She sounds lush. I will try and channel her tomorrow.

Haha! I told my mum about my tongue bar right before telling her that I had taken up smoking and was not actually a virgin and hadn’t been for some time, and that I was living in a skanky hostel because she threw me out. She’d have been THRILLED about just the tongue bar.

I could probably deal with all the shit my mum said a lot easier if only she’d stop insisting to this day that she never said it.

Also right before a date once my mum told me that if we went to dinner I should sit facing a mirror so I wouldn’t want to eat as much.

When I was about 11 at breakfast one morning my Dad noticed this really fine, inch-long blonde hair sprouting from right in the middle of my cheek. He wouldn’t stop teasing me about it and tugging it, and made me really self conscious. I didn’t rememeber anything else about it after that until years later when my mum…

We call it jellyfishing, a la Bridget Jones.

My mum used to do this, but I wish she’d just told me that I looked great.

‘the notion that PDA from straight people is contributing to oppression or is even an inappropriate invocation of their superiority is bizarre’

But it’s not biological or inherent, it’s a learned behaviour. They can ‘feel’ whatever they want but it’s not something they have no control over.

It’s taken me until age 26 to realise this. If you want a Snickers, don’t eat a chocolate flavoured fro yo and twelve low-fat chocolate rice cakes and a sugar-free hot chocolate with skim milk and a teeny tiny chocolate mousse and a fun-sized Kitkat followed by an ecstatic but guilt-ridden three or four jumbo Snickers…

It’s not flying, it’s falling, with style.

And all for a fusilli photos.

Way easier to clean! Especially after draining something like frozen spinach.

Race and ability are not choices, though. Religion is.

This actually sounds hilarious and I want to go.

Pinkham’s Law actually really rubs me the wrong way. It’s just a way to ridicule absolutely anyone who says ‘wait a sec, maybe there are two sides to this story?’ and shout them down for being unreasonable for questioning the author’s narrative.

It was when the Pope (or king or st) released the order to execute all Templars in Europe because they had too much power, so they went from being super prosperous and high up to being hunted down overnight.

Oh my god. I didn’t even make that connection.

Such excellent names!

This was the reason I was so upset when Helena and Tim broke up. They had my ideal relationship (living in houses next door to eachother but connected via a hallway) and if they can’t make it then who can? :-(
