I waitressed, bartended, and cocktail waitressed a bit in my younger days, and I can say there was often a weird undertone of sexism that often came about with mostly older male patrons. And I know I am completely generalizing here so I apologize! But there was such a weird aura of entitlement, where I experienced…

Oh man I want this so bad right now!

I used to drink whiskey and diet cokes all the time in college, but honestly now that I am older and more of a whiskey snob I am too embarrassed to order it at a bar. Now I just either drink the whiskey straight up (which leads to the most drunkenness), or get a vodka soda if I'm feeling "classy."

No way, surely just eating anything in Paris makes the calories at least 50% less! Science!

Haha its the French way!

For some reason dry shampoo makes me really excited about exercising. I used to make excuses not to go running between work and my classes, or if I was meeting friends for drinks afterwards because I didn't want to be all gross.. but then I got this dry shampoo I am weirdly obsessed with so I tell myself after I…

Turbo Kick is one of my favorite exercises ever, I used to force myself to plod away at the elliptical for 30 minutes but once I started taking that class it got me addicted to group exercise classes, and once I started getting in better shape and having fun at the gym I love almost every kind of exercising now!…

Wow off topic but that is an amazing accomplishment, congrats!

Well if you were just going to be sitting around on a couch it's better than nothing. Also I thought that was why the women of Paris stayed so skinny, they walked everywhere while drinking fine coffee and fancy cigarettes??

I know, Bey is only one (or two?) years older than myself and if I go back to look at a photo from 2001 I look pretty similar, just the thinner face, different makeup styles, and different hair. I mean she's only what, 31, we can talk when she turns 50.

I mean she is only, what, 31? But yes Bey is going to be insanely gorgeous forever I think!

See I think Michael Vick has shown that he has made amends in a way that shows he has rehabilitated himself, in a way that Tyson seemingly (from my understanding) has not. In the same way, while I think Vick should absolutely be allowed to make a living, it may be inappropriate for him to get a job at the Human…

This is such bullshit misogynistic right-wing it is impossible to take seriously. Has he SEEN Michelle?! She looks like a fucking movie star, how anyone can critique her appearance with a straight face is mind boggling.

That is so good to know! I'm looking to travel there sometime next year, and while I would love to have my best friend go with my, if she can't make it I don't want to put my dreams on hold!

I completely agree that more women should do this, but as I woman who traveled a bit on my own- I think I just do not have the personality for it! I spent a lot of time thinking how much more fun whatever it was I was doing would be fun if one of my best friends or partner was with me. I'm definitely the type of…

Haha I actually use a one headphone right now just because the other broke!

If I had a minute extra of time on my hands when someone would say this I would say, "what?, what?" asking them to repeat themselves again and again and then just say, "why? what are you talking about? what do you mean?" I got a few "bitch" mumbled at me but I hope I got them worked up enough to stop saying it for a…

"friendzoning" is going to happen if you meet a woman in a friendship situation- at a party, through friends, etc, if you approach a random woman in a cafe or on the street it's pretty obvious that you're interested in her, even if you take your time being polite.

Very well said! When I first started dating my current partner he was good friends with one ex, and I always noticed her writing little facebook comments to him like "remember when we saw such and such show? what a crazy night!" ..."did you dye your hair again?"..."do you still have my such and such DVD?"

I could see situations where remaining friends with an ex is positive, but there definitely needs to be boundaries, and your current relationships must come first. I wouldn't be opposed to it, I just have always moved on, both literally and figuratively. Also I have dated both men and women, which I have found leads…
