Rainsong is perfect...it's like you foresaw River Song from Doctor Who! Yeah, I've grown used to being a Jennifer, and I'm amazed that at work we have tons of Susans but only two other Jennifers (out of 200 people in 10 branches). I would no longer change it, but it was HIGHLY annoying when I was young.

I think in high school it was the worst, since we had multiple grades in some of my classes (biology, chemistry, etc.). My favorite is in biology, when we had four Jennifers in the class, and we sat in alphabetical order, which resulted in all four of us being in the front row. The teacher would just say "Jennifer"…

When I was younger, I wanted to be Celeste. I don't know why...I really just loved the way it sounded. But then, as a Jennifer, I have a very, very common name.

I love watching House Hunters and House Hunters International. I know it's 99% staged, and sometimes they've even already purchased the home before the show begins, but I don't care. I watch it so I can look inside the homes (and I often fastforward through all the other stuff). I call it my house porn.

Yeah, this is a typical type of library program for teens. Even if the covers used were actual book covers and not printouts, I think people should realize that when library programs "vandalize" (or repurpose or alter) books, it's because they are falling apart or are in such poor condition that they cannot be…

It was a mess up? Like when they handed children pictures of skinned rabbits at The Nutcracker? (True story!)

Just want to add this:

Isn't it common for events like these to be recorded previously? I've been given to understand that acoustics do weird things, and it's often a better show when not sung live (especially with all the jumping up and down being done).

Aww, now I'm sad I didn't watch the ball foot thingie tonight. I love Bruno Mars...he has a beautiful voice.

I've read two John Green books now - this one and Looking for Alaska. Honestly, I enjoyed them, but I didn't LOVE them like most people. (I did cry like a baby reading both of them, however.)

My bad. I should have said Nazi uniform. Better? (Him wearing it was still tacky and tasteless. Age isn't really an excuse, either. But from what little I've picked up, it does seem like he at least learned from the experience and hasn't repeated it...or hasn't been photographed repeating it!)

I might be accused of being an Anglophile, albeit one who doesn't care about the monarchy. But I think my fascination really is tied into my love for my Mini, British television, and antiques/old buildings.

Honestly, I think most Americans don't care if the royals get jobs or if they twiddle their thumbs all day.

They're extremely right: it's creepy and horrifying the way paparazzi target celebrity children.

No, I wasn't criticizing YOU. I just mean people who are like "OMG I NEED A GAY BFF." I don't feel like you were saying anything wrong intentionally. :)

"they have no gay friends"

I’m not only uninterested in having children. I am opposed to having children. Having a purebred human baby is like having a purebred dog; it is nothing but vanity, human vanity.

Hah, I stopped reading a few books ago so I didn't know she finally ended it!

I like how she can take the elements of the case and explain them in everyday language, without legal jargon, yet it's not "dumbed down" for the listener.

Nope, sorry. Mother of one here, and I totally think it's the parent's responsibility to monitor what the children are watching, not the network's. And I also agree with another comment above...I go to bed by 11pm. Saying "look at SNL," which is ridiculously late, is a bit overboard. My son goes to bed at 9pm, and on…
