What you need to do Jenny, is go out and buy some cakes, or sweets, or whatever it is you treat yourself with. Then you can eat those and leave the Peirogi (whatever the hell that is) for your mother.

Peirogi are eastern European dumplings filled with potato (and other things like meat, fruit, sauerkraut, cheese, etc... but potato is the most common and is my favorite of those I've tried so far), boiled, and then fried in butter and onions.
But, yeah, I'll probably go to the store and get some frozen peirogi just to tide myself over. Store bought is never as good though, and frozen dumplings always turn out so sticky compared to the fresh variety.
I don't think that it'd be much of a stretch to call it similar to cult mentality. There's definitely that internal justification where you feel like if you went through so much to get in, it must be worth it. But officially, the Greek organizations aren't allowed to participate in "hazing". Pretty sure they totally still do anyway.
Do you have those sort of general interest societies over in the states? Like we have them for basically everything you can think of. I think I saw an Extreme Ironing Society in Cardiff...
Not so much, as far as I'm aware. There's a lot of that sort of thing in colleges, if you know how to seek it out, but once you're out of there, I don't think there's too much of it.
Today I finally finished my sprite for the ninja outfit of one of the main characters of my pay-what-you-want project, so I think it's a good time to introduce some of my characters.
Clint Punchkick is the self-proclaimed stealthmaster stealth. He's a bard, but his ambitions is to be a master thief / bard multi-class, however, he sucks at stealth, and the only thing he's capable of successfully stealing and reverse-pickpocketing is clothing, and only while they're being worn.
Tea Cha is a ninja. It's unknown why she actually hang out with Clint, as she most definitely doesn't like him at all, but the one person she can't stand more is her arch-rival and teammate Delta Omi. Tea is very serious in what she does, and wants to prove she can be a better ninja than even the best ogre (and we all know ogres make the best ninjas). Tea always wears a scarf to cover her face, as she claims her face is horribly scarred.
Delta Omi is the beautiful and elegant palladancer of the team (a palladin and dancer in one). She really doesn't like it when you mispronounce her class as poledancer. Her agility allows her to perform at her best when doing her special ability, which is pole dancing. She is Tea's arch-rival, and there's a lot of animosity between the two, mostly because of their affection towards Trent Demazure. Nevertheless, they both complement each other, making them an unstoppable force of nature.
Trent Demazure... I actually haven't fleshed him out yet. Heck, until recently I didn't even know what his class should be (he's an archer by the way). He's very handsome, and he's a real lady killer, sometimes deliberately. He's murdered more women than you've had meals in the past month, and it's not even because he's got a bad aim. He's just extremely unlucky.
Hank Barton is a barbarian, and probably the most manly person on the team. Yeah, he really doesn't have a backstory yet, but who cares? He's mostly made because I needed a very manly man. He smashes stuff and kills stuff, except when it's time for tea. MANLY TEA.
Our local Ukrainian Catholic Church makes the best pierogi. I'm bummed that they won't be making more until the end of next month.
I told my mom I'd save her half a dozen when she comes back Monday morning from her trip upstate. But I'm finding it very hard to resist the temptation. And I still have two and a half days left.:eek:
Pyrohy(I grew up with the Ukrainian term) are awesome. I just hate the ones with cheese. Potato plain or potato and bacon. My baba made excellent ones.
Our government has chosen to do nothing against it, neither oppose the US in any conceivable way nor shut their own surveillance down.
The second largest party ('socialist' at least yesteryear) routinely spouts big words against chancellor Merkel, but will predictably follow through with absolutely nothing, as objections have already risen within the party itself.
And then there's four parties left, our elusive green party which has acclaimed its greatest successes standing for nothing; our liberals, who are just a bunch of greedy rich fools who'd spy on their own mothers given the chance; the ultra left, which are absolutely unvotable because they're still led by a narcissistic asshole and - get this! - a former member of the GDR's secret police, the Stasi.
And then there are the 'pirates', which openly oppose this kind of surveillance, but are so inherently stupid that neither did they grasp what a political party is and how it functions in their years of existence, nor are they willing to position themselves anywhere in the political spectrum. They're just a bunch of nerds thrown together, ultra left or nazi, whatever. Even as part of the government, their inner conflicts would make them incapable of action.
(The measures to prevent spambot comments are also rather hardcore. Should you register to post, you'll have to drop me a PM as well. This might be rather extreme, but the bots in this forum have actually managed to surprise the moderators one morning with no less than 5,000 spam blog entries. Quite enough to panic, I'd say.)
Time to sing a song about my graduation from high school years ago.
I know I'm funny but I just can't stand the pain
Hell, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me, hell you know I've done all I can
You see I laughed, joked, through my sorrows
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it
Ooh...
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, hell, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Because I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning....
Now I'm laying on the floor thinking about hurting old classmates.
I'm trying really, really hard to find things to care about in pop culture right now. I know it sounds like I'm actively trying to hate everything, but I'm trying really, really hard to like something. I just keep getting disappointed, and I'm fed up with it.
It's really weird when one of three movies I care about at all is directed by Ben Stiller.
To be perfectly honest, the main thing I'm looking forward to is Avengers 2. Everything else, movie-wise, is on the "wait until the reviews come out" list. Though I'll probably just go see all the Marvel movies out of principle and also to keep the continuity going.
Fuck Avengers 2. Until I see a full trailer it's guilty until proven innocent.
Guardians is the Marvel movie worth looking forward to, and I don't even trust that. Don't trust Ant Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Luke Cage, or anything else.
I don't forget that while Avengers is a memorable, one of a kind superhero flick, pretty soon it won't be one of a kind, and it looks like it was shot for TV to boot.

I'm looking forward to X-Men Days of Future Past more though Ik regarding X-Men movies I shouldn't get my hopes too high.

Why do you care? Pop culture's interest in gaming is relegated to Call of Duty.
You might just be feeling burned out on doing the same thing for too long. There are times where I stare at my list of Steam games and I really feel like playing none of them. Also, the movies you own, you've seen so many times that you don't need to anymore; and the movies you haven't seen, you don't feel in the mood for.
It happens. But pop culture is not a good standard by which to measure yourself because pop culture largely focuses on fads and so what it likes now will be out of fashion in a short while anyway.
I'm sure there's something you used to like and yet you feel too meh to do/watch/listen to. Maybe if you did/watched/listened to it again anyway you might find you still like it after all.
No. No, it doesn't. I mean are we talking Criterion movies? Refn's Only God Forgives? Indie and foreign films? The Master? The Butler? Captain Phillips? Beasts of the Southern Wild? Once Upon a Time in Anatolia? 2046? Snowpiercer?
FUCKING BORING. WHATEVER. I don't FEEL ANYTHING watching this shit anymore.
About the only new thing to me right now that has successfully made me feel something is the early episodes of the Simpsons and some of 90s Spider-Man, which I've been watching. The last movie to REALLY make me feel something was Django.

It was so lonely in the goodwill. I couldn't help myself.

I can't, so you can't.
On the contrary, it's high time that hundreds of thousands of people walk in the streets chanting "Wir sind das Volk" again.

Whatever we vote, we're fucked.
I'm surprised you noticed just now. I've been feeling this way for at least the last two legislative periods.
Your whole post reminded me of that nice South Park episode.
Just some subversive theories to roughen up the debate... I hope it's to your taste.

Guess that's my evening then. Heavy Rotation for about 1 hour already.

you guys i think i have a problem
Now, if you bought all of that stuff at the price it was going at when it was new, then you'd have a problem.
