Yep. same here.

"you can't just coast through life on your giant dick."

I use 8tracks.com a lot to find new music — it's just playlists that other people make, usually themed. And you can filter by mood and genre.

This guy. Polar bears >> pandas.

Agreed. I love animals and love my friend's pets, but hearing stories about them is usually really, really boring.

I can certainly understand this, but good luck trying to convince 14-year-old me not to date. I had a "serious" boyfriend in 8th grade, most of my friends dated, and I think we (most of us) turned out just fine.

If it makes you feel any better about not going out, I went into work this evening, and my office is directly above an Irish pub. My view is of the parking lot, so I was watching everyone go in and out. In the end I was thankful that I was keeping it low-key. But - 2 hours reading Steubenville tweets is way too long…

Read a book for fun!

I also grew up in small town Michigan farm country and went to Michigan, and I remember learning about Emmett Till in both high school and college.

I'm similar in that I read a lot and would strongly prefer that the people I date are readers as well. But, it's not something that everybody really gets into, or is able to prioritize. Or maybe he associates reading with school/work. It sounds like you like him and I think this is one of those things that you can…

Me too!

Hail!

My fave motivation video that got me through my master's research. Sent it to another friend who is also about to take the bar. Good luck!! Since you want to do something that doesn't require being licensed, in the grand scheme of things, regardless of the outcome, you'll still be able to pursue something that will…

What I would have done differently in college: taken advantage of all the resources and student groups my school offered. I was a bit too focused on grades and missed out on a lot of the benefits of getting really involved in a particular group or cause. Making friends, being part of a community, personal growth...but…

I agree about the flood of bio majors post-graduation. I majored in Biology with no intention of ever going to med school. I had a hard time finding a job (especially with no leadership experience or job hunting skills). I did a few internships for a year and went into a professional master's program in environmental…

Hahah. Love.

Yep.

"impromptu opera ballads at the dinner table".... oh hell no.

Yes. I also recently discovered (via another Jez or Gawker commenter) the "Acquaintances" list feature. Have been adding people to it like crazy. When you post things, you can select "Friends except acquaintances" as the audience.

Where do you get running podcasts? I'm always looking for high BPM stuff for workouts.
