Oxblood and dark dark green (somewhere between hunter and olive?) are my favorites. And very dark chocolate brown. Mmmmm. My life’s work has been obtaining things in these hues.

I just wear patterns and black maxi dresses in the summer.

It seems like we have a major problem with white male terrorists in this country. Over to you, media.... Hello?

My aunt and her husband were awaiting an adoptable baby and went to a class for people considering adopting older kids, which contained some practical information and then a lot of stories with happy endings - then she visited a group for parents who have already adopted kids over 5 years. It was a really intense…

As a pregnant-lady this was perfection in a video. The little content baby faces. The calm expertise of a white-coated doctor. It was all so reassuring.

Our old vet once picked up my cat when she was a kitten and cuddled her against his face. I melted a little.

I like talking when I get my hair cut because of the fact that you can’t really look down. It would feel weird to me to stay quiet while trying to avoid eye-contact in the mirror. For this reason a good personality is almost as important as someone who can do a decent cut!

I had a miscarriage 2 years ago, and currently I’m in my 6th month of pregnancy. My miscarriage was a surreal experience because I didn’t share that I was pregnant, nor was I trying to get pregnant at the time, so I remember feeling this weird disconnect trying to engage normally when I was just feeling exhausted and…

I am also thinking of leaving facebook - and for different reasons. I actually like it for keeping up with my friends and family and seeing their day-to-day life kind of stuff (trip photos, status updates, projects, etc), and quite some time ago I forced myself to stop following anyone who I didn’t genuinely like to…

They remind me of Carrie and Big.
And does this mean she’s really not going to be in the Full House reboot??

I am mildly obsessed with Mariah. I loved Whitney. Celine delights me. Aretha and Diana are goddesses. And someone recently said to me “wait,you love all these divas but you aren’t into Adele?”. I was like, “her songs are really heartbroken without really getting her in touch with her crazy - it does nothing for me”.…

So I asked her about this whole ‘dramatic’ thing, since I don’t really consider myself dramatic. I am enthusiastic, at times, maybe embellish on a funny anecdote - but I don’t exaggerate when it comes to my health or other more serious things. She recalled that between ages 3 and 8 I had a tendency to overreach,…

My mom is normally not the type to comment much on my physical appearance. She is critical of my clothing choices but not one to nitpick, we are generally quite close. However, in college I studied abroad for a semester. At the end of the semester I went travelling, where I got giardia - a parasite - and was too poor…

My dad is one of those ‘never take a sick day, never go to a doctor’ people. He got appendicitis and then his appendix ruptured, my mom could feel this lump in his abdomen and forced him to go to the ER. They rushed him in for surgery and basically said he was an idiot - his body formed scar tissue around the rupture…

I am just so disappointed that we the public did not get the Duggar scandal we deserved. I have been following the family for a few years - gleefully awaiting the day someone runs away to Nashville to live with cousin Amy, comes out as gay, goes a glorious sit-down interview with Opera then runs away into the sunset…

This was fun to read because I am 6 months pregnant. I visited a birthing center located about 4 blocks from a hospital while I was in my first trimester. It seemed like the best of both worlds, but we have a rather rubbish insurance plan and because it does not cover birth centers there was a risk we could have to…

I am good at shopping for fancy bitches - both the male and female variety.

Other ideas for “ladies”: butter london nail polish, silk pillowcases, lavender sachets for their linen drawers, Japanese exfoliating cloth to pair with fancy soaps, fancy-ass tea pot with an insert for loose leaf.

Male/not-girlie variety…

I ended up with 7 bridesmaids - but I couldn’t help myself! Any friend who seemed interested I ended up throwing in the mix (‘the more the merrier’). But I didn’t have them wear matching dresses, and I paid for all the dresses of my bridesmaids that flew from abroad. My bachelorette was dinner at a Mexican restaurant…

Thanks for your comment - I don’t think there is an answer really, just a variety of opinions. I think including or not including a-sexuality in the spectrum is like debating whether feminism should have more defined parameters, it’s just a matter of how we think these ‘communities’ should operate. Like, recently I…

As a pregnant poor, I literally want to find you and fight you with my bare hands.

So I see your perspective, and respect it, but I still don’t know if all of this information negates my feeling that there is a vast difference between the issues facing the LGTBQ-community and those faced by A-sexual people (I said a bit more in my other comment, in this case I was replying to someone and more wanted…
