Thank you for this. That's what I keep telling myself to do. All of the best to you and Sir Cannoli.

Ugh what! I read this and thought, "Certainly not Chicago, in the douche fest that is the Dave Matthews Caravan going on tonight". I wish I had known this existed.

Friends of friends. Friend's boyfriend's friends, etc. When you have a common thread, it makes it way easier. As for not a fling, don't hook up right away. It's trite, but seems to be true. Take it with a grain of salt, because I have hooked up right away and it turned into a great relationship. But it probably…

I think that's actually a big part of it. We weren't sure if he'd be moving for a job. Thing is, after we found out he officially was, we were finally able to really connect, like there was no more uncertainty, and we had like two perfect months. And then he moved, and I have this constant nagging fear that what we…

Ah no, I just went to a catholic university, but I'm an atheist. My parents felt that religious diversity was really important. I went to a Jewish pre-school and have some jewish family, so I know my way around the Torah. I went to a Methodist kindergarten, Seventh-day Adventist elementary school, public high…

Distractions are the best denial. Nothing in the entire world makes getting dumped feel better. It's the worst thing anyone can go through. The only way to feel better, is to distract so you don't think about it for a little bit. Friends and family are your best choice right now. And don't let yourself analyze. …

I always watch the movies with my Dad at the theatre, but I'm secretly going before with a friend because I'm too embarrassed to sob in front of my father at the theatre. I need to emotionally prepare first. It kind of feels like my childhood is officially over. I remember so many moments, like the first time I…

I've got one- I'm having trust issues with BF. Mostly because I'm a paranoid fool, but also because we dated for months before he would refer to me as GF, and sometimes I feel like I forced him into it. I doubt anyone after a year would be in a situation they don't want to be in, but seriously. I'm making myself…

THIS is the quote I was looking for, thank you. I am certainly not applying that religious=douche. I was the "maid of honor" at my mormon best friend's wedding last year. Went to a catholic university. Etc. etc. etc. I'm all for people being down with Jesus. I'm just not down with people bitching about those who…

There's the rub. This is exactly how he was. I'm not hating on religious people. Just the religiously intolerant.

It's gone because I bought it. Duh.

Meh. It's still ruined. Now that I know Mycoskie was the douche on the amazing race who refused to pray in front of an idol at a buddhist temple, his true colors of conservative douche are out for all to see.

On a minorly unrelated note, I get my hair done at this salon where everyone goes by a first name. It's a big salon, and I never really paid attention to the fact that nobody has last names, until a girl I knew got a job as a receptionist there. Turns out if you start working there and someone already has your first…

I am the only person ever in all eternity who has had my name. If one of my brothers has a daughter and tries to give her my name I will smack them.

I used to work at a call center, and once got in trouble for laughing when a client introduced herself as Jennifer Lopez. This also happened when a co-worker spoke to a Ben Stein. Ah names. Hilarity!

The last thing I want while doing a downward facing dog is my own boobs hanging in my face. No thanks.

This is way more dramatic than Oprah's last show.

As someone who has not followed the Casey Anthony case at all (out of disdain for Nancy Grace) I personally think she should be flattered. At least Casey doesn't have constant stink face. Murder face maybe.

OMG Oprah's and Idaho! My two favorite things!

I AM EMOTIONALLY TORN. WANT TO HUG. WANT TO FEEL SADS. GIVE ME PUPPY NOW.
