This, precisely.

Here's a handy chart from U. of California at Irvine describing the cycle of abusive relationships. In my experience, this is exactly how it goes.

Yesss!! If we still hearted commenters, you would be totally hearted right now. (We don't heart anymore, right? I don't even know. Man, fuck Kinja.)

Yes, she is. The last time I saw the show, her story arc was that she wanted to open her own funeral home after her great-aunt passed away and she saw how much money could be made. If I remember correctly, she was starting a mortician apprenticeship at the funeral home that handled her great-aunt's (and Coretta Scott…

Today's WOD: Drag a big-ass wooden cross through the center of town and then up the highest hill while your neighbors line up to throw shit at you.

The ab routine is kind of a myth. The only way you'll ever look that ripped is if you're at a very low body fat percentage. Dragging a six-foot wooden post through town and up a hill is a good start.

I was really hoping this was gonna be about Phaedra Parks.

Easy, tiger! I think you read a lot into my response and took it very personally; I wasn't attacking or even criticizing you.

*"These cats" referring to Alkaline, that is.

NBD, that's the kind of shit in-flight wi-fi was invented for!

Wow, I don't know what you're referring to, but anything involving Satan, Bill Cosby, and ghosts is surely awesome. I approve!

??? That doesn't have anything to do with this study. The point of the study is not to measure the ratio of queer to straight women. I don't know what you're trying to say.

I used the strike through tag for "walking on the beach", but apparently it doesn't work on this site. Now it just looks weird.

Aww, you know I'm a Chicago girl, right? I mean, of course you don't, but you do now. These cats were a little more upbeat than most of the Chicago scene then, I was more into Wax Trax shit. But it slightly warms my icy, black heart nonetheless.

??? That has nothing to do with anything. The point of the study is not to measure the ratio of queer to straight women.

Ugh. Fuck that noise. I hope he dies too, fucking psychopath. I've grown a thick-ish skin about the paranoid feminazi name-calling, 'cos I figure those dudes' lives are so boring they deserve only my pity, not my scorn. Also it's kinda awesome to be feared like that. Sometimes I think about it when I'm training: Fear…

I hope so, and I certainly intend it to be. I did some evil shit to the guy that filmed me, that's for damn sure. Not kid stuff, either. I saw "I Spit On Your Grave" as a teen, and while I didn't emulate her methods, I do consider my revenge to be a sort of homage to the spirit of that fine film.

It kinda blows my mind when women say they don't think women's rights are an issue anymore, but I guess some people just don't see it. Some women who grow up incredibly privileged have maybe never had an experience where they felt they were treated unfairly, because everyone just kisses their ass all time. (I'm…

Ugh, allow me to explain, lest you think I am a complete fucking doormat. The assholery manifested the same way Mike Campbell went bankrupt in "The Sun Also Rises": Gradually, and then suddenly.

Brrrrrllllegh!!! (Icky shivers.)
