My heart goes out to you. I'm sober, too, and I know what you mean about the whole ripping-off-the-bandaid aspect of that. I've also always said that alcohol and drugs were the best answer I had available to me as a kid (I started getting high when I was around 12), and they kept me alive until I could find a better…

My home life rendered me a hand-wringing, anxiety-ridden mess most of my life. I've got some bad genetics working against me as well. I numbed myself with drugs and alcohol...only to find that getting sober made things actually worse....because, you know, feelings and such. I take medication now - but literally no one…

Teacher here weighing in. Yes - some administrators might not do what they're supposed to. Some teachers may not do what they're supposed to. It's disgusting and embarrassing when adults don't intervene. I can't tell you the number of times I tried to report, contact home, intervene, involve administrators and was…

yes! I was named after the actress. And in actuality I love my name, what's the joy in having a normal name like millions of others? I've always admired my parents for thinking so uniquely and beautifully when naming their child.

I totally had a booger wall behind my bed, discovered only when we were getting ready to move out (I had a day bed and it was well behind the tall side made of solid wood). That was a fun day, let me tell you.

I always had allergies and a stuffy nose. I made a giant booger collection on the wall down behind my bed. It's like I thought if you couldn't see them, they magically went away. I have never seen my mom so angry.

When I was in 2nd grade, my class made gingerbread cookies. The teachers orchestrated an elaborate ruse where they pretended the gingerbread cookies ran away. They left flour trails around the school, and wrote messages from the gingerbread cookies with chalk. Messages like "Run run as fast as you can, can't catch…

Not sure if this qualifies as weird, but it shows the frame of mind I live in to this day. Here it goes.

I mean DAMN gurl. You own an even bigger piece of my heart!

Are we gonna talk about the bit where Kanye approved of Tyga "getting in early" with Kylie?

(j/k. tea it up)

Yes, but how big are these cups? Cause mine are more like soup bowls...

or the hollowed out skulls of my enemies.

Ugh. Yeah, yeah, Scandinavia is much more egalitarian than other places in the world. But that doesn't mean sexist attitudes don't still pervade. In Norway, mass murderer Andreas Breivik was just one MRA of many. Swedish author Stieg Larsson wrote a best seller called "Män som hatar kvinnor," or "Men who hate women."…

There's nothing French about walking down the streets in shitty flip-flops like a slob, Lena Dunham! Also, sadly, there's generally nothing very carefree about the French.
