We had something different happen at our wedding: my brother got a bit drunk and spilled the beans to me and a few friends that he and his girlfriend were expecting. Obviously, the news spread like wildfire, and the two of them were getting as many congratulations as we were! I was genuinely thrilled for them (since…

You are evil, and I would like to drink with you.

*sob* Good one to share.

I’m in the States and will admit to calling my husband “babes.” I don’t know where it came from, but it’s one of my silly nicknames for him. I guess it sounded like a way to connote my familiarity with him.

I always, ever since I was a little girl, wanted Christopher Reeve to look at me like that. He will forever make my heart simultaneously skip a beat and melt into putty.

Oh, but she was so frakking adorable with her bubbly high-school shtick.

Dagnabbit, in spite of myself I giggle-snorted at that.

It took me much longer, and I was only gone five months. But then again, I'd gone full native because I was living and working in Thailand rather than just touring. I'd say it took about a year, possibly because I'd learned how different my life and outlook could be, and I was scared of losing that feeling and…

I could see the Five and a Half Minute Hallway being a successful short, but I think one movie, even clocking in at two and a half hours, wouldn't be enough to capture the intertwining lunacies. Plus, part of the "fun" is decoding the letters in the endnotes.

I had to have a discussion about this with an English student of mine who kept refusing to listen as I tried to privately tutor him on the grammatical rules he was patently ignoring. He proclaimed himself as like Picasso, but with words, breaking all the rules. I never knew how much mental fortitude it would take to…

I'm stealing "fuck him sideways with a lunch box." This brought much joy to an otherwise vile topic for me.

Daaaaayum.

Good lord, Wuthering Heights. I only just read it a couple of years ago myself, and those people are heinous. I can only hope that it was meant as a critique or deconstruction of that tempestuous love that young people fall into and how it can absolutely destroy the people around them, yet there can be hope in the end.

I also really enjoyed how the actress played Roz. She had this dignity always about her, even (or, strangely, especially) when nude. Almost like her nudity was her own armor or rich robes.

Not a Tibetan monk — a Thai monk. He's a Thai citizen, and all men in Thailand are expected to join the monkhood at some point in their lives for at least three months. Now, there have been rumors about his answering the call to serve the Lord Buddha being strangely timed with contract issues with Sahamongkol...

13/15. Wiccan.

I was reading this book in the bath and nearly dropped it in the water when I hit this moment. This world that everyone was fighting to protect in their own sad ways... and he has engineered THAT.

Noooooooooooooo. I got groped so much in elementary school when I wore mine because kids wanted to see the color change. Ick.

Fake glasses have always been ridiculous. I don't have terrible vision, but I need corrective lenses to drive and see distances. I'd love to not have to worry about them again. My husband is thisclose to being classified as legally blind. But sure, why don't you mimic what we have to go through every day to look cute.…
