Corn is pretty starchy and sugary (probably why I love it). You're not "supposed" to eat it all willy nilly like you "can" with green veggies.

Going on my first diet at 12 with my mother (who has food issues her whole life and exhibited pretty clear signs of disordered eating since she was a teen) was definitely what kickstarted my own issues with food and body image. I suspect it would have been MUCH worse had I not been a fairly serious athlete throughout…

Lindy. Girl. You are bringing the snark and cracking me UP!

I just don't see why erasing pores and wrinkles is such a baseline, necessary part of photo editing for magazines and advertisements. I don't expect celebrities to look like me, I'm not insulted that they edit the photos (all photographers do) to get the image that they intended to get, but I don't get why you never…

Love the idea of doing away with period-related shame, hate the idea of a party. I've always been very shy about body and sex stuff, and while much of that is socialization, of course, I don't think it's so crazy to be private about the most private thing I can think of.

Totally agree re: self esteem and social anxiety issues, especially the depression resulting from a whole shitstorm of ADHD-related things happening at once, that I wouldn't have connected without therapy. I had a big ah-hah moment when I was bitching about stupid I felt being unable to complete a certain task, how…

The question is...do you disclose it to him/her?

Ah, but we sit in chairs!

I've been afraid that the reason I like my therapist so much is that the warmth, understanding and empathy she shows me is all a result of my unintentionally manipulative behavior and I've somehow managed to lie to both her and myself and exaggerate the severity of my issues. Like when I tell myself I'm being as…

It's ridiculous to even allude to the whole "stylist = flamboyant = gay" thing as a relevant theme here. Cinna is notably more reserved of most of the Capitol men in terms of personal style. It's a culture that eschews simplicity.

Cinna's sexuality never once crossed my mind. But reading this post, I get the same feeling I get every time I read something Hunger Games related: Why did I do that....why do I feel the need to indulge?

Capitol Colors hurts my heart and soul. I want to write a strongly worded letter to someone...YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, DO YOU.

I'm thinking that the availability of the various competitors will sway the results in drastic ways and I'm interested in hearing thoughts on this. Surely oral sex is overall "better than" drugstore chocolate for the average sexual person, but if you can have top-tier drugstore chocolate whenever and wherever you…

Good point, thanks for your response. Kids do take very well to having a designated/contained "spot" where they're supposed to be. Plus, the more tired they are, the worse they are at dealing with their emotions.

Whoops, yes, transit. I was thinking of the subway. Interesting point about the safety concerns, I'd never thought of it that way.

I always find it interesting that kids in NYC get seating priority over their parents/elders. I didn't grow up in the city, but I guess I always blindly assumed that kids would get to sit down if there was room, and would stand on their young, healthy little feet if there was an adult (particularly a stranger) who…

I think it would have made the project too much of a headache to clean the house every time you take a picture. It's simple to take a quick snapshop when you're busy if you dont have to worry about shoes on the floor.

Never have I seen a better argument for maintaining a library of good, old fashioned physical media. I'd like to see you use downloadable books as multipurpose, stackable weights!

I suppose that's why many of us with ADHD tend to be very creative. When the mind isn't focused on procedure or priority, it has more freedom to wander and explore ideas.

That was cool to see. When you see her toddler pictures, you can really see her sons' faces. I'd love to be able to see a video like that of myself. (Though I'd only choose flattering images and leave out the parts of my life I care not to be reminded about.)
