Yeah. I do think that was a big factor in forcing the issue of commitment in our relationship.

I agree 1000%. I'd like to think I won't be making the same mistake again.

:( It's so rough to negotiate that gap between meaning it and doing it. I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa.

I'm very much in the "you do you" school of thought in relationships and if someone is happy with Mr. Right Now I have nothing bad to say about it.

That makes me feel claustrophobic just looking at it.

This makes my blood boil. I had a dear friend kill himself after being forced to attend "reprogramming" camps by his parents. Those assholes tortured him until he couldn't take it anymore. It has nothing to do with love or compassion or caring and Robin Williams would probably have been the first person to tell…

His giggle is truly the best. So surprising and delightful.

I don't know when else I'll have a chance to say this, so I'll put it here. "Humping" as a term to describe the sex is so much better than "banging". I just re-listened to Ira Glass on Dan Savage's podcast, and every time he said bang/banging I flinched a little. It's my least favorite sex pseudonym.

Oh no, cargo pants are also no bueno. Honestly, I may prefer a fanny pack over cargo pants.

Kim Gordon is awesome. I wanna hang out with all those ladies too.

I'm pretty sure that the water/liquid antacid is only effective against pepper spray and not tear gas. I got hit with both at the WTO protest in Seattle and remember the pepper spray being really painful but the tear gas downright terrifying.

Seattle. Paramount Theater. It was incredible. One of those life experiences I'm glad I grabbed on to.

I got to see him in concert 20 years ago. One of the most amazing live performances I've ever seen.

Ugh. I took myself out to a restaurant a few months ago and the woman who sat me said "Oh, it'll be ok" in the most condescending voice as she sat me. WTF lady? I don't need you to editorialize on my lack of dining companion. I just want a freaking wine list.

Kathleen Hanna too! Her recording was one of the highlights of that album.

Some people get so sloppy it'd be like eating a big jello shot.

I used to work at an aquarium that had regular adults-only evenings. Some of the bonkers stuff that drunk people did was really funny but I did worry about the open shark and alligator tanks. Usually those were the best patrolled areas.

A hard-hitting work of investigative journalism, I'm sure. Seems the consensus opinion is yes.

So the following story may make me sound like a total idiot, but I've had 4 beers and am willing to risk it.

I'm so sorry. That's awful.
