I always assumed that the strangers-touching-hair thing was fairly universal for all women. Is it not? I'm white with pretty straightforward hair. Nothing extraordinarily curly or thick or long, and I still have random people reaching out to touch it. Mostly creepy men doing their creepy thing, but even other women…

I was the total opposite. Giant people-eating sandworms freak me out. Same thing for Star Wars and Beetlejuice, though Tremors worms were the worst.

Okay. Confession. I once dated a guy who said he wanted to go into politics and be "the next Rick Perry". Now. I was younger then, this was my first "real" boyfriend, it was prior to the GOP's "War on Women", and I wasn't paying any attention to politics, so I basically just interpreted that as "I want to be a…

I bring a towel with me, but only because I dye part of my hair pink and it can stain stuff when it's wet depending on how recently I touched up the color. Figure it's rude to ruin other people's towels, so I bring my own mottled one. :)

Not on topic, but love your name!

Sheesh! I don't blame you! I have a coworker/friend who's an ENFJ. Not the total opposite, but often enough for us to occasionally accuse the other of being a weird freak of nature or something. It was not unusual for me to ask him "You do that on purpose?" and vice-versa. They're weird creatures, those E's and J's.

Yeah, I'm wondering about this whole how-to-get-ungreyed thing, too. It's a stumper.

I dye my hair hot pink, but only the underside. I'm naturally a brunette, and I let the grays in my part gleam white and proud. I don't know what the hell I am apparently, but obviously I'm some form of unemployed klepto. Or something.

It's not fallacious, it's follicious.

Nope. You're not the only one. I'm a lady, and I'm not too keen on them either.

I've said it before, but I think American society is biased toward the extrovert, which is funny considering about half of us are introverts. (It's also biased toward morning people, but that's another soap box.) So I love seeing articles like this that help make being an introvert seem so normal as opposed to some…

Hey. An INTP-er here. I must object to the use of the word "flaky". Sure, I don't always follow through with every project, but I do usually circle back to them. I spent 8 years crocheting the same blanket. In my defense, it was for a king-sized bed, but still. Done. I crocheted other things in the interim, too.…

Any other lit-nerds out there hear about these breastmilk swaps and immediately think of The Grapes of Wrath? No? Just me?

Okay, totally random, but when I googled "echidna" to find out what the heck it is (thanks, btw—I totally love learning new stuff!) the first link after the obligatory Wikipedia entry is a link to a YouTube video called "The World's Most Terrifying Penises: The Echidna".

Well said.

That's my reaction, too. Sad for the kid, angry at the parents. Even if he (hopefully) grows up and realizes all the BS he'd been submerged in his whole life, he'll still have to deal with his racist, bigoted family for the rest of his life or cut ties entirely, which can be so, so hard even when it's so, so necessary.

$30k for giving birth?? One with no complications? For cereal??

I scrolled down specifically to find a comment like this. I knew that others would see the brilliance of a GG presidential ticket. I'd even take Rose as VP. Hell, she's halfway there, having already accidentally discharged a firearm. True, it was a vase and not another person, but it could have been Tom!

Ditto to the above. While I do totally understand parents taking off early for whatever reason, and while I'm willing to schedule my vacation time around school holidays so the parents can have those, it sucks to no end when you seem to be the one who's always putting in the extra hours or whose vacation time is…

Maybe you should try takin' a whack at Ouiser.
