My liberal parents didn't give us a real comprehensive view of things, so that when I was 11, I didn't know what masturbation was. I mean, I was doing it, but I didn't know what it was called. I remember finding out at school because the boys were teasing another girl for not knowing what it was. I was just grateful…

I second this. I had beets earlier this week and I thought I'd started my period until I remembered.

I LOVED these as a kid. We always got them when we went to the beach.

It is stupid. A guy made me watch it because it was his favorite movie, and I definitely thought less of him after that.

I won't read 50 Shades of Grey. My mom said it's like "porn for people who haven't ever read porn before" and that it was terribly written, so despite all the hubub I'm just not going to do it.

I'm all about Jaime Lannister. I want to lick something off his abdomen. And the character just gets better. I don't care about either Jon Snow or Robb's story lines at all.

My vote for sizzurp was a vote for opiates.

Didn't she die of an overdose of barbiturates? Suicide maybe.

He's designed her costumes since forever and a day and is declining to do it for this tour. She must have pissed him off.

Holy shit! I live in another very expensive city (Santa Barbara) and usually 99 cents each is as high as avos go. Plus, my best friend lives on an avocado ranch so we get fallen from the tree avocados for free.

When I was in China, these showed up on the table ALL the time (especially at breakfast???) but I could never bring myself to eat them.

I went to UCSB and lived in IV, too. There was a lot of binge drinking and yes, I think (partly) because of that, a lot of date rape. When it happened to me, a cop at the hospital told me, "Well, you might have done some things tonight that you regret, but that doesn't make it rape."

Ditto. When I went to UCSB in the late 90's early 2000's, date rape was as common as binge drinking (and the two were definitely related.)

I did all sorts of fucked up shit to my Barbies. I routinely shaved their legs, which would make the plastic come off in big satisfying strips. I'd also burn their boobs off and chop all their hair off. It didn't have anything to do with hating them, it was just amusing (I guess?) In high school, I had to do a…

Not really...we have less and less of it every day. However, a friend of mine who is in municipal water management said Santa Barbara will never be without water because there are too many rich people here. We also have a desalination plant that will take ONLY 20 million dollars to get up and running.

70 degrees and sunny here in beautiful Santa Barbara.

I really recommend water aerobics to anyone overweight and/or beginners starting to exercise. It's really low-impact, easy, lots of fun, and you'll be in the company of a bunch of blue hairs in skirted swimsuits so it's not so self-conscious making as some other activities. Also, I've found that once I've spent an…

Me too! I'd love a corgi, but a golden retriever would work, too. But pretty much any dog would be better than a ring we all know I'm going to lose.

I see why kids like them, but Hunger Games definitely should have been just one book. The third book sucked and the second was just a reheated version of the first one.
