True story. There are some other books that might sound nice to read, but once you start A Song of Ice and Fire, it is your part time job until you've caught up.

This is just going to make you madder, but I keep thinking about this article: [www.cbsnews.com]

Aw. Congrats! That's a good feeling!

In related news, I had a really good pulled pork sandwich the other day, but I have honestly been regretting not smothering it in barbecue sauce ever since. Curse weird, pork-centric brains!

The creepiest movie I've ever seen is either Pet Sematery, which was really only traumatizing because I was four, and The Hills Have Eyes, which is actually more rapey/gory than creepy and I wouldn't recommend it for a good scare.

Oooh. If you can, try a mixture of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and optionally a little dish liquid if it smells funny. It's worked on pretty much everything I've tried it on, including massive red wine spills and dog accidents. It doesn't have to be put on when the stain is fresh, either, although it works a bit…

Clementines are the only fruit that taste enough like candy to make me eat them. I've heard good things about carob covered almonds as a chocolate substitute, too!

I've seen this posted about a dozen times on my facebook, but most of these people go to church and do religious slacktivism all the time (Repost if you luv Jesus!). Uhm. And why is this fellow rhyming? And doesn't he say that he loves the church but also that the church is an infection? I'm not sure what the…

I'm with you on the texting. I'm not big on it in the best of times, and it's definitely a pain when a stranger expects you to be beholden to their texts. And I don't think it counts as game playing when you specifically said what you wanted! It might just be a quirk, though, and he could still be totally cool! But,…

Yikes! I do know that some people have passed out after the HPV shot; it can hurt quite a bit. I've heard some doctors will give you something for the pain in those situations (including pap smears!), like vicodin. It might be worth asking for next time! And yay for being back on the pill, which should at least make…

Thanks for the reassurance! Sometimes I get stupidly sentimental about the whole thing. I think the feelings were pretty mutual, but we live impossibly far away, so that was the main reason. Some days I'd like to say screw and buy a plane ticket, though.

Hehe. Hearted.

Okay. Because my personal life is in a really weird place and I consistently feel like a crazy person on this topic, I'm curious.

I know, it's mesmerizing how terrible Edith and Mary are to each other.

I love that beer.

Everyone has those nights! And probably they do, and you are awesome!

That's a good way to put it! I'm trying to be true to myself, and that's a good thing. I'm going to have another beer and try not to feel so defective!

Yay for two paychecks! Even better if one of them comes from a cool job! Congrats!

If you want him to be your boyfriend, then you should talk about that, even if you can't do it in person. Think about how hurt (or not) you would be if you took the money and time to go visit him, only to hear that he was still "in a weird place" or didn't want to get back together. That seems tough and likely…

Okay, I went on two second dates yesterday and today.
