I feel your pain! I worked in a high school for a few years and was in charge of one of the after school clubs. We were never allowed to leave until we made sure that every last child had been picked up, and it was always the same ones who you had to wait with.

You put what I was thinking into such better terms! I also work in a jeans/t-shirt environment. I'm actually not allowed to wear a dress to work. Not because of sexism, but because I climb on ladders. Even though I'm not in a suit wearing profession, that does not mean that I don't have to adhere to certain…

Aww shucks! Thanks!

I'm so jealous!! I have FOUR. And i'm 32! Why are they still al getting married?! They should all be married by now!! (except for me . . . )

I love this. Congrats. I would totally say yes during a Sherlock episode.

My bookshelf has Sartre, but I also went through an Agatha Christie phase for awhile. And the Oz series. And some really, really, bad mystery books. My shelves make no sense other than defining me as a diverse reader. I'll read a book that's 1000 pages, but I'll also have a nostalgic YA book on standby for those…

Are there such thing as an un-regrettable Taz tattoo?

Personally I think it's less about professionalism and more about rules. I actually work in an environment where my dress code is close toed shoes, jeans, no loose fitting clothing, and hair pulled back. It's all for safety. I'm totally ok with dress codes at school if they are teaching children about having to wear…

I grew up in Chicago at a time when you had to be 21 to get a tattoo (they've since changed to 18), so I'm clutching my pearls right there with you.

Totally! I also was 15 and stupid. And a tourist at a young age. All those things combined make for a pretty honest accidental creep moment.

(I don't actually do it all that often.)

Oh shit. I take pictures of people's clothes on the train or street all the time! It's been a downward spiral ever since that trip to Spain!

Confession time. When I was 15 I was on a school trip to Spain and went to the beach with a bunch of friends. I saw a topless lady sitting nearby and totally took a sneaky creeper picture of her from afar. My little brother was so fascinated that European women didn't wear tops on the beach, so I wanted to prove…

I'm about a decade older, so I wasn't that tech savy at 12. But I did know it was wrong to stab people, even if I didn't know how to use the internet!

Yeah, I noticed the syntax was a little weird in the quote. However, I am perfectly ok with seeing the world and going on holidays! I can put my dog in a kennel for a week. It would probably be frowned upon if I did so with a child. Hence the no child life is for me!

I'm 5'4" on a good day and my bf is a whole foot taller than me, but I eat just as much, if not more than him. But thankfully he's super into fitness and being healthy (it actually grew out of his need to treat his depression), so he's slowly turning me into a fitness nut. I'm eating a shit ton of veggies as opposed…

There were a few years where I thought I wanted them, and I think that was because I assumed that was what I was supposed to be feeling at that time in my life. I made a lot of mistakes like that in my twenties. "Oh, all my friends are getting married! Maybe I should be marrying this jackass weirdo I happen to be…

I JUST got a flat screen this year! And it was a hand me down from my little brother. I still have two old ass tube TVs sitting on my porch because they are too damn heavy to carry out to the trash. I just kind of pushed them out of the house and there they will stay as a memorial to a bygone era.

Ugh! Drives me crazy! I feel worse for my boyfriend though. My friends are convinced that I'm just "giving in" because he doesn't want kids either. My one friend actually told me that I needed to break up with him because it was a deal breaker. And I was like, "um, actually it's not."

I'm glad there are people like you and Megan out there. Every single one of my friends who have kids insist that I will want them someday. I'm 32. I don't think that someday is coming. I've made a decision and I'm happy with it, but I can't openly talk about it to my closet friends because they don't believe me. …
