This! Totally what I thought. Her expression strikes me more as “Wait... me?”

Thank you for posting that quote—I was just searching for it.

I’m pretty sure we all had a Penelope in high school, if we don’t still have one around now..

God damn you beat me to it.

I hate to say it, but when Damon Wayans, Jr. was on it’s like they didn’t know where Winston fit into the group anymore. He got totally overshadowed and the writing for his character seemed really muted or something. He was my favorite part of the show before Coach and is again now. BEST lines.

Exactly. And saying she has “all the right junk in all the right places” isn’t empowering. It’s still pointing out there are people who have the right junk in the “wrong” places.

As someone who makes her living in AE, I can’t believe I’ve never thought to use the turn of phrase “After Effect-ed.” Bless you.

I LOVED that piece. Meriweather is adorable. “I said things like “it’s an honor” and “huge fan” because it seemed like the kind of thing I was supposed to say. But I knew, all the way in Minnesota, Prince could tell he was speaking to a person who had, moments ago, spit a dumpling out of her mouth.”

I was thinking this. The “if you’re scared of her, she’ll be scared of you” thing sounded odd and a bit sideshow-y, yes, but I can relate because it kind of sums up how I am around people. I can’t even imagine having the kind of life where excited people are around you all the time. But then again, it explains the…

If I’m being honest, I still listen to that song at a minimum of four times in a row when I play it.

SUCH a great album. I was obsessed with Fear Fun when it first came out. Say what you will about his lyrics. I think the couple they usually pull out for articles calling him skeezy have been exaggerated or misinterpreted, but whatevs. I have tickets to see him in Atlanta on my birthday and am incredibly excited about…

*ahem*

And Miss Celine!

My thoughts exactly. He’s been a little shit plenty of times the last few years, but I don’t know that I would wish that part of celebrity on anyone—mainly wading into a sea of hormones-emitting, lovesick, and starstruck tween and teen girls. Night after night no less. I remember my own NKOTB mania circa 1991 or so,…

Ah, Tommy Girl. SO senior year of high school. I kept a bottle in my glove box and sprayed it right before I got out of my car in the mornings. The car smelled like that perfume long after I stopped wearing it.

Much better.

I feel a little funny saying this after that statement, but also having a father and grandfather who were carpenters/woodworkers, I now buy my husband any fragrance I can get my hands on that smells of sawdust and cedar. I’m not going to think too hard about it.

I have so many of those. I never throw away bottles though (unless I have more than one of the same kind, obvs) because even if you don’t like how they smell on you now, going back and taking a whiff later on is like time travel.

I bought a bottle of this stuff when I eloped, so it has a sentimental hold on me, but I’m still in love with it. It’s just an oil-based rollerball but it sinks in so nice on my skin and stays put longer than you’d think.

Oh that was my fancy scent in high school. My signature was Anais Anais, people always complimented me on it and knew me by it. Then in college I stopped wearing it, and then bought a bottle in my early 20's, and it smelled AWFUL on me. I couldn’t figure it out. Maybe it was a bad bottle, maybe my body chemistry…
