Wait, someone quickly compare US gun laws to the gun laws in one of the Scandinavian countries and make an amateur analysis of how armed citizens mean lower crime rates! Scandinavian countries are awesome! Except for taxes, boo taxes, yay guns!

THANK YOU. I've tried to explain this to people I know who are super pro-gun and try to say that if everyone carried guns everywhere then shootings wouldn't happen, of course they all think that they're amazing shots and would react perfectly and take out the shooter(s). Also, the whole paranoia of feeling it…

Yeah, I can only remember going to the ER once as a kid and it was because we were horsing around and I got a nasty cut on my head that required a staple. Aside from that? Mom always knew how to fix up scrapes and bruises.

You can't sit with us.

Holla holla Onondaga tribe right here! But seriously, as a mixed race lady who looks 100% white, even I routinely have strangers ask me "what" I am, because I guess I don't look WASPy enough for them?

Yeah, that's par for the course in all the salons in Rittenhouse, I usually just wait it out until I book another hair show and let the masters do whatever they want to me.

Sounds pretty normal to me, but my perspective is warped from working as a hair model. Usually I am only working with stylists at the top of the food chain, and they pay me to do my hair. But $95 sounds about right for NYC.

I was thinking the same thing. I think also people cannot give themselves entirely to all causes, with limited time and resources and emotional energy in a very complex world. Luckily, there are people who make careers out of parsing out the ethics of various scenarios so those of us who don't go into ethics can have…

Nothing has annoyed me more about being a natural redhead than 1. all my friends, from middle school onwards, saying they want to dye their hair red and 2. people in the fashion world who just assume my natural color MUST be fake because it's a lovely shade of red.

Hah! I love quantitative research, my favorite professor loves to tease me about it and how I should just give up and be a sociologist (he is an ethnographer of DIY style and street style and I am in the process of becoming a medical anthropologist). Methods courses are just horrible in general, though, I don't need…

Ah okay, that makes a lot more sense now!

I think he will forgive you in exchange for the treats, maybe spread some peanut butter on them to really erase your guilt. This is a weird question, but how does a dog nail become ingrown? That's never happened with my chihuahua and her nails are so long they might as well be talons.

Ah! It was so dark and cold in Philly today, I was disappointed that I had to go work a promotion in a freezing cold mall instead of getting to spend the day in my PJs wrapped in microfiber. Lucky you, I hope the weather sucks tomorrow too so I can have a good excuse to stay in bed.

lea meant Washington state, not Washington DC. I'll hazard a guess that lea lives in Canada, because I have been in Northern Quebec in the winter and my winter coat for Philadelphia was useless there.

Umm. Yes, this is me. I informed one of my professors that I wouldn't be around Tuesday evening or Wednesday afternoon for his recitation and lecture because of the holiday and he was like "is that a university approved excuse?" Yes, it is. I'm trying very hard to balance a full quarter with modeling full time as well…

The thought abhors me.

Yeah, but what if he chose lilac instead of teatree? I would not be pleased.

My thoughts as well, can someone text me her number real quick?

I seriously think it's strange that many of the gun owners I know, while responsible people who only shoot at ranges as far as I'm aware, also are adamantly about lots of people carrying their guns EVERYWHERE with them. What is with the paranoia about your local suburban movie theater or mega grocery store suddenly…

Oh man yes, I have a hair event in NY on the 14th, I am SO forcing everyone with me to go to this!
