@UnknownLegend: Have you thought of becoming a foster parent?

@likepenguins: Yessssss. That song really bugs me and you just pinned down exactly why.

I was totes at that game! He was really casual about the whole thing and wouldn't let them acknowledge him in any special way (ie, ruffles & flourishes or Hail to the Chief).

Man, it's interesting to put a name on why I got dumped on Monday and why he won't try to hold out til the end of the semester when we're both not going through mental illness/graduate degree hell so we can talk out our feelings like real people. I'm still unsure of what to do with his Christmas presents though.

@Deathbypapers: Oh jeez, I just had a similar situation, though not long distance, but it blows. Big hugs if you want 'em.

@LadyBossyBoots: I love Van Meeter!

Those oil paintings of the Obamas are the only non-professional athlete black people in the entire Sky Mall. Last weekend on a flight my boyfriend and I counted two whole minorities, and this includes all disembodied body parts (people only want white hands modeling their unbreakable wine glasses). So weird.

@Pogue Mahone: I lol'd. #femen

@MijaMia: I just wanted to say that I loved this analysis. Spot on. #artssake

@Kitty: But they aren't "guys," trans women are, you know, women. #pageants

@FaceMonkey: Who knew that would ever happen? #girlsnextdoorsmores

@CashMoneyHoney: Agreed but I really couldn't be happier. #lilithfair

@futuremouse: It's also a Moby song that features MC Lyte. #lilithfair

My eleven-year-old self just died. The Lilith Fair was my first concert ever, since my dad decided I should get some ass-kicking ladies as musical role models. Aaaaah so excited! #lilithfair

@itsonreserve: I follow a couple people that use Twitter to write short stories. It's neat. #margaretatwood

@Mimi Fleck: I thought they looked excited! #hellokitty

@Anycah: That story literally made my jaw drop in utter horror. #reproductiverights

@rd2uk: Each of the kids has their own fund set up, so I'd imagine most of their money goes into those accounts, not the joint parent account. Oh god why do I know that.

Zahara is so fierce! I sort of love the Jolie-Pitt brood — they all seem to be so filled with personality.

@SarahMC: Oh, as for places - the Chi Cha Lounge on U Street is pretty delightful and has good bar food, and Local 16 (also on U St.) has a sweet roof bar.
