I had a gorgeous wedding but through the entire planning process I kept saying "this is stupid, why are we doing this?" It was a wonderful day but I still think that maybe people should just not have weddings. I would have happily eloped.

I didn't send a plus one to one of my bridesmaids because I knew she was single and I figured, as a bridesmaid, she would be sort of otherwise occupied. The only wedding party members who had dates were in long-term relationships. Then she said "I'm going to bring my sister as my plus one, is that okay?" And I gave…

I also find Thin Mints here are a little crumblier or something. I thought I was crazy but maybe not!

I make what I am told is excellent shortbread and I just make sure to chill it first. Last year I made heart cookies that were pixelated by squeezing the shortbread dough through a Play Doh Fun Factory thingie, and they still came out tasting like delicious shortbread.

I grew up on Caramel deLites and honestly, now that I am in the land of Samoas, sort of like Girl Scout cookies less than I used to. I thought my tastes had changed but now I wonder if I just miss my old cookies.

I would burst out of that suitcase in the most pleasing way ever. I cannot afford it.

I switched from Birchbox to Ipsy after having Birchbox from their early days and watching the quality decline and sample sizes shrink (they had great packaging though). If you are into makeup, Ipsy is probably the better option. I do not think they offer a lot of choices to customize what you get, but I have been more…

Agreed! Seems like anyone participating in a dom/sub relationship, even just online, should not violate trust like this. That and her total judgement of the things he's into, that she is engaging in for him, seems lousy.

Yeah being part of a new prof search committee as an undergrad sort of killed my desire to get a PhD, since I did not want to be one of those people and there are only so many things you can do with a doctorate in religion. And thus died a childhood dream. (What type of nerd dreams of having a PhD.)

Ah yes - when I see those horrifying FB posts about how "look! These black thugs killed an innocent white girl and NO ONE MADE ANY FUSS why are people being so annoying about Mike Brown/Trayvon Martin/any number of other murdered young black men" that is what I think of. Like it's okay for cops to act like criminals…

I had a friend recently tell me about how he knew a LOT of theater majors in undergrad, and gave a very interesting description. His take was that the theater people he knew all desperately needed to be adored, but not necessarily on a personal level - on a more public, "everyone is watching and everyone loves me"…

Ha! I think my mother might actually just be scarily fertile - she supposedly conceived my sister within the month after going off the pill (while on a motorcycle, wtf mom.) This contributes to my terror of getting pregnant.

I think some people must just have uteruses (uteri?) that don't like occupancy. I also had frequent cramps with the smaller, more flexible Mirena and my doctor told me that was probably the norm for me. Got them after running and working out and especially situps.

I would never be able to use a diaphragm due to the knowledge that I was conceived while my mom was using one. Although, now that I think about it, I have also been told I was conceived on the living room floor and like, if you are having hot living room sex (ew parent sex) do you really run off to get your diaphragm?

The number of times I have accidentally ran into, kicked, stepped on, or otherwise tried to kill one of my three (wonderful, much loved) cats is only outnumbered by the times I have nearly maimed myself trying to NOT do one of those things.

Clearly, I did not consider edibles.

Yeah that would make me a nervous wreck! I mean, I honestly think the TSA should have better things to do than fuss about some small quantities of pot, but I also once got yelled at in an airport for carrying a jar of peanut butter back from Russia (it came from the US, traveled with my group, and came back again.) so…

Are you using the word "queer" to refer to weird, or to gay?

I honestly also think if they walked more of their "small government" talk (abortion, seriously?) they would have a more cohesive message and be more appealing.

Yeah, well, I married a libertarian. Sort of. It happens!
