It took YEARS of berating my mother about her just throwing her trash out the window before I think she stopped. Every time she’d pull that shit, I’d give her the “we are five fucking minutes from home. You can throw it away then."

This may be the one and only time I get to feel like I am original, then! I like tattoos on other people, but I have a terribly low pain threshold, and I have never liked a design enough to brave that pain. Now that I am in my mid thirties, I probably never will - and I am ok with that.

“All my friends are non-conformists with identical neck tattoos!” Yeah, I think you have it right.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel about a lot of this. Take Miley Cyrus for example. Is there anything she could do to go make go whoa at this point? Not really, right? But if she showed up one day as Hannah Montana again, now that would be subversive.

Exactly. It didn’t even look like she was crying all that hard; just got kind of teary.

I also get frustrated and cry at times. Nothing excessive or unhealthy, but a very bad work exchange, and definitely car trouble, can make me cry. And I’m 28 and (I like to think) normal mature. I don’t think she should be mocked for caring a lot. She didn’t run out of the room with mascara streaming or cause any…

I would argue the core concept that they’re not conforming. They may not be conforming to the usual business standard, but this is just copying rappers.

The answer here is obvious. She takes down the photo glorifying the defacement, pays the $5,000 fine and issues an apology. (An additional donation to the forestry would probably help grease the wheels on that, considering the 5k is pocket change for her.)

I hope some light will shine through for you soon.

No, apparently that’s not all that matters. We have to delve deep into the psychological depths of her remark about babies and find to misinterpret it, thus we will denigrate her because we’re super hyper sensitive about having/not having children.

Who cares why she chose to stay alive? It worked, and that's what matters, right?

I do see what you mean. And thanks, I’m in therapy and have the best friends in the world.

I can’t blame her for feeling that way. A public loss is difficult. The criticism of athletes who are expected to win but lose or place second intense. You see it all the time with the Olympics. Jordyn Wieber didn’t qualify for the all-around in 2012 and instead of covering the Americans who did qualify, the media…

For some reason seeing Taylor take her performance that seriously makes me like her more. I know some people think it’s an immature reaction, but to me, it shows how much she cares about her career! It’s better than watching Justin Bieber screech through his performance and not seemingly give a shit.

I'll be honest, I'm going through a dark fucking time right now and I empathized with her and found comfort in her telling of her own experience.

For whatever reason, mine went immediately to Aaron Tveit. I think I need a nap.

She’s gotten much better though. I imagine she’s upset because she’s been working hard to get more respect for her vocals.

When you’re in that kind of headspace, you have to go with whatever works, and sometimes it isn’t something that’s going to hit home with everyone else. Hell, mine was, “Who would be willing to adopt my (elderly, timid) cat if I weren’t around? Obviously dying isn’t on the table.”

I can empathize with Ronda’s reaction. When something bad happens to me, I often think about killing myself. I have OCD and suffer from “all or nothing” thinking, which makes me believe if I don’t achieve _x_, or if people think poorly of me, then I might as well be dead. Struggling with those thoughts lately,…

To be fair, I’ve made lots of choices with my desire to have the childrens in mind.
