I hate these games because if I play them enough they start to infiltrate my freaking dreams. I've got enough shit to stress me out during the day without playing minesweeper in my sleep.

I'm not sure what people assume about me, so I'll talk about a friend of mine from college. He's kind of crass, grew up poor, and was what rude people would probably call "white trash." People thought he was a dumbass. But he was in fact, probably the most brilliant person I had ever met. Probably he's the most…
When I was a young teenager, I was very bitter about my parents' divorce and I got particularly irritated when the fact that they were no longer married interfered with our usual family traditions. Most of the time, they got along well enough and we still did our holidays together as usual, but every once in awhile…
My kid's face wasn't too gross, but her head looked like this when she was born, I'm not even exaggerating. I'm guessing it's because it took a really long time to push her out, with her skull being squished in the birth canal the whole time.
I think it's unlikely that Sarah would have agreed to guest on his show if that were true, and that happened pretty recently, I think this past season of Louie.
After a string of dark, dense, heavy duty reading, I wanted something fun, easy, and entertaining, so I broke out the youth lit genre and read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. The books were, as expected, fun, easy, and entertaining. Not as heartfelt and epic as the Harry Potter series, but in the same…
When I became a film major in college (over 10 years ago), I started slowly making my way through this book (an earlier edition):
I think someone last year also brought up the shadow people, particularly, the shadow man in the hat. Apparently this is a commonly reported specter:
Do you sleep on your back? Just wondering because I used to have sleep paralysis like this, but almost always when I was sleeping on my back. It doesn't happen anymore since I made a point of always going to sleep on my side.
I've been watching it. My favorite new show is still Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but Trophy Wife isn't bad.
Doesn't work in my family. My older brother, while very intelligent, is a stoner college drop out. I'm the middle child, and I don't think of myself as particularly ambitious, but I was motivated enough to graduate from a top college and law school.
When I was pregnant, it got better for me... at around 14 weeks.
Six Feet Under was the best; I miss it.
A few years ago my blood pressure would randomly get elevated when I felt nervous at the doctor's office. I didn't have a regular doctor and just used planned parenthood for birth control, and, for liability reasons, they couldn't prescribe me regular birth control if my blood pressure came up over a certain number,…
Heh, when my husband and I got engaged, my father-in-law told him, "I hope she's not getting one of those hyphenated names," and my husband was like, "no she isn't planning on it," neglecting to mention that this was because I wasn't changing my name at all. I never did find out what his reaction was when he…
Seriously. She's such a weirdly narrow moralizer. Fetishes are cool. Twin brothers having sex with each other is cool. Alcohol is the root of all evil and the destroyer of worlds.
As a non cat haver, this seems like a really weird thing to judge people about. Although, I don't like that outdoor cats bother my birds (I keep a pair of doves in a little coop, outside since it's southern CA). But as long as they can't find a way inside the cage, I'm not particularly fussed about it.
When my Dad died, I watched the Scrubs episodes "My Screw Up" and also the episodes where J.D.'s dad dies, and the one where Carla's mom dies. Also the X-Files episodes where Scully and Mulder lose people: Mulder's dad, Scully's dad, Scully's sister, etc.
I've never dated an egregious liar, but my husband's ex sounds like a doozy. He's told me stories about how she lied about getting into colleges she didn't, lied about family members having cancer, lied about being clairvoyant and saying ESP ran in her family (I mean, I guess you can't really prove that one wrong,…
I'm starting to think that youthful faces in adults are really overrated. I can understand wanting to keep your health and your hair and your teeth and what have you, but smooth faces are starting to look really boring to me. More and more I'm starting to find wrinkles very, very attractive. Especially smile lines.…
