That is a wonderful mom gift, I bet she will love it.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with the memories of your dog. I do remember when you originally posted this. I wish I had better advice, but the only thing I can think of is to talk to a mental health professional about your feelings. I bet they could help. Big hugs.

Writer's block is the worst. I know two tricks for academic paper writing. First, imagine you had to explain your topic to your best friend. What would you say? Second, do not worry about sounding stupid or being perfect, just sit down and write for twenty minutes. Or five minutes, whatever you can manage. Just get…

Thanks for the reply. I wonder if I would be prescribed anything. It would be so wild to feel happy/normal, without having to depend on love from him. I have decided I do want to save up and take a big trip sometime in the next year, I'm thinking either Hawaii or maybe Alaska to see the Northern Lights. In the…

Yes, open thread. I've been waiting for this! So, as many people here know my relationship with my boyfriend of six years has been slowly and very painfully coming apart over the past few months. I'm finally getting to a place where I can recognize that this might really be the end. As in over for good, never see him…

There was a special edition of the Princess Bride that came out...I wanna say like 10 years ago, I'm not sure, and it had a whole section in the back that talked about the movie being made. You should check it out if you haven't already, it has some very sweet stories about Andre the Giant.

Hahaha :)

Oh my god, that sounds terrifying. So scary. *Sending positive vibes your way*

Happy Birthday!

I am so confused by the way he's holding that cup. What is going on there?? Weirdo..

Poor Brittany. I always adored her, she seemed like such a sweet person. It's so sad that she died when she was so young, and if she was poisoned that makes it even worse.

Thanks! Hope you have a great first day, too!

Thank you!

Cool! I want to give this a try sometime. I bet your friends/family love getting these at Xmas.

Don't Stand so Close to Me! Also by the Police :D

That sounds like such a good idea! I can't wait to try this with my boyfriend.

Infused liquor, that sounds awesome. Do you use any particular recipe (that you could link to, perhaps??) or do you just make it up as you go?

I'm starting a new job on Monday, and I am so nervous! I'm very shy, and it doesn't help that I was fired from my last job after only 2 weeks (not my fault, but it still doesn't help my confidence). Basically I'm terrified already. I've never had a job like this, either - a typical 9-5 cubicle job.

That was...sad. I feel bad for her. It's totally normal to abstain from sex if you want to, but she sounds very unhappy about it. If a friend of mine shared that with me, I would recommend a therapist, maybe even a sex therapist.

Well if you want the second and third ones for free, I got them at 4shared.com. They should have it as a pdf or a .mobi file. Let me know what you think!! I am the biggest hunger games fan, it's embarrassing how much I love it :)
