Yep.

Typical childless person.

I’ve been fortunate in that in most of the group work, I’m the only person who does what I do (public relations). So in the working world, I might be on a group but I’m the only PR representative so I know I have to do the releases and the social media. It’s easy that way. I hate it though when I get stuck on some…

Yes, I do like it when the professor asks who did which part of the assignment and then grades those areas individually. For one class the very lovely professor would spend the last hour of a 4 hour class letting us work in our groups. That was the best group project ever. We all did what we needed to do. For the…

Group projects are the worst. I could survive them a bit in undergrad because for some reason I thought that they would help prepare me for working on teams in the real world. But now that I’ve worked in the “real world” and am back at grad school, I see how they are worthless and stupid and prepare you for nothing at…

Probably more like the most popular vampire love story of our time. The Bible.

Yep. I bought a button down blue shirt from them. It washed so weirdly that the collar of the shirt puckered. I just threw it in the wash on gentle, cold water. For the same price as that button down, I could have gone to Brooks Brothers and gotten a quality shirt. It’s weird.

Yes, I work on a college campus and I see the youngsters every day and I think “Oh you have no idea how beautiful you all are” but more in a “Own it! You’re young, healthy and fabulous! The world is yours!” kind of way. Not in a creepy “I get older, they stay the same age” kind of way.

You know what? I’ll let the world make fun of Comic Sans but I like the Papyrus font. My first resume was in Papyrus. I’d use it as my default e-mail font if I could. When I think, I think in Papyrus.

Yes, I think I’m in a mid-life crisis of sorts because I did a lot of “should haves” and “it’s expected of you” and “next logical step” and now I’m fairly unhappy with a big chunk of my personal life. I think I would have made different choices if the pressure had been on being happy rather than settling down.

That’s very true. I always try to be respectful of that and I have given friends gifts for when they purchase homes or complete marathons or get masters degrees, etc. We need to celebrate all of our big accomplishments. It shouldn’t just be about having a baby and getting married.

I work at a college and it’s interesting to watch the students as they approach graduation (and just following graduation). They want so badly to feel like “grown-ups” and in this economy there are so few jobs, housing is so expensive. Marriage is the last easily attainable symbol of becoming an adult. I think that’s…

I'm jealous/weirded out by that closeness.

I have two siblings. I can barely handle seeing them numerous times over the holidays. If I had a cable rehab show with either of them (which would be weird because we don’t get along that well and have no home skillz) I would absolutely not also begin a country music career with them. Don’t they ever get sick of each…

That’s from an SNL with Ray Romano! I only know this because after I watched it, I also said “Sweet Sassy Molassy!” way too often.

Playboy is the Blockbuster video of the publishing world. They refused to accept that the world has changed and they are keeping a death grip on the old way of doing things. They should have really worked the whole Girls Next Door angle and done way more with that whole show, opened more clubs, done more products,…

I think you’re right. I subscribe to a number of those online deal sites like RueLaLa and MyHabit. If I need something specific - like a dress for an event - I scour those for months and will find a great dress at a cheap price. I do those personal shopping services a few times a year (like StitchFix) - winter,…

I love how you can hear the exhausted resignation in the woman Nancy’s voice. She’s like “Yeah, I know you have to use it, I know he’s an asshole. . .” We’ve all been Nancy. We’ve all been Alanna. Fortunately we’ve not all been Buchanan.

I have an older sister and all of my friends had older siblings so I generally knew what a condom was - just not what one looked like. It was something men put over their penis so the women wouldn’t get pregnant. But I thought it was hard. And that’s why it broke. Because of Grease I somehow pictured condoms to be…

I read the books and they’re total shit. I watched the movie a few weeks ago when it was on HBO and it was so boring. I fast forwarded through a sex scene because I was bored.
