“We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger.”

Rant rant rant
I have an internship. It seems pretty challenging, but hopefully the www will be open to my constant googling. On the other note:
Sometimes I wonder what the point of summers are. Is it just so that we can put “rull life experience” onto our resumes? Is it so that we can work on marketing ourselves in the future?
I feel like as I am becoming an adult, I’m not necessarily maturing by having these internships. I’m doing it for experience, to learn more, but in the end, is it worth my time? That is to be determined by my performance doing this work, but literally what I’m trying to say is that this work experience isn’t making me a more seasoned person. I’m not becoming a better person on this earth by signing a contract that states that I work minimum wage/hour, but I’m also sometimes confused as to whether I’m supposed to just wait and see what this work will unfold to. Maybe this will be character changing or honing?
I might just be entertaining romantic ideas of going off in the world alone to see how I fend for myself. I’m a product of a very cushioned/sheltered environment, whether at school or at home. I’m actually not sure what I’m trying to say now, maybe that I want an opportunity to leave this bubble of a life I have and get real. But I’m also a coward, and I’m scared of what I don’t know. I just can’t stop thinking about it; what would happen if I strayed from the path of your average working American girl (or ABC, rather) and didn’t do this internship. Would I fail? I think there is more room for error in life than that (is that even considered an error?).
WHAT AM I SAYING? Life is a misconception. A fallacy where there really is no wrong, but there seems to be so many ways to error. Or at least, that’s what is said. I’m scared of doing the wrong thing so I do the mainstream, and I’m too cowardly to pursue anything else.
I’m confused now. And disappointed.
put possessiveness under check.

Words Used to Describe Genitals
So at one point someone suggested we start a list of words used in fanfiction to describe genitals. After a particularly great Twilight fic was submitted, I decided to start that list, and Im providing what the phrase is describing. It will be updated as more words and phrases are found. And feel free to submit ones you’ve heard :3

A good braid is one that is tight enough that it doesn’t feel like hair anymore.

Murrage
When you’ve been in a relationship for x number of years, when do you decide you should marry? How do you know? If you are in your young twenties, what is holding you back from getting marriage? Is it stigma? Is it because its a label? Well if it is just a label, then why don’t you just do it? What changes in a relationship once you marry? The expectations? Are you then encouraged to keep going down the path of “old” adulthood where you have kids, buy a house, get settled? Isn’t that just encouragement? At the same time people tell you that you should wait until you get a lot older, but what is the difference from then and now? It just a name? Its just a label? Its just a contract?
