I wish it was true. I had a friend (formerly bff before she moved away for many years returning for strained, awkward visits periodically. just a friend by the time of her wedding) and when she asked me to be her maid of honour I said no because I was just off unemployment, I was going for inpatient surgery three days…

If someone picks out clothes for you to wear they should pay for it. End of story.

This x100. Actually, can we have a post about how attending a wedding at all is optional (well, as long as you aren't the bride/groom)? I know we all love a good Bridezilla story and all, but I'm so over the martyr-complex diatribes about how someone is EXPECTING you to show up to a wedding across the country which…

The entire concept of a wedding is wholly unappealing to me. I hate attention and I have no family. I'd rather save the money and go on an amazing honeymoon.

Since when do brides or their moms EVER pay for their bridesmaids' gowns? And, believe it or not, it's hard for people to say no when asked to be in a wedding of a good friend. Saying no can make you feel like you aren't being a good friend, so people say yes even if the wedding is going to be a hardship.

She has two kids 10 months apart? And she named them Astaia and Phaedra? At least now they have a chance at normal lives

"...slept with 200 women...". Er, no. Slept with 200 girls maybe, but as a grown-ass woman I gotta say, I wouldn't fuck this pale, scrawny little child with my cousin's pussy.

"Idiot is idiot on Twitter" is not exactly breaking news.

Yeah, I never really understood the appeal of shit like this. Better to get drunk in the company of a few friends and laugh our asses off than to get punched and molested in a drunken sea of amorality.

How is he going to know its you doing this and not her? He'll likely assume its her and retaliate horribly. And even if he does know its you, he'll blame her for involving someone else in the whole thing.

Pretty terrible. He already sounds dangerous, and there's no guarantee that you outing him will make him treat her any better.

I can do it if I don't get too overloaded. Yesterday, I had to go to the post office and be lectured by 3 different people about my partner's mistake, and then sort through and open all of my scary-mail (debt collectors, medical insurance, medical bills) at once, and I just sat on the couch rocking back and forth and…

Last night my neighbor had a huge party. I live in a tight spaces apartment complex. I couldn't decide if I was jealous and wanted to hang out or if I wanted to be the crabby neighbor and tell those damn kids to shut the hell up. turning 30 has totally screwed with my head.

Feeling down about relationships. I loved a guy, but he broke up with me 6 months ago. I've met some new guys since then—including an awesome, sweet dude who treats me so well. But nothing compares to the chemistry I had with the guy that dumped me. And even though I'm "over" him, I still worry and wonder if I'll…

I don't live in LA, but I'm a NorCal transplant on the East Coast. You will go through various stages of culture shock for sure! I hope you enjoy it. :)

Ugh. I am *thisclose* to dropping out of grad school right now. I'm halfway done and I know I shouldn't but I am just so over it right now. My course work got all messed up in complicated, administrative ways and it means that the stuff I'm taking right now is either way out of my field or unnecessarily complicated…

My mom really loved 23andme. Anything in particular you're looking for?

Feeling demoralized and dejected about grad school. Some may remember I was working on a big exam a couple weekends ago? Well, I ended up having to do all these edits before they'd advance me to the next stage. Robbed me of most of my spring break. Had a full on meltdown the other night trying to finish the last of…
