Oh whoops, I just vomited all over my keyboard after reading your tripe. You owe me a new keyboard because I'm a woman and I can't be trusted with the money to go buy my own.

As a white person, I agree completely. I finally realized I have a real problem with making myself "not like other white people with privilege" in my own head and I'm trying to put an end to that. White people can't work toward the root of the problem if we can't see "the beam in [our] own eye."

Mine have held up for about three months now, but they are still going strong as far as I can tell. I am a few-times-a-week runner and I am very happy with the durability so far.

I mean this in a non-crazy, non-stalker way, but I want to BE her. And have her be my best friend/muse at the same time.

Yes!

Challenge accepted. Not sure when the next time is I might have an opportunity to use it, but I will. Oh, I will.

LOL! I really want to try this now.

Haha, I just snorted!

I thought the article was hilarious; I was shaking with laughter the whole time.

Me too. I was only thirteen or so when he died and I still remember the uncomprehending horror.

For some reason, I assumed IFLS was a female. Don't know why, but I wasn't surprised. It just confirmed my thoughts. Then again, I'm a female who loves science so maybe I was just projecting.
