Could you tell him this? If I were the guy, I'd either be flattered, or feel the need to confess that the feeling wasn't mutual. Either way you'd know. In any case, it sounds as though you're pretty convinced you'd like monogamy / something more to happen, and he either assumes that you want something else, or wants…

And how Gwyneth Paltrow should just disappear off the face of the planet...

You are beyond awesome. I love it.

I think you both had an entirely valid perspective. Your mum got up early to bake and was going out of her way to make the cake a little more healthy (despite the fact that I'm sure she wishes she didn't need to be concerned with such things), and instead of being appreciated, she hears a complaint; you, meanwhile,…

Well duh. Unless she's the spawn of some immortal god, of course her mother is going to die. She's complaining about being reminded of this? And her mother was angry as a result? Man.

Why would one not want to attend Sarah Lawrence? It sounds amazing.

Get a snipe account! Bidsniper is free and it means you don't need to worry about checking in / items being bid up. Either that or just search for the 'Buy it Now' / 'Make an Offer' items. The advantage to the latter strategy is that you don't need to wait the extra days to find out whether you've one. :)

Sometimes I wish I'd gone to aesthetician school, if only so I could induce such a personal transformation. Because wow— she looks like two different people.

I'm guessing 19, although I have a feeling you'd care more about content than length!

So start one! It's not hard to take out a loan for a small business (or even a non-profit) if you have a solid plan backing you. And it is possible to start a non-profit on a shoestring.

No— not annoying! Just disconcerting. I just have a personal preference for bodies that develop in pursuit of something else than fitness for fitnesses sake. Strange, perhaps, but true. :)

I find the women on BodyRock unnerving. My favorite form of fit bodies (both men and women!) are those that come from doing something—be it rock climbing or swimming or basketball or running whatever—rather than being sculpted. There's something sexier about a more functional strength / fitness, I guess. Or maybe it's…

I know TurboTax Premier supports foreign income forms, and I'm pretty sure Tax Act does as well. The only issue is that you won't be able to e-file, because your AGI (it sounds) will be zero. Still, it's not hard to use TT or TA to complete the forms and then just print and mail them! And worst case you can always…

Happy birthday! And I know exactly what you mean— I have no problem with bars and parties and hanging out, but I'll generally (and overwhelmingly) prefer an evening at home with a stack of books or a long wander with my camera alone through the city to something more social, and it's sometimes difficult explaining…

Start a business! You can work your own hours and nurture it through college and who knows where you'll be when graduation comes? I'd rather have employees than be one. :)

My hero. I wish I were in Florida. :)

I don't really celebrate holidays (my parents were agnostic / atheist when I was growing up) I'm never offended when people wish me a happy holiday, be it Hannukah or Ramadan or Christmas or Chinese New Year. It's more the spirit of the message that counts, in my view, and who am I to begrudge anyone sharing a little…

I like Betty as well, in part because I find her oddly relatable— not so much her position, but her reactions and responses to what has to be an unpleasant situation for someone with ambition and certain smarts. She doesn't seem a bad person at all, and more just someone who's found herself in a life she didn't…

This post made me inordinately happy. Yay egg dying and pumpkin carving and card making and window decorating. The world needs more sweetness. :)

That comment was completely uncalled for. People enjoy sex in different ways—some are quiet, some are loud; some active, some still; some laugh, others cry. For him to tell you to "look" differently is just ridiculous! What matters is that you're comfortable and happy and enjoying yourself. If he didn't think you…
