Omg some measuring people are crazy!!

The first time I got measured @ Victoria's Secret the lady did this weird thing and was like 34a... well we knew that wasn't ride becuase I wasn't even 32 inches around! So then we went to Strawbridges and got measured again and then they told us 32c and I about fainted! But Victoria's Secrets have the cutest bras but only a couple come in my size!

Oh I love Victoria's Secret! My favorite measurer is French, so it is especially fun! Updated On: 1/18/05 at 09:03 PM

Hey everyone. Sorry to interrupt the boob conversation (so disapointed I appear to have missed the height of the conversation haha) ::yawn:: I feel better now. Sorry for my spaz-out earlier.

(chirping brightly) Hello Glory! How are you on this fine Tuesday? Not thinking about boobs, I hope? I'm not. I don't focus on such trivial things. Nope.

Please, don't make me want to virtually smack you. Yea I'm doing better, but not all sunshine and daisies...

'Not thinking about boobs, I hope?'

Heh. Heheh. Of course not... ::hides picture of girl opposite me in 'elaborate lives' in costume::

'I'm not. I don't focus on such trivial things. Nope. '

Right.

Glory, I hope you recognized that fakey sarcasm. I'm never sincerely chirpy in real life.

Ok, I say this with all the love in my bitter bitch's heart.

GET. A. GRIP. PLEASE, you're not doing yourself any favors here. We've let you angst because this IS a big deal, but now that you've figured you out, you need to learn to accept and chill about it. If I need to help, I'm happy to, but I want you to calm down. Make that list I told you about, the very worst (REALISTICALLY) that could happen and write down how you would deal with it.

...but...but...but...

I didn't do/say anything this time...

*has already 'chilled'*

Can't say I've gotten a grip yet, but I'm working on it.

Don't worry about it. I've used up enough bandwith being all whiney/complain-y, and plan on stopping. Thanks for the huge dose of reality that I very much needed...

Don't give me that, you're wound tighter than Catherine Zeta-Jones' hot ass. We are making this list. Right now.

1. What is the very worst thing that could happen if your parents found out?
2. How could this happen?

We'll start like this.

1. Well, considering my dad would have hit me this morning because I said I wasn't going to track practice had my mom/sister not been nearby, the possibility of it getting violent has sort of become more likely. He hates the fact that I'm into performing even though he's never actually seen me perform, the only reason for that being that 'broadway people are all a bunch of ****ing homosexuals', and judging from what my brother went through if they find out before I'm in college then I will be thrown out and they won't pay for my college tuition.

I have absolutely no idea what my mother would think of that. I think shes more texas-brainwashed and afraid of what she doesn't understand than truly against the idea, but I dunno.

not exactly sure what you are asking with the 2nd question

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/18/05 at 11:08pm

1. Did they physically threaten your brother? Did they pay for his college? I think you might be exaggerating a bit.

2. What I meant was 'how could they find out that you're bi?'

Once we get these things worked out, we can figure out how you can handle it. And curling up in fetal position is NOT an option.

I dunno about that, Som. I can see very religious people getting violent over something like this.

[broadway_star_tomorrow]

Posted: 1/18/05 at 11:10pm

or anyone who is PRONE to violence.

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/18/05 at 11:11pm

It's possible, Tiff, but I'm also thinking we ought to base this on past cases. If his brother got away unscathed, it's more likely that Kyle would be alright too.

I'm not trying to insult you, I just think that you're too panicky to give us a clear picture of what's really likely right now.

[Type_A_Tiff]

I should rephrase. I don't mean religious people are violent zealots. I just mean that of there are those fundamentalists who truly believe that homosexuality is a sin and use it as an excuse to justify abuse (physical, verbal, emotional, etc.).

'1. Did they physically threaten your brother? Did they pay for his college? I think you might be exaggerating a bit.'

I'm serious. That is probably the most rational/honest thing I've posted on the matter in a while.

And I wouldn't know if my brother was threatened or not. I'd have to ask him. But I do know that they were very stingy with the money for him, majorly limiting where he could go and putting a huge dent in his bank account. Luckily, he was a good enough dancer to get plenty of scholarships.

not to threadjack, but hi tiff! how are you?

and now to return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/18/05 at 11:17pm

Alright then. I feel like I don't know enough about your parents to judge because I don't know anything about them except what you have told me in Angst mode, and that's a cloudy image. Since this is worst-case, let's assume they might get a bit violent or threaten to.

Hi Bizt! I'm alright! I just got home--we're having a few days of rain storm over here so a regularly 30 minute drive took 1hr and 25 minutes. Argh. You know I'm not a religion hater, right? (I just re-read my original post and cringed.) I mean, y'know I don't like them Jews who audition for British comedic plays and try to take up all the spots in grad programs across the country, but aside from them, religion's aight!

[broadway_star_tomorrow]

especially the jews who audition for the british farces that apparently CANCEL callbacks.

sign on to AIM and i'll give you the details.

Don't worry about it, actually what you said describes my dad perfectly. He's a priest. In Texas. I mean what more could I expect?

As someone who would consider herself spiritual- I hate that word, sounds so phony, but 'religous' reminds me of the zealots and I'm not hugely into churchyness- I'm glad to hear that, Tiff.

Its not that I have a problem with religion, it just seems like religion suddenly has a problem with me...








Whatever. Nevermind.

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/18/05 at 11:31pm

We are not 'neverminding' this. And not all religion does, hon, I promise. My church is the most liberal branch and we're quite accepting of gays/bis/ect.
