It reminds me of the Vicar of Dibley, which is a show I normally wouldn't have watched (a bit too traditional sitcom for me), except that I am madly in love with Richard Armitage. So I watched the episodes he was in, and I watched this conventionally attractive, smart, adorable male character fall completely in love…

Yeah, people do use the word that way, but with MUCH less cultural baggage.

Haha, true. Although that's almost always a qualified use of the word: "I'm a [insert activity here] virgin." And of course those uses have about 1000x less cultural baggage attached :-p

"AHHH" is borderline, and could be justified as an elongation of the exhalation sound. "Sexxxy" is weirdly sibilant but could possibly be a sarcastic jab at things that try to hard to be sexy.

Oh, I'm just being snarky about the hedgehog. I like the idea of making people very uncomfortable when they ask inappropriately personal questions :-p

It's kind of a weird thing. I don't mention it to a lot of people in real life who don't know me well, because people tend to ask incredibly stupid questions, like "why not?" What I *want* to say is, "well, I was born with a hedgehog instead of a vagina, and it's hard to find guys who are into that." What I usually…

As a rather tall lady, I'm on the other side of this unfortunate situation. I don't have a preference when it comes to height, and I've dated shorter guys I met online (a situation where people have more than physical appearance to judge a person on before approaching someone), but I've never been approached in real…

Yes! This! It makes me sad that this comment is stuck down in the greys.

Totally off-topic, but repeating the consonants when you type a word makes it sound like you're saying the word with a stutter. If that's what you're going for, okay, but it "sounds" like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

I know it's morbid, but fear of falling in the shower and dying is a not insignificant part of the reason I prefer to live with a roommate. Also friendship, less rent, etc, but mostly the not dying and having my body discovered by a landlord because neighbors complained about the smell.

That needs to be on Etsy, like, now.

Yes to all of this. It's just been in the last few years that I've really been able to get past some of my early socialization (you are a girl, so be girly! Also, your life's goal is to find a prince, and then it will be magic and glitter and unicorns with rainbow farts forever!), to stop focusing so much on getting…

I don't really have feelings about the content of the article, but this is a really pretty spoon.

Bullshit. Groups don't "decide" that words are offensive because they want to be offended. WORDS MEAN THINGS, and sometimes they mean hostile, cruel, racist, mysoginistic, ablist, etc things. But, really, if you're the kind of person who actually thinks that it's okay to use hurtful words because people should just…

But... "have rejecting"? Time for bed, bandit_queen.

One day, when the long-suffering masses have rejecting Michael Bay and all his works, a director will rise up from among the people, bearing a Captain Planet movie better than we'd ever dreamed, and say, "people of Earth, now we can have nice things."

I'm just going to leave this here. http://xkcd.com/1216/

I love him. I kind of think of him as "Channing Tatum with a personality."

Um, womanfolk (I don't know how to make that singular) here, and as a lady who likes dudes, I would say his douchiness overpowers any attractive features he may have, like a swarm of jellyfish in a tranquil ocean or skunk-spray all over a beautiful dog.

I've found that the financial thing is the only excuse that gets me even a temporary reprieve from my mother (who thinks that she's failed to raise a successful adult or something because I don't drive). The money excuse is partly just true-I live in a city where it would be ridiculously impractical and expensive and…
