Rossi/Russi is number 1. My lastname is on the top 20 list. But, Italians never really had a cognominalizzazione—i.e. there was never a process of giving people surnames. Some people made their own family names, but most come from place of origin, family lineage, or profession. There are some funny ones:

I have never known an Italian/American with the surname Rivera. Anecdata, but I used to live in Italy and am from an Italian family.

Not really. Rivera isn't even a word in Italian. River is "Fiume"

To quote Liz Lemon (or Lesbian Yellow Starfruit): he only wants to hang out late at night? That's a dealbreaker ladies. Let him go. He doesn't want anything serious.

Psh. There's not a single Italian surname on there. NOT COOL.

The alphas are the worst people in the world. I went to school with many traders to be. Just. Say. No.

Holla! ;)

Do not date a trader. You are right there.

I think my utmost support goes unspoken in the situation.

It's been 5 years. And every guy I meet or date is worse than the last. I'm giving up hope. :(

My hot mess friend has had a menagerie of horrible dudes on rotation for like a year. She dates one for a few weeks until he is extra douchey, then moves on to another, and then eventually goes back to the first. I would feel bad for her, but she keeps going back even though they are horrible to her.

You should have consulted Ben Wyatt!

Pray tell, how are you loud enough to be found out?

So, can I specify on my organ donor contract that my organs not go to Republicans?

...and more money. I am a grad student on a meager stipend. I could potentially swing living on my own, but living with roommates means I can live in a more desirable location and in a nicer place for less money.

I bought a lady bike. It is much easier to swing your leg over and I live that I sit up straight (I have a backpack usually). I am 5'2" and I had to buy the smallest frame size, but I raise the seat a lot.

This short Jezzie will tell you that short people get obnoxious comments too. As a woman, nothing about your physical appearance is enough.

Where do you live? A lot of cities have for-fun soccer leagues! Austin had one and so does Minneapolis.

In high school, my friend and I went to water aerobics and the old ladies loved us!! Just be sure to wear a conservative swim suit and I think you will be fine.

BACKSTORY: So, my roommate told me she wanted to move out and that I needed to find a new roommate for when our lease was up if I wanted to stay. I told her I likely wanted to stay, but needed to figure out my summer funding schedule. Then, when I told her I decided to stay, she was like, "Oh, I wanted to talk to you
