We actually had a decent number of out students when I was in high school. They got shit from some assholes, but there were enough people who were supportive that people felt more comfortable coming out at my school than the other ones in the area or that some of them had transfered from. Change between 2006 and 1998…

I like makeup and dresses and find doing makeup to be a soothing way to, for lack of a better phrase, get my game face on before facing the world. I absolutely have had people treat me like an idiot because I dress up and don’t fit the image of “smart girl”. The first time I interacted with some of the other people…

Yeah, same with my school in 2006. I don’t remember any of the girls wearing a tux, but everyone who was out brought their partners or a date and a lot of straight people brought friends of the same sex from other schools as their date. Because that’s more fun that trying to get a real date. I kinda can’t help but…

I pretend that the movie didn’t happen and keep hoping for a remake. Someone get on it for me. I have Cinderella money that needs spending (because I didn’t go see Cinderella like I planned).

And it’s not like opening day at Wrigley is ever popular or anything...

If you could find a way to work that quote into my life more, I’d seriously appreciate it.

Right? The headline made me wonder if the writer had ever seen the movie. It literally opens with the nativity and ends with the crucifixion.

Really funny thing from a good friend’s PhD research-

My sister in law started a “I’m the most Catholic person ever” phase in college and her then boyfriend (now he’s a monk... seriously) said something about “you can’t do yoga, it’s worship for another religion” so my sister went to her priest all concerned. His response was something along the lines of “are you…

It’s a really pretty state. Like, you don’t think about it, but it is. The Badlands are amazing, the areas surrounding Mount Rushmore is beautiful, and if you go in the summer, there are fields of sunflowers.

They also tend to skew how the awards are filmed. One of my neighbors competed in a competition with this group last year and they don't show that they win awards based on category. So like, at this competition, the Dance Moms girls game in 1st overall in their age group and their size of dance (so like, solos aren't…

How did I not know that Elizabeth and James was Mary Kate and Ashley’s line (ok, that’s an easy answer, I don’t pay that much attention), but I actually really like the brand.

I think that's the part that makes her so impressive. I'm sure a lot of actors can play multiple characters convincingly in one show. I mean, you have to be good, BUT there are actors who can do that, and not a few of them. It's the mental preparation and character awareness that allows her to balance playing a…

Truth. Between the two of us, my husband and I have been stopped three times in almost 10 years. Once because he was speeding, once because I forgot to turn my headlights on, and once because I was driving my dad’s car and he had forgotten to change the registration stickers. We are not that great of drivers, I’d say…

Uggh, that sucks so much.

Yeah, it can be really bad and some people can have symptoms for years afterwards. I have a friend who had mild lyme disease and it took him months to feel up to speed. Like, he wasn’t bed ridden, but still pretty miserable.

Totally not true- the blogger who shared that story is a satire site. A convincing one mind, but a fake none the less.

True facts. I am at the phase where a bunch of friends are starting to have kids and half of them are cute and half of them are totally ugly. One of them was like, creepy doll scary ugly. She grew up into a cool kid, but uggh her baby pictures.

I've been to a few weddings that did that and it was fucking amazing.

I pretty much feel the same way. I appreciated The Casual Vacancy for what it is, but it is not my usual genre. I dislike that level of depressing, but honestly think Rowling did a great job with it. I can totally see it as a mini series.
