Newman-Os are clearly the superior choice.

This is amazing! Unwound played my first punk show (Mecca Normal/Spinanes/Unwound /TattleTale) and I remember standing off to the side and not dancing just so I could watch her. SK were also rather formative for me.

I inherited hairy toes from my Mom. All of my non-hairy toed family members refer to our feet as “Hobbit feet”.

That sounds fascinating! I was in a super loose group of women who were all trying to think about mental illness in a social context, and she was kind of our mascot. We even made stickers and shirts that said "Frances Farmer Conspiracy". God, Jezebel has been a really weird trip down memory lane for me this week!

Did you do your dissertation on Frances Farmer? I was obsessed with her when I was in my early 20's. Her autobiography is horrifying.

Worrying about poop germs would definitely harsh my sunbeam-basking mellow.

The amount of poop on the streets is truly horrifying. I'm one of the least germ-phobic people I know and I don't even like to wear open-toed shoes or sandals for fear of getting some on my skin.

This is the whitest idea ever. How ignorant do you have to be to think that racism is an issue that can be dealt with by having an inane interaction at Starbucks and not systemic institutional changes?

A couple of months? It hasn't been horrible, but I often see things from men saying that they are tired of always being the one to initiate, so I thought what the hell, I can initiate too, but the response has been underwhelming. I suppose that should just make me more sympathetic to what many men experience on dating…

Thanks!! It's been ok, but I've definitely had some sad trombone days. I really appreciate your perspective.

So maybe it is me…

Ok, long story short. Women writing to you first (on OKC or something similar), yay or nay?

This is very random, but are you a dude on a dating site? I have some questions re:women writing first and would some info outside of my social circle.

Drat!!!

Martinis or GTFO.

Is that for real? I work with kids so there's no way I'm gonna google it.

He's my #1 actor for both seems delightful (Life Aquatic) and scares the shit out of me (everything else). I honestly have no idea if I would try to hug him or run away screaming if I was ever to meet him in real life.

Oh man, I had to travel for work on very short notice to a suburb of LA and ended up staying in a very strange hotel with damp carpet floors and less than comforting door locks. That trip was nightmarish in many ways, but that hotel gives me the willies to this day.
