Please Don't Kill Me! But...

[Haids1987]

But why risk possibly getting skin cancer for the sake of vanity?

I soak up the sun like the 1/16th part Native American I am, so I get tan without trying. Therefore, I never wear sunscreen (even though, yes, I know it protects from skin cancer and puts me at risk. )

For those of you who aren't so lucky, tanning beds seem like a better option. It's the same rays that you're getting from the sun, just manufactured.  See, I've never gone tanning before, but to me it all seems relative to hanging out in the sun for a few hours without sunscreen. Same thing I do, just in a box.

I'm talking about the people who are addicted and do it so much it doesn't look natural like you were talking about in the post you saw on Pinterest. There is a huge difference with doing it naturally like you do and going to the tanning bed almost every day.

Like this chick?

Commenting on Haids' reference to "Unbreak My Heart": Please don't kill me, but ...

I've heard beautiful covers of that song (by Johnny Mathis, etc), but the Toni Braxton vocally manic-depressive original makes my skin crawl. LEARN TO HOLD A NOTE FOR PETE'S SAKE! She sounds like Rihanna without the AutoTune hiding her complete vocal failure.

Also, I can put up with the occasional Pixar movie, but I don't care for most of their movies (aside from Up and Wall-E, which I bought). By the way, Wall-E gives emotions to the robots, but Machinarium sucks at it. If I'd been able to buy a hard copy instead of a digital copy, I could sell the dumb thing.

Haha! Not just that, but she's so breathy and melodramatic, it's ridiculous.

But I unfortunately like that song--90's nostalgia!

I am so glad I was into Country music during the 1990s (when it was still worth a listen).  I got to avoid a lot of the crap out there, although some pop songs made their way into my life.  I remember riding the bus to school and listening to the radio, so I caught "Most Beautiful Girl In The World" (Prince), "You Are Not Alone" (Michael Jackson), and a couple of songs from Real McCoy. My general knowledge of 1990s music is much weaker than that of Country from that time.

I'm a total 90's kid, so I ate, breathed, drank, and sweated 90's music--Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews Band, of course the Backstreet Boys, etc. They're all anthems from childhood to me!

Back when I was 17, my girlfriend got me into BSB's music.  In fact, because of them, Andrea Bocelli, Kyu Sakamoto, Sandy Lima *staring off into dreamland... ahem!*  (with her brother as, Sandy & Junior) and some others, I started translating music (for personal study) from different languages to English.  I may not be the best educated, but I find I use what knowledge I have to communicate and read quite a bit outside of English.  Props to BSB for "Donde Quieras Yo Iré" ("Anywhere For You"), "Non Puoi Lasciarmi Così" ("Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)"), and "Nunca Te Haré Llorar" ("I'll Never Break Your Heart")!

Speaking of Country music and alternate versions... Enjoy!  I found this about a week ago and just got the chance to buy the studio version from eMusic. (Hate me if you must. I understand.)

Please don't kill me, but I hate public transportation. I know it's good for the environment and all, but I have two major problems with it:

1) It takes a lot longer to get anywhere.
2) There are other people on it.

*started riding in a vanpool today*

The one good thing is that I am gaining some free time... doing some testing of Cognition Episode 1.

I don't like it much either. I didn't use the bus system in college unless I absolutely had to. It took a hour to get to our mall when it would take 15-20 by car because it went practically every back road in town. It was okay from time to time but it wasn't my first choice

Sweetie, nobody will kill you. We all hate it.

For reasons such as this, actually.

[KatieHal]

A friend of mine hates it so much she wrote a musical about it.

The bus I got off of on Sunday... had two other people on it besides me... (So, then it was just the driver escorting this couple direct to Limerick... it was weird...)

[MikPal]

Feel free to hate me, but I don't like Chris Wedge and Genndy Tartakovsky

[darthkiwi]

Hate me if you feel you have to, but I liked the ending to Mass Effect 3.

I will now be torn apart by the internet for your pleasure.

[KatieHal]

Just like in Shaun of the Dead!

(blood, guts...obviously)

[darthkiwi]

Yes, exactly! That's such a good metaphor for the hordes of the internet.

[Delling]

What? That they are braindead shuffling hordes who can be wholly ignored if one just shuffles along like them? ...oh... wait... that IS incredibly accurate. ... carry on.

Hahahahahahahaha!
