WOW. Wow.

My mom is just a bit batty at the best of times, and for whatever reason Thanksgiving brings out the absolute worst in her. My worst Thanksgiving occurred a few years ago when she had gotten a ticket and gone to the court date about 3 days before Thanksgiving. For whatever reason, she thought the court thing would be…

I don't know about the Twilight Zone but it was totally a King story called Quitters, Inc., which I am now going to read at work instead of being productive! Woohoo, day before Thanksgiving!

"Like if Joss Whedon was ghost-written by Orson Scott Card."

I think that's technically a "shoe."

Man, adopted people like me must have it pretty rough! I didn't end up with my parents until I was nearly 6 months old.

From following Gabi Gregg's blog loosely, I get the impression that she buys a ton of super awesome stuff from Asos.

My friends and I are building a Trojan Horse out of PVC, cardboard, and contact paper for Halloween. Are we dressed slutty underneath? You won't know until it's too late!!

Yeah, it aired literally yesterday. It's far from unreasonable that people wouldn't have had time to actually watch it yet.

The way the title of the article cuts off on my sidebar is REALLY unfortunate: "She's Covered in Blood and Shit." VERY different movie than what I remember from the original!

I've heard protein shakes are a good way to build up some mass, and since they're a liquid that "full" feeling goes away quicker. Calorie-dense foods like nuts are also a good way to up your intake without stuffing yourself.

I'm not advocating Alex's rudeness but I'm also not sure that being thin isn't still rewarded even as it's shamed in the real world. My best friend is a naturally very thin girl and while she's gotten a lot of those rude comments you mention from women, she gets a LOT more attention from men than I (an average-weight…

Queer and Questioning, I believe.

Here's my Soul Calibur IV costume! I'm Hilde, on the left there. I built the entire costume myself, including the spear and screen printed banner. The majority of it was sculpted over bodyforms out of clay, bondo, and craft foam, then vacuum-formed in my kitchen out of high-impact styrene sheet.

Oh, I don't know about that.

I'm going to read the Outlander series now because anything lumped in with the Kushiel books has to be worth checking out, IMO. Best series EVER. My copy of Kushiel's Dart is the most worn, frayed, tattered book I own.

Dickollar. Bam.

Nope, I agree. I know scores of people hate to be told that their oh-so-comfy sweatpants make them look sloppy, but we're talking about clothes that literally have "sweat" in the name. Come on.

For sure. I'm certainly not saying that I endorse pageants or anything like that, it was just one instance where somebody I knew did something similar for a good reason.

Not sure generally, but I have a friend whose parents couldn't afford to start a college fund for her, so they auditioned for her to be in a Sears catalog or something as a baby. They set all the money she earned aside and she used it to pay for her dorm and her computer when she went off to school.
