I got the Urban Decay lip liner and gloss samples in my Ipsy bag too. How, uh, do I use the lip gloss samples? Do I just smear it on with my finger? And what do I do with the extra? (I assume there’s no good way to carry it around for touch ups).

I got it and broke mine too—Smead is right that you can sharpen it. Mine is now a respectable pencil again (until my big mouth smashes it).

The only thing I’ve enjoyed about the bouquet toss is the Parting of the Spinsters as nobody really wanted to catch it.

I should've made it clearer in my original post (trying to avoid too many details since my boyfriend tries to limit his internet exposure as much as possible—sorry, honey!).

We're actually opposites—I can't stand sucking cock and was incredibly relieved when my boyfriend said he didn't really enjoy it. Most of my offers are an attempt at reciprocity.

Gaze upon me in wonderment, internet users, for I am in such a strange and bizarre relationship! I even get turned down when I offer to blow my bf.

I know, and it puts me in a tough spot because I can't voice how it makes me feel without him making me feel as though my feelings are unjustified.

Adding to the chorus of postpone. If this happened before you got engaged/started planning the wedding, would you have moved with or without him?

Based on some of my shittier family holidays, I suspect that people who have the "it'll work itself out" mentality tend to have at least one woman thanklessly and invisibly working it out.

These kids today. Whatever happened to "I need it to do homework"?

I do love it when the other sailor guardians point out that Neo-Queen Serenity is still a terrible writer.

1. Does she know that her mother used to be Sailor Moon? Part of it is also probably the difference between Queen Serenity, absolute monarch of two planets, and Usagi.

what sounds like it might be fun to do for the next forty years? Pick that.

As a Junior Girl Scout, I insisted on going to try to sell cookies by myself. One time I went around my parents' office park—alone, since my parents were working and I didn't want to look like some huge loser.

Yes, I'm sure my students who struggled to write their final research papers will agree that English classes don't take very much time at all.

Hey, Miss Doesn't-Find-Me-Sexually-Attractive-Anymore! I just tripled my productivity!

The contract thing just shows that Ariel's ready for the human world where we just click "Agree" because we want to use the software we're installing and don't want to read boring stuff.

I recently told my students the original version and they were all horrified. (I teach college, so they'll probably be okay.)

I was going to be concerned about this destroying my favorite potential manga pairing, but then I just decided that Asanuma can be there to comfort Jupiter after Nephrite's inevitable tragic death.

My plan is to wait for everybody else in my MA program to panic and go back to school for their PhDs. Then I'll swoop in and get all the shitty one year FT contracts! And explain to my mother that I'm still completely fucked.
