Our Girl Scout camp was literally sleeping bags on the ground - no cabins, no tents. I had no idea we were so badass.

There's a lot of truth in that. If the pose is too tortured - too pose-y - the clothes don't look good in a normal stance, like what real people do.

Never give up on your dreams, you shooting star.

(1) Future is an amazing name, v. cool, but (b) I've never liked the practice of naming a child after his/her parent, i.e., Junior, because what about the second or third kid? It just seems like favoritism, and the oldest kid (esp. oldest son) always seems to get that anyway. Just me?

I remember reading a quote from Michelle that they were considering adopting from foster care, but their practice of spanking and other physical "training" should (hopefully) nip that in the Bud. Foster parents are not allowed to strike their foster kids, and they don't seem to be the sort that would change their…

"Who's Garret Hedlund?" Stars, they're just like us!

The collection is pretty cool - check it out here:

I don't remember where I watched the finale, but I have clear memories of the first episode. I had moved to my city in March 1994 knowing no one. Six months later I was o the sofa in the apartment of the boys-next-door, one my ex following a short fling, with another guy and two girls who would become my lifelong…

New assignment, Sasquatch: fuck, marry, kill?

That is total bull - Poussey is my favorite.

How much is that kitchen twine in the corner? Because kitchen twine is super handy.

I want to meet her in the lobby of my OB/Gyn's office, or get stuck on an airplane next to her, or run into her on line for the ladies room in a bar. One of those "we're all in this together, might as well make the best of it" situations.

Oh, I'm a total fans'a Sansa. Considering how young she was in the first season/book, she quickly learned how to play the role expected of her - as Joffrey's intended, his spurned, Margery's confidant, Littlefinger's damsel, etc.

Yeah, he can make due with a Dixie cup when he wants to do his water-to-wine trick.
