It’s funny how different people will interpret different scenarios, even if they’re based on movies, television shows, and video games. And sometimes, you can’t help but wonder if the interpreter didn’t completely overthink a simple concept. 😉
Here’s a compilation of these crazy fan theories via Unreality Mag. A few of the theories sound downright paranoid, but others totally make sense and have you questioning the creators’ motives!
Over the weekend, I read a NYTimes article titled The End of Courtship? which questions the new millennials' methods of dating — or, in this case, not dating. Instead of dinner-and-a-movie, which seems as obsolete as a rotary phone, they rendezvous over phone texts, Facebook posts, instant messages and other "non-dates" that are leaving a generation confused about how to land a boyfriend or girlfriend. Traditional courtship — picking up the telephone and asking someone on a date — required courage, strategic planning and a considerable investment of ego (by telephone, rejection stings). Not so with texting, e-mail, Twitter or other forms of "asynchronous communication," as techies call it. In the context of dating, it removes much of the need for charm; it's...

This past week has been hell for me — not only was am I ill with a cold, Aerin has suddenly become super clingy with me. For instance, I’ll be standing behind her and she’ll start screaming because she can’t see me. I can’t even pee in peace because she’ll be trying to climb all over me.

They say that I should cherish these moments. And as much as I hate to admit it — because I’ve never been much for physical affection and she is really starting to annoy me — I know that I will. Just last month, when she got sick and refused to sleep in her crib, I would take her blankie and wrap it around her, holding her tight as we both dozed off on the couch. This is exactly what I did with Claire for the first 2 months of her life because it way the only way she would sleep. And holding Aerin like that really brought back those memories…I found myself feeling nostalgic.
Hasbro is currently running a Facebook campaign that allows YOU to vote for a new, permanent player's token. This kinda sucks if you don't use Facebook, but if you do, go vote now! As you can see above, the five candidates for a new token are: robot, ring, cat, helicopter, and guitar. Right now the cat is far ahead (cat owners can get pretty determined!), but since there already exists an animal on the board — and it has a very good chance of staying on — I would prefer another piece. I can't quite decide if I like the robot or the guitar best, but that's just me. Which is your favorite? Voting will continue until February 6th, when the replacement token will be...
