Quote:Funny story. When I first started gardening I noticed I had a real aversion to pink flowers.
I think I heard that in Victorian times pink was actually the colour for boys and blue for girls.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Someone told me in college I had no personality. What a horrific thing to say, looking back. That's the only time someone said something like that. Although far from the only time I was openly ridiculed.

I've been called without personality. .. by a libyan female obsessed with marriage.
I hate both girly and manly stuff
Libyan men are like stereotypical African Americans, libyan women are a mixture of African American women and women from movies like "the mona lisa smile"

If I miss someone I DEFINITELY tell them you miss them, I've told girls I miss how they smell I miss how they feel I miss how they sound.
But I didn't put a status on a social media program broadcast to everyone saying "I miss how you feel, how you smell, how you sound". I just simply txt that one individual person a message to their phone or called them on the phone. No one else saw it or had to look at it and wonder who I was talking about.
Also these messages aren't forthright from the person to another person, they are usually made up by someone online, typed up in a nice font with some fancy graphics behind the font, put on a website where people download these images then the images are used as profile photos on things like whatsapp, probably on facebook even though I don't have facebook I imagine they get used on there even more.
You've never made a public gesture to a woman you've loved? Never expressed public appreciation for a friend?
Different strokes, I suppose.

I have the full range of emotions: Rage. Anger. Hate.
Well at least you have the essential ones.

I think you'll find broad traits around the shoulders tends to be masculine and broad traits round the hips tends to be feminine.
I pride myself on being exceptionally annoying.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Absolutely true. All shades of red (including pink) were associated with masculinity. I blame the fuckin' Romans.
