Touche (though I'm preeetty sure you understood what I meant)

True story - he was my favorite part of that movie (and he didn't make me cringe as much as RDJ in blackface)

But there he functioned largely as the butt of a joke, didn't he? The Mission Impossible people probably wouldn't have come knocking quite as many times if he didn't look exactly the same as he always has

Maria, I'm not sure it counts as a "no makeup" selfie if you're clearly still wearing eyeliner?

You really think this is better? There's still a white guy rapping.

They're not cheerleaders, they're "song girls" ;)

one of my UCLA-alum coworkers sent this to me and jokingly asked if I knew any of these dudes...and I do :( :(

Also, saying how crazy it is that people assumed two boys got "special treatment," (they were only SOPHOMORES, GUYS), but totally acknowledging that other football stars would receive special treatment. Gross.

YES! Exactly this. I really wanted to see more of them.

Oh man, you are, like, my immediate neighbor. Jezzie meetup for sure!

That was my takeaway, too. Like she really was the one making ALL the effort. And then he complained that she cared too much about whether or not he was enjoying himself, or she asked him if he wanted anything, or she just tried to be a considerate girlfriend. THE NERVE!

Oh man, I would have. Although, I think the internet has really exacerbated tweens' capacity for batshit-insane fandoms. When I was 12, I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys, but the only people I had to talk about it with were my best friends. We didn't endlessly reblog gif sets or stalk them on Twitter or tell…

Right around Hollywood/Normandie, I think?

I LOVE Stories! When I moved to Echo Park 4ish summers ago I spent many an afternoon there taking advantage of the cool air, iced coffee and free wifi. I'm not in EP anymore, but I still make trips there for their used books :)

Exactly! I like places I can walk to, and the Grove makes my head hurt.

Wait. I live on the border of Little Armenia/Thai Town. What's up, neighbor!

Co-signing this. Can they just have it at Skylight books in Los Feliz? My favorite spot for readings!

I take back every complaint I've ever made about my boyfriend being a neat freak. All of them. If you need me, I'll be luxuriating in my freshly-laundered sheets. So soft.

I've always had trouble with Steve Madden. It's something about the shape of my feet and the cut of his shoes - sad times for me, because his shit is CUTE

Word.
