In my experience, the Spanx scrunch up small enough to fit in one's purse. It's trivial to go to the bathroom and slip them in there. If what you were wearing didn't REQUIRE spanx (but simply looked better with them on), your date totally won't notice. In part because your I'm-totally-going-to-get-laid glow will help…

Someone asked the other day why I'm single. And I replied, "Relationships are inconvenient," and then I was told that is a terrible attitude to have.

I think this is very true. I shall use this study to justify spending money on books when I'm feeling depressed.

Me too. I was all, "What is wrong with the strange little trees...?" and then I read the caption and groaned.

Nope, totally not kidding.

I can sympathize with her, I admit. I mean, she's being asked to invest time, money, and energy in some kid that she doesn't know and doesn't want to know. Even if someone else covers her expenses, she's still going to lose time and energy to deal with it.

So you can make me come; that doesn't make you Jesus.

My parents gave me an Easy-Bake oven when I was a child. I took zero interest in it. I wasn't really interested in cooking things at all.

Grandma's 96 and going strong on half a pack of cigarettes and a (somewhat watered down) martini a day.

I find the new trolls to actually be a lot cuter and more appealing than the old ones.

I kind of feel like a union of two people is a marriage while a union of multiple people is a corporation. (To oversimplify.)

Once upon a time, some friends of mine and I ordered bridesmaid dresses from David's Bridal. Due to the out-of-townishness of the wedding, we ended up not picking them up until the day of the wedding. Anyway, there was a lot of screwing up with our order. They lost 2 of the shawls (and the replacements were not quite…

Damn it. This is like shopping with friends and succumbing to peer pressure. Yes, the three tops that I just bought WILL look totally cute on me. Yes, I only spent $40, and there was no shipping. Yes, I surrendered the moment I realized that there was a 20% off coupon and I could apply it to sale merchandise.

It's really hard to be the only girl, though. I'm finally getting around to admitted that I feel sexually harassed by my research group, which is all male. And all international.

I was 7 when my mother first gave me a book that explained puberty. It sort of explained where babies came from, but it was really more interested in going over the changes between children and teenagers. I think my mother read it with me the first time. It was chock-full of useful information about hair and…

Been there.

I use your winter shaving rule year round. I decided that no one is actually looking at my legs and that I should just shave when I feel like it. Which I do, every 3-4 weeks.

She did. My sister brought this up during the halftime show as a good reason for someone to change the channel. Instead, my father just muted the television.

I too am squicked by gargoyle sex. And I know a guy who told me that this was one of his fantasies! Gargoyle sex! It freaked me out a little, and then he got upset because I was squicked at his fantasy!

Cox Communications used to call their internet service "Cox At Home." Which led to commercials with smiling people saying things like, "I like Cox At Home!" and "You'll love Cox at Home!"
