First off, your comment has nothing to do with the show... The only angry woman on the show is white.

Shut your mouth! NOBODY hates America Ferrera... She's a national treasure.

Parsnips in my homemade chicken soup are transcendental. (But my soup will not prevent MMR, plz vaccinate first and then try my amazing soup)

Forced him to join the guilty remnant... I die laughing. Smoking and yogurt, this is your penance.

Yeah Pat, good on ya :-) the two most beautiful siblings I've ever seen had very homely parents... Although they were LOVELY people so maybe the universe decided to let the kids reflect their inner beauty? Seems like solid science to me.

You are a stronger person than I. Sometimes the comments are so ludicrous that I just can't help myself.

I feel like I have some hidden masochistic streak that shows up only online - it makes me post comments like yours and get dozens of replies telling me what a horrid person I am, how stupid I am and how I should eat shit. Any unpopular opinion online is met with heaps of hate and name calling. Sigh.

Yeah, I generally read these articles and rooooooollllll my eyes at the hysterical hyperbole.

Right? I realize that I loved 16 year old Eric and that 32 year old Eric is basically a person I’ve never met, but still, nostalgia can be powerful.

Thank god we didn't marry our unrequited loves, right? My life would be so miserable.

You can't. That young Romeo & Juliet love cannot survive adulthood, thank God.

Well fiiiiiiiiine, you were ahead of the curve.... The rest of us had bad tast tho ;-)

oh Dillon, I probably would have loved you too...

Starlilies is right, that was the style. It why I can forgive myself for my 6th grade crush rocking jnco jeans with chains on them.

Hormones. That's my guess. I have my sixth grade diary still and I laugh/cringe reading thru my dramtic decrees of love for the very unhunky boys in my life

I have no input on adult crushes... But can we all agree that everyone you had a crush on between 5th and 10th grade was probably an awkward, pimply mess? The boys that broke my heart during the awkward years did NOT look like Jonathon Taylor Thomas or Devon Sawa....

Your love for them and your enthusiasm is charming... I hope they bring back the TV show just for your sake :-)

Sage life advice, thanks ;-)

I never saw the movies. I loved the books too much.... Maybe this is silly but the characters felt intimate? Like they were real to me and I couldn't bare to see them portrayed by other people? I know what you mean by her tapping into something primal... It was such an intense experience reading her books.

Forget sexy tween, I still don't feel mature enough to be a sexy 30 year old. BSC, boxcar children and goosebumps forever :-p
