  • I've been watching documentaries/videos on crows for weeks now. They're just so fascinating.
  • Moana. I swear to gosh, "You're Welcome" has been stuck in my head for weeks. Shortly before that I watched Captain America: Winter Soldier, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Captain America: Civil War. I'm not sure why it took me so long to get around to them.
  • I was more positive, outgoing, and confident when I was in high school. Now I'm cynical (borderline misanthropic some days), reclusive, and have the self-esteem of a doorknob. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm working on it, though. Oh, I'm also a lot gayer.
  • Years ago, when I was a teen looking for a quick fix, I tried taking ACV to "boost my metabolism." I didn't lose a pound, primarily because I didn't change my eating habits or increase my activity, but I will say this: it helped my chronic stomach pain a lot and worked better than pain killers when it came to getting rid…
  • I'm making carne guisada (steak stew) w/ brown rice and black beans and a small salad (spinach, onions, tomatoes) on the side. My mouth is watering just thinking about it, tbh.
  • Lucky you. I wish I didn't dislike as many foods as I do. Being a picky eater isn't a good thing, IMO. Also, I agree with the liverwurst/organ meat thing. I have this one aunt who is always cooking innards (gizzards, heart, liver, kidney, tongue, brain, etc) so I try to avoid eating with her (or being near her, actually)…
  • This. Like, there are loads of food I dislike, but celery? Whoo, boy. I abhor celery with every fiber of my being.
  • I'm a really picky eater. Like, I'll try almost anything, but more often than not I end up not liking something, either because of its taste or texture or smell (or all three (i.e., fish). It sucks, but it is what it is, I guess. A few common foods/drinks that I hate are: - coffee - plain milk - celery - arugula - brussel…
  • Marry me? Because everything you said is spot on. The aforementioned friend has a major issue with the 1) dialogue and 2) "excessive symbolism," as he put it, which I find bizarre because both were great. The dialogue was at times remarkably clever and/or profound (i.e., "False faces in family portraits. Layers and layers…
  • Physical: - Dark hair (long-ish hair is a bonus) - A nice smile - Nice hands/long fingers *** - Defined (and veiny) forearms. - Crow's feet (shh, don't ask) - Moles/beauty marks/freckles - Strong jaw - Bubble butt
  • Born to Quit - The Used
  • Sleep Like a Baby Tonight - U2
  • What are your favorite genres/sub-genres?
  • @KyleGrace8 - Hajime no Ippo is such a fantastic anime/manga. I love most sports anime, though.
  • Fantastic job! Congratulations!!
  • Heya. I'm 25 y/o and hoping to lose 100 lbs this year, as well. I lost 22 lbs in the past 2 months, then made the decision to re-join MFP in early January because I honestly love the control counting calories affords me. Feel free to add me!
  • My favorite protein bar is the Quest's Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough one. And while these aren't protein bars per se, Clif's Chocolate Chip/Cool Mint/Iced Gingerbread Energy bars are fantastic (about 10g protein per bar). These are the only protein bars I've been able to stomach.
  • When I'm craving candy hardcore I'll either eat dark chocolate or a hard candy I can suck on for a while (peppermint balls are my #1 choice, though I also love Jolly Ranchers). As for sweets in general? I'm obsessed with Clif Energy bars (Chocolate Chip/Cool Mint/Iced Gingerbread) and Quest Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough…
  • I'll take a hot-as-Satan's-piss shower and follow up with some gingermint or lemon tea w/ honey. Throughout the day I'll stick to warm/soft comfort foods (i.e., apple sauce, gelatin, soup, etc) and lozenges. I also use nasal sprays. I hope you feel better soon! Being sick is the worst.
  • I research the most grotesque, morbid, and macabre of subjects and use that knowledge to torture people. I do so to tantalize and entertain.
  • Isn't it, though? A friend of mine thought the series was pretentious, but I honestly thought it was beautiful.
  • This. I definitely wouldn't dismiss it until you've sampled one or two series belonging to a genre you're into. A friend of mine was adamantly against it as well until I recommended something that I figured he'd like. Prior to that his only experience with anime had been what his brother had roped him into watching…
  • - Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation (!!!) - Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-bu - Masamune-kun no Revenge - Kuzu no Honkai - Youjo Senki - Days OVA Those are the anime I currently have my eye on, though I won't check any of them out until 1) I've finished some of the series I'm currently watching (Re-Zero, Yuri!!! On…
  • Nah, I'm more into J-pop. I've tried getting into K-pop a few times, but it never really stuck. @KyleGrace8 - did you say anime? ;) What series are you currently watching?
  • - Hannibal (any fannibals in the house?) - Doctor Who (Nu-Who, S1-5) - Supernatural - The 100 - Pitch - Grey's Anatomy - Misfits (S1-3) - The Good Place - Political Animals - Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Orange is the New Black - Friends - Criminal Minds
