Ahhh that's what all the warnings were for! Lol! I'm sorry, I'm trying though. (I've written half of one that's been sitting around for a month and a half, and a paragraph of one that hasn't gotten far since this morning ( ... )

The world would be a much better place if we could all just be compassionate learn to respect each other a little bit more.

Where's the nearest shooting range? radleyboo February 15 2014, 22:20:31 UTC
Seriously, a shooting range, or a chair to throw across the room would be excellent. It's like, every piece of spec I see makes me want to scream.

Some people are stubborn as fuck in their mission to know every single thing and it always always ALWAYS ruins the experience, because if/when the same people get disappointed, the rest of us will be dragged down alongside them.

I swear, I'm one subtweet away from either calling people out or unfollowing. We're not dumb, and we're not going to change our way of thinking for you. Perhaps you should step off your high horse and reconsider your behavior, people.

For my emotional well-being I'm just going to avoid commenting altogether, and stay away from conversations.

Loooove that gif, btw. Cutest smile, ever!

I add gifs by using HTML codes. I think the one for images is, the following without spaces at the ends: < img scr = "link" >

I definitely need to avoid the speculation more this season. I'm not sure I could ever be happy about last season (spoiled or not), but I have a feeling all the speculation and disappointment is indeed part of it. I'm starting to skim over a lot more twitter conversations.

Holding in comments is a good start, and I've been doing some of that myself too. I need to make use of Andy's special talent sometimes and just 'walk away'.

Does the coding go at the beginning of the link, end of the link or both? Because it doesn't seem to be working for me.

we spend too much time getting overexcited and jumping to conclusions. of course we'll get screwed over--it's inevitable. a picture speaks a thousand words, but there are 10,000 more there, which we don't see.

the coding is bracketed around it. so < img src ="insert link here" > just remove the space between the src and equal sign, the one between the opening bracket and img, and the one right before the closing bracket.

that's a good idea--typing it out and then not sending. i've been doing a lot of holding back lately. the problem is in the fact that people that DO want to know everything just leave it out in the open for everyone to see. sometimes people don't even tag spoilers. it's very inconsiderate.

i likeeee that advice at the end. knowledge is power.

I know! ppl forget--more likely do not care--that some of us just don't want to know all the details this early. That's when I mute on tweetdeck.

After S4, I need to disengage from certain things for my sanity. I'll look at the pics, but picking apart everything that will end up appearing different when we see the actual episode is a waste of my time. There's pics of Ben that need to be stared at!!! Like you said above, there's many unseen pics that will off-set 1 pic.

I have two best friends from childhood that I consider sisters and one is a hardcore right and the other is a hardcore left. Now I'm a pretty assertive person but I tend to take a laid back approach when it comes to my own views but these two ladies (whom I love and adore) cannot be friends themselves despite the many common denominators (wicked smart. wicked funny. ambitious and driven.) simply because of their politics. I'm sending them both your post in the hopes I can actually sit down and have a drink with both of them at the same time and not have to worry about getting on my sexy referee outfit which would be nice because I kind of grew out of it when I started a desk job.
