Same, Duke for me. I ignored those letters and I think I might have shown one to my mom - otherwise, garbage. It was summertime! I was supposed to be a mall rat with my friends and smoke cigs by the train tracks, not study! Ew!

I can pin point the exact moment tears started rolling down my face, it was at, "She's my best friend." That's the kind of love that I think many of us are looking for, to me it seems like the most honest and sweetest type of relationship. What a beautiful couple, you could clearly tell how in love they are with one…

I am pretty sure this is from 4-5 years ago?

In all seriousness, though, I got SO UPSET when I first started blogging and people were so durned mean about it. And then I got over it. Because I stopped looking.

If only the rest of us could quit our professions if people are obnoxious to us. It would be nice.

This story reminds me of earlier this year when tennis player Rebecca Marino quit over Internet bullying. I get that it's horrible, and that she has a right to be online and not be bullied, but to choose to quit your profession rather than quit the Internet? I feel like I must be missing some information because at…

It's like with authors who Google their reviews, then freak the fuck out when they see them. Um, stop?

You missed the best part where she says she's going to throw her Internet in the lake. Fascinated to know how that works.

Is anyone else dying to know which very famous person emailed Katie?

I mean, I get it. I go through phases where I can't bring myself to comment here or on GT at all, because no matter how much I try and put a protective sleeve over my feelings, there's a point where getting hammered still hurts - a lot - even when you "have it coming".

$50!! I mean, it's cheaper than a baby but yowza.

Isn't it awesome how Tea Partiers and the Taliban both fear the New World Order? They should probably team up.

At the end I advise you to come back home

Much like asshole religious people who generalize all non-believers, atheists or skeptics should not generalize religious people, lest they be seen as assholes as well.

My boyfriend told me a while ago "a stern talking-to from you is like acid in the face from anyone else".

I take that as a compliment.

Also, on the other side of things, there's this from a WHO site:

Hah.

Do you know what makes me feel crazy? Being told I have to be nice without being a pushover. Firm, but not too firm - that's bitchy! Professional, but not intimidating - or no man will marry you! Professionally successful, but also maternal - because that's what yer parts are for, woman! Be fashionable, but don't…

So this is all based on patients seeking treatment? Good thing there isn't any social reason that men wouldn't seek help for mental health problems, and instead, I don't know, commit suicide at rates ranging from much to astronomically higher than women. Seems legit.

Because admitting you're sad means you're crazy, but holding in all your feelings till you burst.. that's perfectly sane. Ah, to see things from their perspective.
