I have so many awkward moments. The last one occurred about 15 minutes ago, when I realized I had left my vibrator out on the shelf in the bathroom I share with my straight roommate, after she (and her fiance) both were in there before bed. Oh my god.

Does anybody else’s feline acquaintance (they sure as hell don’t like to be called “pets”) eat their food with their paws?
-
Yes, and drinks water that way. She dips her paw in water and licks it off her paw.
-
One of my cats does that too – it’s cute until he starts dipping his paws into my glass
-
sometimes my cat does that right after she’s clearly been in the litter box. and she’s usually drinking out of my girlfriend’s bedside table water. my girlfriend freaks out and calls it poop water, and i laugh and laugh.

-
My cat Petey (also my avatar on here) drinks this way! I thought he was the only one, since none of our other cats do this.

I say things when I KNOW I shouldn’t, but my optimism makes me think it might turn out okay.
In the hairdresser’s, in my conservative, redneck shithole of a town:
Catherine (hairdresser): Oh, this short style really suits you.
Me: Yeah, I’m glad I finally got the courage up to chop it all off, you know. It’s a big thing.
C: It’s very chic!

I hope/assume your ears are still intact? Also I want to start using “folicular patrons” in daily language. Haha :P
-
I’ve still got the ears. I’m glad with the way it turned out; now, when I get my ridiculous amount of piercings, they’ll be visible and not hidden under my previously biebery shag. Which made for awkward times in my small town as well.
“You look like Justin Bieber.”
“FUCK YEAH!!”
“What the hell?”

this is brilliant.

this is a fucking amazing compliment. YOU are brilliant, my good lady.

i’ve never been complimented so thoroughly on a compliment. astounded right now.

I spent an hour talking to my parents and my hairdresser explaining that there are places where getting hair cut like mine isn’t weird or unusual. without saying “lesbians”, in an effort to avoid the awkward.
DIDN’T WORK

if you have a short gay haircut i really recommend cutting it yourself! it’s actually super easy!
-
yeah, that was how the discussion ended. do you have any tips on that subject, btw? they’d be super helpful!
-
i keep my hair pretty short so it’s super duper easy for me. i use a set of clippers with the longest guide thingy on, the 3/4″ one, and just buzz the back and sides with that. i keep the top a little longer and parted on the left. to do that, i use the same guide thingy on the clippers. i stand my hair up (i cut it dry but my hair is super thick…[Read more]

I’ve always really wanted to cut my hair myself after I heard that Keith Richards did it. The guy is my idol. And it seems like what the cool kids do. I’m just terrified of messing up.

i can’t think of anything more fitting than the fact that i am sitting here awkwardly by myself in a group about how life is awkward

probably the most awkward roommate moment I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a few)
Youguys, you’re making me loathe the idea of rooming with a straight cisgirl who is also from my conservative small redneck town at college. I just feel like the potential for awkwadness is SUPER DUPER HIGH.
think of the fodder you’ll have for stories on this group. TOTALLY WORTH IT.
I just need to establish some sort of system with her that lets her know when I’d like our room to myself. I feel like establishing this system will be an awkward conversation in itself.
Approach it from the point of view that she probably wants a system just as much as you do. She won’t want you walking in on her either. Act like it’s totally normal!
this is an age-old college roommate quandary. you’ll figure it out. i’m not worried.
when you and your girl are playing “chess”, just text your roommate beforehand like “hey! cobra for 3o minutes! later!”.
