Right?! I love when people bring something like wine or a nice dessert or something, but I by no means expect (let alone require) it. I provide all the food and a reasonable amount/selection of drinks for my friends in exchange for their company and their trek to my house (it's a trek for most if not all of my…

I don't really have a crazy story, tbh. I was super awkward about my last breakup though. My then-boyfriend and I had dated for exactly a year, and the whole time I'd been kind of unsure about even wanting to be with him. He was a lovely person, just not my type and I just couldn't find the "spark". The issue was that…

(Except the part where he locked her in and boarded up the door so that she had to literally break her way out...)

Thanks!

Make sure to stab the potato with a fork or a knife a couple of times beforehand though. My husband's exploded a potato or two that way (by not poking holes)

So...you would divorce someone for that? I don't know, it's gross but it's not THAT bad...

That makes sense, but it seems like the people who need to rely on seals for food/clothing/etc. already do, no? And in any case, that video embedded above, as well as her statements, are less "Hey guys, let's talk about how seal farming is something that could really benefit a lot of people for reasons x, y, and z, so…

I'm a proud, un-relenting meat-eater and would happily try seal given the chance (and if in the right context), and I have to agree. Everyone's latching on to you like you're saying "DON'T EAT SEALS!" I think what you're saying is that Tagaq's stance is just kind of pointless. I don't know the background of all this,…

As a side-note, is there a reason we don't just chew aspirin as a default? Is it less helpful in the long-run if it's chewed? Or just because it tastes awful?

NO.

I'm actually losing my shit over this. I'm dying at my desk, omfg.

This exact thing (cat falling off the 17th floor because he got too cocky on the balcony) happened to my cat Tofu about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, he landed on the patio table of the ground floor residents. We were heartbroken, obviously, but I have always felt pretty bad for the poor soul who came out onto his…

Honestly, I can see them as sisters, but I think she's much prettier than January Jones. She has softer/warmer features, but it could also just be that I tend to only see Ms. Jones as Ice Queen Extraordinaire.

I happen to be listening to "Anaconda" right now, and it's syncing up weirdly well.

I remember causing a huuuuge fight between my dad and my stepmom because of this. We were on a road trip and my little brother (18 years younger than me), about 2 at the time, kept hitting me, pinching me, yanking my hair, shrieking purely for attention, etc. It actually *really* hurt, despite the fact that he was so…

In case you're interested, I bought this for myself recently, because being on the Metro alone at night makes me feel ugh:

This was so wonderfully, beautifully written. I enjoyed this more than I've enjoyed any article in a long time. You are absolutely gorgeous, and you and Drew seem so happy. You're lucky to have him, but he's just as lucky to have you. I wish you both nothing but joy and love :)

I haven't watched the Formidable video yet, since I'm at work, but I just listened to the song for the first time, and holy shiz. Too many feels for a Monday morning. Depressed the hell outta me :(

I have to say I wasn't a big fan at first, but he's definitely grown on me. "Moules Frites" is my ready-for-summer jam, it reminds me of going out for moules with my grandfather in Hoeilaart. I'll be honest though, I think what made me go from "meh" to "yay!" about him was the simply finding out he's Belgian :P

When I was a sophomore or junior in college, I googled a high school teacher of mine, on whom I'd had a major crush (he was in his 20's). I wanted to see if he was on FB or Myspace or something. Instead, I found his entry in a sex offender registry. Turned out the guy had, in the few years between between my teacher…
