Colorful coats are my kryptonite. I would do anything for a green coat like this (except, you know, pay the $150 to buy it):

Fleur de la Coeur's wedding dress from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

I have wanted Liesl's dress for as long as I can remember.

I have a vision of Pax frantically producing wee cakes in an Easy Bake Oven, while swearing and sweating.

There. Fixed it.

Eh, I think it depends on the situation. I had a friend get married on memorial day a few years back. It wasn't an excuse to get people to do more things. The wedding was just rehearsal dinner and wedding, no extra parties or brunches or anything else, and part of the reason they had to do this is because her husband…

Oh good, I really wanted to talk about my day.

I'm the assistant/evening manager at a convenience store/gas bar in a hellish rural town that doubles as a tourist trap in the summer due to our close(st) proximity to an idyllic lake and Provincial park. I hate my job. I hate this town. I hate the summer.

So yesterday,…

I was interning at an old (not that old) theater (a theater theater, not a movie theater) years ago. My job was basically receiving the portfolios of actors who would come in as we announced openings for upcoming plays.

I imagine there are a lot of good stories in mental health, as there are in my field, which is special education.

*cracks knuckles* I have a few.

Oh actually, here's a decent one. I had broken up with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, and the organization's Executive Director was in town because it was our new Deputy Director's first day on the job. I hadn't had much face time with the ED before and was obviously trying to impress this new guy. We were all going…

I saw this and was like 'oh man I should have some great ones!' but now that I think about it they all just amount to "I was 20 when I started working at a scrappy youth-run nonprofit and as a result I made out with EVERYONE".

Well, except suicide and depression among men get plenty of attention. Just Google it and you'll pull up thousands of articles about it. Male depression is not specifically covered on Jezebel because this is a site that deals with women's issues. Askmen.com doesn't deal with uterine cancer, does that mean that men…

You're crying because you're sad. Why can people never just say they're crying because they're sad?

Of course a baby made her more low maintenance. Her routine literally could not have gotten more high maintenance. She had nowhere to go but down.
