I cannot abide these girls. I just can't. They'll bitch out any other girl mentioned in conversation and completely ignore you in what THEY believe is a "guylike" manner, or they'll be catty as you mentioned.

If they don't make Dalek-themed wedding gifts with the word "CONJUGATE" on them they're missing a huge target market.

Ditto. What is it? Do I even want to Google it?

Oh, Christ, me too. I can't bring myself to estimate the percentage, but I'm pretty sure if I followed that new food pyramid thing I'd end up going into carb withdrawal.

Oh, I used to be fat for religious reasons too because my true religion actually was and continues to be carbohydrates. My metabolism shifted after puberty, so I don't have that religious side effect now. ;)

Heavy metal in the earphones always seems to work on long trips where I need to stay awake. I'm pretty sound-dependent - can't get to sleep without the right kind of music/noise playing - and there's not a damn thing in the world that can make growling/wailing guitars/drum riffs soothing.

I listen to Kathy Griffin and Wanda Sykes for the same exact reasons. Word.

Oh, god, this. If I'm staying the night at a female friend's place we both know damn well that we're going to be up till 2. If I'm with a lady friend (to be distinguished from "female friend" by the characteristic that there is banging involved with a "lady friend"), there's at least an hour of one of us…

Exactly! Most of my brown belt and up stuff was "today, we are going to learn Way #434 to break someone's trachea; this will be on the physical test next week to pass for [x belt color]." I've been debating getting back into it for some time now ("martial arts or rugby, martial arts or rugby" is the soundtrack of my…

As someone who's been in the opposite situation before a few times - someone's type down to the eye color and movie preference, but a sexual orientation that precludes that someone - he knows, and we're used to it. Promise. And if he's at all decent - and it sounds like he is! - he will not judge you for it. It may be…

I have a close friend that I know is sexually attracted to me (because he's admitted it). Thing is he knows he has no shot because he's well aware that I'm a lesbian - and he is fortunately not one of those assholes trying to "change" me or get in on a threesome, before that possibility is brought up. He gets other…

Or "I totally hate not being the center of attention and have internalized misogyny to the point that I am incapable of believing most women are anything but stupid children, and I cannot allow myself to be perceived as one of THOSE women."

I have run into so many "guys' girls" that are super aggressive about being "guys' girls" lately, and those alllways seem to be the ladies that guys talk about when they're having a "ladies are crayzay" pow-wow.

I never got "juice cleanses." As someone who used to fast a long, long time ago for religious reasons (yay Catholic school! Never mind you're not even technically supposed to until you're, what, 14, let the second-graders fast!), I seem to recall that eating just a little bit when you're totally starving yourself…

Depending on the martial art and the studio under that art, model-mugging type situations may even be part of the curriculum. When I was still training (Tang Soo), my instructors put us through "prep situations" on a regular basis - muggings, 2-man muggings, being assaulted while trying to get to a car - and it was, I…

This woman is fucking awesome and I see nothing wrong with how she handled herself-except perhaps that she had to use force at all, but some people are fucking awful human beings, obviously, and that bus driver is one of them. Shame he probably won't get much punishment for the attempted rape.

Yep.

Huh. I AM East Coast (no argument about the Catholicism, still seems to be pretty strict here) and for us it was normal that one get Confirmed in the 8th grade.

What the actual fuck.

I'm the kind of girl whose closet is half from the men's side of the store and half from the women's and I KNEW I'd wear that tux again if I had to (some of my parents' friends are starting the round of second marriages, and let's face it, I'm not wearing a dress to their black-tie events because I don't have a…
