I would say that this is a big LOST promotion...but the show has ended, right?

@HidingInCanada: Holy moly, she looks amazing. Also, I love Thandie Newton's smile. It looks authentic and genuinely happy.

@Spritie: Aww, thanks to everyone for the support!

I can't help thinking of a friend from middle school that was ostracized. She *swore* that she was a cat in a previous life and would regularly act cat-like. Scratches, meows, everything. In seventh grade.

@katieupsidedown: Gorgeous! You have great taste to spot such a find.

@Joie de Vivre: Holy moly.

@chévere? chévere!: I waited eight months before PIV, but only a month or two for anything else. We've been together five years. For some reason, I wanted to wait until I was twenty, so it was about a week after my twentieth birthday.

Keep Mad Men spoilers in REPLIES, please!

For this whole series of stories, I was halfway between fainting and vomiting the entire time.

@Kaybeegurrl: I completely agree. Thanks for stepping up and saying it. I sure know that I like to get my leopard-printed red-lipsticked sexy on; if someone wanted to take pictures of me doing it, that's just fine.

@greydove: Also like the Neutrogena body scrub. Weirdly enough, I also respond to Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile soap in liquid form.

When I read the title and saw the graphic, I thought the article would be about how Neil Diamond, your father, was ruining the world with TERRIBLE music.

Wow, what a cutie. Great smile.

@girlwithapen: Here's another that wasn't drawn in by The Alchemist, and I read the first 100 pages or so (which is like, almost all of it). I'm currently reading The Hunger Games, and I really like it. I'm trying to read more YA lit to have better recommendations for my students. Also, Hunger Games is just good…

@Elle O. Elle: I really identified with Karen Brewer, but I was an irritating little shit too.

@mich7988: Hang in there, sweetie. Take a deep breath and only deal with a day (or an hour, or a minute) at a time. Talk to a therapist, school counselor, or peer counselor (they're often hidden gems). This too, will pass.

@herbie: I completely agree. I wasn't crazy about the last third, but I *get* that it was a sort-of homage to the fantasy writers of yore. I loved the construction of other worlds, though, independent of the rest of the plot.

@RousseMacabre, from Ravenclaw: I graduated from middle school that year and this was our official theme song. I wasn't crazy about the song, but I get what you're saying about making you feel like you want to cry. It's weird, it's almost like I feel nostalgic for someone else's idealized high school years.

@LionAndUnicorn: This is a little unorthodox, but I like to soak and super-scrub my feet. I then massage lotion into them on the edge of my bed. I don't know why, but it's extremely calming.

@MSPgirl: I've noticed that the colors are a little more vibrant. A Blu-ray player will also make your regular DVDs look much better, although not as good as blu-ray. For older and standard animation movies (not computer), I wouldn't upgrade to Blu-ray if you have the DVD. With new, computer-animated, or action…
