This needs to be my new show to marathon watch. Anyone know where I can catch up on all of the episodes?

Yeah, kids are cruel. Those days (and my weight at the time) are long gone, but it still strikes a nerve whenever I hear people say that skinny/fat can't be two sides of the same coin.

But how is it not the same? How is the tormenting that I received different from that which an overweight girl might receive?

Being made fun of or bullied for your appearance is awful no matter what side of the spectrum you fall on.

My fiance is exactly 9 months older than when I was supposed to be born. I was three days early, and I tease him now that it's because I knew down the road I'd meet him that much sooner. :)

I think grenenwood is asking who supposedly hurled the slur.

Exactly! I think that's the only thing that's missing - his hair is too short and coiffed. But hairstyle is so nit-picky I'm willing to overlook it. :)

I know I'm in the minority, but this is exactly what I pictured when I read Catching Fire. He looks like every guy on every swim team I've ever been on.

It's SO easy to forget, too.

I kind of hope not. I do wish they get rid of Andy. His return has almost reverted the show back to last season!

Have you watched this season at all? I'll give you that last season was terrible, but I've been pleasantly surprised with how they're wrapping everything up.

My fiance and I struggled to stay invested while watching it last night. After what seemed like ages, we paused for a break, only to realize we were a third of the way through the film. We stopped watching, and I have no intention on completing it.

Yeah, that's exactly what they use. I know I should be happy that I have time off to work with, but it's hard to plan for anything when they are lumped together!

Sick days and vacation days are one and the same - our PTO can be used by either.

No, my office just gives us 20 days at the start of each year that can be used for vacation/sickness/whatever. So instead of accruing those days over the course of the year, I just get to tick off days whenever I'm out.

Ugh, yes please.

Oh my goodness, I KNOW HIM.

I'm 6'2, and reached this height when I was 15. I have always been taller than pretty much everyone in the room, men included.

I've mentioned this before so apologies, but I was a competitive swimmer. In high school, my team regularly competed against Natalie Coughlin's. And you know what? We were totally ok with it. It was awesome to be able to race against someone of that caliber. And talent attracts more talent, which in turn breeds…

I know there are people who are disappointed with the casting, but as someone who grew up a swimmer, and grew up swooning after hot swimmers and hot water polo players, this guy is exactly what I pictured. Finnick's tan hair, green eyes, and bronze hair = pretty much every California water polo boy I've ever known.
