AVEN HAS A SPECIAL THREAD WHERE MEMBERS CONFESS CRUSHES / SQUISHES ON EACH OTHER, AND IT'S SEPARATE FROM THE ONE WHERE THEY TALK ABOUT REAL-LIFE CRUSHES / SQUISHES. I MEANT A THREAD ANALOGOUS TO THE FORMER. I FIND SUCH A SEPARATION QUITE CONVENIENT.

 

I'LL DEFINITELY READ THE OTHER LINKED THREADS, THANKS.

YOU CAN MAKE ONE IF YOU WANT

IT MIGHT BE FAIRLY QUIET BUT IT'D BE A COOL IDEA!

ALSO AN OFFICIAL WELCOME TO CAPSLOCKIA FROM THE OFFICIAL BORDER POLICE PERSON (AND @brsajo TOO!)

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU'VE PAID THE OFFICIAL TOLL FEE AND YOU CAN BE ON YOUR WAY TO ENJOY OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY

(The 9 is size 72 and 4 is 22, 72+22=94, aren't I clever)

Rolls up sleeves

Looks like this is the thread for me

I know that arcade isn't supposed to count towards post count; but shouldn't the normal off-topic count towards it? Am I the only one to have noticed this, or am I the only one affect by it?

I noticed it too, and I think it should count if that can be done.

They're great!

@Blue Phoenix Ace its been like that for a while, but not always. Its kind of on and off. I do not have internet explorer, just safari, chrome and firefox. I did not catch it acting up in chrome or in safari yet.

 

Any of these?

 

The hug would have to be a different size, as there are two emoticons in one pic.  I have found a square one, but imho its awkward. What do you think people? 

 

Also edited the hearts one so there are several ones... probably will be needed on this forum

  -> 

 

 

@Louis Hypo how about this one for "this is a euphemism"?

I really like the green heart one

MY FEET ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIZES AND ALSO GENERALLY IN BETWEEN SHOE SIZES

ALSO ODD SHAPED I GUESS BECAUSE I ALWAYS STRUGGLE TO FIND A COMFORTABLE PAIR

I HATE IT

WAKE UP CAPSLOCKIA

I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with me being aromantic, though, because I've never played "mother and baby" with my dolls as a child

Oh man, I've always found that kind of unsettling. Little girls only a few years old are already being given baby dolls and having to act like mothers? It's creepy, the way from such a young age people are already teaching them to grow up and take care of kids because that's what girls are for, apparently?

I've never had this thankfully... It sounds so awkward and not really a great way to start a relationship off imo. Asking someone out should be a private, one on one conversation - I really don't get the point of asking in front of a group? (well... I suppose because then you might not want to say no....)

Not quite the same, but I have had a guy ask me out when he was out my house (he'd already asked a couple of times anyway, I'd said no) and my mum overheard... >.>

SO IN SUMMARY, REWATCHING IS TAKING A GAMBLE: EITHER IT'S MUCH BETTER AND YOU APPRECIATE IT MORE OR IT'S MUCH WORSE AND FOREVER RUINED.

MORAL OF THE STORY?

YOU LIKE RISKS - REWATCH IT

YOU DON'T LIKE RISKS - LET IT LIVE ON IN YOUR MEMORIES AS WHAT IT WAS AND NEVER LET YOURSELF KNOW THE TRUTH

THE CAT IN THE HAT LOOKS REALLY CREEPY. O_O

 

THE OPPOSITE HAPPENED TO ME WITH THE INCREDIBLES, THOUGH. I'D REMEMBERED IT BEING AN OK MOVIE BUT NOT GREAT, BUT THEN ON A WHIM I BOUGHT IT JUST TO REWATCH IT. AND I REALLY LIKED IT.

I HAD THAT WITH THE WALLACE AND GROMIT CURSE OF THE WERERABBIT FILM

I THOUGHT "YEAH IT'S ALRIGHT" BUT I WATCHED IT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND IT WAS GREAT

YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE SEEN MY REACTION WHILE REWATCHING EPISODES OF CARTOONS I USED TO WATCH --OR EVEN BETTER-- THE MOVIE OF "THE CAT IN THE HAT." THAT MOVIE SEEMED... NOT BAD AS A SIX YEAR OLD. BUT NOW... *CRINGE, SHUDDER*

I DON'T REMEMBER CAT IN THE HAT BEING THAT BAD....... I'LL HAVE TO REWATCH IT SOON

I still don't really know if I've had crushes, I spent a long time wanting a relationship, I don't really relate to the term squish? Whilst my "crushes" were more like squishes, they were barely anything and I was completely fine not being friends with that person so it doesn't feel like a squish...

One of my friends is constantly getting crushes on his female friends too. All the time, with our mutual friends, it's like "oh she's so smart and wonderful I really like her!" and I'm just like WTF.

 

"CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT LIKE PEOPLE AS JUST FRIENDS WHAT"

It's confusing...

The amount of times I've said I liked someone for people to think I meant it as a crush... no... >.<

Right now me and my friends are trying to figure out one of our friend's crush... He's had like 5 crushes since September

just

how

I don't get it

I'm really hoping they don't ask me about crushes

Whilst I thought I had crushes (just squishes really) I didn't feel like I wanted to date them, and when my friends went on about their crushes my feelings felt so different. I also never understood why they were upset when they asked them out and got rejected, I thought it'd be great to just be friends with my "crushes"

Oh, and people seemed to always have crushes. I had like 3 noticeable squishes throughout school, every seemed to have at least one crush at any point in their life. People often thought I was lying when I said I didn't have a crush. 

I don't, but if I was living with an (aro) friend who wanted kids and for me to help out... I probably could.

Doubt I'll ever choose to raise them myself, though.

I don't think I ever wanted kids, even before I realised I was aro so... I don't think it has too much of an effect?

I SPEND TOO MUCH NOT ENOUGH TIME ON THE INTERNET

FIXED

I've got this placement thing for the summer (with gravitational waves research) and today I went to meet the people I'll be working with and discussing a bit more about what I was doing. I was pretty nervous because I didn't know what they were gonna be like or what they were gonna ask me...

But it went really well!

They were all very friendly, gave me some ideas about what I'll be doing, it's going to be pretty casual (meaning I don't have to wear a dress which was honestly one of the biggest things I was worrying about) and they don't seem really strict on what hours I'm doing (good because of how far I'm travelling and the train times)
