The intro paragraph on the page for a mid-level American soccer player once ended with "...and was the first human man to walk on Mars." It stayed that way for a surprisingly long time.

I miss the Moffat Writing Under Davies days. His episodes were the best until the minute he became showrunner. Downhill fast after that.

This certainly wasn't the best sex I've ever had but it definitely was the most incredible, earth-shattering sexual experience of my life: my very first orgasm, thanks to my trusty right hand, at the ripe old age of, I don't know, 14? After a handful (haha, handful) of times where I just rubbed my clit for a few…

YES. He's inescapable.

It's funny you bring up Parade's End, because I think that's where I find him least attractive. So many people had the same experience that you did but I just wanted to punch him right in his stupid frowny mouth. Did they give him artificial jowls or something? He even wore a uniform for large portions of the show and…

Yes, exactly. And even though I recognized my attraction to him while watching Sherlock, I still don't particularly find him attractive AS Sherlock, if that that makes any sense?

Ugghhhhh Moffat. I have such strong, conflicting feelings about him. He's done some incredible work in the past and has had a hand in some of my most favorite things, but, ugh, I just hate him. I really like Sherlock, but I have definitely done an "Ugh, that is SO Moffat. God, I hate that guy," during more than one…

I described him to a friend as what an alien race would create if they wanted to infiltrate humanity. Like they took a bunch of data about what people find attractive and used it to create the most pleasing human face possible, but, because they're aliens, they didn't quite get it right. Full disclosure, I think he's…

It snuck up on me. I'd always liked him as Sherlock, but in a he-fits-this-role-perfectly way, not in a what-do-you-say-we-take-those-pants-off way. But something must have happened between the second and third series, because I was inexplicably crazy in love when that episode started. I did a little giggly cheer at…

It's a strange thing. I am currently firmly on team He Can Get It, but I wasn't always and I can't pinpoint when the change occurred. I always really enjoyed Sherlock, but I didn't have any particular feelings either way towards Benedict (besides thinking he was great in the role). Then the third series started and…

I would have been Brad if I was a boy. In second grade, I had a crush on a kid named Brad and boy did I love telling him that fact. I weirdly thought it would make him like me?

I've got arm bumps, too, and I've found the only thing that really works for me is basically any kind of sugar scrub followed by the Dermadoctor KP Duty lotion that someone else in this thread mentioned. When I'm diligent about their use, my arms are almost 100% clear.

Roughly ten years ago, I was reading an article online about an English soccer player, and the article said "Gerrard and his partner Alex." I was so surprised that he was gay and I thought, "Man, England is being a lot cooler about this than America would be." Shortly thereafter, I discovered that Alex was, in fact, a…

Precisely! I had a convo with a friend the other day about the use of 'partner' in the US, and her complaint was that it was vague and not special enough, while I primarily like it because of its vagueness and I think it carries an extra significance that bf/gf does not.

I had this exact conversation with a girlfriend of mine just the other day. She hates the word partner because it sounds too vague and isn't special enough. I love it because it adds significance to the person in question. My argument was the same as yours, that boyfriend/girlfriend sounds so juvenile and belies the…

Or this one, my personal favorite:

These are the beeeesstttt! Whenever I go on a trip and know I won't have time to repaint my nails, I always use a Pixie Dust because they essentially don't chip at ALL. And if you swipe your finger across the tip right after you paint them, no scratchiness! They are amazing.

I LOVE Welsh ever so much and wish it was a more useful language to learn, because I would with alacrity.

He was also in an episode of Doctor Who (The Lazarus Experiment) and the movie every major British actor was in before they were famous, Starter for 10. He's great!

I think your sister is on to something. I moved to England a few years ago and lost almost 30 pounds in about 9 months, while exercising significantly less than I had in the States and eating way more chocolate and drinking all the cider I could find. As soon as I moved back to America a few years later, I packed 15…
