I think her career is really very different than Dunham's. If you look at her IMDB she's done a ton of small parts and voice work for years, maybe Freaks and Geeks was her first (small) role? She seemed to have hit it big in the Office but has been on a slow burn for years.

I've been dating my current partner for five years, but for the first year or so I was totally the bitchy new girlfriend, and I am completely alright with that. Only because in this case, I was not used to being friends with exes, while my boyfriend totally was, and assumed I would happily accept his ex girlfriends…

I've noticed sometimes with a "you're my type of girl!" in a jokey way off-hand comment, but never anything more than that either pro or con. Maybe it came across more when I was in college. But in all honesty I think the things that are stereotyped as being things guys "love," like a Cosmo version of a "badass chick…

Like John and Yoko!

Great points thank you for articulating that!

See this is a good example. I can't open this article because my internet sucks, but I agree, even though the way beach volleyball is treated by the media definitely skeeves me out, I think it is hypocritical for Jezebel to complain the same time they run Thighlights. At the same time the objectification of women is…

I agree that Thighlights objectifies men, but I think it is different from advertisements like this for a couple of reasons. I think the majority of Jezebel writers and readers understand that people, of both genders and sexualities like to look at attractive people. I don't see Jezebel writing an article every time…

Haha the racist surrounding area definitely. But also I am an Oregonian as well so I automatically think of Ashland whenever someone mentions a Shakespeare fest! I love the color and ability blind casting they do, I've seen some amazing actors that otherwise might have gotten passed over.

Ashland?!

With the high unemployment and extreme hipsterness of my city those jobs would get jumped on right away, but I would love to find something like that for just a limited weekend gig while I'm trying to save up some extra cash to do some traveling next year. I even did one of those promotion girl jobs at some event one…

I would actually love to find a job like that, just on the side to make some extra cash!

This is the best description of the "sexy feminist" phenomenon that has been bothering me and making me feel like I'm the odd one out in the third wave, thanks for articulating that so well!

Jennifer Lawrence is a peach, and the queen of promotions! Now she's got ladies loving her quirkiness and relating to her story, and she's got guys thinking about her boobs.

Once I was on a flight where one of the attendants informed everyone in our row and the rows around us that someone was bringing a pet on, so to let them know if they had any allergies/problems. No one was allergic, so I'm not really sure what they would have done if someone was..

I love leggings! They are comfortable, practical, comfortable, can be worn with most things, comfortable, and as long as you can't see someone's underwear what is the problem? Leggings get so much hate and I don't understand why! Up with leggings!

"You love me or you have squatter's rights, which is it?" is my favorite thing of always

Hahaha I actually do this! I just pictured Snooki and JWow doing it and realized I am the same! I'm a big crier, I cry super easily and I always think if I wave some air into my eyes it will dry them out and make me not leak tears at embarrassing moments.

Ooh yeah that's actually a pretty good idea. I love thekitchn.com!

Haha we are the same age and I had the same thought! Really though I have definitely cut down as I've gotten older, so I'm hoping I can gently taper until I no longer have crazy party nights, rather than deal with the whole cold turkey quitting business....

Thanks! I'm not that interested in tracking my calories, since I usually eat similarly every day and seem to maintain my weight, but I am interested in seeing how my vitamins and minerals stack up!
