I've only ever actually met one person who said it was offensive in real life, and she also disapproved of "bloody hell" — apart from that, I just see tons of people saying they're outraged on Jezebel but never in person.

You didn't think you could before?

Oh, God yes — so expensive. But, I got a groupon voucher and it was really cheap for an entire course of treatments and worked really well. (I previously much preferred waxing to shaving, except that it was a) really expensive and b) you had to "save up" the hair in between. Lasers with a massive groupon discount…

I definitely, definitely can't shave it. I have a friend who swears by it, but I just look at the razor and instantly go red in the relevant area. When I was really young I tried a lot, because our regulation leotards for PE were insanely high cut (which is so, so cruel) and it seemed like all the obviously red,…

I love Groupon lasers. For some reason the super sketchy salons appeal to me, and the lasering seems to work well. (I love that lasers work best for those who need it most, ie the pale-skin-dark-thick-hair girls, ie me.)

ALL THE DIRECTIONS AT ONCE! I basically can't shave 'em properly. I can shave it down to short stubble, but it's never all gone. Plus, by that time I've made myself red raw with the razor. (Lasers = happiness.)

Yes yes yes. I love love love the feeling of smooth skin. (I'm getting lasers so I can stop waxing, because I hate having to actively cultivate hair pre-wax.)

I've had tons of waxing done, Brazilian and Hollywood and all, and I've never taken anything beforehand and it's been fine. I actually find it really relaxing to just lie down for a while.

Oh, good job on leaving. My ex left me to go back to *his* ex (I wasn't on any drugs which made him feel guilty; she had an even bigger meth habit than him) and I just begged him to come back and spend time with me even though he was mostly with her. I'd been trying to "help" him for years and he always said that he…

This is the third comment I've seen from you on it so they are being posted (but it's still in my word top ten; sorry).

Brilliant!

It improved my day no end!

Yeah, and the "where she also bought her blouse" bit made me spit coke. Brilliant. And so catchy!

That is way too catchy.

I can definitely believe that. I recently had someone make me so rageful that I very temporarily felt spectacularly violent, and it was disturbing how instantly creative I was about it — I was drinking a milkshake at the time and started screaming about wanting to stab her through the eye with my straw. In an entirely…

Yes, yes, yes. I had a boyfriend who was on meth for three years (I mean, I had the boyfriend for three years; he was on meth for longer) and it was not a good situation for anyone. It scared me.

I think I'm really lucky that when I needed serious painkillers I threw up so much that I couldn't take them. I was previously in the habit of taking codeine for even the smallest headache and it was a bit scary, so I'm glad the stronger pills were too much for my stomach.

Exactly. She sounds brilliant.

I spend four hours most days commuting, so I am big on books! I will read. Exciting.

I haven't read any of the books or seen the film, but I think I might start reading tomorrow. This sounds fascinating.
