One summer when I still lived in the dorms, my mom brought my younger brother (13) and sister (11) with her on the trip to drive me home. We grabbed an early lunch at 5 Guys before heading out and were seated by a window enjoying our meal when my siblings erupted in giggles at a young woman wearing a too large…

Earlier this fall I was on the red line when I noticed a young, teenage girl wearing sandals that were taped to her feet with a gratuitous amount of scotch tape. In every other way she seemed like a reasonably dressed 14 year-old so I assumed she had broken her shoes at school. For a moment it seemed like the most…

Thank you for this! Two of my gift ideas (book & tickets to Wait Wait) were on here so that means they're totally acceptable gifts for a guy I've been dating for about 2 months, whew.

I read 1) as homemade SOUP and thought "My goodness! What sort of soup is she making?! Am I doing it wrong?"

Ssssh nobody tell the clerics that even though my parents wouldn't let me learn how to drive, I still lost my virginity. Maybe a ban on walking would have been more effective because we were next door neighbors.

What about the atheist rapist?!

I had the pleasure of meeting a fifth grader last year named Anakin. One day I casually asked where he got his name (hoping it wasn't actually Polish as his last name indicated) and he said that his parents named him after someone from some star movie or something. I think he was born around the time Phantom Menace…

My best friend and his ten roommates are freshmen at Princeton and they watched it. Apparently someone's girlfriend was upset about it.

Since sweet goes with sweet, I'd look for a nice port or fruity dessert wine.

hehe

I thought it was a computer mouse. Y'know, to surf the internet with.

This is something I go back and forth on! I've got all these voices in my head telling me one thing or another but I can't make up my mind what's square.

Ha! The water thing is actually really interesting. I think there was an article on Jezebel once about how people who drank a glass of water before a meal lost weight (and they accounted for calories and stuff natch). Obviously the actual study was more scientific than I'm making it sound...but anyway water water…

The cold water idea is interesting! I used to hate drinking water but if I did, I always wanted it to be ice cold. A couple months ago I started taking medication that required constant hydration to keep me from feeling parched and I've noticed I really prefer room temperature water. I also learned from Black Beauty…

My problem is that I eat too fast. So if my food matches my plate, maybe I'll have a harder time finding it?

Something very similar happened to me!! I inadvertently offended a friend, she asked me to proofread a paper (which detailed my offensive comment), I went to her to apologize, and she brushed it off like nbd. Ca-razy!

I did a quick search on Etsy with a $200 price cap, and there are gowns there that might fit your criteria :))

I haven't been in years either, but mostly because I'm terrified of going back. How do your nightmares play out? That not going = teeth will fall out?

I read your comment before I watched the clip and was STILL not prepared for how horrible it was, but I got to give you cred—you nailed it.

I felt really, really bad* watching that because I'd just finished having a thirty-minute-between-class quickie with a friend of mine. And I'm a brunette. We're opposite in every way!
