I also don't understand why people don't want to grow up. I'm 31 but I look 17-18, I'm incredibly frustrated by the lack of respect I get, in any and all situations, because I still look like a teenager. And I really wish people would stop carding me.

Yeah, I don't put a lot of emphasis on "Will you marry me"s and "Oh, GOD, I love you!"s that I get like, while I'm giving head or immediately after fucking. Everything's heightened, and nothing really counts.

I LOVE that woman. And I wish I were that uninhibited.

Why the hate for soaps? Erica Kane (Susan Lucci's character) had one back in the 70's, IIRC. And Nancy Lee Grahn (who was on GH for ages and may still be, for all I know) has always a huge supporter of women's right to choose and founded an organization called "Daytime for Choice" which has had LOTS of support from…

Well, I usually give my roommate cash for rent because the property management company prefers to get one check per unit. (They sent us a nasty letter...even though they got the $$ on time.) I was with a bank at one point that had a $300 limit, I called them and explained the situation and asked if they could override…

This sounds awesome. My current roommates are super disorganized and always throw parties on weeknights without telling me first, I will come home from the gym in my gross sweatpants and walk into a roomful of people I don't know giving me side-eye. The roomie before this was crazy, didn't take care of her pets, and…

Lately I am obsessed with this:

One thing that helps me is giving things time. If I feel like self-mutilating, I'll give it 15 minutes. If after 15 minutes I will go somewhere where there are other people (even if it's just 7-11 to buy a soda). If I get home and still feel like cutting, I'll call my sister or a friend. I ended up 5150'ing myself in…

I have trouble committing to anything. I am in a 3 month sublet right now that ends at the end of January, I have no energy to look for yet ANOTHER short-term sublet. I wish that I could afford to live on my own, but realistically...I can't. I also have a problem with crazy roommates, I don't want to end up in a year…

Maybe now is not the right time to try and be friends with this guy. Seriously, if he knows you're depressed and he is the one who did the breaking up, it's kind of shitty of him to ask for something from you at this point in time.

Burt did you change your name?

I grew up in a hostile family, and went to Catholic schools staffed by lots of old nuns and brothers who tended to be Irish. They were very stoic and rarely gave compliments, although when they did, you knew you'd really earned it. I live in LA now, and people here can be so effusive that it kind of puts me off. It's…

It's never bad to communicate, I'm talking about something different. Maybe it's regional or cultural but in the cases I'm talking about, it's very much a question of a guy approaching his girlfriend's father and being grilled with questions like: "WOULD YOU TAKE A BULLET FOR HER!?" or "HOW WILL YOU PROVIDE FOR MY…

Marriage is problematic for a lot of feminists, and I for one would never get married. (And really..."asking" someone's Dad for her hand in marriage...WHY? Is she a minor? Most couples I know live together for like 4 years before marrying. It's just fuckery at this point. Why can't we all agree to drop at least SOME…

Now I'm rooting for these crazy kids to get together.

I miss 100% cotton jeans so much! And I know deep in my heart that the skinny jeans thing is just a bad joke manufacturers are playing on us because cotton is expensive and they want to maximize profit in a recession. "Wages are stagnant, we can't raise our prices...what we need is a skintight jean made from cheap…

That sounds amazing. Of course, the one time I hooked up with a woman she was a smoker. It was not like that at all...

Didn't Vogue use painted/drawn covers back in the day? Why don't these fashion mags go back to something similar? Because the photos on the cover have little to do with reality at this point. (Although I must say, my favorite Photoshop ever is the ridiculous "Gwyneth's floating head" issue of Vogue.)

I saw the first movie recently and when Gord Downie and Alex Lifeson turned up I almost died. Canadian-specific cameos FTW. For me Trailer Park Boys is a little like SCTV— it was funny before I lived in Canada, but after I had lived there it got way funnier.

Alive!
