This is awful! I have both and I love them equally! I adopted Grimple, the tux, because he hugged me and proceeded to snot on me, so I thought that was funny. I got the corgi because my mom was unable to take care of her, and I love her so much I could never have children because I couldn't love them as much as I love…

Daily I take Klonopin, which is kind of like Xanax but rather that having an immediate calming spike then crash (which sounds like you experienced), it lasts about 8 hours and I'm never "out of it" or anything. My anxiety interferes with everything: I can't go to class, the grocery store, work, the doctor's, Christmas…

If he isn't a total stranger, pre-date, I think it would be a good way to finish up the evening, even if it's only horizontal hugging. Awkwardness is fun, and talking about sleeping arrangements is awkward, and I miss it, since I have a long-established relationship and nothing is awkward. It's kind of a bummer! Good…

No one is doing much on here, so I thought I would make a comment: I am officially a crochety old lady, at 24. I just told kids to get off my lawn, and threatening to call the police, and I am watching Say Yes to the Dress, and I am really getting married in a courthouse in a black dress. I am comforting myself with…

My parents would slip "Dear Abby" articles under my bedroom door that involved sex or relationships. Also, before I went to see "Riding in Cars with Boys", I had to have a face-to-face sex talk with my dad, who warned me not to ride in cars with boys. So, other than girl scouts, 4th grade educational videos and a…

@girl_ninja: I am walking around in spanxs and 3 sweaters and eating cupcakes and drinking beer. Cheers to living room-solitary/semi solitary new year's eves!

@equusjfr: Emergen-C/generic bubbly vitamin c! It's awesome. And go to bed with a full stomach. Think starchy: pasta and toast are good bets.

@aisuru113: The fact that I am developing diabetes is no hindrance to my holiday-sweets consumption binge. I just deal with the sugar crashes and the nausea and the shakes knowing that is was totally worth it for the sake of deliciousness. Two weeks of irresponsible sugar binges a year can't be that horrible, right?

@RodetheTrolleywithStanwyck: I'm right there with you. My parents would individually wrap socks and underwear and everything else that was little, so it seemed like there were so many presents. I grew up with that. Now, I feel like I need to have an equally heavy present haul for my partner. But, I have run out of…

@EndangeredRed: www.fudge-recipe.com is great. One recipe that is a definite winner is here: [www.fudge-recipe.com]

@aisuru113: Today I had some coffee cake, some german chocolate cake, some almond toffee and some pumpkin cheesecake for breakfast, and then some peppermint bark for lunch. To keep things healthy, though, I had two fried eggs, for protein or whatever, for a snack.

@PintoBeans: That is why I have a big party with lots of drinking, and I tell my friends, after I am properly inebriated, that they can take whatever they want. Of course, I am now missing a good chunk of my book collection, but at least I didn't have to carry 100 lbs. of books down several flights of stairs and then…

@ZioZio: It's a bit ridiculous. That is my flyer for the annual secret santa/dirty santa party. She's pumped for it, clearly.

Upon suggestion, I present to you all my very sweet, stinky dog, Laser, who wishes you all a very 80's holiday season.

@AspasiaTheLayza: There's this whole laziness/entitlement factor to apply to this situation. I am writing this paper on a Saturday night, I want to do it in my pajamas while drinking a beer! And the library closes at 6 at my school, and I don't want to pay for a coffee to sit at a Starbuck's. Also, this is *my*…

@divinelioness: I am sorry. The realist/pessimist in me always keeps the possibility of moving out of my house that I share with my boyfriend in the back of my mind, but I can't imagine the nightmare it would be. It's more than just moving out; it's an entirely life changing situation. But it happens because it needs…

@hellosunshine: The thing is, I don't know if he *is* purposely doing it. I think he is just totally unaware of others. That is what you get for posting a "Roommate Wanted" ad on Craigslist. And that is why we politely asked him to move out in December, with 3 months notice (because *we* are aware of others and…

Generally I am a lurker, but I feel like I want to contribute tonight because I really have no other options. Why?

@HopeAngel: We call cat snacks "nut rolls". We feel it humanizes our dog. Like, classy hors d'oeuvres. Made of poops. Also, we've caught her dragging condoms around.
