What strikes me as truly bizarre is the complete disassociation from relationships as an end in and of themselves. Like marriage and family were something on these people’s to-do list, something they would eventually have to do but kept putting off, rather than something that evolves more or less naturally from…

So, yes, it is possible for men to write women that women want to watch.

I only watched NYC, and loved it so much I could not accept a substitute.

Were you graded on it? Because I bet most boys tried to slack off, thinking it wasn’t something they’d need later on. If you were graded on it, though, it’s an entirely different matter.

Ruby Rose is joking here. I think.

I’m rewatching all of it these days, and I’m on Season 4, the one in which Scully develops cancer and is about to die. The devotion Mulder and Scully have for each other at that point has been the template for all my romantic relationships. They’re perfect in their imperfection (also: so hot).

A few years ago I published a collection of short stories revolving around the theme of bad sex. Most of them were made up, some were actual stories that happened to actual people I knew. For months after the book came out, people stopped me everywhere to tell me their own stories, and they were so good I could’ve…

- Philip, dear, they’re at it again.
- Oh dear. I do look quite dashing, though.
- Very much. There now, we’re missing The Archers.

I’m not ready to look older. I’m forty-three now and not terribly happy about growing old.

Twenty-eight. That was some time ago (I found it the morning they announced that Dubya had been re-elected) and it’s still basically just that strand, a little around my temples and a few strays here and there. I take after my dad, apparently.

I would if I didn’t dye it. Right in the middle of my forehead.

Nothing ironic in that polka-dot dress, I’d wear the shit out of it.

Yeah. The only instance in which I’d expect grandparents to change diapers is when the parents have to leave the kid with them to go on errands or an emergency. Which happens all the time with normal people, not so much with royals, I believe. I’m sure William and Kate have a nanny to help them care for the children…

I can bake, farm, mend stuff, I’m a decent nurse and I can build a shelter in the wild with little more than a sheet of plastic and a few sticks.
I’ll be hit directly in the face by the first asteroid.

Very likely miserable, like the rest of his life.

He’s fifteen. I’m not an expert on American/British international treaties with regards to parental custody, but surely he should be allowed to choose where he wants to live, as long as it’s with a parent?

You just KNOW Kanye did the styling.

That’s what I keep thinking, too. They were there, she saw them there, but they don’t remember what happened because they were both high. Selective memory might also come into play - when you’re as close to somebody as they were to Fowley, their brains may have chosen not to process what they saw.
And yet. That would a…
