Whatever. Fuck these people and their fucking gadgets. I'm not here to throw shade on you if fitness isn't your thing. So move along if you watch HoC while eating a tub of tres leches cake. Life is short, I'm glad you found your way to forget we are all headed to the grave.

I'm going to stop defending my choices to assholes and just start using the simple but brilliant sign off "because fuck you that's why."

The A&Ws I went to in the States either had self-serve beverages (usually if they were an A&W and something else—the one in the town where I lived was an A&W/KFC) or served them without ice, though I think they *had* ice if someone requested it.

I don't know. I think it might end up being convenient if I ever decide to marry my boyfriend. That way, he can get all sorts of the video games and gadgets he likes as wedding presents and I can go to Best Buy and look for a new boyfriend.

I would have to register. Month before my Nov birthday I have to send out a list of what I want for that and/or Christmas/Hanukkah because no one ever knows what to get me (I am the family geek with interests few get, excluding the uncle who for years has simply been sending me bits of his old comics collection).

I actually looked at the rider. He was asking for things like having a clean, dry dressing room in close proximity to the stage, couches to sit on, really simple food and beverages for his crew. I've been at some back stage thingies, and the ones I have been to have been pretty simple as well. He's asking for…

I really don't think this would look anywhere near as bad without the crowbarred wisecracks telling me what I'm supposed to think between every paragraph. I'm struggling to find anything wrong with this, and I'm not even a Jack White fan.

I used to work at a strip club in Dupont Circle D.C. that was a block away from the utterly fantastic Kramerbooks & Afterwords, a 24 hour bookstore and cafe.

Sorting through my grandmother's papers after she died, I discovered a marriage certificate from when she was 17 to a man I had never heard of. The annulment was dated two weeks after the marriage. My grandmother told a million crazy ass stories about her life and was never pretended to be any kind of paragon of…

technically, this wasn't a lie, more of a deception, but here goes. I was born in another country but went to university in Australia. Because I didn't have permanent residency status, I was on a student visa, I was only allowed to work 20 hours a week. My classes started, and I was desperate to find a job. My savings…

I once convinced an entire Colorado community that I was Jennifer Lopez.

At 18 I left the country for the week and told my parents I was staying with friends a couple of hours away because I was a dumb asshole teenager.

I just like the idea of a regular 24h bookstore. "It's 2AM and I need an annotated version of The Stranger immediately!'

Picture it....1979. Tiny Beer was at summer day camp and the activity of the week was archery. For some reason, otherwise fearless little Beer was TOTALLY FUCKING TERRIFIED of archery.

That I was orgasming.

While I agree that most often times honesty is the best policy, fuck that guy for calling you damaged goods.

"No, mom and dad, I do not know who broke into the Jehovah's Witness church and vandalized it- but it certainly wasn't me and my friends!"

Not to mention it's a pretty touchy subject with plenty of amazing, powerful WoC. Feminism is awesome and is moving towards increased recognition of intersections but it's still a tough label for a lot of marginalized women. She's damned if she does or doesn't, and the label can be important but isn't everything. …

Honestly, I think it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for Nicki. If she said she was a feminist, there would be "She claims she's a feminist when she does XYZ!" articles. If she said she's not a feminist, there would be "How can any woman say she's not a feminist!?" articles. Not answering seems to…

Well unfortunately quarter life crisis happens to coincide with the time in your life when you're the most broke. :/
