I was almost out of college before I learned that there are people who don't have to wash their hair every day. It still confuses me.

It was such a shame, because he has a KILLER voice and charm to spare, but he's not a strong actor and didn't really get much chance to learn, the way they shoe-horned him into plots that made no sense and had no emotional arc whatsoever.

No. Stop it. STOP IT.

Haha, unless I'm going somewhere special, my makeup look is usually one I like to call "leftover eyeliner."

I feel like Jezzies should all go see it together, so we can ugly cry through the whole thing and hand each other tissues and not feel judged.

Yeah, I want to see it, but I don't know if I can handle it.

Yeah, that's another way I was really lucky: my student loans are currently deferred, so I didn't have those to contend with.

Whut? Do you think they force pregnant teenagers to terminate or something?

To everyone commenting about how teen mothers are a tragic sign of misery and bad parenting: you can fuck right off with your self-righteous, faux-objective judgment. That is all.

IMHO, Buffy was always profoundly irritating and never lovable. Angel had ups-and-downs.

I find him lovable, but I think my nerd-worship of Wil Wheaton may color my judgment somewhat.

I spent some unemployed time recently, and I was able to keep a monthly budget under $1000, ONLY BECAUSE I have a roommate, no kids, no pets, and no car (I also rent, so no mortgage or home repair costs). Also I have the time to plan meals really carefully, don't mind eating the same thing every day, and am lucky…

Really, you think this is what "upset" looks like? The strongest feelings I detect are mild surprise and baffled amusement, mixed with perhaps a touch of "that's maybe not entirely appropriate."

On the topic of Louisa May Alcott, A Long Fatal Love Chase is SO GOOD! So much better than that Little Women crap.

Oh, wait, there's been at least one super successful female author? Hooray! Sexism is over! We never need talk about gender again!

"did their best to make sure mosques couldn't be built within a certain distance to a church."

Politicians?

I think there's also a certain amount of "well, at least I'm better (or better off) than *those* people." People seem to always want someone to be below them, someone who can be blamed for society's problems. Remember Craig T. Nelson: "I was on welfare, nobody helped me!"

Hard C, like "Killian."

*sad. Not say.
