Anyone have good tips for first dates? I'm apparently terrible at them. Also, I'm a guy who's interested in women, and I have some shyness issues on the first date.

The sound of a person's heart when they eat this.

The worst would be getting stuck on the small world ride. I was there for a week with my family, and we got stuck on that ride for at least 45 minutes. It was the most gruelling 45 minutes of my life.

Julianne Moore is the type of beautiful, elegant, awesome woman that I hope one day to marry.

Though it hasn't "existed" for 30 years, its effects are still felt on network news.

OMG this guy. Wow.

I ask my niece for a hug and never complain or force her to do so if she says no. And that's OK, because she needs to know she can say no to a touch and have it respected.

Her name makes me think of a supervillain alternate identity.

Today you have warmed the cockles of my precisely measured metric heart. I hope your days and the days of these fine story-senders are the type of days that redeem humanity in the eyes of everyone met.

Robin Wright is so gorgeous.

I have absolutely considered writing under a pseudonym because my last name is weird and literally means "Weaver". A quick survey of my friends think that's a good idea, because they would honestly pick up a book by "Weaver" before my last name if they didn't now me.

Wow, Quebec. There's a reason the rest of the country is ashamed of your behaviour sometimes. This is one of those times.
