DUDE- the gender confusion thing is so surreal. Like- when you thought that person singing was a girl the whole time, but it was a dude, or vice versa. Or when I thought Carson McCullers was a dude, and she was a (badass) chick. Having a picture of someone in your head and it being completely different is just...…

OMG UGH THIS

Yup! Seriously though, I found that when you use the word "respect" people tend to back off. "Please respect my time." "Please respect my privacy." "Please respect blah blah blah." It's like people never thought about it like that before... even though... DUH!

I'm tellin' ya! Especially since I am like THE MOST COURTEOUS SMOKER IN THE WORLD! Like... I never stand by someone not smoking, I always make sure I am not downwind from them, I don't smoke inside so it's not like coming to my apartment is hard, and I always brush my fucking teeth before kissing someone. Just...…

Yeah- I am getting worn out with it. Gotta face my confrontation fears...

Thanks for your response. I am pretty sure there will be a blow-up. But at this point I am not sure I care. I guess I mostly just don't know where to go from here, or feel conflicted about it, because somewhere in my irrational mind I think I am in the wrong (all the time!) Lolz.

HAHAHA! I once used tampon to clean up my car while driving home when my friend vomited red wine all over it. The funniest part was the red part...

ALL OF THE TIME! You are right- going into the atheist thing makes it worse. I generally just try to smile and nod and move on. But if it continues I ask them to please respect my time, without getting into religion. If it goes further I generally say I do not want to have this conversation, I have my personal beliefs…

My sister had these exact same symptoms, and it ended up being a gluten allergy. She cut out all gluten and has felt much better. I am sure it is hard as hell, and also seems like one of those food fads right now. But who knows?

A question about friends:

Yes- I can attest to this. Been there, and unfortunately done that. This sort of news always hits me hard. And the rush of emails/texts/calls I get with OMG DID YOU HEAR..... drives me every crazier.

THIS!

Pete Wentz, I feel you. It took me a long time to figure out those pimples I get on my left cheek, and left cheek only, are from the phone... GROSS.

Hah! io9 has a great interview with the director. Apparently they first approached him asking to write a script for a shark movie in the middle of a storm and he said nahhhh. Then they asked him to do a shark movie that is the storm... and he said HELLZ YES. So funny.

don't know about shit hammered... but i am sure you can figure out shit faced... puking... toilets... etc.

"It's not like I go to my agent and say, 'You have to make me inSchindler's List 2.'

But I don't have a thigh gap... I don't think this would work for me.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT JARTS IS, BUT IT IF INVOLVES POTUS AND FLOTUS I'M THERE!

OMG- ITS TROO, GAY MARRIAGE LEADS TO POLYGOMY!

Sure, the song is horrible. But this makes me smile. They're such a cute family.
