I asked for this for Christmas! I just started it, and a couple things to note: Much of it is a memoir of Julie Dawn Cole's life in general, so if you're looking for complete and total Wonka-rama, you might be disappointed. Secondly, there are a bunch of typos and the back cover quotes "Robert Ebert" instead of…

Aside from what others have already said re: we're mocking them because they say they're nice when they're really not nice at all, what gets me mad is the apparent inability to see "dating" as anything beyond "someone to fuck me." Unless these guys filled out their OKC profiles with solely "casual sex" as their…

Pillar-of-fur! YES! I've never been able to accurately describe why I love his front paws so much and that is perfect.

Well, Bo was a gift from Ted Kennedy. So we don't really know if they deliberately decided not to go the rescue route, or if the gift supplanted their rescue plans.

That's an awful thing to do! At first I called your dad a dick, but that's not nice. But that's kind of what I really want to say. Jesus Christ!

Wow...just looked that up and I definitely have that. Glad to know there's a word for it!

MINE TOO! Weird...

Yes. Usually I would feel the same way as you, but for some reason, with him, *swoon*

Okay, I can totally handle potato chip eating, but omg the sounds of gum chewing, with the saliva and the smick-smacking. Please no. PLEASE. NO.

That does sound frightening.

In middle school, we all had to choose a short biography of a celebrity and write a book report on it, and I chose Mariah Carey.

William Davis: scariest "toy factory owner" ever.
