It's one thing to watch on a screen but to be amongst it is something else.
Metal music is the defining feature of a lot of important moments in my life, I've been into rock and metal since primary school but if someone at my wedding started shouting Slayer or tried to initiate a mosh pit at my wedding I'd be furious.
I went to a wedding where the first dance started off standard and then segued into the wedding party starting a pit. Pure horror from the old relatives. It was actually pretty fun.

Slightly obsessed with Hillsong here. I also got addicted to the Netflix series Greenleaf.

I know I hate this time of year so there’s no particular reason why I’m saying this now. I just want to say that the last three years have been the most traumatic psychologically and being here has got me through that. Just reading through your days/funny conversations/seeing the fabulous pets.

I was never one to dismiss online forums as mumsnet used to provide hilarity during my MSc stresses, but the friendship (and it is friendship) and support that is offered on this site has been the best I have had, I think ever.

Sometimes I worry I overshare, take too much and then hide for a bit, worry about reactions. Then there was the time I was called Britney on Twitter 😂💃.

You are all fab (sending out a pirate call to ones who aren’t here so much too 🏴‍☠️). Keep being fab.
I definitely overshare, and I agree that it is friendship, even if people never meet "in real life". Its still real.

I went to a London Church of Christ service once, after a friend/ex got suckered in - they'd been pressurising him to bring new people so I agreed to be a stooge. Quite bizarre. He did escape them in the end, but not before ending up married to a fellow cult member who he hadn't so much as kissed before the wedding, because they all had to take a vow of celibacy outside of marriage. Nor did he think it might have been a good idea to tell her about the Prince Albert piercing beforehand, so I imagine she got a bit of a shock on the honeymoon. The wedding guests were almost entirely church members apart from his parents and siblings, her parents and siblings, and me and two other friends of his.

Merry Xmas to all. Will probably be around here less in the new year as I think I've been falling into bad habits of spending too much time online, but thank you all for the virtual company!
Will miss you, but balance is important. Thank you again for bringing Blocked and Reported into my online life!

Hillsong is deffo a cult! Listen to the Chris Pratt episode of Beyond The Blinds (if it's not Patreon only). They have girls who shag the famous members - it's gross. Also did anyone read that piece about the TikTok dance crew in LA which is also a cult? Not sure if this is the original piece I read about it in: https://www.rollingstone.com/cultur...ations-miranda-wilking-james-derrick-1323200/

Xmas day going very smoothly here with just the odd weird dig from my mum that I'm managing to mostly ignore.

Happy Christmas all Frauen and Herren xxx

That orgasm cult scam, they had a good thing going until someone had to ruin it. Netflix, Orgasm Inc., if anyone doesn't fancy the King's speech.

had a minor panic earlier cos i was convinced we still had a packet bread sauce mix but we didn't and bread sauce is just one of my favourite things ever! luckily, i managed to pull off a from scratch bread sauce in just under an hour. TOOT TOOT

just to echo what others have said, you're all a lovely lot and im well aware i overshare sometimes too, but it really does feel like we're a little gang of mates, doesn't it? this is hands down the best community ive ever been involved in online

who'd have ever thought that feeling a bit sceptical about a two bit food blogger would have led to this? ❤

Merry Christmas all! As I put in MT, I had a nightmare and burnt the potatoes but I reminded myself I didn’t make eels and the green stuff and suddenly my failure didn’t seem so bad… They were edible I think but perhaps Mr B and MIL were just being extremely polite.

I did have to try to explain the eels meal to MIL though after I commented on it to Mr B and her expression of sheer horror was the best Christmas gift this year 😂

We've had an excellent Christmas, with the only minor issue being that the Christmas pudding the MIL brought was basically disgusting as she didn't put any sugar in it and the texture was grim. Proper shop bought Christmas pudding is one of my favourite things and I feel slightly deprived.

We (by we I mean my parents) had a Morrisons one. I was meant to bring a marks one but our shop failed to deliver and didn’t have any small ones so my mum had to get one on the way here. Anyway…

It was jammed with alcohol. It was just as well the 2 of us don’t eat it. I could smell the cognac as it was cooking.

Hope everyone has had a day that was doable (whatever that means to them). We are going home tomorrow. Work on Tuesday so we need some time to readjust from herdy sheep being next door rather than students.
