Reblog and put in the tags if you can remember where you got the shirt you're currently wearing.

What was your obscure chatroom/forum that you used before social media? Don’t say Gaia Online or Club Penguin. I’m talking obscure.

since apparently this is controversial, reblog with your country in the tags and whether or not you think noodles and pasta are the same thing

I kinda want to do a poll, but I'm not sure how to explain what I mean. I'll give a shot, though.

Talked to my cousin/longtime BFF yesterday, and we had the same conversation/complaint that we've been having for decades now. We grew up in the same city, but both of us moved away in very early adulthood. And both of us realized, when we went back home to visit, that almost no one had any interest in hearing what was going on outside of their little community. They didn't care about what we were doing in our new cities/states, they didn't ask questions, they gave us confused and sometimes disparaging looks when we tried to talk about our lives. It's soul-crushing for a young person. I gave up trying many years before my family was all gone, but she continues to try and hope and get frustrated. (This is a pattern in both of our lives - I'm much more likely to say 'fuck it' and give up to try something new, while she's stubborn and focused as hell. Our respective lives definitely reflect this, in both good and bad ways for both of us.)

The personal joke/coping mechanism between the two of us is that it's a weird "[state] thing," because we both feel like people are a lot more curious and open in our new homes - but that could also just be confirmation bias, based on who we choose to spend time with. We built our own communities here, but back in our home city, it's the same people we were talking to back in the 90s. So that probably plays a big part of it too.

Anyway. So here's the poll I want to do. Please answer if:

You moved away from home and live in a different city/state/region/country now.

You continue to talk to family or old friends in your original home.

Look me straight in the eyes and tell me your current music taste isn’t what your father played in the car when you were a kid.

"For anyone who doesn't know what a Bacon number is, it is the degrees of separation a person is from the actor Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon's number is 0, Someone who has worked with him directly's number is 1. Someone who has worked with that person's number is 2, and so on. (Here is a link to the Wikapedia page on Bacon numbers for more details.)

If you don't know your Bacon number, you can check it on The Oracle of Bacon by putting in the name of the most famous person that you or someone you know have met"

One of my favorite things is modern adaptations that leave people with the same careers they had in the original material, because unless you’re a cop or a doctor that practically never happens.

Irene Adler’s an opera singer. We still have those! They don’t have the same subtext exactly, but nothing is going to because we aren’t the Victorians. She could continue to be an opera singer. I have never seen this happen.

Jonathan Harker can still be in real estate. That’s a job people have. A modern story that still involves Dracula contacting his firm to help him purchase property sounds amazing actually.
