Over 100 Journalists Have Been Killed In Gaza Since October 7th.

one thing i realized a while ago is that some crushes are better left as crushes. sometimes, you only like someone because you don’t know enough about them to dislike them.

6 Ways to Survive Parties as an Introvert

There’s a reason why introverts aren’t usually particularly fond of parties—too much stimulation and small talk, but not enough authenticity and quiet. And yet, like most things in life, sometimes parties are inevitable. So, why do we do it? Why do we spend long Friday nights out feeling lonelier than when we’re alone? Because despite hating the peer pressure we face making bad decisions, we hate not participating even more. We hate not knowing. But there are ways to make good decisions and enjoy parties, rather than seeing them as mere social obligations. Psych2Go shares with you 6 ways to survive parties as an introvert:

1. Know when it’s worth it to go out.

It’s okay to be selective about which parties to attend. In fact, it’s smart to choose what works best for you. You don’t have to go to every event you’re invited to. It’s similar to dating. If we spent all our time trying to date everyone, it would lose meaning. We’re not compatible with every person that we meet, and the same applies to parties. It’s okay to skip out on weddings, dinners, and social gatherings to people you barely know…

The "truce" had ended as of 20 minutes ago. This means the Israeli warplanes will be back to bombing all parts of Gaza and god know what the next few days will look like

Just a reminder though that Israel never abided by the "ceasefire", and had in fact been shooting at Palestinians who were trying to make their way back to their homes in northern Gaza

Honest to god why is no-one on this website talking about ‘Emo the Musical’ like that film is gold and no-one can tell me otherwise. Like Peters lover checks into a gay correction clinic/hospital at the end cause they love eachother so much and like that, my friends, is a real OTP.

. . .

David was editing.

Correction David had been editing for about seven hours.

And when David edits he ignores the entire world. If he can he'll just sit alone in his room with the door locked but most of the time he just tuned out all his friends.

This was one of the times that David sat on the couch with noise cancelling headphones as his friends did whatever as long as they didn't bother him.

Y/n glanced at him and pouted returning her attention back to the group.

"I'm just saying that I don't understand." Zane shrugged.

"I'm not asking you to understand, I'm asking you to respect it." Jeff said.

"It's an abomination."

"Zane that was harsh-"

"No it's not." The two glared at eachother before y/n joined in.

"I'm with Zane, pineapple does not belong on pizza end of story."

"Thank you!"

"Um you're wrong." Jeff and Zane went back to arguing. Y/n rolled her eyes taking a seat next to David. She leaned her head on his shoulder and watched as he continued to click away at the screen.

"Hey." Y/n kissed his cheek but David didn't spare her a glance.

"Hey."

"Do you wanna watch a movie later?" David nodded.

"Really?"

"Oh yeah that sounds great babe." Y/n sighed.

"You're not listening to me are you?"

"Mhm what else happened?" Y/n groaned.

"I'm leaving the country. Jason and I are eloping I hope you'll understand."

"That's great."

"If you can give me a nongeneric answer right now I'll buy that expensive dress you loved so much."

"I'm sure." Y/n rolled her eyes grabbing one aide of the headphones and letting it slap back to his face.

"Ow!"

"Oh so you're paying attention to me now?" David offered a nervous smile embarrassed about being caught.

"You look really pretty?"

"Sure." David frowned glancing at his computer then back at y/n.

"I'm sorry I have to finish this. We can talk all you want later." Y/n sighed.

"Dave its not about that its about you needing to rest. I feel like I'm basically your mother at this point which concerns me because I'm not responsible at all." David laughed leaning in and pecking her lips.

"I'll be done soon, I promise." She gave him a quick kiss.

"Okay."

Now since then three hours had passed and he still hadn't moved from his dent in the couch.

"You know, I really miss David." Y/n dramatically said looking at David with puppy eyes.

"I miss him too, what happened was such a tragedy." Zane shook his head and patted y/n's back.

"I still can't believe he died from an alligator attack. We live in California! Only David would think a bit with an alligator was a good idea."

"In the alligator's defense, everything was fine until he pointed a laser pointer info it's eye."

"What a way to go out." David groaned moving one the head phone sides to rest on his head.

"Stop pretending I'm dead. I just said I didn't want to cuddle right now because I'm editing." Y/n faked a sob wiping away a fake tear.

"Sometimes I can still hear his voice."

"Telling you that he just needs to edit a little more then never getting off of that ugly couch?" Y/n faked a sniffle.

"Exactly."

"It's not ugly!" He defended and y/n fake gasped.

"Wait did you hear something?" Y/n looked around the room.

"I fucking hate you." Y/n's head snapped into David's direction and her jaw dropped.

"David, is that you?!"

"Shut up."

"I can't believe my love has returned!" David's annoyance turned into a soft expression. The room went quiet but everyone had excited smiles.

"You're what?" Y/n stopped confused.

"What do you mean my what?"

"I'm you're what?" Y/n scoffed in confusion.

"You're my lo-" y/n froze. The roomed awed as y/n stood horrified.

"I- David I'm sorry-" David got off the couch completely forgetting about the laptop and headphones to embrace her.

Y/n wrapped her arms around him grinning until he pulled back and kissed her passionately. When he pulled away he had a giant smile on his face.

