You know what? I live in Nebraska. I grew up in a very conservative, very small town. I attended a private Lutheran school from kindergarten through 8th grade. We learned about contraception, and we learned about evolution, and non of us became pagan heathens because of it.

Lutheran. She doesn't seem to have a problem with sex for the sake of sex, as long as they're married first of course.

My mom is not as enraging as some Christians in regards to homosexuality. She believes that they should be treated equally, both by the law and by society because it's the fucking right thing to do. But she still believes it's a sin. I have asked her to explain to me why it's a sin. Murder, lying, stealing...there…

Dammit, I'm trying to cut back on my sugar intake, and now I'm craving schweddy balls.

No. At least I didn't when I had surgery last Dec. But my mom used to (she doesn't have a thyroid at all anymore so I guess technically she doesn't have Hoshimoto's at this point...). And she also had thyroid cancer. Which is why they took out half my thyroid even though they turned out to be benign tumors.

You know, I managed to lose 50 pounds without anyone's help. I just finally stopped eating shit I knew was bad for me and exercising. Who knew that shit worked?

That's true. He's OK.

I have never understood this ban...isn't all donated blood tested for diseases anyway? Why should it matter if you're gay?

Sometimes it feels like the rest of the country only knows about us because of shit like this and football.

Ain't that always the way? That drainage creek by my house growing up always seemed so nice, but the minute I gave in it suddenly decided it wasn't ready for a relationship after all but couldn't we still be friends?

My mom told me last week that she and my dad got married mostly because they couldn't wait to have sex any longer. 1. I accept the fact that my parents had sex and presumably (if the instruction book that showed up in my mom's sock drawer last year is any indication) still have sex. That does not mean I need a mental…

"I'm not ready to give up on monogamy and a cultural statement that marriage still matters."

Fun story - my mom was adopted. Found her 8 birth siblings several years ago. Birth mom passed away when she was in college (she already knew that). Mom wondered if anyone knew anything about her dad. Nobody can confirm the story, but the family rumor is that Birth Grandma got pulled over for speeding and slept…

My current job has me transcribing comments from medical survey's. I don't want to go into specifics because we just had HIPPA training and it made me paranoid about sharing, but in general the number of instances of hospitals/clinics using instruments/materials that have been contaminated in some way, is really…

Here's the incident report on Matthew Fox, if anyone's interested.

I want to know when he got a rep for being such a nice guy, as I've seen several comments stating. Every interview I've ever read made him come off like an aging frat boy who didn't want to grow up. I mean, I admit I haven't read a lot of his press, but still. It's not like this is the first time he's shown his…

I read an interview of Matthew Fox's back when Lost was still on, and he talked about showing up for work hungover and puking in the water (like it was a good thing) and how he likes to get people drunk and get them to do things they wouldn't normally do.

I'd like to pretend by refusal to dress up (wear makeup, heels, skirts that make me chafe, etc) in any situation but the most formal, is some firm stance against caving to societal pressure and just wanting to be myself, but really, it's mostly laziness. Makeup takes forever and never stays put, getting my hair to do…

I've been thinking about getting my first pedicure for awhile now, but I've been afraid of how gross they might find my feet. I have really bad callouses because I would literally run around barefoot my entire life if I could. My right heel is so bad I barely have feeling in it anymore. And I have a weird toenail…

My winter vagina loves George R.R. Martin and considers Ned Stark her personal spokesman. She thinks this entitles her to a meeting with Sean Bean. I've tried to reason with her, but you know how winter vaginas can be.
