Just like you can have cookies for a meal, a “real” meal would be something more substantial.

I wish I could say he dialed it down, but he really didn’t. Luckily he moved off-campus spring semester—and his replacement was an awesome guy.

This reminds me of a prank I pulled in college. The kid (we’ll call him “Tim”) across the hall from me in the dorm was a fire-and-brimstone, Revelations-is-coming sort of guy. Always telling us that he would pray for us and our sins (listening to music, btw, was one of those sins). He generally spent all of his…

I’ve always wondered if there is a list of house NOT to hit because we never ever had any stop at our place at my last house in six years. I thought they just didn’t come to the neighborhood but then I started seeing them—they’d just skip our place!

If you are not a native English speaker, I can understand why you put the word “color” in quotations. But in fact “person of color,” “woman of color,” and “man of color” are the correct person-first terms in English.

I get a feeling that I, as a staunch agnostic (yeah, I know, if I’m all that staunch, I might as well be an atheist, but what the hell, if Jesus comes down my chimney tomorrow, I’m not going to send him and his bag of presents back, now, am I?), am going to enjoy this extra well done. (also, please feel free to send…

Yup. Whenever Jesus-y people start their sermons at me I like to let them know that I was raised christian and that the founding pastor of Calvary Chapel is my godfather- and that has led me to my current atheism.

You’re pretty heavy for a guy with apparently zero upper body strength.

I’ll never tell! ;)

Getting that tattooed on my BF’s penis, brb.

I have a very clear memory, from when I was about 12, of my mother angrily telling me about a family we knew from church, and how their horrible daughter, who was a few years years older than me, had “ruined her family” by reporting that her stepfather had molested her. It didn’t even occur to my mother, or anyone…

When I rule the world the punishment for snapping your fingers to summon a server shall be the loss of said digits. I can’t even read a description of someone doing that without a red haze descending across my vision.

My father is a retired Colonel, Marine Corp. Vietnam, First Gulf War, Baghdad in 2005, was nearly killed on 9-11 as HOS of the Pentagon. He tells me, in those moments of certain perceived death, everything slows down and you live outside of yourself. Time is not a concept that exists, as Einstein theorized.

That’s true, but with shops like greenman offering huge discounts, it can sometimes be hard to resist. I’ve been burned sufficiently this time to learn my lesson though. A $59.99 console version that works correctly is better than an unplayable, but more affordable PC version.

Sadly, I don’t think DC/WB has the equivalent of Kathleen Kennedy wandering around the fan community. More’s the pity.

I’m 28 and I cried six times TODAY. (Shut up, I was reading a really poignant book while working an unexpected grave shift, you guys would have cried too.)

Windows 98 wasn’t good until SE. Windows Me worked just fine for me, because I knew how to configure it. XP was, of course, great (but not amazing until after SP1). Vista worked just fine for me because I knew how to configure it (it still runs just fine on my laptop). 7 is XP reborn. 8 was kinda annoying, but 8.1…

This isn’t exactly ‘grim’ but basically this is what hubby and I text each other every day when we’re in different parts of the house:

does OKCupid count?

if so there’s this one...

I fucking love the idea of using Socratic Questioning in the style of cognitive-behavior therapy in sexting. I’m just gonna ask you questions until you reach the conclusion I’d like you to reach; it’s much more salient if you’re able to get there on your own.
