Guys... I PAID OFF GRAD SCHOOL yesterday!!!!!!!! I do not have any words to express how ridiculously happy this makes me. I still have some other stuff to wrap up, but this was the big one.

Well, he certainly does represent his constituents, I’ll give him that.

no, I think she’ll flinch when it comes down to it, but may do enough damage on her way outta there to cause their eventual downfall. If she leaves behind enough chaos in her wake to cause them not to be prepared for Stannis’s arrival, for instance, or if she leaves Ramsey injured enough that he falls in a later…

oooh, I like that suggestion! I was wondering why they made such a point of Podrick being so good, and Sansa definitely deserves a reward for putting up with all these terrible boys’ crap.

I suspect Sansa’s been feeling a bit the same. From the conversation with Littlefinger last week, it seems that she’s been doing a lot of thinking about the risks specific to women playing this game. Honestly, she’s probably been thinking about that since finding out Joffrey’s true nature, and has had a lot of time to…

I HOPE she causes problems for him—I was reading that as her deciding to cause problems for Sansa. I like your interpretation better :)

nope, this is a complete divergence from the books. Ramsey married fake Arya/JPoole and Theon helped her escape because he knew the truth and knew her from before and couldn’t take it. Sansa was on the point of getting engaged to a Karstark who was said the be the heir to the north now. Seems like JPoole & the heir…

I do seem to remember a note in an interview with her from a while back that she was filming a rape scene—at that point I assumed it was with Littlefinger, but now that we’re going down this road, that makes me think that it will indeed be similar to the Jene Poole plotline (worst name ever, btw).

I think at this point, Sansa knows that she’s playing a very dangerous game. Any Tullys or Starks (or even Karstarks probably) would try to protect her and get her out of this mess, screwing up her endgame (Queen in the North! Also revenge). She’d have to do a lot of explaining to anyone who knew her or her family why…

That conversation made me think that actually Stannis is on the verge of a major win, but didn’t want to tip his hand. Remember how few episodes ago, the guys at the Iron Bank were all like, “hey Stannis, lovely as you are, the economy of Dragonstone just seems a little stale to us, like you’re maybe not such a great…

Something I wonder about is how those who fake it vs. formally ask align with job titles/hierarchy. I am able to “fake it” as defined in this article—I don’t feel like I’m faking anything, I’m just getting both my work crap and my home crap done and managing my own time, but I’m a mid-level person who has demonstrated…

that’s pretty much the whole thing that gets in the way of achieving my goals... not seeing when it’s time to look after myself.

ahh, gotcha. I’m in LA, so I hear you on the real estate market. My husband and I are also looking to buy a place, which probably doesn’t help my stress or time commitments either, and it is incredibly stressful. It sounds so great that your family is able to help you out! Having someone to talk it out with definitely…

I think I have too many goals, or at least too big and broad of goals. I’m having a hard time hitting them all.

I <3 Urban Outfitters’ Apartment section. They used to sell furniture in-store, but now it’s just online, but still great.

ahh, that makes the apology make sense. Thanks for clearing it up!

Guys, FYI his real page is just “Lee Maxwell Photography,” the “Lee Maxwell Judd Photography” page seems to have been set up explicitly for this debacle. On his real page, the bride is seen posting an apology to him saying “Hi Lee, I am SO SORRY if this media debacle has negatively affected you in any way. This was…

I do think that he’s referring to her personality, but agree he is hitting below the belt. He chose the description that would absolutely hurt the most.

yeah, I’ve come to the conclusion that a large amount of fashion is basically clothing that shows how beautiful people can still be beautiful despite wearing something terrible.

I feel like she had just put it together down in the crypt, where she said “and then he raped her.” The way she said it was half-question, half-statement, like she was asking Littlefinger for confirmation, which he gave with a very solemn nod. Sansa’s had a lot of time lately to think about the effects of rape on…
