Seriously, when are all of the prominent straight ex-softball players going to say something about this?

@lilithmelpomene: Have you read Middlesex? The grandmother does the spoon-test that predicts a boy, and a "girl" is born (the grandmother's first time being wrong with her spoon test)... who turns out to be a boy anyways.

Another reason little girls would prefer anchorwoman Barbie to engineer Barbie-

@choufleur: I'm currently debating between all black and very dark brown- I want it to look a little bit like a birthmark (except, you know, a crescent moon too)

Reading about everyone's tattoos is making me really jealous.

@pear.shaped.Sara: Possibly the first time I've ever heard a fish described as badass.

Please, someone think of the high-school kids who really don't have anywhere else to go.

(Popenoe's son, a founder of the National Marriage Project, is worried that single mothers are putting the nation at risk of "social suicide").

Yall know you can make "homemade" funfetti putting sprinkles in cake batter? It's true.

@caddiewoodlawn: YES almost every wedding cake I've had has focused on form over function.

I don't know how to blow-dry my hair. I don't really want to learn though; the noise makes me jumpy and it's bad for your hair anyways.

@straightbuggin: Seconded. I always end up looking through the H&M bra section, and the only ones that come in a D cup look like they took six engineers and a welding iron to create.

I remember the first time I flipped the bird. It was whatever summer "Cry me a River" won some VMA award, and I think I was eleven. I was at the beach with my (very advanced) friend Monica, and she made me do it.

The reactions to this are so intense. Honestly, if I have a "type", geekiness is a factor (I like 'em quirky), but so is kindness and intelligence and all of these other things that they're claiming fall under this giant umbrella of "Geek"

@Alys Brangwin has a huge talent: Yep. It's one of the only exercise classes I've taken and stuck with. Mostly because at the gym in my old neighborhood, the sunday-evening Spinning for Beginners class attracted the 50+ crowd. And me.

"Romance, she knew, wasn't directly tied to your weight, there were a lot of other factors"

@Adah: I'm not saying the stereotype was necessarily true, I'm just saying it got me through high school.

@NefariousNewt: At my school, P.E. was an option for those who weren't into team sports (both could get you 'athletic credits' that you needed to graduate)

The last thing the clumsy-girls (such as myself) need is another reason to feel bad about themselves.
