Thank you. They got there late but did it to death...as horrifyingly as the Belgians.

Yeah. It won't.

I was going to ask if anyone anywhere in the popular entertainment industry has an original idea, but well...

A cross-cultural, cross-species phenomenon.

Oooh the bloomers. That's perfect. I can't sew maybe I'll try to buy some.

But still this is a little bit gross to me. Gauche, if you will. Unless the price is obviously unreasonably high, but even then, someone in her position, well, I'd think you'd just decline and go elsewhere. Who knows though? I am only a princess in my own mind.

This is such a good point. I worked at a "prestigious" private school in the Pacific Northwest and taught at some of the most soul-crushingly deficient public schools in Chicago. By and large the kids in the rough Chicago schools were much smarter but the kids at the other school were entitled in ways both good and…

Been wondering this myself. I feel like sometimes folks need a little shaming. It seems like a knee-jerk defense that allows people to be gross (generally speaking) without being called upon to take responsibility or acknowledge said 'gross-ness'. I think it's only a problem if people are made to feel that they can't…

"What would be shocking: If Miley (or Rihanna! or Ke$ha!) enrolled in a university and learned how to make a point using the Socratic method. Jaws would drop."

This inspired me to watch a bunch of Schoolhouse Rock on Youtube, which took me back to my 1970s/80s childhood. Back when things made sense, for fuck's sake who would ever think we'd get to a place where we'd say that and be right. Shit. At least I feel better after my evening singalong though.

Oh my sorry for the horrifying typos! You got the gist though. Well, I made it clear he was "friendzoned" from the start but I think he's one of those who believes it's only a matter of time, even though he denies it. He is getting to the stage where he is very frustrated with me because I have not yet succumbed to…

This is like the guy with whom I thought I had/wanted a burgeoning platonic friendship who this weekend told me that when men and women greet each other they are supposed to hug, because that's just the way it's always done. When I asked if he always asks his male friends for hugs when he sees them, well, you know.…

Yep. Beg to differ. But I do hope he'll be all right.

I watched the shortest snippet of the BBC interview with Kanye West and in the part I saw in combination with this outburst, it's beyond taking himself seriously or being an egomaniac. I am calling mental illness. His body language and of course the outburst itself, I'd say something might be rearing its head. I am…

It not "shades" it's shade singular no matter how many insults fly. Just an fyi.

Right?! I'm working with that time frame too just about. Unless I get a job after my program that's really good. I don't know where I'll go and this is crazy but I'm trying not to get to entagled (i.e., dating, relationship, friendships) so that I'm not tied to this place. At the same time I think 'where will I go?'

It is truly gospel. I am not yet married and don't know if I will be, but it's really surprising how many men don't get this even when you're dating.

Exactly! Excuse me while I copy and paste and make a pattern! Seriously if I do, some way, somehow, I'll let you know.

Girl, bye.

Yes, girl, yes. This needs to be embroidered on a sampler or a pillow.
