@MissFiFi: She is one of my heroes. Also, the wind beneath my wings.

@ThatGirl7: I don't know, really. It's kind of hard for this not to affect a person, even though I have no problems with the way I look and the people I attract. Every time your family members who are supposed to know and accept you let slip how fat you are (Bulgarians are a nation which fetishises small measurements)…
@myprozacdream: Actually, the problem is rooted in the fact that we both have the same mesomorphic body type and a fair amount of extra effort would allow me to be as well-built as her, despite the PCOS and Hashimoto's. But just like your example, this just means that she can easily transfer her issues onto me. (She's…
@LadyTudorRose: Forever Amber is basically Gone With the Wind but in England. I hope there would be men who'd be interested.
@Oberschaetzchen: Oh, damnit, I remembered I saw you mention Clarke but forgot you listed Carter as well, so I mentioned her in my post. But high-five, fellow-taste-haver.
Since Clarke, Atwood, Roy and Lessing have been mentioned, I have some fantasy recs:
@Allow Your ____ To Be Free: We're part of a small but quickly growing club of women who say "fuck worrying about having that experience with the right person - I am the right person." No regrets.
@SQ85: "Women just can't win."
My completely weight-obsessed sister comes over and lives in my apartment every summer (for free) to make some money for school. I have a complete moratorium on conversations about food or anyone's weight or appearance and she STILL manages to sneak in something about how fat she thinks I am (think Starbuck or our…
@morninggloria: Haha. Please tell me by mask you mean a merkin.
@UrbanAchiever: Aw, thank you.
Blah, blah, blah, sand in his foreskin, blah, blah, blah.
@Athensjail: USSRs in their case as they do seem Moldovan. Western powers who fucked Eastern Europe once more after WWII as they did during the Ottoman Empire in the case of the rest of Iron Curtain countries.
@KayKins: Except for the people who did this to them. I never wish anyone death but I wish those traffickers and "clients" get to experience how it feels just long enough for them to denounce all their worldly goods and walk weeping bloody tears and barefoot into a monastery.
@Lorin: I blame all the sugar in the Skittles for chuckling for so long at this that my sister came to my room to ask if I'm okay.
Ms. Bloom, I realize you've been rooting around in my mind and I appreciate my dirty dreams being turned into a song, (deft touch with the cleavage there) but you will never be forgiven for deleting Mr. Poe from said dreams and turning the hot, drunken threesome into a twosome.
@Mercutia: In some cultures the family is the most fervid "punisher" as this is seen as the only way to wash out the shame they've been assigned.
@Sazelus: Half of my friends are dating people in foreign countries but most of them were met through work/work travel. One of my friends is now engaged and moving to the US next year. Another is planning his move to Brazil. Another one's American girlfriend just moved here to Oslo. I, on the other side can't see…
