I met my last boyfriend at the no pants subway ride in NYC 5 years ago. I knew no one in the city and figured it's be a good way to meet like minded people. We were In a meetup together , had chatted online, but hadn't met yet. It wasn't instant attraction, but we did have tons in common. After four years it didn't…

I've actually done something similar, after hearing the two waitresses working the cafe I take the kid I nanny to for lunch sometimes complain about working three part time waitressing gigs because no one hires full time (because of benefits), I totally gave my waitress a tip three times the amount of my bill.…

i'm your twin. 29. I love Lorde.

Yay for speedy readers! I'm the same and my BF always criticizes that I wont absorb what I'm reading if I read that fast, but I school him every time we read something together.
Where can you test your reading speed?

I agree about shallowness and vapidness. But I can't really imagine anyone who would want to have a close relationship with the ladies on girls. I think it's quite likely the ladies on girls would offend most people of color, or anyone with half a brain really (with the exception of shoshanna who is just so dumb one…

I agree (I'm from the Bronx, btw) but I'm also saying that I think the ladies on girls might not desire to be close friends with poc, even if they are similar, unless it happened to "be cool". They're awful people. I also think the ladies on girls would drive ANY person f*cking crazy to have to deal with them in any…

I agree that Brooklyn is totally diverse. You reasonably would see more people of color. But I also get what Apatow is saying: the characters on girls are all entitled self centered young women who have clearly never struggled with anything terribly difficult in their lives. While I'm sure there are people of color…

As a new therapist, who has also experienced some traumatic shit in my life, my little therapist's heart is bursting reading this thread. You're all such wonderful people for being internet-supportive to a complete stranger. So much insight and encouragement. Be proud of yourselves. <3!!!

Bobcat is my long-term-ex's uncle. He's totally awesome and super sweet. Not an asshole at all. When I visited he and Nikki in 2003 they were both super nice and super generous. Randomly, I remember being really surprised at how down to earth they both were, they even use regular drugstore shampoo!

That white cat (the one who attacks the robot) is named Snoopy (http://snoopy409.tumblr.com/) and he's famous and my cat Moo is totally in gay-cat-love with him.

Wait, are you actually me? This exact thing happened to me once. So I decided to torture them by crying during takeoff and landing and interupting them by telling sad stories whenever they would talk.

This is LITERALLY a block from where I used to work. But i moved to San Francisco to pursue my masters. Forget the masters degree and wonderful sunshine and warm weather, NOW I regret leaving NYC. I COULD HAVE SUNG WITH AMY POEHLER!!!!

Weren't they in a DV relationship? I'm pretty sure he beat her on the regular. Lets find a different way to blame her. How about... blame her for not fighting back and self-defense killing his ass when they were in a relationship. We all know that ends well for most women. (::sarcasm font::)

you must be my soulmate. I cried at both of these too.

I'm right there with you. I was also diagnosed in my teenage years (13+ years ago), and it was discovered to be strongly related to a ridiculous hormonal imbalance. Birth control (Yaz) and some cognitive behavioral therapy have eventually got me in check. I took a one month vacation from my BC a few months ago and I…

EXOTIC PERSIAN!

OMFG, I dated the same exact type.
My favorite incident: One day he threw a towel on the floor ( in front of me) and five minutes later we had a huge blowout because he tried to argue that he hadn't thrown it ("why would I do that?") and refused to pick it up. Like, what?

I would have liked this article more if she were proposing to a triceratops.

hilarious > creepy.
