I used to think it seemed like a good way to covertly starve myself, but I never actually thought juice fasts were legitimately good for me. I thought it was fairly well known.

"I don't like other girls. So much drama!" is code for "My ability to connect with other people begins and ends with their sexual approval."

Right? I think I'm just going to skip it and move on to the building a life together part.

I used to have so much trouble getting to sleep and staying that way. I have taken pretty much every medication prescribed for sleep (including old school stuff like chlorl hydrate and miltown) and getting up before 10 was agony. What finally worked was 1. stopping drinking and doing drugs 2. about a month and a half…

Hell wasn't a compelling enough reason (I didn't believe in that either), but social acceptance was. I wasn't at all worried about God's judgement, but I was definitely worried about the judgment of my peers. By 2nd grade, I had learned to just lie about it.

Yes! I was raised a Unitarian, so no one ever taught me faith in God, and I never believed. When kids started telling me that I was going to hell, I would have LOVED to have acquired that belief, but I didn't and I can't. At this point in my life, I don't have a whole lot of desire to believe, but there was certainly…

I think I'm going to buy a pair of these today. They look super comfy.

I collect vintage etiquette books, too! And vintage diet books (the original Weight Watchers book refers to "former fatties"). "Take his proffered hand and shake it, whilst silently judging his behavior" is great.

As soon as I read this comment, I Googled "vocal fry" but even after reading about it, I can't figure out what it is. Can you give an example?

This was my favorite movie growing up. I still love it. How can you go wrong with Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin?

I really appreciate your commitment to this theme today. It's been lovely.

I might have sounded critical in my last post, but I'm totally guilty of it, too, though sober, it's a lot less likely, especially after hearing so many guys complain about it. I keep my fingernails really short now because my boyfriend does not enjoy pain and is really sensitive, but an ex's mother, upon seeing her…

While I personally like to bite and be bitten, I've yet to meet a guy who likes the scratching and have heard guy friends complain about it more than a couple times. I think all the back clawing young or sexually inexperienced girls do is at least partly Hollywood's (or porn's) fault. They see what really excited and…

I'm absolutely sure my boyfriend has more than a little bit of this issue, too and it gives me a little performance anxiety because my body is just not designed for non-stop multiple orgasms all the time (sometimes, just not most of the time). I totally fake more than a couple orgasms a night, which I realize is…

I like to pretend that about all cats, but so far, it has been nothing but a disappointment. All the cats I know have been totally opposed to clothing.

I like this show, but I can't watch it alone because I am a fraideycat of the fraidiest order so I only watch it with my boyfriend and then make him sleep on the serial killer side of the bed (next to the door) while I have bad dreams about ghosties and clowns.

I always kind of loathed those freaky cats, but my boyfriend is super allergic to cat, so now I'm figuring that a weird hairless cat is definitely better than no cat at all.

I agree. My boyfriend and his roommates tend to be really anti-cop and also have a flair for conspiracy theories, and while I don't like to stoke their paranoia, I have to begrudgingly admit that this looked very suspicious given the circumstances.

I'm dying. This is a great comment.

I've been strongly considering getting my boyfriend a Utilikilt for some time. So hot! And so practical! All those pockets.