"I can't believe you got to say it first! Not fair." Y/n laughed.

"I'll take that as an I love you too." David kissed her again

"Of course I love you."

"If I knew this is what if took for you to get off the couch I would've said it hours ago." David rolled his eyes.

"Is now the time for jokes?"

"It's always the time for jokes when I'm around, that's why you fell in love me."

Water Tower

Jay Kelso x Runck Teen

-hiiii!!! I really enjoyed That 90s show and wanted to write some one shots for it so lmk what you think!!

Camila nodded along as she listened to Leia ranting about not having her first kiss. She hadn't spoken up in fear of being questioned. Her crush was in the vicinity of over hearing that she was inexperienced and she wasn't trying to embarrass herself.

Camila had had the hugest crush on Jay Kelso since middle school, but since he was her brother's best friend she refused to even attempt to flirt with him. Looking up to see her sister's eye verge to hers she quickly looked down at her magazine. "Hey, Cam, how come you never told us about yours?"

Feeling everyone's attention on her, she played it cool and kept looking at the magazine, shrugging it off, "cause it's not a big deal." Her older brother scoffed from his spot next to his girlfriend, seemingly coming up for air for once, "yeah right, you've never kissed anyone. You can't keep anything to yourself." Boy was he wrong, she rolled her eyes looking at him with a glare before looking back at the magazine.

"Wait," Leia erupted in panic, "Camila, one of the coolest girls in town, hasn't even been kissed?! How do I even stand a chance if she hasn't even been kissed?!" The brunette rolled her eyes, closed her magazine and stood up, "no, and fyi, it's not that serious. Your first kiss should have meaning behind it, not just something to pass off," she told the newest group member before walking past the one person she couldn't look at and out the basement door.

Deciding she needed a break from everyone, the Runck middle child made her way to the water tower. She climbed all the way up and sat in her usual spot, back against the tower and legs straight out. The green eyed girl closed her eyes and listened to the sounds around her. Sometimes being around people became a lot so Camila tended to find a small getaway, which was normally either the tower or a hidden spot by the lake she'd found on one of her walks.

The clinking sound of someone climbing up snapped her back to reality. Her eyes opened just in time to meet the brown ones she had tried to avoid most of the time. Jay gave her a bright smile as he finally made it up, "hey, I thought you'd be here." Giving a small smile, she leaned her head back and closed her eyes again, "you thought correctly."

She heard him let out a chuckle and the metal underneath gave away his position as he sat next to her, "you know, you shouldn't let them get to you." Sighing, she opened her eyes and looked at their town that looked tiny from their high point of view, "how can I not when Gwen just made me the laughing stock of the group to make her new bestie feel better?"

She felt his fingers slip in between hers as he moved to hold her hand, which she allowed, and he scooted closer to her, "because she's just jealous. You don't try and she has to." Rolling her eyes, Camila looked up to insult herself but was quick to come to the realization of their closeness which made her mind go blank. Jay's eyes stared back into hers and he gave her a kind smile, "I think it's sweet that you're waiting for the right time for your first kiss."

Trying to keep her breathing steady, she felt her lips curve up, "really?" The brunette gave her a nod, "yeah, it's kind of cute actually." Grinning, Camila laid her head on his shoulder and looked back to the view. It really was peaceful up here. They sat in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's company, before he spoke up again, "was-um, was there anyone you had in mind?"

The Runck teen's face began to heat up, she felt her heartbeat speed up. She could lie and tell him no, but what if she said yes and he asked who it was? Would she tell him? That would be a disaster.

Sitting up straight she shook her head, "no, i- um, I hadn't really thought about it." Their eyes met again and she could see his cheeks turning red, "well whoever it is, he'll be lucky to have your first kiss." Biting her lip she decided to take the chance, "actually- I had one person in mind," her eyes dropped to their hands, "he's a really great friend of mine and he treats me like I'm a princess anytime we're doing anything-"

"H-he sounds great," his voice broke and his grip loosened making her meet his eyes again to see how saddened he was, even when he tried to cover it up. Tightening her grip on his hand, she moved to sit on her knees and face him, "yeah, he is, because he's you Jay." The teens brown eyes snapped to her green ones fast in shock, "you wanted me to be your first kiss?"

Feeling all her confidence fade she looked back down at their still connected hands, "I've actually been wanting to ask you to be my first boyfriend, you don't have to-" His other hand gently pulled her face up so their eyes could meet, "I'd love to be your boyfriend Camila," with that he leaned in and met her soft, unkissed lips.

She quickly accepted and kissed back, her other hand laying on the hairs on the back of his neck. She'd never imagine that Jay would actually want to kiss her, let alone actually kiss her. Yet here she was, floating on cloud nine. His lips were so soft, and he moved so expertly making her pray that she was half as good.

When they pulled away, panting for air, and their eyes met Jay had the biggest smile on his face, "I've been waiting to do that for years." Giggling, she pecked his lips and sat back on the metal, "me too. You are a really good kisser by the way." The teen next to her laughed and played with her hand that was still in his, "thanks, so are you, for someone inexperienced you kiss like you've been at it for years." She giggled and laid her head back on his shoulder, feeling perfectly content with the fact that they'd actually admitted their feelings to each other. Maybe Gwen wasn't such a bad sister.
