It is a terrible and easy trap to fall in to. It's definitely embarrassing to think about all the dudes I LURVED because of their combination of outward dickishness/occasional tenderness. Sure he's rude and likes to taunt me and challenge my intellect so that he always seems smarter than me but HE LOVES ME DEEP…

100%. All of this.

Healthcliff kills his wife's puppy by hanging it with a handkerchief!! I don't think that made it into the Laurence Olivier version....but it is totally in the book. Mr. Darcy he was not. Besides, I'll take Rochester (crazy wife in the attic and all) anyday. His brooding crabbiness is totally hot..and, no, that didn't…

GOOD.

The best one I ever heard was Manifest Destiny's Child. It was a bunch of history teachers, too, which made it even better.

She better hope Michelle Williams doesn't become a brunette b/c how else will we finally tell these white women apart?

Lobbying for Christina Aguilera as Robot Samantha.

High five your boyfriend for me, please.

Last election a dude was hanging out by the polling place with big, graphic, bloody anti-abortion signs and harassing passers by on their way to/from voting. When we walked past, he yelled, "do you think killing babies is okay?" My bf just looked at him and said, "Yes." And we walked away.

I think that people don't like to examine the broader impact of their actions because to do so would make them feel guilty.

Or how they were an ugly duckling/weren't popular in high school. Where can I find a scathing celebrity interview?!

They are SO formulaic and I hate reading them now.

Me too, I dislike most cooked vegetables and I don't want broccoli to even look at my food.

Oh, he WISHES that he were able to dole out "consequences." Instead he's just a pathetic loner pretending to be an abuser of women because he thinks it's edgy and cool. What a joke. Why are we even paying attention to people like this?

Amen, lady.

So fucking a living starfish is cool?

Honestly, the covers don't really matter to me. I look at the headlines, and if they draw me in then I'll take a look inside. Then, maybe I'll buy the magazine. But I don't buy mags too often. Like Dodai said, there's so much to read online for free that even in an airport I prefer my iPad over a magazine.

Whoa. Some of this was surprising and disappointing. I don't know you at all, but I have come to really appreciate and be inspired by your work from you linking to it here a while back, and the 'fat and unhealthy' venom kind of sucked to read.
