That is exactly what I find so baffling about this. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. (because if you do, we get to assign your intention to it - good or bad)

Goddammit, as a long-time reader, this comment is getting truer by the day.

Thank you! I'm baffled by this response. (and a proud oregonian - for non-football-related reasons)

Indeed!

6:21 PST and I'm already in my pjs. My boyfriend is already asleep.

I refer to reality tv as my guilty pleasure.

Oh Sweetie, you may have read my post wrong. I'm not with my crazy family, and my kids are grown, so I'm having the most relaxing xmas eve.

I'm at my home without my parents or my children! I'm not trying to rub it in, but I've been your position for so many years of my life I can totally relate.

I'd love to drink with you. I've started at home without you.

I like you.

There's a scientology center in Portland Or, and they just finished a mass advertising campaign with a blonde with vacant eyes inviting you to join.

That was exactly the other drink I was thinking about!

Gin and orange juice make a nice holiday cocktail.

I can't imagine a house like that doesn't come with staff.

I'll have a swig of that.

Was back for the next term in January. I was young and very resilient! I can't even imagine doing it now.

I had my first son the day after final exams before Winter break. He was so considerate of my schooling.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was trying to say!

I'm a huge pothead, and I completely agree!
