I was 13. I had spent the night at my BF's house and my flo decided to start up in the middle of the night, in her bed while we were sleeping, on her new pink satin sheets. I was mortified to say the least. I called my mom to pick me up right away, and we never spoke of it again. ***Sorry about the sheets!***

Lot's of interesting discussion going on here. For what it's worth, I've had two surgeries: ears pinned back when I was a kid, and boob job when I was 23. I guess the ear thing was okay. My self-esteem was really affected by my big ears, and I only have occasional pain as a symptom (my ears really ache sometimes). As…

Too hard to choose! He was amazing in everything I've seen him in. Such a great actor, and such a huge loss.

I'm constantly having to listen to people tell me to grow my hair long, because "it's soooooo thick and pretty! It's your crowning glory!!!". Fuck that! Yes, my hair is think and wavy and red. It's pretty I guess. But it's also hot, and itchy, and I HATE when it's in my face, I look like a stern librarian when it's…

Google Mike Birbiglia and Terry Gross. Watch the YouTube clip. It's amazing!

I think my favorite is Terry Gross, BECAUSE of how she looks. Her voice is so smooth and sexy and nice to listen to, then you see her and she looks like your sweet lesbian aunt who's really into orchids and drum circles. Also I saw Ari Shapiro sing live with Pink Martini, and holy hell that man is seeeeeexy!!!…

OMG! I'm not grey anymore?!?!?!?! Weee!!!!

And who are your NPR nemesis/crushes Ani DeFrank Ocean? (Awesome name BTW!)

Would I not be mean if I just called her my NPR nemesis? There. Eleanor Beardsley is my NPR nemesis, and my NPR crush is Terry Gross. Happy?

Eleanor Beardsley sounds like she's choking on dryer lint. Her yucky voice triggers an instant reflex to change the channel.

I have freakishly small feet too! 7 1/2-8. That's probably my least favorite body part. The just look so weird attached to my body.

I'm 5'10" too and have never experienced this. I LOVE being tall! I've had many, many short friends, and quite a few taller than me, and I think we're the absolute perfect height. Now, the girls I know who are 6'2" and above do seem to have a hard time, with feeling awkward and finding clothes that fit. I've only…

Jesus, 6' tall and size 4 or 6? I'm 5'10", size 10, and considered skinny by pretty much the whole world. You must look like a super model!

I did it about 10 years ago. Very painful and it doesn't last. I think it's just another of the many conventional marks of beauty that you either have or don't have. If you're in the don't have camp, like me, you can resort to painful, expensive tattoos and/or implants, pencil them in, or learn to accept you face as…

My mom has undiagnosed ADHD. I've been watching her struggle with the exact symptoms you described for my entire life, but she'll never get treatment. The one time I suggested it to her she got very defensive and accused me of "always trying to fix her". It's sad, because her life is so chaotic and lonely. Wish there…

1:30 here! Wouldn't have it any other way! Life is for living, dammit.

Yo Jezebel, your comments are screwed up. Fix please!

Um, where are all the discussions? I'm not seeing any comment sections on 90% of the Jez articles. Wuz up?

Yes! The Y is the best gym of all.

If a man won't date you because of your weight, he's the wrong man. Fat people date, fall in love, and get married just like thin people.
