I've been reading her book and it's been cracking me the fuck up, but otherwise I'm not terribly familiar with Caitlan Moran- what's she been doing/saying that's perturbing you?

I wasn't referring to her actions so much as how she portrayed herself in this story.

It wasn't my most carefully worded comment, for sure. It apparently came off much differently than intended.

This is so sad. As a woman who loves her some grad school (and the people in it), I want to will the universe to send you someone who will dig you.

Yep. I remember going bonkers on bags of doritos at sleepovers, because omg chips!

I didn't intend to suggest they *can't* bite, I just meant to suggest it's unlikely (just like it's unlikely, but not impossible, that I would bite someone).

Dan Savage has been gentler on bisexuality lately, for what it's worth.

Sephora has some badass technology in the store— they'll scan your skin and tell you your Pantone color and recommend cosmetics that match you.

I find it hard to tease out my reasons for wearing makeup.
