That's exactly how I felt when I saw that movie! The way he dressed was just too much for me. A man with a nice body in a nice tailored jacket is absolutely my weakness... but Ryan Gosling just brought me to my knees.

Love this. Agreed, wholeheartedly.

Seriously. My current fur child is the #1 cutest creature I know, and well, as a 1/2 White person who is dating a White guy, I know how a lot of White babies come out looking like Voldemort. Doesn't mean I wouldn't love it... it just wouldn't be nearly as cute as my fur child.

I've seen the first two of the movies and I really enjoyed them. I haven't watched the third one though, because I got my boyfriend hooked and he doesn't want me to watch it until we're together. I thought they were really well done, and truthfully I wasn't planning on seeing the Hollywood version because I was…

I knew my chances of one day ending up with Brian Williams were slim, but now that I know his daughter is my age AND prettier than me, I think I need some Half Baked Ben & Jerry's ice cream to soothe the pain.

EXACTLY! "We've just gotta get out there and and execute." Over and over and over...

Definitely consider: Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli and The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.

¡Claro que si! The blonde hair washes her out, and she has the features to pull off dark locks in a way that most natural blondes do not.

Agreed. I spend an awful lot of time with an eight-year-old (that I babysit) and I could see how she might decide she wanted to do this but get nervous in the moment. Most kids are really soft-spoken with new adults, even if they do have something they want to convey.

Oh my gosh, so much like the story of my collection. I used to visit my great aunt as a little girl and she had a bunch of nutcrackers around her house at Christmas time, so I complimented her on them and she let me pick one out (which of course, was more fun than sitting around and listening to her talk to my mom…

My boyfriend's ex girlfriend discovered that her father was a convicted sex offender while they were dating, and my understanding is that even though her father never touched her in that way, it really put her in a bad place where she was left wondering if he had ever victimized any of her friends without her…

My boyfriend and I sweetly tell each other to "Burn in hell" every time the other sneezes :)

Seriously! I'd never seen that before today and I have to say... I'm really impressed with his moves. The man has rhythm.

I have to give it to you, you seem to have handled your terrible and traumatic experience with a much clearer mind than I imagine I would have been able to muster up in your situation. What you say about your mom's boyfriend, and what I have learned from friends who were sexually assaulted by their mothers' boyfriends…

I feel ya. I am graduating from college this year and having to move back in with my parents is my number one fear. It takes priority over excitement about being a college grad by A FUCKTON (to use the appropriate unit of measure).

Thank you! This is one of the points I am sure to drive home while teaching comprehensive sex ed. It just drives me bonkers.

I attempted to read Lolita and finally had to put it down about halfway through. It made be absolutely sick, especially since it was written from the perspective of a self-important pedophile. I just couldn't do it. Every time he would talk about how seductive she was behaving I just wanted to vomit... and give him a…

AGREED! As a vegetarian pineapple-only pizza is my #1. Vegetarian pizza is usually #2 but that depends on where I get it.

Additionally, I am Latina and can't stand when (primarily) White people use "I have a Mexican friend" to excuse their racist sentiments so I, especially, should have known better than to word my statement in such a way that suggested the same thing. I take full responsibility for that.

I agree completely, and I really wish I had a good answer for that question. I think as an immature 18 year old I just thought "Wow, I guess she really went all-the-way with this costume idea" though I do remember thinking that I would have been able to tell who she was without the makeup. I also remember that her…
