I'm not going to have a teenage child anytime soon (not pregnant and not planning to be for a long time), but I've already prepared myself to have open conversations with my future kids. Yeah it's awkward, but it's necessary as a parent.

I am trying to keep up with my student loans and pay all my bills each month. My boyfriend of over six year and I know we will not be able to get married for a good while because he is in school and we still have finances that take precedent over a wedding. I realize you should be free to spend your money as stupidly…

I've seen plenty of Mal fanart, but this might be the best representation of Nathan's very uniquely handsome face. Really, really well done.

I actually got to talk to Vonnegut on the phone a few years before he died and he was very kind. He even wrote me back a couple times when I had the guts to write him. He was supposed to come visit Indianapolis a month after he died for the city's "Year of Vonnegut." I doubt that would have convinced him, but we were…

All they had to do was write, "This geometry print is perfect to get you inspired for your 2nd period math class!" It still would have been silly, but at least it would be have been positive.

I went to a Catholic grade school. In 5th grade, we had a sex ed class that stressed abstinence, but also taught the biology of it AND about contraceptives. I really believe a mix of non-religious focused abstinence AND safe sex education is what is needed. And for the record, when I say abstinence, I mean not having…

Yeah, they're adorable... until they take down your AT-ST and start throwing rocks at your face!

I'm siding with Ms. Jacobson. Sure, the commercial might have offended some, but only if those people are also offended by war-based games during wartime in general (which I think CAN be a reasonable opinion, honestly). Raising hell about one situation on its own seems very immature. Kobe in the commercial was…

I like thinking of the critics who must have dismissed the game as a novelty, not knowing the industry that would grow from it.

Him providing the theme song made me giggle.

@kobeashi: It wasn't perfect, but I really enjoyed Brandon Routh's performance. Great casting, but not so great plot (not bad, just not great). Still probably better than whatever Burton was trying to make.

I actually got to write back and forth with Vonnegut a few times before he died and his notes were always very kind. I'm one of the only people who likes Timequake best, but Breakfast of Champions has a special place in my heart.

Is it just me, or do the simulated women look bored?

I actually liked The Princess and the Frog because the heroine wasn't actually a princess AND didn't actually want to BE a princess. She also ends up saving the prince in the end!

I was totally there. I had to sit in front of about a dozen idiotic douchebags who had no idea what the hell they were talking about (they cheered for the Yogi Bear trailer), but it was totally worth it.

That's like saying, "We'll make coffins for women by putting pink dildos on the sides! That will totally respect the dead!"

I guess I just don't understand why these magazines go to such sterile definitions of beauty. I know it's a cliche, but flaws are alluring.

Are there any other books/book series you'd like to adapt to film? Are there any books already adapted to film that you wish you could have done yourself?

I was in a poetry class my senior year of college (I was an English major, btw) and a girl in our very first class was peeved that our professor expected our work to be discussed among the class and then edited by the writer. She was from another major and even when we tried to explain to her that this was par for the…

@andromedeia: MMM one big Inception sandwich...
