Nail polish question
amberguessa:
How do y’all feel about Deborah Lippmann non-glitters?
I’m not a huge fan of the glitter polish I bought (Bad Romance is pretty, but chips like a mother fucker) so I was curious about her other stuff
I only buy their glitter polishes because they’re the most unique. I feel like the cremes are easily dupe-able, so they aren’t worth it at that price point.

In regards to that fateful Avenger’s moment, I can’t say I understand the disdain at Loki calling Natasha a mewling quim. It’s been pissing me off, and I think the reason, I’ve finally figured out…

scarygodmother replied to your post: Why do they insist on having Ethan hang off so many fucking buildings in this movie
Because if he didn’t hang off of buildings then there wouldn’t be a scene with Jeremy Renner lying on the floor pulling him back in and therefore there would be no long tracking shot of Jeremy Renner’s ass.
that is going to be the only thing...

Things which annoy me
Inviting people to meet up on a trip who then disappear off the face of the earth. I’m fine if you can’t go, just tell me one way or the other so I can plan whether to include your indecisive ass or not. Holding the whole plan hostage because you can’t answer your emails is not cool.

Well.
I finally figured out the secondary reason I will always hate Rick Santorum.
First reason, obviously, is that he hates and fears women. Duh.
Reason two? He said that, paraphrasing, that his position is to see whatever Joe Biden was for and then be against it.
So he’s vehemently anti-hotdogs then. This motherfucker is truly un-American.

The only legitimate reason to end a communication with “Cheers!” if you are American is if you’re being a bitch on purpose.
I mostly know douchebag guys that say this. God, asshole, stop trying to make “cheers” happen.
