I'll love you forever for this.

No, I don't think it's about a pretty girl whining about how pretty she is. I understand the feeling of "you know, there's a hell of a lot more to me than just my looks." I've gotten it from both sides; people who think I'm attractive and people who think I'm not. At the end of the day, they are still trying to…

Exactly. There are so many things I care about more than whether or not someone perceives me as pretty.

Exactly. Most of my own issues with insecurity have virtually nothing to do with my physical appearance, but being told "you don't need to feel insecure; you're pretty!" means absolutely nothing to me.

But of course, no, cuz that would have been touching…

Alfie Boe. People might not know the name, but he is GLORIOUS.

You want to make yourself REALLY depressed? Listen to Norm Lewis' version of Stars and then Russell Crowe's directly afterwards. It will make you cry for all the wrong reasons.

I would think a white person taking an African American Studies course in hopes to get an easy A would definitely pick Rosa Parks as an essay topic. She's one of the most easily identifiable figures of the Civil Rights Movement, someone who's story is told and studied in a majority public schools throughout the…

Well, thank you!

THAT is brilliant.

"I think it's different when you have an office job because it's routine and you know you can do all the stuff in the morning, and then you come home in the evening," she said. "When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day, and that part…

There is a fantastic book "The Ruby Slippers of Oz" by Rhys Thomas about the existing slippers and the insane hunts, thefts and conspiracies that have surrounded them.
