I burned like a little bitch all last week. Unfortunately I have Greek and Sicilian blood hiding inside my 50% Irishwoman’s body so I have this weird olive tan taking over my beautiful pale freckles (with dramatic accompanying tan line). I need to stay away from 110+ degree weather lest my secret be known.

Yeah there’s nothing wrong with being influenced by other eras. I know I look damn good in 50s style fit-n-flare, and my hair teases very nicely into a bouffant ala the 60s. But am I about to give up my nice regulated prescription drugs, colour television, ability to work by myself for decent(ish) as a single woman…

Yes, I’ve got that now... I’ve seen her appear on several lists of “Blonde celebs you won’t believe are ACTUALLY ginger” so I was under the impression her natural colour was strawberry blonde.

Lucille Ball is not a natural redhead. Lucille Ball was a natural brunette.

My dad STILL tells me the same about all the zoo animals and I’m almost 30, I would hope he was joking..

One of my best friends in college as we were packing to go home said something like, “and haha those first few weeks!” implying we were at each other’s throats or something and I was so confused. All I remembered was perfectly nice interactions.

My friend and I were just talking about this, with reference to myself (homeschooled through highschool and so with a lesser grasp of social cues) and another similarly sheltered friend. I realised the second I went to college that I was “missing something” and kind of worked over time playing catch up, and while…

There is a “classic all american” burger joint (or so it claims) in my town that serves burgers (with arugula, grilled mushrooms, aoili, and other fancy shit) for $18. I assumed this came with fries. False. If I want their “garlic seared truffle fries” I need to pay an extra $9. I have been there once. I mean, this is…

Depends on the store. At both stores I currently work at, it’s a customer service thing to ask to keep your items at the register: if your hands are free, you’ll pick up more items and buy more. And we have to talk to you constantly or we get in trouble, which to many people feels like being followed or targeted,…

Is this news? My good friend (probably a good two levels above me in the income bracket, went to private catholic school that costs $40k a year, best colleges, etc) steals makeup testers and samples, silverware from restaurants “only if it’s pretty”. I have other friends who are like me and well under the poverty line…

I mean I’m not getting paid, I’m just getting free shit (that I say “I got this for free, I thought it was good (or) bad (or) awful never buy it! and if you want to try it, I have a few coupons!” but I don’t really see a problem with people who do get money for doing the exact same thing.

Can’t speak for your friend, I’m a member of one company called BzzAgent who sends out samples of new products (pretty much anything, the newest flavour of PopChips, razors, cereals) to sample and review on social media, along with coupons and discount codes to share with friends. So I personally don’t have a problem…

I use my sister’s Liver Cleanse tea every now and again and it’s just fennel and dandelion. So I don’t know. I would just look at the ingredients. I don’t even use it for “cleansing” purposes, I just like fennel and dandelion and it’s cheap.

I have a really hard time being offended by this. Are we bothered by actual celebrity commercials? What’s the difference? Maybe it’s because I do things like BzzAgent, but I would always assume any product hawked by a celeb they were getting paid for or received for free in exchange for endorsement.

I hate talking on the phone in public because I have a really loud phone voice and i can’t help it.

Well then you shouldn’t talk to passengers, or listen to music, or sing to the radio...

Hmmm, I think hands free use is legal everywhere. Most recent cars have a jack to plug in your phone too, so you can talk through car’s system.

I’ve had one period in the last three years (ever since switching birth controls). The one time I did get my period, I was sharing a dressing room with three women who aren’t on any kind of stabilizer and we just synced up. It was miserable. Periodically i’ll spot one day during the “white pill” time, but it’s nothing…

They’re called wedges. They are much more comfortable and stable than “normal” heels because the bottom of the shoe is flat, but I HATE them. However, they’re pretty much required for graduations because the majority of them take place on grass.

I have been to Winnemucca. It was the worst experience of my life. Now you’re telling me there was something redemptive there the whole time???
