If you don't like it, don't promote it.

What kinda crap you buying? ;)

Is it possible that his asking the question could have the same thought process as yours behind it? Couldn't he be thinking: Please God, let her say unabridged?

Adriana from The Comedy of Errors has a few badass moments. But Beatrice is really the only one I'd like to be friends with.

Yeah, I get that you're not bothered by it, but it was a case of bullying, and it doesn't fly here. End of story.

"You need meds" is in no way thoughtful. But combining honesty with tact comes with maturity.

You chose the wrong thread in which to post it.

I think you meant to add, "Ha ha! Just kidding. You're awesome."

Save the Cat, by Blake Snyder. Yes, I know it's for screenplays. Or The Hero's Journey—Joseph Campbell. Both are very good for teaching structure.

This is Nobel-worthy.

Are you dating my husband? Because all of that, plus "stoic," plus Sheldon = Mr. S. I'm all about language; he's all about other stuff. It's a big problem for me, but I usually tamp it down in my psyche and go do something good so I can tell myself, "Hey, I look good in this."*

That's oversimplifying things quite a lot (my Jez handle notwithstanding).

It's kind of an investment, but I have a lot of the same issues (very pale, rosacea), and this stuff turned out to be amazing: [sephora.com] I don't swab it all over my face—I sort of dot it and then use my fingers to blend it in. It also seems to help to first apply a little moisturizer, and then, while that's still…

I think I would say, "Hey, I just can't continue to do this as the semester winds down—too much work, too long a commute." And then leave no opening for post-semester meetings. Good luck!

Do you live somewhere where there are tai chi classes? As an introvert, I would dig these—there's very little interaction with everyone else, it's quiet, etc.

One of my friends did this—or had electrodes planted all over her chest for a week of heart monitoring. We still went for drinks, and she wore a wrap dress (over the electrodes or monitor), and still looked fabulous, all of which blew my mind. She was very, very blasé about the whole thing—I'm not sure if that answers…
