He and I were born in the same hospital! And I freely admit it, apparently.

I emigrated to the US and people suddenly thought I sounded lovely, which was fun for a while!
I'm a… medium 31-year-old girl? Will it still work?
Ha! I used to live in the US and I was so sad when one day I realised no one commented on my accent anymore. I started trying to "put on" my own accent to stop it from getting Americanised, but it didn't work.
Yeah, I really like kids a lot! But there's a least one person each day who makes me want to leave the carriage/room/planet, kids and adults alike.
Yes! Amazing. I want to go to Jezebel HQ and see if they think my Essex accent's sweet, too.
YES. She's just like little girls I see every day, the ones who give me a headache (there are plenty of other little kids who are perfectly non-headache-inducing, but God, the screechy ones make me cringe).
My department recently had two vacancies, and more than 450 people applied. We ended up changing the job descriptions quite a bit to fit the two people we ended up hiring, and a few other applicants are now freelancing for us. A couple of others we've connected to other departments and other companies and people in…
I wish I'd done lasers far, far earlier. I want more as soon as I can afford another Groupon! (No budget for a home set-up, sadly.)
I have done the misted-up-glasses-in-the-shower thing and also the post-shower-sink thing, and both are stupid and tiresome and awkward and time consuming. Ugh. I sympathise. The solutions for me were a) contact lenses and b) hair removal.
Worried tennis-fan eyes? I was watching this match at home and getting super stressed out myself.
I will definitely do my legs one day when I see a good deal/have more money!
I HATED shaving (time, weird contortionism, blood, pain, stubble an hour later, etc) and liked waxing except for the cost and the having to regrow it at exactly the time when for some reason or other you didn't want to… and then I got a Groupon for lasers and it was brilliant. I wish I'd done it a lot earlier.
I should confess I've never even read her book — I've just been told by lots of different people that I will love her then when I've read pieces she's written (or even just Twitter posts) I get a really strong unpleasant reaction, and I can't put my finger on exactly what she's saying that's so off-putting to me. The…
God, I feel totally unimaginative now for never trying anything fun like that.
You are brilliant.
Is that why I find her annoying? I can never remember, I just know that I do.
My mum thinks I'm either a) a brave and pioneering young lady, or b) a bolshie and uppity madam with ideas above my station — it depends on the day — because I'm so very unlike her, and much as I love her I would really, really hate for that to change.
I swing between being extremely distressed by my face and totally fascinated. It's horrifying/brilliant how everything changes.
Oh yes! I actually really like all those places you mentioned a lot… I'd happily live in any of those cities. I was actually planning to move to Seattle or Portland originally but then I ended up getting a job in LA instead. (The maternity leave and health-care costs would probably still have to change for me to move…
