My last name is Baker. One time in a Medieval history class, the professor goes, "Bakers were the lowest-class people in the Middle Ages." She totally knew my name!

Question. What's up with the salting pasta thing? I don't do that at home. Is that bad?

I was the opposite. I only dressed them up and did their hair, and then was like, "Now what?" Often I did actually have fashion shows.

The lack of stop, drop, and roll education in this country is abominable. That's not even touching on the almost total lack of stop, drop, and roll in movies and TV. Sure, it's dramatic to see wildly flailing arms with flames leaping off them, but what of the children? I actually saw someone stop, drop, and roll the…

I'm the same age as Prince William, and had a crush on him around the time Princess Diana died (I was/we were 15). I looked around the internet (in 1997, I don't even remember what it was like!) and somehow found this page that said something like, "write a letter to the Royal Family". I wrote something about how I…

I'm just watching this now and had to run over here and comment:

I'm sure it was just a reference to how they painted on her wedding dress.

I love how these guys are standing around chatting while a knighting is going on a few feet away. Seems a little more casual than I'd have guessed.

This'll be great for my BDD!

Is this supposed to be "starter"?

Yeah, maybe I should have. I don't know why I didn't. Maybe because they were family members and I didn't want it to be a whole thing.

Omg...that's terrible.

Immediately before I came to Jezebel just now, I posted on FB that I've discovered Sia and my life is forever altered. Then, here she is!

It reminds me...the other year I gave to different charities at Christmas for my Christmas card people and wrote it in their cards. But I didn't do it for the people who are really religious because I knew they wouldn't really like it or "get" it. It's interesting. I guess people at my former church give plenty for…

Uh, it's only bleak midwinter in a section of the world.

I had the opposite reaction! I was looking at my 7th grade yearbook and the 8th graders still looked older to me because I'm so used to them being the older grade. When I was that age, I always wondered if they would seem like kids to me when I became an adult. Turns out, they don't.

Hahaha! You speak exactly what I think, and I appreciate you for it. Sometimes I'd like to be able to say shit like this without people going, "Nooooo, you're great!"
