@t-yo3: I think that's the shadow of the artist...the purple-gloved hand belongs to her.

When I was in college, I had a heartbreaking, obsessive, and majorly unrequited crush on a friend of a friend. Though I'd only spoken to him a few times, I found his MySpace and spent hours scouring it for every detail about his life and likes and friends in order to develop the appropriate seduction tactics.

@The Conductor: Sense & Sensuality? Northbanger Abbey? Pride & Penetration?

My mother always told me that mosquitoes were attracted to CO2, so if I wanted them to leave me alone, I should stop talking so much.

@HRH Your Cuntness aka likepenguins: RDJ is a Republican?!?!

@AlexKap: I think this season took a major nose dive after the brilliance of the first, but Marshall and Kate have me hooked. They're both so multi-faceted and real, especially compared to some of the histrionics of the other characters on the show (I'm talking about the writing / character arcs here...I think all of…

Mini Mizrahi is totally rocking those maternity jeans. I think I have the same pair from Target.

Krista at Effing Dykes hits my Flo love right on the head:

Sarah Palin Feminism:
