All the replies to this have been gold, but in an effort to be semi-serious. There are a lot of good things that frats and sororities do, especially in smaller schools. Some of them are completely charity driven, others academic. My brother in law founded the branch of the fraternity that he was in and it was one of…

Exactly.

Sorry about the snap. My anger is not directed at you. Just had to deal with this recently and it's a sore subject.

Then don't put the titles. Just put John Doe and Jane Smith. There ya go. Grammatically incorrect and you're not completely ignoring one party's right to exist on their own.

Oh my god Kate Mulgrew. Just. Wow. I don't know if I would like the dress so much if she wasn't rocking the shit out of it. Damn gurl.

That's my plan!

Great. There goes my day. I shall now have to make a mix cd for road trips and it will pretty much just be these songs. Except Something in Red. Because I just cannot handle that much early 90s keyboarding.

I would say just be straight forward about it. When you're doing it, why you're doing it (or at least a brief overview of why you're doing it, I understand that these things can often stem from a very private place) and then go from there. If you want them to call you something different realize that it will take a…

I guess it would depend on how he reacts to them. If he doesn't understand why this would upset you then probably a lost cause. But I also understand having friends that are awesome, but only really to you (unfortunately) so as long as he can recognize that his friends are pretty assholish and make time with you away…

I would also wear these. Admittedly I am female and have a tendency to wear sweats and no bra all day as I laze about my own house. They look like comfortable pants for not going outside. But yes, way too expensive and I'm pretty sure I could make them myself.

But not the stories of Esther, Vashti, Miriam, Judith, Yael, and all three Marys. All of which do seem to contradict the negative views of women in the Old Testament. The point of the whole Jesus thing was an overthrow of the traditional values which included gender roles. Yes after he died and his disciples started…

Not a christian here but I have read the bible and while there are some pretty messed up issues in it this guy is still pretty noooooope, as far as getting the point.

Yeah but he's married. A lesser quoted part of Genesis clearly states "lo' Eve was required to clean the toilets for eternity in punishment for her sin. And God quothe unto Adam 'pee freely and with wild abandon, for it is known, bitch had it coming'' or something like that.

Oh man, Professor Elemental. I love that man.

Um, it's really common for movies to come out on Christmas. There's always about five or six every year. It's one of the biggest movie watching days of the year.

Writing a novel and my ass is bangin'. Legit. I'm a little obsessed with my ass and how awesome it is.

Which is one of the reasons I love The Proposal. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds' age difference is mentioned exactly once. In passing.

All cows act like dogs (or all dogs act like cows, whatevs), if you've ever spent any time with them you'd see this isn't that abnormal.

Aaaaaaand, now Chumbawamba is stuck in my head.

Eeeeeh, so here's the thing though. Is belief really a choice? If you believe something you believe it you can't just decide it's not real one day because it makes you mad. That's kind of like saying 'well child abuse is horrible and disgusting so I'm just not going to believe in it anymore (and yes I guess there are…
