So fun! I am going to try that.

Do you sell jewelry? It's super cool that you make jewelry. Ok, bed time now.

Doesn't it make a difference if it is actually going to instigate a fight? It might be slander though...

Oops. I just wrote the same comment. Sorry! And hearted. This is totally one of my pet peeves (yes, my pet peeves have to do with Constitutional Law. Dork and proud of it).

The next time someone (anyone, not just Sarah Palin) uses "first amendment" as a reason to say whatever you want, my head will explode. The first amendment stops the GOVERNMENT from stopping you from saying things and does not protect you from the consequences of saying those things (so if you call someone names, you…

Well, Abramson wasn't an alum either. Columbia College has a rule that the speaker has to have a connection to the University (and it can be tennuous; McCain spoke when his daughter was a junior at Columbia College) but Barnard doesn't seem to have that rule. But you are right that Obama chose Barnard, and yeah. It…

Good luck!

This makes me glad my dad is British. I was the little American kid scolding people with elbows on the table by saying "what would the queen say". Thankfully, my American mother got me to chill out pretty quickly.

Congrats on your graduation and have so much fun! Remember that the Bwog commenters are only a tiny slice of that university (I was at Barnard when Bwog started).

Woohoo! I came on here to find some fellow Branard Alumnae pride.

But they also had such strong gender stereotypes (I have a friend who didn't buy them for that reason). Sister bear dances! Brother bear plays with action figures! Papa bear has a job! Mother Bear gets a job having to do with quilts! Papa bear doesn't like that Mama Bear has a job! I mean, I read them all and turned…

It depends! In college, off -Broadway shows who knew they were going to have reviewers in the house offered free tickets to students so there wouldn't be empty seats. I know that's not really the same thing, but that was awesome.

Everyone together now, let's recite the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Ladies, I am going to New Mexico in May for a trip with my grad school to learn about rural health and ed policy. I am super excited. I've travelled abroad but I've actually seen next to nothing of the U.S. even though I grew up here.

If there is one close to you, I'd recommend taking an improv class, even if it doesn't seem like it's your thing. You'll meet cool people and have a random thing to talk about when you meet non improv people.

I love that musical! Mine came from the journalism standard of writing articles in an "inverted pyramid".

MEEEE! I have been talking about this/excited about this for way too long.

I had pink and purple legos when I was a kid. I think mine built a castle or a house, but they worked with the regular bricks also and got all mixed together. I mentioned the pink legos to my mom recently and she indignantly said "you ASKED for those! You had tons of standard legos!" Which was true, and I loved those,…

Thanks for this.

Well, actually, if you go back to the original commenter, she said "Angie doesn't want us to care about Afghanistan. Angie wants us to care about her." As if it's an either or proposition, and I tried to argue that Jolie clearly does want us to care about (in this case Bosnia) as evidenced by the content of her film,…
