@PilgrimSoul: i'm in complete agreement with you. these people are making a choice, and they seem pretty well adjusted to that choice, so who are we to be so judgy?

@ccchild: that's what i was thinking too - the immediate assumption that they have a deep-seated mental problem kinda rubs me the wrong way, you know?

@SisterMaryMartha: i sorta don't know how i feel about biological determinism either. and sometimes after i have sex, i also feel like "you know, that was a lot of effort for not that much gain." i mean, i've also had moments of absolute orgasmic bliss, so i don't think i'm asexual.

i know next to nothing about Hayden Panettiere. but i like the fact that her thighs touch, because celebrity gazelle legs always make me hate my own stumpy pony legs.

actually, that email wouldn't have been all that ridiculous if he hadn't mentioned his GIGANTIC DICK. in my experience, it's usually the guys who *never* talk about it who are really packing.

god bless MP - because i feel the same way with my job. i'm barely in one place long enough to get to know anyone and put some roots down. so basically we're perfect for each other.

there was a spider in my sink about a week ago, so i built this complex of cardboard ramps for her to get out on her own. took a few days, but now i kinda miss seeing her around.

what about Bill Richardson? i would support the hell out of that pair.

Sam is channeling Shane in the best way

now these are the women i want to see modeling clothes in magazines. talk about "Fierce!"

@Blucheez: gross. so basically, it's married guys looking for younger women. how novel. and the whole "women have fewer options" part makes me angry because it's kinda true. arrgh!

this kind of story makes me feel ok about being single again, because at least i don't have to worry about infidelity.

@Werrick: i agree - it totally bothers me that IF they had their medals stripped, it would probably be devastating for those girls. and all so that China could win the event.

they're going to bury a whale? seems like so many bad decisions have been made throughout this whole process. harrowing.

he looks so happy to be with her! that's super-cute.

although my heart is broken, Michael Phelps, better you stick with swimmers and stay Far Away from hollywood.

@disco2000: my favorites were definitely the pirates and the castles. i've got hugs for you if you were born in the '80s!

@Anthem_: seriously - i think that would be a much better use of those funds.

you know what's reductive: dolls v. trucks.

also, when he was dating Jen, Brad Pitt was hot (Fight Club, c'mon..) but since he's been with Angelina, um.. not hot anymore.
