About seven years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I was lucky in that it was fairly isolated so they just chopped that sucker out, but I was devastated by the treatments. Just.. so so sick. An old friend of mine (we'd shared a really shitty apt in NYC in my early 20s and during this time she and I had had a

"Sorcia, I'm in love with your best friend [a dude with a hilariously ridiculous name that I cannot post here]. We're moving to Virginia and I hope you'll be happy for us."

I was seeing one of my longtime best guy friends (whom I'd kissed a couple times over the course of our friendship, but had just started, like, being with in any more significant capacity). He told me that he loved me quickly. The whole thing was very intense. I'd been hearing rumors from mutual friends that he was

College, I was dating a douche y Navy ROTC dude who lived in his frat house. He bailed on a date night with me because he was "sick," so being a dutiful girlfriend, I took some chicken noodle soup over to the frat house.

Some rational person who thinks biohazardous waste should be left at the hospital. I couldn't bring my tonsils home, your placenta should not be an exception.

she's also a national hero for putting Kevin Hart in the spin cycle

Dammit! I missed this one!

No props for Derrick Rose? Dude's been playing the "me ow" game in interviews for years.

sorry, the dancer in me can't get past that sickled foot.

She is gorgeous, her voice is gorgeous, she is an incredibly talented artist.

NOOOO!!!! HER POOR FEET!!!!! Just from that still I can see she has really poor form and she could really damage herself. Her arch is practically nonexistent so her weight is at the back of the box instead of the front. I weep for her ankles. POINTE SHOES ARE NOT FOR FUCKING AMATEURS YOU WILL GET INJURED.

no. just no.
