I'm a registered organ donor even though more than likely my organs are no good to donate. It's the principle of the thing. The dirt doesn't need my liver if someone else does.

About 230 people right now. Most aren't heavy users and I've hidden the worst of the lot, so my feed is exactly what I want it to be. Mostly organizations I follow with a few witty and important statuses from the people I genuinely care about.

Yeah, no one gets the password to my home computer. Period. If someone needs to use it for whatever reason (a) they'll get a very restricted guest account and (b) they will use it while I'm in the same room. My laptop is my life.

My facebook rules:

Every time I feel a UTI coming on, I drink lots, and lots, and lots of water. Enough so I have to pee at least once an hour. Works like a charm. This only works very early on though.

Sadly I've dated two people who qualified as too dumb to fuck. Neither for very long.

So here's the thing about pandas. Last year after the earthquake the zoo posted a story about how various animals behaved before and during. Most animals acted like animals should: nervous and twitchy and hidey.

I sort of vaguely know someone who's an absolute nobody who was there. By which I mean not on reality TV nor involved in politics as far as I can tell.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE NO KIND OF ABUSE IS FORGIVABLE. HAPPY NOW?

Nope. Not gonna happen. Animal abuse is simply unforgivable period.

6. He'll make a donation to an anti-DV charity and claim that DV is part of his "culture."

Yeah that's not possible. Bacon is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy. Brussels sprouts should be banned under the Geneva Convention.

Not necessarily. I know a lot of people who presented as stereotypically type 1 at diagnosis (weight loss, flu-like symptoms, BG well above 400, etc etc) who are actually type 2. It happened to me in fact. And I know someone who was diagnosed as type 1 after a random blood test (followed up by the antibody test etc).…

I wonder how much of this is due to the natural teenage habit of refusing to comply with doctor's (or anyone else's) orders. I know when I was a teen and my doctor warned me I was at very high risk I basically said fuck you and kept on with the gummy worms.

RIGHT? Try throwing some into your next fruit salad and adding a tiny bit of cayenne. You'll thank me later.

I will only take my vitamins in gummy form. I'm diabetic and really can't have candy but holyshit I would sell my right arm* for a giant bag of gummy worms. So the gummy vitamins are a tiny rebellion against my doctor and my otherwise very grown-up diet.

I like vegetables. I like them a lot. I like weird things like jicama and I've been known to eat plum tomatoes as snacks. Until about a year ago I hated asparagus and now I'm willing to admit it's edible when cooked properly. One of my goals for this summer is to learn the right ways to cook eggplant and cauliflower…

Wow! You'd think UC Santa Cruz would have beaten Riverside's ass on this one. UCSC does have gender-neutral apartments although the bedrooms are technically segregated.

I. DON'T. KNOW. There are a number of vegetables he won't touch (whole or chunky cooked tomatoes being another mystery to me) but he loves artichokes, which I think are proof Satan is alive in this world. It's really strange.

It was a cheap pot and when I asked him to buy me a new one the replacement was several times better than I was figuring on. So all in all, I won.
