I don't quite understand what you wrote.
But objectively speaking I noticed throughout my life that I really like how a lot of Italian people look. Even if they're grandmothers they seem to give the vibes of 'a life well lived.'

I can explain parts if you point out what I didn't say in an understandable way, if it's of interest.
I didn't get what you meant by 'Je ne sais quoi' and even though I'm willing to bet part of what I said applies (shared Mediterranean stereotype) I missed the actual point because I got caught up on the reference to The Bachelor.

:oops:

I'm talking about how in the Anglosphere and maybe some other parts of northern Europe how folks from Spain, Portugal, Italy and southern France (or expy versions of those) are often depicted as especially desirable, romantic, passionate, etc.

Oh ok. I think je ne sais quoi (i dont know what) is an aura/charm that one cannot quite put their finger on. Like 'the X factor'(not the show).

I like their eyes. People of Italian descent. Like Liza Minelli and Sylvester Stallone.

The prospect of societal collapse... Why does it excite me so? Why am I looking forward to it?
What exactly am I waiting for? Wars, disasters, massive panics... Why do I really not feel the same?


But I'm sure I'm not the only one because something inside me is asleep, wanting to wake up -- something deep and inherently human, and possibly predatory. Little to do with my personality, inclinations and not even the case of autism could explain it.

If ever there was some sort of apocalyptic event where only a small percentage of humans remained, I've always thought I'd much rather be one of the ones who died rather than one of the ones trying to survive in the aftermath.

My head feels very...ugh. It doesn't quite hurt, it doesn't quite feel stuffy (and neither ibuprofen nor decongestant helped it), it just feels...ugh. It's felt this way since yesterday morning.

I would've.
I likely could've.

But we don't have right type of table. :(

3 dogs survived the Titanic sinking out of 12 canines on board.

It feels like my brain is slowly turning into a mush that will keep me alive but not be capable of much more :(

Homer:
But wait. You can't kill me for being Krusty. I'm not him. I'm Homer Simpson.

Fat Tony:
The same Homer Simpson who crashed his car through the wall of our club?

Homer:
Uh... actually my name is Barney. Yeah, Barney Gumble.

Legs:
The same Barney Gumble who keeps taking pictures of my sister?

Homer:
Uh... actually my real name is uh... think Krusty, think... Joe Valachi!

Louie:
The same Joe Valachi who squealed to the Senate Committee about organized crime?

Homer:
Benedict Arnold!

Legs:
The same Benedict Arnold who plotted to surrender West Point to the hated British?

Homer:
D'oh!

It would make an interesting Don Bluth film to have the story of the sinking of the Titanic as told my the dogs on board. I always liked Don Bluth.

Wow, the iPad my mom got me for my birthday is huge! I'm used to doing stuff on my phone, and apparently the iPad I had before is a mini and this is a regular, so it's much bigger than either of those. Makes it easier to play hidden object games and stuff.
