Holy shit that is exactly what I did last night until 3 a.m.! I felt like garbage today, but it was SO GOOD I could not stop.

This. A thousand times this. It’s not about whether you get help or not — it’s about whether people are willing to acknowledge it. My parents have bailed me out in a thousand ways in my 15 years of “independence.”

First, this man didn’t really need any force used to take him down. A calm conversation probably would have done it.

Just started dating a guy who is a feminist and has a cat. Best. Thing. Ever. Should have done it years ago!

Jezebel staff has to follow you for you to get ungreyed, or the commentariat must rise to your defense. Or you make friends with regular commenters who help pull you out.

Me too! On NaNoWriMo, although I’m only 2,000 words in and am already paralyzed by “OMG I SUCK!” thoughts.

You mean the old, “Don’t be needy and be clear about wanting to hang out with me at a specific time because I may have stuff going on and don’t want to bother with you at that exact moment, but also don’t be so busy with your own life that you are not available for the exact day/night/weekend I want to hang out?”

I love you even if you leave me grey for the rest of my Jezebel career. ;-)

randilyn is a hero of the greyed.

I just started seeing someone new (for the first time in AGES — I can’t believe it’s actually kind of fun), and the most attractive quality about him is how smart he is. He makes me laugh, but mostly because he is smart and makes smart jokes.

I dated a dude in college who did this. From freshman year of high school on, if they were together for more than three weeks, it was a girlfriend. I was number 33. And sadly, was upset when he dumped me for a “friend” he had already started dating. Sigh. Stupid 21-year-old Hntrss13.

I feel this is an insult to Jamiroquai.

My problem with the “love of a good woman” thing is so many women (myself included) get caught up in trying to BE that woman, when there’s not telling whether you’ll be the person they decide to change for or not.

Dude. The greys suck! I can’t believe they keep bumping you back. You’re an institution.

Great interview. Had been debating what to spend my birthday Amazon gift card on; just ordered Safina’s book.

I think Ruffalo is a 9/11 truther. So far, Scarlett is in the clear.

I laughed very hard at all of this, and am now wavering on my decision to cancel my training session this afternoon because I’m tired and cranky and sleep-deprived.

I have the same problem. Katy Perry drives me nuts but that had to be incredibly violating and awkward. And worse, it was in front of a crowd. I’d have slapped someone.

This gif party got me through a very trying afternoon. You and andsmokeit do the Lord’s work.
