Sing it, sister. Just today, I was meeting with people about a possible work opportunity, and in reference to a long-hours little-pay kind of job, I said that, at 30, I didn't want to do that kind of work anymore. It was met with a shocked "You're 30?!" Yes! You have my resume in front of you! You can see I've got a…

I have done that literally every time I've encountered a celebrity in the wild. I always assume I know them from school or an old job, so I stare them down, hoping they'll recognize me and clear up the confusion. I've eventually realized they were famous every time but once, but when I approached Lukas Haas and asked…

A question for the MAC wearers. For about two years, I wore Ruby Woo every single day and loved the crap out of it. It stayed on all day, no matter what I did. It didn't flake off, didn't bleed or settle into creases. For whatever reason, I stopped wearing it for a couple of years and when I tried it again, it was…

Disguuuuusting. Usually I can understand the logic behind someone liking something I don't, but not this time. Too gross to fathom.

I had one of those conversations ages ago with an all-male group of friends. Mention I think two dudes kissing is hot, all of them look horrified and say that's so disgusting, how could I possibly like that, etc. I ask if they find two girls kissing attractive, and they're all, "Yeah, but that's different." NO IT'S…

A college friend of mine just got a shiba a few months ago. He flew all the way out to the opposite coast to get it from a breeder. I've wanted a shiba since about third grade, but I know I'll never get one because they would be too difficult for me. So I congratulated him on his new adorable ball of fluff, and I…

I hate cats and I'm a woman. Am I a misogynist?

I need to ask myself some important questions.

That was my reaction, too. Like it was an attempt at satire that just didn't really work. My first thought was that if someone like Patton Oswald had tweeted it, the response would have been very different. People would have read it as satire first (since we all know that's what he does), and anyone calling him racist…

Every time someone says vitamin supplements don't do anything (like several of the other comment threads on this very article), I can't help but tell them how B12 supplements literally saved my life. I discovered I had a deficiency only after spending several months being incredibly (and inexplicably) depressed.…

Up until this year, I'd never known anyone that did this. Of course I saw the disgusting masses of drunk Santas each year, but I'd never actually MET any of those people. Even in college, I don't think anyone I knew went. This year, however, every single intern at my job was psyched out of their minds to go to…

The Big Red Chair will never not make me laugh. Graham Norton is a national treasure.

FOR REAL. After years of dieting and exercising that led nowhere, I moved to England, said "Fuck it" and ate all the Cadbury and drank all the cider I could get my hands on. Lost 25 pounds in 9 months. I'm a witch!

I moved back to the US from the UK about a year ago, and unless they've grossly changed their sizing structure in that time, this is definitely not the case. When I first moved, I was a US size 14 and was horrified when not only the UK 14 but also the 16 didn't fit me! For an additional piece of anecdata, I lost about…

A guy once GOT OFF A BUS to hit on me! That was the weirdest thing I'd ever experienced. Not surprisingly, he got creepy really fast, insisting I come over to his house that night so he could make me dinner, saying he "wouldn't take no for answer." I was on the way to the grocery store and he asked if he could come…

My sister has two retired racers, and they are wonderful, chilled out, super gentle dogs.

I'm a little late to the party, but NO MORE LITTLE WHITE GLOVES!

I was the same way with Nathan Fillion! He was so memorable as Caleb that I interpreted all of his affable kindness in Firefly as a front to lure everyone in so he could do something horrible to them. It took me several episodes to accept that wasn't going to happen.

When I moved to England a few years ago, "banter" was the hardest thing for me to get. We have trash talk in the US, but it's got NOTHING on banter. I actually took my boyfriend aside one day and suggested he be nicer to people at work because I was genuinely afraid that no one liked him. The longer I was there, the…

I was at a Russell Brand show a few years ago, and some woman (who was quite possibly drunk) kept shouting that she loved him and she was trying to throw something to him on the stage and ended up knocking down some footlights. I wish I could remember what he said, because he handled her so perfectly. He was very…

I referenced the Borrowers the other day and nobody got it. It was extremely disappointing.
