eww

 

[Lord Pmann]

Guilty pleasures. We all have them. Some people are embarrassed about them. Some people own them. Maybe it’s shitty music. Maybe it’s awful TV. Or lame ass romance novels with Fabio on the cover. Or anything that refers to a dick as “throbbing manhood” or a vagina as “her sex” or “her flower”.

A guilty pleasure of mine... I love a shitty Lifetime movie. Not to just sit and watch on a Saturday night or whatever. But sometimes to just have playing in the background while I’m doing work? Yes please. They’re so poorly done they just make me laugh.

In the spirit of guilty pleasures, here’s a guilty pleasure song:

George Michael- Careless Whisper

Pffft...

I *am* a guilty pleasure.

So sassy.

 

[hotwords229_A]

I am a sucker for a good Friday the 13th movie. Not that there are any good ones, but still, I can't help myself.

While others discuss the cinema verite movement, or the film's of Fellini or Bertolucci, I'm like, "Hey, did you know that the first four Friday the 13th movies clearly establish that Camp Crystal Lake is in New Jersey?"

Isn’t it? You can visit where they filmed in that state, right?

 

[hotwords229_A]

Blairstown, New Jersey. Only an hour away from where a young Hotwords was born.

 

[The_gladiator]

Very neat.

 

[hotwords229_A]

Romance novels were/are mine ..I could care less about the Fabio on the cover but get me a novel about a wallflower who is seduced by the most notorious rake (who always ends up having a hidden sweet side) in the haute ton of London in the 1800’s and I’m sunk *sighs blissfully*

Haha! Yes, the notorious rake is always a misunderstood, heartfelt puppy dog on the inside. Just like in real life.

That’s why I like Jason—he’s notorious and, if you mess with him, he will stick a rake through your face.

In its own way, it’s much more realistic.

 

[Lonelywife1205]

Guilty pleasures...
-90’s hip hop and r&b and rap music
-any song by Dan+Shay
-boy bands, especially New Edition who I have seen in concert 12 times
-rap snacks, especially the Trina cheese puffs
-Slim jims
-any trashy reality falling in love show, The Bachelor and it’s offspring, Love is Blind etc.
-ANY show about a sister wife and I’m all in...obsessed! Seeking Sister Wife is a favorite.

 

[LurkingPhoenix]

Bad horror/slasher movies are one of mine.

Old school caramel cream candies...the type with the melty-sugar filling in them.

So-bad-they're-good old game shows on cable. Like from the 70s. The outfits and hair make me giggle.

Angsty hard rock from the late 90s-early 2000s.

 

[StacyLeigh]

Guilty pleasures:
- conspiracy theory documentaries
- Real Housewives of _________ (I'm probably most embarrassed of this trash)
- cheesy action movies (I love Die Hard)
- Top Gear (BBC version)
- chocolate cereals
- reading unrealistic (and really truly awful) novels
- workday venting (I would be fired if my CEO could see my work skype chats)

 

[blade_rocknut]

I love watching movies to which I know ALL the dialogue.

My wife would be happy to never again see

The Big Lebowski

O Brother, Where Art Thou

True Grit ( Coen Bros/ Jeff Bridges version)

Smokey and the Bandit

Full Metal Jacket

And a few more. She tolerates Tombstone, because we saw in in theaters a couple times when it first came out, so it's a throwback to high school sweetheart-ness.

Besides that?

Shoes. I'm a shoe whore. Like y'all don't even know.

[aussiegeekygal]

Romance novels are such easy reads. I don't give a shit about the sex scenes, but the feel good endings are what I need sometimes.

I'm also a sucker for chick flicks for the same reason.

I hate to admit it but I'd never seen this movie until this year.
