During one of the worst parts of my teenage ugly phase (that lasted about eight years, I might add), I was sitting on the bleachers in the gym waiting for something. I was talking to a friend and someone bumped my left knee. I looked to my left and saw one of our school’s basketball stars sitting there. He had

It shouldn’t make me so happy that that kid has remained a giant loser, but...well, there you go. Glad didn’t let that dipshit’s rejection keep her down.

Yep, same experience here. Were you also a good student? That seemed to be an equally grevious sin in the eyes of my bullies.

I’m 41 and feel weirdly grateful to have grown up during the early years of HIV and AIDS. We heard about it all the time - Pedro on The Real World, movies like Philadelphia, celebs like Magic Johnson and Freddie Mercury were all front and center in the culture. People seemed very willing to use condoms during sex

I went just one prom, my senior year. My teen years had been very tumultuous, and I’d had a really, really (REALLY) severe teenage ugly stage. I mean, it was really horrible. But by the end of senior year I had lost a considerable amount of weight and was by then somewhat out of the depression that had followed me

If anyone deserves to label their relationship with their father(s?) as “it’s complicated,” it’s Ronan Farrow. It’s also messy, horrifying, confusing, mysterious..

I’m originally from eastern Iowa, I admit I may be biased.

I kind of hope Jinger accepted her husband’s courtship and proposal on a condition: getting her the fuck away from her creepy family.

I would watch this show so hard.

They may miss Fire Island this summer, but the chick should be on its own by November so the boys can still do the White Party.

So you’re saying we’re the same person, right? The mental gymnastics I subjected myself to in painstakingly searching for “meaning” among all of my many, many head relationships makes my head spin. Shit, I could have written The Great American Novel with that kind of brainpower. Praise Jebus that college involved

This video is everything that ever was and ever shall be. <3

Amen. Even to 12 year old me it made no fucking sense.

I can answer that! Nope, he’s a Democrat. He attended the national convention a few years back.

Thank you! I didn’t even find him funny on SNL. He constantly broke character and started giggling in the middle of his bits. His comedy seems unsophisticated for me - it’s just lowest hanging fruit kinds of gags. I hope NBC is finally regretting the travesty that was Conan’s firing and see that they’re left with

Thoughts:

Waaaaay back in the day I was on a Sons of Anarchy message board (yeah, I know) and saw in message from a poster imploring Jax to quit with the “George Jefferson walk.” That thought still makes me laugh because it was absolutely true.

I see Prince Philip too. Here’s a shot of him as a baby:

My envy is strong. It was required for us every fucking semester of every fucking year.
