I was also confused. Glad to know I wasn't alone.

Jenny Hegemony, I've never figured out how to articulate till reading what you just wrote, but yes, I completely agree with you. I've always thought what makes me really drawn to someone is if they're passionate about and talented at something.

Ulysses, got it. I was making it too complicated. And yeah, a horizontal line or asymptote makes way more sense.

Ok, maybe I'm not remembering this properly, but if cat interest is dependent on how cute the girl is, then cuteness should be on the x-axis, not cat interest. (just like on a graph on position vs. time, time is on the x-axis, and position is the dependent variable.)

I met my first love when I was a junior in high school and he was a sophomore. We met through mutual friends, talked for hours, became inseparable right away. He got me into punk and gangster movies, I got him to take swing dancing lessons with me (this was in '98, when the new-swing craze really hit hard). We were…

Excellent, Jorge and Jesse, I haven't thought about Arseface in years! When I saw the video, I thought "this reminds me of something" but couldn't figure it out.

I love the love for Princess Superstar. I was just listening to her "yo, why you got a mirrored chair?"

It happened to me too (the giggling, not the dying).

I'm an AD fan AND a Firefly fan. It's a rough life.

I like Renee Zellwegger and can appreciate simple rom-coms sometimes, but this probably wouldn't have interested me, based on the trailers and reviews. However, the first I heard of it was that New Yorker article, which makes me simultaneously repelled by the idea of seeing it, and kinda tempted, to more fully…

I also love teaching at a CC. I'm part-time right now, and split my time teaching at two different schools, but am just kind of biding my time till there's a fulltime position open in an area I'd be happy living. For awhile I thought I'd like to get my PhD and teach at a university, but no, I don't have the right…

Nice. I like it.

I teach at community college, and don't care at all if my students are eating or drinking, as long as they aren't distracting other students. I drank big thermoses of tea all through college to keep me awake and alert, I certainly wouldn't begrudge someone else their own beverage. I am, in general, super thirsty, as…

The lime flavoring on those is fantastic. I love the bits of lime dust that accumulate at the bottom of the bag.

I thought that was pretty great. I know he's fallible, human, etc., but hearing him talk, I couldn't help but get excited about things.

Juno and the other characters in "Juno" did kind of remind me of a couple girls I knew in high school (hamburger phone and all). Their different sort of way of talking, etc., was very, very deliberate, I think, setting themselves apart from all the other "boring" kids.

Whoa, I forgot about that. That man loves hotels…

I just had Indian food for lunch today. I forgot that means I'm ready to get a futon! Or do I have it reversed? Should I not have eaten Indian because I don't yet have a futon? It's been awhile…

Brunch
Do it. Why not? The food is free, right? Then there's no reason not to.

Has anyone ever seen "The Last Slumber Party"? I'm not sure when it's from, or if it's well or poorly regarded, or if anyone besides myself and my friends in junior high have ever seen it… But the killer looked a lot like my cousin…
