I keep a stun gun with me at all times. I would also recommend getting to know your neighbors well, and see if there's a listserv that deals with local issues (like a neighborhood watch) so you'll know what to keep an eye out for.

I have a pair of Saucony sneakers that I love (one of my jobs keeps me on my feet alot). They were recommended in Prevention (?) magazine awhile back as a top pick for walking (as for running, that might be a different story). They come in a variety of colors and as sneakers go, they're about mid-price if you look on…

As a self-sufficient 26-year-old woman, I hate that I'm about to admit this. But the fact is, I can never quite gauge whether or not a guy is genuinely interested in me (as opposed to general friendliness or just being polite). Part of this is due to not much dating experience (only two boyfriends and a smattering of…

Gah, I have an early morning tomorrow. I'll let this kitten demonstrate my feelings on this matter.

BIG GUINEA PIG!

I loved Doctor Donna! Still gutted by that finale.

Oooh, Queer Eye reunion! I'll have my martini shaker ready to go if it happens! It's been far too long since I've heard some Ted Allen and Thom Filicia banter.

I'm usually groaked(?) by my dog.

Wonder-Wench needs to be a superhero.

Let me get bust out my glitter lip gloss and join you!

Take out the creepy bath scene and it's already 10x better (not good, but better).

I'll just leave this here...

I have an orientation for a new job tomorrow and I'm getting nervous. I also have to get up super early and "training" myself to get up earlier gradually over the course of the week didn't really go as well as I'd planned.

This. I'm ashamed to admit, but I too was secretly judgmental of other women in my teens/early 20's. Some of it was my own personal fear of men and sex, and some was residual "clique" crap from high school. Thankfully, I grew out of it. But the fact that the OP is aware of her judgmental attitude and knows it's not…

I once had a piglet named Willow after the character on Buffy (long time pig owner here) since she was timid for the first few seasons.
