Are you me? Although, I will say that after a few near fender benders, I have forced myself to stop reading while driving.

So the Lifetime movie about Trayvon Martin should focus on him being a weed smoking thug? Because that got a lot of play in the media, too.

That sounds more like gluttony to me.

On another tangent, I really don't get why Arcade Fire got so popular in the mainstream to the point that everyone and anyone proclaims to "love them." I mean I think they are amazing, but nobody usually likes the stuff I like. I should also add that I bought Funeral in the fall of 2004 and have loved them ever since,…

Do it! I feel that most of my regrets in life are things that I wanted to do but felt scary. Also, Bonnaroo is only about 2 and 1/2 hours from me, so it really isn't that far for me to venture. If it were farther, I would have more inhibitions.

Yeah, I really never thought about going alone to a concert since it has always been a group activity in my mind. Plus, the camping alone part amidst strangers has always made me worried. However, whenever I go to big festivals it inevitably ends up that my friends don't know or like the bands I want to see and I end…

I just have to say that the biggest rats I have ever seen were some puppy sized ones outside of the White House when I was a preteen. That nighttime walk of DC scarred me for life!

I haven't dealt with it long term (only months at a time) but frequently I have had to take incoming phone calls for pro bono legal services and the local prosecutor's office where people straight up cussed me out frequently. The prosecutor's office was the worst because all kinds of people would call about not being…

Thanks for this. I think that I just needed affirmation for my choice, since I know that even broaching the notion of going alone is going to make my friends and family question my sanity.

Has anyone ever done Bonnaroo solo as a woman? It has been my dream to attend since high school. A family friend literally promised me that he would pay for me and a group of friends to attend if I made valedictorian in high school. However, when it came to deliver, he claimed that he contacted the Manchester police…

Shit, now as a lifelong member of the special people's club I need to go watch Welcome to the Dollhouse again.

I admit that I watched A Single Man partially because "OMG! Tony was shirtless in it." Clearly, Tom Ford shared the same thoughts.

Some people just can't relate to others or know how to appropriately respond. I'm sorry that happened to you and that you weren't supported in the retelling.

That is exactly the dog I want if I wasn't a struggling, currently unemployed lawyer with loans.

The choice between "first" and "firstly" in a succession of paragraphs is mainly a stylistic choice based on a love of past convention. However, I had a rather reproving grammar teacher who preferred the tradition of using "first, secondly, thirdly, etc." in paragraphical lists, which greatly influenced me. The OED…

I just wanted to give my approval of your appropriate use of the adverbial phrase in an opening clause. So many people use "First," "Second," Third," etc. to open paragraphs, which makes my little English grammar Nazi heart hurt.

Please let Jasper Johns estate sue him into infinity.

Still relevant child star?

Holy shit! Now I will never ever have any surgery.

I've always thought that the best murder plan for anyone would be to start a locavore diet/urban foraging lifestyle and create a pattern of eating random weeds, berries, and mushrooms. Then when they need to off whomever, they can "accidentally" harvest the wrong type of plant and cook it up. Necessarily, the murderer…
