It’s almost certainly not a gender thing—his son is 44, so probably a bit more prepared for fiscal responsibility.

Unfortunately I’m really bad at making coffee, so milk is de rigueur. -_-

Plain chocolate has a ton of sugar, too. Ice cream has both milk AND sugar. Looking forward to the post where you tell us to stop eating ice cream and chocolate.

Counterpoint: black coffee is gross.

When I was in my twenties, I briefly lost about 30 pounds. Owing to my height, features, and weight distribution, this brought me from “obese, matronly, and vaguely intimidating” down to “not exactly pretty, but definitely cute.” As there was only a very brief window of time when I was taking dance classes 5-6 hours…

What show is it??

I cry really, really easily. I cannot control it. I will cry during any interpersonal conflict, when I am tired and frustrated, and any time that I have to admit out loud that I’m homesick and miss my family (I live in South Korea, and even though I love it here, homesickness is basically part of my life).

My youngest aunt is a year and a half older than me. Don’t know if that’s why, but it was definitely a surprise for my grandparents!

Why white girls? These will probably look best, and work best, on the kind of thick, straight black hair that very few white girls have, but which is very common in other ethnicities. My ultrafine flyaway white-girl hair would trap this stuff in a nest of frizz before it got within an inch of my head.

“shark week” O____O Hahahaha

I don’t know if I can handle the movie. I’m sure I’ll see it eventually, but the book was really visceral and wrenching. O.O

Hi again. : )

People convince themselves that soy meat tastes “almost like the real thing” all the time, so I doubt this will have trouble catching on.

I was super boring in my 20s, too, and also a total dumbass. They’re not mutually exclusive. : ) Mostly I wish I’d had a better plan for university, studied/practiced more seriously, been less uptight socially and not taken everything in the world personally, and been open to realizing that the carefully-developed…
