Right, no one thinks X-Men is real but people do believe that "10% of your brain" trope is real. It originated in early scientific attempts to understand the brain but was absorbed into science fiction, and then repeated so much in movies and books that it's become something a lot of people accept as fact. If no one…

There's another where he's looking at me like I just snatched his glasses off his face, it's glorious. He was so fun about the whole thing.

I've posted this in another Ira related story but it still rings as one of the greatest moments of my life so I'm sharing again. I met Ira once and he let me wear his glasses. I died right after this picture was taken.

I'm so sad to admit I did too. Right as soon as he started chastising me for not paying attention I realized I was texting someone about nothing important at all.

This is my HP tattoo, I love it! I thought about it for a long time before I got it (for my 25th birthday) and figured that if I get older and don't care about HP as much anymore, it's still a symbol of when the series meant a lot to me and how it impacted my childhood. Plus, little kids like it and think it's…

No thanks, Ricki. We all know how a lack of birth control worked out for Pepper!

This is why I never ever ever wanna get famous. The 2003 video of me performing "Undone (The Sweater Song)" at my high school talent show does not need to see the light of day.

Whatever it was, it was a very strong prescription. I couldn't see a thing!

I was a job coach for almost 3 years at two different goodwill regions! High five to you.

This makes me so sad because I work for Goodwill (each Goodwill region is run differently and mine does not pay anyone less than minimum wage) and we do so much good for the community. I run a camp for adults with disabilities, and it's seriously a week vacation for free for people who otherwise rarely if ever leave…

He was so nice and accommodating about the whole thing. I was like "Um, I know this is weird and you can totally say no but can I wear your glasses?" and he looked at me like I was from outer space for a second then said "why not?" And we got married and now we live in Vegas.

Once upon a time, I met Ira Glass and he let me wear his glasses. I was so excited I almost threw up. I love NPR so much.

I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money...but screw that, surely you can find some more worthy cause to give $10,000 to!

I've always been super fascinated by cults, too! Especially the one Rose McGowan and River and Joaquin Phoenix were born in to. Just...what are the odds that 3 successful actors all came from the same cult?

My first thought when I read this was Green Acres, followed shortly by Teen Mania MinistriesOh, Tyler.

Maybe a better way to word it would have been "shitty superfluous interview skills" because I think we all know Jon has it where it counts. Interviewing actresses, while adorable and fun, is not his meat and potatoes.

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR SELFIES

He spoke at my high school in East Texas, back in 2002 or 2003. It was a sneaky way of getting a religious lecture about not getting pregnant and spreading STDs before marriage.

They're also called tenors, or quints if there are 5 drums. They have harnesses like other drums that marchers can wear so they are mobile.

I did a kid's homework assignment for him once in high school (he was the best quad player on my drumline and I couldn't afford for him to fail the class and sidelined when we had a competition coming up) and he still failed because the teacher knew he didn't write it due to the lack of grammatical errors.
