Quick! Someone photoshop a tiara, blonde curls, and rhinestones on a giant squid ASAP!

An actual, sincere question re: Amy Winehouse

I love my boyfriend, but on the phone this evening he told me that he believes that citizens have a right to own guns, as protected by the 2nd Amendment. Then he said that madmen who want to kill people would find other ways to do so if they didn't have guns. To that I said that guns are the most efficient way to…

This girl is going to comfort me tonight.

So did Frey!

Jean Valjean did the exact same thing and got 19 years in a chain gang. He did not get executed without a trial. (Just for clarification, 19 years is also ridiculous.)

Jenelle just told her lawyer that she couldn't go to jail (even though that's what she wants to do) on a certain day because she has tickets to see Kesha. Oh. My god.

This is going to be a woe-is-me post, so feel free to stop reading if you're not into hearing it. I'm on antidepressants and right now I am weaning off a certain medication and it is HARD. I'm still on 2 others (yes ladies, I am drugged up), but I guess this third one was really keeping my mood stable. I just…

I have problems with anxiety and sleep (among other things), so I have been taking a drug called Thioridazine (among other things) in order to help. I've been taking it for several years, and just recently I have begun to be scared about having the (permanent) side effect of tardive dyskinesia, a Parkinson's-like…

Just finished reading "A Thousand Lives" by Julia Scheeres— a book about Jonestown and its massacre. Uh mazing. But haunting! Jim Jones was (obviously) a madman and the crazy way he either brainwashed people into killing themselves and their children or forced them to do so is sooooooo fucked up. Definitely a…

Question for those ladies and gents out there who have applied to graduate school: I am looking at the essays required on the applications and they are all kind of different (but they do have some things in common). Did you write a different essay for each school you applied to?

I want to dye my hair red/auburn. Is this a good idea or a bad idea?

Good for you for keeping yourself safe! Very good. I think you're right in calling your counselors to see what their opinion is on the whole calling the police issue. It sounds to me like you would be helping protect potential future victims, but I think your counselors would probably know you and the whole type of…

Yes. What I don't get is how he can ADMIT it's a sexual ASSAULT and then say "it was okay" in the same sentence. What? Someone clearly doesn't understand what ASSAULT means.

Oh my goodness, you are not alone! I had a very similar problem— I was able to get things in there but it hurt like the dickens! Every time. I thought there was something wrong with me anatomically, but I recently realized I have vaginismus (and it sounds like you have it too) and not that my vagina was too small…

Just got home from an AMAZING first date I met on OkCupid! There may be hope for that site yet! Only flaw: he's a full 17 inches taller than me. Ah, the perils of being 5'1".

I had a date on Thursday night whom I met on OkCupid. I was so excited for the date because we had had really good conversations via messaging and text and he seemed smart, funny, and genuine. He turned out to be a jerk! One of the first things he did was make fun of me for being a barista at Starbucks, then he…

Those assholes who said "But you were so smart" can suck it if you ask me. It seems like who gets and who doesn't get a job is only very loosely related to academic success, and more related to luck and/or connections. My best friend is working at her father's friend's company, and because she is so connected to the…

I graduated from college last December and the only job I have been able to find is at Starbucks, so I'm a barista. Today my high school music teacher came into the store and saw me, and I feel like shit. I know work is work and being a barista is as honest a job as any, but I feel like she expected me to be doing…

When I was 16, my then obese mom (who was then 53 years old) joined Weight Watchers and was very "successful." So "successful" that even once she reached her goal weight she didn't stop losing weight and became underweight. Weight Watchers kicked her out of their program, and 2 weeks later my mom collapsed on the…
