Fat shaming is disgusting- being fat itself is not. Flying is just odious in general for many people.

Yes! Young Merlin Excalibur Prequel PLEASE.

Solidarity on the Chardonnay hatred. With the exception of Chablis, that butter oak abomination is surprisingly difficult to pair with food. I've never been a huge fan.

I have a background in wine, and Vinho Verde really is a great, inexpensive, easy drinking varietal for young and old palates that pairs with a lot of stuff.

Côtes du Rhône all of the way! Haters to the left.

My go-to line when someone comments on my pale skin is:
"I'm not pale, I'm vintage."
Always good for a laugh. Also, some women used to take small doses of arsenic to obtain pale skin back in the day. Fun fact.

First and foremost, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. It sounds truly and utterly awful. As someone who was also teased mercilessly, I can emphasize with your pain.
But, (I'm sure that you know this) looks don't make someone a person of worth. I'm sure that you have immeasurable quantities of qualities that make…

I just am hesitant to watch because there are so many little tributes and homages in the books that I feel like won't be seen on screen. For instance, as an ardent New York Giants fan, I always get really excited when Martin makes a nod to my team in the books.
As a fan of HP, I bet you loved when Robin Potter got a…

See, as someone who was is an ardent fan of the books (I also have two ASOIAF themed tattoos- one is based on the Red Wedding, which I had to hide from my show-watching friends for YEARS) I much ask:
1) Did you read the books?
2) How do they compare, honestly?

My friend interned in the Houston DA's office for the summer. While he was there, he saw a lewd conduct case in which the officer wrote: "She placed her less than clothed buttocks upon my genital area and moved rhythmically in pleasurable manner. "

H-Town can GET IT!!!

Counting down the days until we ALL FEAST on Frey Pies!
