Oh, I like this game! I have:

Some people just don't understand why you'd want to do an activity by yourself. Almost every time my boyfriend and I finish doing one thing (watching a movie, for example), he turns to me and says, "What's next?" And sometimes my answer is, "I don't know! I would just like to aimlessly surf the internet/read a…

Ooh, I have a question: When should you take your GPA off your resume? I'm four years out of college and have been working steadily since I graduated, so I feel like I've amassed enough professional experience that I don't need to pad the resume with college stuff. But I graduated with a 4.0, which made employers give…

He turned up in my dreams the other day. Does that count?

I kind of like it. It's like two creepy proverbs put together.

I want him to come over and make me breakfast.

Oh, I love The House of Mirth. It's one of my all-time favorite books. They did a marathon reading of it at the Center for Fiction this year, and I stayed for the whole thing. I'm bookmarking that essay for reading later.

Thank you for making me feel less crazy. People's judginess—especially in NYC—is totally a thing! I will never forget how embarrassed I was when I worked at a non-profit and a coworker commented on how shabby my shoes were. Ever since then, I've tried to buy high-quality things (usually at steep discounts). I work in…

Hmm... I'm curious whether you're recommending this to me to chastise me for participating in conspicuous consumption or because I'm interested in critiques of conspicuous consumption. It sounds like an interesting book, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

I'm not saying that the boots don't have utility apart from their signaling value. As you say, they are well made and last years. But they are distinctive-looking and popular among a certain set of young people who presumably don't have large incomes, and most people know how expensive they are. They're not just a way…

Yeah, I would obviously prefer not to have to devote money or mental energy to such shallow concerns, but it is a shallow world we live in, and you are rewarded for conformity and punished for nonconformity. Even if you're aware of the pressures to conform—and even if you disagree with the merits of the normative…

I'm a Millennial (26 years old), and I'll admit that I've started making some aspirational purchases in the past couple of years. Not so many tech gadgets—mostly clothes, shoes, and the occasional handbag.

As a curvy-ish girl, I am a fan of Adriano Goldschmied jeans. They are pretty much the only ones I've had that simultaneously aren't too big in the waist, aren't too small in the butt, and aren't too long in the inseam. I have their Stilt skinny jeans, which are very flattering, and their Stevie cut, which is similar…

As an almost-as-freakish 32D over here, Betsey Johnson bras are also my favorite. They're so comfortable, damn it! Time to go stock up.

Yes. And so is everything else. How is this even a question?

This is impossible. Everyone knows that for ladies, the only type of "appealing food" is salad.

Not especially likely. I've never been pregnant, but I've had a couple of scares, and it's always turned out to be PMS. The symptoms are often very similar.

When I did this, I got vanilla beans on eBay from these guys: [stores.ebay.com]

I've never gotten a marriage proposal after missionary sex, but I've gotten marriage proposals based on my delicious, deep-dish brownies.

I will reiterate the love for other commenters have shown for Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing—she is the wittiest. I also admire Viola in Twelfth Night, who has a lot of emotional fortitude. Viola's "Patience on a monument" speech, about unrequited love, is one of my favorite passages in all of Shakespeare.
