I will never understand anyone that cut off all of their Barbies' hair. Blasphemy!

I've never been in an actual relationship, but everything else? My friends have to DRAG it out of me. It's like a game of 20 questions. I just get so embarrassed. Family gets basically zero details. I am trying hard to get better at sharing things with people, because the reason I hold back is out of fear of…

I was watching Rent recently, and I remembered how much I love the "Out Tonight" scene. It's sexy and bold and uninhibited, and I love the song. Rosario Dawson just fully owns her character, and it makes me totally wish I had that sort of confidence, especially in regards to my sexuality.

GO MOM! Now an awesome dog has a loving home, and a loving home has a dog!

The laughing gas!!! (Nitrous oxide) I love that lightly-stoned feeling. I have weak/shitty teeth and have had a lot of cavities filled and other little things done. The one time I got "the gas" AND an anesthesia injection, I was just staring googly-eyed at the ceiling like, "oh, ok, just do whatever..." I was finding…

Radiolab, & Sex Nerd Sandra!

Early fall is such a weird time of year for me. There are so many transitions, and it marks the passage of time for me much stronger than, say, New Years. Kinda hopeful, kinda melancholy.

Summoning all photographers! I am an amateur/hobbyist that has been asked by a friend to take a few engagement pics for her save-the-date, and I would love some tips on how to not fuck it up.

All my fears = JUSTIFIED! Argh!

Thank you for your input! Much appreciated.

Thank you! The therapist from the group actually offered to let me come in, no charge, to wrap things up, so I think I will start there. Might make for a good transition, perhaps. The only thing is that Therapist #1 was really inexpensive and I don't know if I can find anything as affordable.

So...I kind of think my therapist of 2+ years doesn't want to work with me anymore and has phased me out without telling me. I either feel relieved or abandoned and I can't decide which (or both). On one hand, I don't think she was necessarily the greatest match for me (I never felt 100% comfortable being completely…

I had a similar experience when I was 4 or 5. I loved getting my hair done in various styles, so to me, the more braids, the better! One of my friends at school was a black girl who came to school with her hair done in a bunch of little braids with barrettes on the ends. I loved it so much that I insisted my (white)…

Same thing would happen to me to some capacity. My thing was tardiness (split between arrival time to class and assignment deadlines). My friends would wonder how I got away with it, but I really did care about what I was learning and saw the value of the assignments. I put a lot of effort into my work and…

"Jolene" is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's got all of the right qualities: simple, poignant lyrics, a catchy tune and key that matches the mood of the song, soulful vocals, instrumentals that are lovely on their own but don't overwhelm the song, and it all works together to make you feel like you know exact…

She seems really sharp in all these recent clips and appears to be genuinely having a good time. Go Linds! It takes a backbone to lead so strongly with the self-deprecating shit when you know you're drawing viewers based on your image as a train wreck, so I applaud the courage.

It's less unbelievable when you realize the extent of the training and the cult/brainwashing tactics they use. They target specific types of people and exploit their vulnerabilities. It's very, very powerful.

Well hello. I present to you, one of my favorite songs from Shakira's angsty teen phase, in the form of her 1999 MTV Unplugged special. Join me down Memory Lane, to a time where leather bootcut pants were cool and she had a giant frizzy red mane of hair. Plus...mariachi!

It was a really telling moment when a secretly-really-insecure friend of mine "explained" that the reason pubic hair is gross is because it spreads lice/crabs, and that's why you don't see it in porn, and kind of inferred that shaving or waxing it all off is basically just what you DO, and what guys expect.
