Gah! It's my day off and I just want to spend a lazy morning playing some WoW. So I try to log in and get a notice that my account has been permanently closed. This is the most extreme form of punishment. I've never so much as received a warning before. When I received the email a few days ago, I did everything it…

It wouldn't be so bad if they at least took the advice, instead of arguing about how they were right all along, amirite?

Dude, you asked for opinions. Opinions are being given to you. Accept them. You don't have to convince us, you have to convince her. So listen to what other women are telling you about how your words were received and learn from it.

I really liked it. Like, a lot.

Plus, the whole confusion with the actual University of Ottawa. Is it that hard to write Carleton University in Ottawa? Also, props from another Carleton alum.

I'm teaching an oral English class at the local university (in China) again tomorrow. The topic is the difference between men and women. Really not crazy about the texts in the book, so I'm going to play the first 20 minutes of She's the Man for my students and then have them try to impersonate the opposite gender.…

If you have Netflix, the Avengers cartoon is pretty good.

Oh, yeah. They definitely are not nice people. I just think their society is more complicated than savages.

They're one of the only groups where rule is bestowed through some kind of merit (physical strength), rather than an accident of birth. I think they're fascinating.

My handwriting is pretty bad, but I pretty much had to teach myself the English alphabet when I started school in Canada after immigrating, so meh. Teachers hated me for writing all my tests like this though.

I think cursive just has more character than print. My cursive is not very legible, but it's so much easier for me to write like that than it is to print and I'm never giving it up. Sorry not sorry.

I take it you've never seen a staging of Romeo and Juliet in your life. Spoiler alert: no one casts 14-year-olds.

He's not middle-aged in the book. Just saying...

Lol, I actually like both Arya and Sansa (post-book 3). But yeah, the only reason I favour Arya is because in a man/emotionally immature woman who is self-hating.

Apparently, the Chinese government shuts down the heating on a set date, regardless of what the weather is like. It went off last Monday or Tuesday. It's so cold in the apartment right now, that the Nutella we have in the pantry is hardened like if we'd kept it in the fridge. Fun times.

Well, I'm glad this was about Garfield, because the first thing I thought of when I saw the top image was that it would be about someone's really hairy ass-crack.

That's clever. Did you come up with that on your own?

I'm sorry he/they were such douches to you. :( It sucks that you got caught us in their stupid little on-again/off-again game. But you definitely deserve someone who will be hung up on you, not his ex. At least you didn't waste too much time on this guy.

Not really. Just old and stuck-up.

I'm in China right now teaching grade school kids at a training school and it's wonderful. Of course, your experience will depend partly on the school where you end up and the people running it, as well as your own ability to adapt, but I'm loving the hell out of my experience. I didn't even think I liked kids that…
