I’m not a teacher so I’m no help there, but I have been through almost 20 years of dating hell, and I can tell you that you are doing the right thing by distancing yourself from your current romantic situation! I dated that “type” so many times, it hurts to think about it. I just waited around for them to figure out…

How can you say anyone is using it “wrong” though, if there is no way to know how and when it started? Like a few people have said, I too, have heard this term floating around my circles long before Cam’ron. It’s two very simple words that could’ve easily been thrown together by multiple groups to mean multiple…

This. I got engaged a few months ago and my fiancé and I are having a small wedding in a few months. We have a small bridal party for “appearances” - you know, to make people feel special - but I’ve made it quite clear that just because I decided to spring a wedding on everyone suddenly, I do NOT expect everyone to…

Please don’t get me started on Frappacinos. Why can I not just get a simple cup of coffee without waiting an hour in line for everyone to get a $10.00 milkshake? Oh God, kill it with fire.

Also, the assumption that our wealthies are just so much SMARTER than anyone in a lower socio-economic class, and that’s why they deserve to be there. I’ve worked with the former, and let me tell you, it baffles the mind how and why they are in charge. They may have had better access to opportunities that allowed them…

I starred her for ya!

I replied to another one of your comments along the same line, but thank you again for this. I’ve gotten so many disparaging remarks about my fiancé’s “inability to provide” for me, as he falls into this category of someone who doesn’t have some fancy career afforded to them by some fancy college education. I was…

“And the negative words we use to diminish others’ work is a means of maintaining oppression based on class, capital, and the privilege of opportunity that led to that capital.”

I fully endorse that :)

The thought of my retail years is sending me right. outside. now….

Ha!!! I think I just peed a little!

Exactly! I know my fiancé (also an ever bigger hermit) is going to start clamoring for kids not long after the wedding and I’m going to have to remind him of our weekends. Naps! No talking! Books! Silence! Netflix!

We need to find someone science-y to work on that, stat.

So glad to see other lame introverts as well :) My job requires me to be (or appear to be) quite extroverted. No one knows that the minute I get (run) home I throw on pajamas and become a total recluse (and love it). And weekends? Forget about it. My fiancé lives abroad right now, and I live in a city where I don’t…

This is horrible and I don’t recommend you take it up, but being a smoker really helps me with this. Because I don’t know a lot of smokers and when I’m somewhere and need some space or time to myself I just up and head outside to “think”. This is why I’m having a hard time quitting - It’s a great excuse to have alone…

A) Wow. So on your Facebook, only white people are posting their Cecil outrage? Sorry, don’t buy into your massive generalization.

Visiting some sort of elephant sanctuary has been a life-long dream, and Thailand is on my bucket-list. Officially putting this into my brain for future dreams :) Thank you !

You should see my cuticles.

“And then asked my guides to find the biggest elephant around to kill before I left.” I swear, just when you think the story can’t get more disgusting.

Where did you do this and tell me now how I make this happen immediately. :)
