But the real story is, NOW I WANT A MILKSHAKE.

Not in the US.

Maybe I'm underestimating the ubiquity of recognizing her name, but if Steenkamp had been the Olympic athlete and had killed her not-as-famous male partner, I'd be referring to the victim as "Steenkamp's deceased boyfriend." This isn't gendered; it's about who is more known.

There are those of us who haven't become aware of this news story yet (me, hi) and I think the current title is much more descriptive than just using her name. By using the word "girlfriend" there is an immediate connection between the two people. I suppose the author could have added her name, but that would make the…

Hey, I definitely haven't moved passed depression and anxiety but for the first time in my life I'm actively working on it with the help of therapy and a support group. Since I can't really afford therapy and I went to the psych department at the local university where prices are super low and based on your income…

Any news story relating to Pringles is being actively avoided right now.

I never watched her shows, but everything I have seen about her makes me think she is good.

I managed to hold it together until Cy brought him over to dance...at that point the pretense of composure was abandoned and I now resemble a raccoon.

Nooo! Not all marriages end up like that. My husband's parents have been married for 30+ years and they still enjoy each other's company. They're always teasing each other (they're really laughing with each other, not at). They seem to genuinely enjoy each other's company still. You don't have to go down the…

I'm so bad at catching flights. And I miss them for the silliest reasons... Now I'm stranded in the airport until my bus comes next morning and I just want to go home alreadayyyyyyyy
On a brighter note, this was my first trip since I turned 21 and I was amazed at how happy hour makes solo trips EXPONENTIALLY better.

I was obsessed with the books and that obsession extended to the TV series. But since we didn't have HBO I had to beg my mom to let me order VHS copies of individual episodes (!) from Scholastic Book Club (!!!!) at school. Just hearing the crappy synthesizer notes that accompany the Scholastic logo fills me with the…

I ditched the BSC in favor of Clarissa Explains It All today. Punky would have been a good choice too, though. Now I just need to find Hey Dude streaming somewhere (pretty sure there's no way THAT one held up, lol).

The wine thing is not true. White wine gives me pretty terrible heartburn. Not that it stops me, because I love it...

Say hello to your friends! Say hello to the peeeople who care, nothing's better than friends! Cause you know that your friends are alllways theeeeeerrrrrre...

Well, I started watching The Baby-Sitters Club on Netflix.

We are Russian.

Kerry Washington = wonderful, talented, beautiful, smart

I went to high school with this girl so that's fun...

Ew.
