I think middle school is a psychologically traumatic time for most people... it sticks in the brain.

Oh I totally have the losing control of the car dream!! I had those even before I started driving, isn't that weird?

I hardly ever remember my dreams, but I do have the pregnancy nightmare fairly often. Also I dated my husband my last year of high school and throughout college, so I STILL can't have a sex dream that actually results in sex, only parents walking in on us (which thankfully never happened but it was a real fear.) I…

My narcissistic streak mainly involves really enjoying self-analysis (like those personality type quizzes, both legit psychology ones and the ones that tell you which TV character you are or assign yourself D&D stats, I don't care, give me all of them!) and this sounds like super fun. I'm happily married, but I want…

so agreed. and it buys good food and furniture and pants without holes in them! such dreams I have.

This makes me feel bummed. I'm about to start a job making almost twice what I was making (granted, I was making practically nothing) and I was expecting to feel super rich.

I was discussing how the line of succession works with coworkers today and how this kid now trumps Prince Harry, and the terms I found myself using made me feel like I was talking about Game of Thrones, not real life. And that in a nutshell is why people like me care at all about this, I think. I mean, get them some…

Also anyone reading who's had no luck with rx meds, I urge you to give feverfew capsules a try ! They save my day regularly. Especially in combo with a painkiller and a snack and if possible a few minutes of shut eye.

Right there with you. Except I've been on BC for 8 years... oops? My doctor failed to present me with an alternative when they tried to take my pills away, so I went to another doctor. I'll get my tubes tied eventually so I can not have a stroke.

My husband fits into my clothes and I feel weird about it because he is a big guy. Not overweight, but he is very tall and has a large frame and I always feel the impression that he is like a big cuddly bear. I too am tall and curvy, and seeing my shorts billow around his tiny little butt kinda makes me feel like I…

Definitely recommend reading the third book - although the Jaime portrayal on the show was one of the most perfect of this past season, there is so much great detail about him in the book that totally won me over. Even getting in his head while he was still an asshole I couldn't help but find him charming... the guy…

This is the moment I realized only fictional evil people can be redeemed to me by doing good deeds. Real life has no Jaime Lannisters.

I wonder about this stuff all the time. Like looking at Renaissance drawings or even like this, old photos, there do seem to be certain "types" of faces from different eras, and I can't tell how much of it is styling or legitimate, idk, genetic trends? Someone come in here and science-talk me!

I did LDR for two months when my husband (then-boyfriend) was studying abroad. NEVER AGAIN. I am needy and like to cling to him like a sloth and I'm not ashamed.

I think Katniss also realizes Gale is too similar to her in that they've become willing participants in the violent awfulness of their society, when Peeta stays good to the core, and she needs that. But yeah that was pretty much the last straw.

Yeah agreed. (spoilers ahead) I thought Madge was a cool minor character and the movie suffered from omitting her. And Peeta is so great because he takes on so many characteristics typical of a female protagonist (and vice versa with Katniss) - he's smart, charming, witty, and totally compassionate, caring,…

Yeah I just kind of ignore that epilogue cause, as someone who also doesn't want kids, it's messed up, yo. And doesn't seem to fit into Peeta's self-sacrificing MO.

I totally got why she would choose him (cause I would! screw Gale!) but it was way too quick and not at all satisfactory payoff for the drawn-out waffling that led up to it. I'm hoping they'll fix that in the movies but they seem to be going the other way.

I hope they get Peeta right this time. They wrote his part so horribly in the first movie that people who never read the books told me he came off as a stuck-up wimp and I see exactly why they got that impression. Also every time Katniss had some legitimate feeling for him seemed to be omitted, and I don't see any…
