Not a real relationship. Manufactured for Twillight publicity and possibly to hide that one or both of them are gay. Am I the only one who thinks this?

You're absolutely right. Thank you for saying this.

That seems a little unfair.

You're quite right, but...I'd be angry, too, if I felt I was being lumped in with knuckledraggers, just on the basis of where I live. It's possible to characterize a region of the country, and you have experience enough to do that, but there are good people to be found absolutely everywhere...

"Vagina lodge" is going to be the name of my new women's retreat. Thanks, Tracy!

Yeah. The world* is complicit. True.

I thought that may be the case. But I'd always rather hear someone present their own argument than my fashion it together on my best guess. As there's always a chance I'm missing something.

I think, barring the discovery of actual talent in any of her kids, making up sht is about all she has, yeah. This means she is gross, not that the world is gross, IMHO.

"If anything, I understand Korean culture better than most, because I have had to fight against much of its homophobia, sexism, racism –- all the while trying to maintain my fierce ethnic pride."

"Only" 30 minutes a day? ...am I the only one who...that seems like a lot. Isn't that a lot? No?

Two words: tether balling.
