(mention of sexual assault and mental illness in post) (...my tale of triumph is not to be mainpaged)

So most of my friends in this city are dudes. It's a combination of a slightly higher proportion of the friends that I made here post-high school being in male dominated fields such as engineering or computer science, plus the fact that a lot of my lady friends have moved to other cities in the last few years. I am…

Has anyone talked about these Facebook makeup-free selfie nomination posts yet? I just got nominated and a) I don't participate in whatever zeitgeist is going on in social media, like I said in a previous comment, my terribly terrible attitude is that if everyone likes it, it must be stupid, b) nobody tells me what to…

Sooooo... I just bombed a telephone interview for my dream job.

*Discussion about substance abuse and mental illness/suicide attempts

I can't be the only one drunk at 10am Sunday morning, right?! Shotgunned a beer between 2nd and 3rd period. The party's going to keep going until the end of the closing ceremonies! Then it's drunk nap time.

So I am applying for jobs, looking for my first letters-after-my-name job. Applying for jobs is my job right now. As many of you know, this is a soul destroying activity where you get rejected over and over and over again. I actually have a region that I really want to work in, and I am currently harassing their…

So I just started crying because my mom called me to ask if I want to take a break from studying to go shopping when she gets home from work and I said yes. I don't want to go shopping, I don't like shopping and I don't want to leave the house but I still said yes, then I hung up and cried.

Hey GT! This a a bit of shameless promotion for my friend's fundraising efforts to fund her final film project for film school. The director is one of my favourite people in the world and in my totally unbiased opinion, she is incredibly talented and is going to be wildly successful in the not so distant future. You…

Khal Drogo was at my favourite bar tonight. Khal Drogo is gallivanting around my stupid boring little city while I am inside studying. I have one exam left in my degree, which I write on Monday, for which I am over preparing. School has this one last chance to ruin my life and it's taking full advantage of it. School…

Rob Ford and Miley Cyrus have mostly been sources of of second hand embarrassment for the entirety of North America, with their smoking of substances, complete lack of self awareness, and weird racially charged public assertations. However, they have now collaborated on one of the most poiniant artistic statements on…

Has anyone here used tretonin/Retin-A for acne? I started recently and omfgdm my face is itchy and irritated. I'm only using it once every couple of nights and still I want to scratch my face off. I would like to know it's worth it. Or tell me horrible things about your experience, commiseration/cautionary tales are…

how much I fucking love my best friend! We have been friends since we were 11, and fully confirmed Best Friends since we were 17 (7+ years ago). We went through a really rough patch with her ragey drinking and my judgey pants-about-her-life-choices-and-more-money-than-me, but we have come out the other side such a…

Got accidentally day drunk whist talking on the phone with my best friend and her roommate! It is now 2pm (however, they are also day drunk now and it is only 11am their time) and all I have done is look at make up on the Sephora website and decide that I should look for a job in the Yukon.

So I finally got 100% on that god awful math test! Most hollow victory ever because I failed it 3 times previously! There are still some people (mostly people who get really anxious while writing tests) who have to write yet AGAIN, which makes me sad and angry on their behalf. But, anyways, I don't have to make the…

CRUSHED by something inane lately?

So fellow Groupthinkers and Groupdrinkers, I have come to an unfortunate realization:
