THANK YOU LINDY!!!!!!!

I hate crap like this so much, because it's like, people can just go out and get married? It's the same thing with kids. Apparently it's as simple as just getting married and having kids. Why didn't I think of that? I had no idea that this life experience that I've been wanting for 32 years is right there for the…

Good question. I don't think I've made pacts with myself in that manner, but I make pacts all the time based on stuff other people do, like, "If he doesn't say hello to me a second time today, that means he hates me and I don't matter." That might sometimes lead to depressive behavior. I assign tests to my mom a lot…

That's a good way to look at living - a list of people to not die for. I might just adopt that. :)

Honestly, having been suicidal, that's exactly what a depressed mind expects. The primary thought is, "Nobody loves me, so why should I go on?" In fact, it's what the mind actually wants. If I were to read this anecdote while I was depressed and suicidal, it would sound like a "go right ahead" to me. I don't subscribe…

The worst is how they pronounce it on commercials. Wouldn't you think it should be "fla-teet-za"? Nope. It's "fla-tee-za". :(

Haha! I don't think so! Cool encounter though.

I have told this story a lot, probably, but I got really into Coldplay back in 2001 and became obsessed with and emotionally invested in them. I had a website about them (still have it, but don't really do anything on it anymore) and through that I had somewhat of a connection to their website manager and this other…

I have the same reaction to funerals, like when people take a photo of the person who died. I find that really odd. I suppose maybe some people like it for a memory, but what are you going to do with that? Frame it?

Like baby Prince George!

I had a taste of that recently when all the Elizabeths were GONE of something I really wanted. :-|

When I was doing genealogy, I noticed that 100 or 200 years ago it was okay to name a child the same name as another child who had died. I always thought that was sort of interesting. I don't think you'd see that nowadays.

Oh man, I love the name Régine as a French name, but don't love Regina. Having no ties to anything French, I would have a hard time naming someone that, though.

A lot of people have mistakenly called me Emily for some reason (I'm an Elizabeth). I learned to answer to it. I s'pose it's because they're sort of similar sounding and have a similar place in people's consciousness.

One of my coworkers always writes mine like that. It's so odd.

My mom named me Elizabeth planning to use Betsy! But I've always gone by Elizabeth.

I think she just has no concept of money.

I cannot do the carry-on thing. I am a person who gets really stressed out by the security checkpoint and I have to have as little as possible or else I just get really anxious. I had to bring insulin and needles in carry-on on an international flight last year and was worried about it for months beforehand. It was…

On her Twitter page it says their birth dates and they're a year and 3 days apart. Unless that's something else than birth dates. They're 11 months and 23 months, as far as I can tell.

Every time I see his name I brace for some terrible comment. He's the worst.
