I'm not all the way through, but man, I hate the Mail Chimp ads and Cristina Gutierrez's voice. Is it common for lawyers to scream every word like that? It was exhausting listening to her.

I was really little the first time I met a cat. I pet it too long, apparently, and it scratched me. Somehow that tiny incident caused serious trauma. I avoided all cats at all costs. No eye contact. A minimum of 20 feet away. No touching. So of course they would come up and rub against my legs while I sat rigidly and…

Yeah, I would have been like "uh, so, is there any way we could find that witch? This isn't what I signed up for."

THAT IS THE WORST

If anyone ever reacts distastefully to my love for (non-human version) Beast, I will end them.

When I was a naive 17 year old college freshman, I had this huge crush on the president of TKE (I repeat, I was 17 and didn't know better). During one party, we finally ended up talking for awhile. He asked for my number! Sweet! Later that night he texted me and after a brief conversation, told me I looked really good…

We all know that up until 2008, the REAL Sexiest Man Alive was Paul Newman. I assume that was included in the small print of each People issue.

Besides the obvious (Charlie Hunnam), I love that this picture reverses the usual half-naked woman/fully clothed man dynamic. Nice!

Hydroquinone has this reputation as dangerous and a "known carcinogen" which is basically bullshit. It's carcinogenic in rats that were fed or injected with it in large doses, and has not been shown to have mutagenic (DNA-changing) effects in humans. It works as a melanin inhibitor, so it will lighten the skin you put…

Try Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash! Derms always recommended Cetaphil to me, which irritated my skin and broke me out. I've been using Purpose for years now and it's never irritated my skin.

Very interesting! It makes sense... I actually remember in first grade, we were in the computer lab typing something. I was using British spelling (since I thought it was cool and strange, haha) the teacher told me, "I use that spelling too, but since we're in the US, we should use American spelling in school." Kind…

Interesting article, thank you! Random question: I think you've mentioned you grew up in Texas. I have been really curious about why you write with British spelling ("recognises", etc.). Is it something to do with teaching in Japan? Do they prefer that spelling?

This commercial makes my ovaries explode... hot man, puppies, hot man who loves puppies, interspecies friendships... UGH

Adults-only means a detailed description of Almanzo's seduction techniques, right? Because I would definitely read that. (Insert swoonworthy pic of him here)

Dear world: more fluffy kitten rivalries, less of all the other stuff I read on Gawker sites today.

Those types of encounters actually make me feel really good. The line for me, I guess, is their tone and apparent intent. I think it's very flattering when anyone compliments me and doesn't pursue anything past that, just lets me go. Some guy in a grocery store tells me I'm beautiful and moves on? I probably think…

I used to live in a semi-rural area where everyone has trained their dogs to be really aggressive and mean, and they don't fence them in either. I used to go jogging and was chased home several time by snarling dogs. One day, these two smaller, interesting-looking dogs were in the road when I went out to jog. They…

As a Northwesterner, I approve of his choice. FLANNEL AND BEARDS FOREVER

I need to know what he was saying to them in goat!
