I’m 27. I was not too old for Shrek!!!!

You should be ashamed for telling me the truth like that.

SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA RULE ME

I’m not afraid of being old. However, the kids can like what they like and it won’t get my undies in a bunch.

This has nothing to do with anything but now your username makes me imagine Beyonce singing “better call Molly with the Mediocre Hair”.

...Really? I know I’m very much not a teen anymore but come on. Who would want to do that?

Some people knit or foster kittens or play sports

Wait, wait, wait.

People enjoy bitching. I think it must release endorphins or something.

Sometimes the parents don’t even know and are finding out with their guests. That sounds pretty exciting to me. Would I have one? No, not really my bag. Do I think people who hold them are awful? Absolutely not. I don’t see why this is a bad reason to hold a party. People hold parties for silly reasons all the time.…

I’m not a gender reveal party kind of person either, but I’m tired of people bitching about how awful they are. Why exactly are they awful? Because they’re self-centered? If you aren’t into it, don’t hold one and don’t go to one! It’s that simple. Nobody is forcing you to attend anyone’s dumb baby party. Why get so…

I’m not a big white wedding or gender reveal kind of gal. However, I find people who bitch about how awful gender reveal parties are to be far more obnoxious than people who throw gender reveal parties.

I dunno, I don’t know anyone for whom that channel is not a popcorn eating guilty pleasure.

Thank you for the explanation. I am still a bit confused as to what they do, but good for them for making a living playing drums and being blue, I suppose!

Nobody who watches the Honey Boo Boo people thinks they’re smart for watching it. Those shows are guilty pleasures. People enjoy an over the top train wreck and can’t help themselves.

I googled Blue Man and I’m still confused. What do they do?

I don’t know why he couldn’t have just said, “Oh, no, I’m just not a hugger!” and made it less awkward. Hugging is part of American culture whether all the people who have touch aversion on Jezebel like to admit it or not. She didn’t demand to suck his dick. She asked for a hug. She should have backed off. She did not…

I can go either way. I don’t insist on a hug, but I don’t reject a hug either. I try to carefully gauge if the person I’m meeting is a hugger, handshaker, or a “hello”/mini-waver.

Thank you for the information! I appreciate the thoughtful response.

I don’t have a car or anyone to rely on for a ride places and public transit here is terrible. Walking to the nearest bus stop is long and terrible and usually results in someone trying to buy me on my way there.
