I found out I was pregnant my senior year of college. When I told my son's father (also a senior in college) he cried for weeks. He cried more often during my pregnancy than I did. Neither one of us were financially or emotionally prepared for a baby. His father pushed for abortion, even scheduling an appointment at…

I worked at Borders many years ago and witnessed this "Who's on first?" exchange between a co-worker and customer.

These customers remind me of the dumbest person I ever had walk through the doors of the Borders I managed after college.

I completely agree. I understand why people believe cheating is wrong, but I don't understand why they get so incredibly upset and judgmental about it. Very rarely are people cheating just because they want to fuck around, it's usually an incredibly complex issue. I wish people would show a bit more empathy when…

Step 1: do whatever you want. Step 2: repeat every goddamn day.

Yeah, my parents friends tried that. And as for the bullshit, we had jobs and were in the IB Program, so we certainly had enough homework. And we has extracurricular activities. Finding time for bullshit isn't very hard.

I like that idea. Although, there's the whole issue of the dark side and the fact you would never be able to monitor what he's up to with all the other moon kids over there.

I want to start offering a coaching service. "See, you were doing well with the opening salvo, but then you veered into showing me a poorly lit picture of your penis next to a Pepsi can and my vagina snapped shut like an angry clam. In the future, maybe try asking the other person what kind of relationship she is…

She laughs, adding: "Isn't that a strange thing to say in front of 3,000 people?"

Apart from the rider's demands being very reasonable, I am absolutely appalled that the college paper published the rider. You DO NOT publish a contract, especially when you're working for one of the involved parties! That is so unprofessional, it blows my mind. Jack White and his management have every right to be…

Really? Nothing like interpreting somebody else's words for entertainment value. Except your interpretation wasn't the least bit entertaining. I'd say his requests are pretty reasonable when compared with the likes of say...Jennifer Lopez. His requests are reasonable when not compared to anyone else actually. …

This seems like a pretty reasonable response on his part. I don't particularly understand where the paragraph by paragraph snark is coming from.

...Is it bad that this seems pretty reasonable to me? I mean, refusal to use any capital letters aside. The original rider seemed pretty standard, and definitely not worthy of as much as has been written about it, and I'm sure it's got to be annoying to still be talking about it to anyone that interviews him. Plus, he…

I actually looked at the rider. He was asking for things like having a clean, dry dressing room in close proximity to the stage, couches to sit on, really simple food and beverages for his crew. I've been at some back stage thingies, and the ones I have been to have been pretty simple as well. He's asking for…

Ok, I have a lot of feelings about this post, and about previous coverage of Madonna on this site and elsewhere of late.

I won first prize in the 3rd grade "Reflections" arts contest for a really nice pastel sketch I did of my mom's Christmas cactus. Should I....send that ribbon onto Beyonce out of respect for art? Or do I get to keep it?

That obituary was a disgrace, and got the thrashing it deserved on Twitter and in other media (The Australian is a Murdoch paper) yesterday. My fav response with this article imagining the obits of male writers if they were subjected to the same treatment as women.
