Hey, I can't completely blame people for having knee-jerk reactions to any talk about our appearances because some people have been subjected to really cruel shit because of their bodies and those old feelings are easy to trigger on accident. But yah, attempting to stay level-headed about it is a more likely way to…

I mean, it's not exactly unique that most brides get married in near-identical $1k dresses that are the same, exact, ivory strapless pouf shape. Seems like the only way to really have a unique dress is to be the wackiest millionaire on Offbeatbride.com and get one that's neon-striped and trimmed with troll dolls or…

I know, right? There are so many lovely shapes and sizes a person can be. Why can't we appreciate at least, I don't know, two of them at the same time?

I think the scorn for thinness and blondeness is just backlash because that's what women used to constantly be told they were supposed to look like and what men used to be told they were supposed to be attracted to. I'm blonde and thin and I've dated a lot of guys who told me weird things like, "I've never been…

I think it was a renegade operation — our nemesis was this guy called "The Inspector," who'd show up regularly and go through all our stuff. So I suppose the concept hadn't survived.

At least people from within the region know that the true stat is that it's got nearly 100% awesome people.

Oh yah, I had a roomie from Green Bay for a while and she put cheese on EVERYTHING. It's a good life.

Yah, I'm not really one to get nitpicky about my weight, but I lost a lot, the last time I moved from Illinois to California. Illinois has arctic winters and good public transportation; California has balmy weather and I have to walk a lot to get around cos I have no car and BART has like, three stations.

I think the appeal is that for a few seconds, you get to hear that in some reality, you are cool and your life is an adventure. Maybe you just got out of college and entered (or tried to enter!) the workforce and realized how little is possible in life. Or, like me, you turned 30 in the past few years and realized…

My patronus is a Darth Vader.

Okay, my sister and I did pretend-play a couple of characters who had actual day jobs. They were realtors... in a post-apocalyptic, quasi-Soviet dystopia full of adventure and political intrigue. Which you accessed via some kind of trans-dimensional elevator (mom's closet).

Are there kids out there whose toys have steady jobs and play at like, commuting on the train and filing paperwork all day? Was I playing wrong when all my characters and toys had lifestyles more like Pippi Longstocking than some pants-suit-wearing accountant?

Has balut been mentioned in one of these lists, yet? It's the one thing I can think of that I would never eat on a dare.

I had no idea meat could even taste good until I moved away from my mother's paranoid, over-cooking ways...

Oh my goodness, I need to go on an oyster tour of the gulf and east coast and compare them to our Pacific stock!

Yah, what's up with that? You'd think people would forgo getting carved up for the sake of changes that can be made at the gym.

It's not that all of us are idiot anti-vaxers — you're hearing about it constantly because the rest of us are raging against the anti-vaxers all the time. I like to think there aren't *really* that many people who want us all to die of measles.

I didn't get into it until episode seven. Then suddenly it was so damn interesting.

I watched West Side Story last week and still can't handle the realization that Ben Horne and Dr. Jacobi from Twin Peaks are the same people as Tony and Riff.

Her name is Pigwidgeon McMonkey McBean.
