A Sense of Poise and Rationality

I am slightly terrified of learning that, myself. In my mind, I was reacting to everyone being douchecanoes by developing a sarcastic bitch exterior... there is a decent chance that I was always a sarcastic bitch and just didn’t want to admit it at the time. Now I just own it. And hope that they actually deserved all

That line pushed it over the edge into my new favorite song. I was hoping she would release more songs in the vein of “Blank Space” and happy she delivered.

That was my exact thought. I love Taylor and especially appreciate her wit (the line about going home to her cats alone...unless you want to come along is fantastic), but the opening lines immediately put me on edge. On one hand, I can justify it as a send-up of sorts of obnoxious men, and a riff on songs like

It’s the Olivia Pope motto: Twice as good for half the credit.

One of my favorite drunken memories is watching the Baby Snakes concert DVD. My group was all chatting until we suddenly realized we had completely missed the concert part and had been listening to the words “baby snakes” over and over since the DVD menu played on repeat.

As someone who is frequently harassed by obnoxious men, I have a strict policy that I respond exactly as respectfully as I was addressed. So the guy at the bar openly ogling my ass while trying to buy me a drink gets a “thanks for being so subtle; you’ll have a great view of my ass as I walk away from you, asshole!”

Little Miss Sunshine. Most underrated movie ever.

After my rape, I held it together for almost a week. I didn’t even cry when I was along; I decided to power through and pretend it had been consensual and everything was normal (I was assaulted by someone I was dating). When I did break down and tell my “friends,” no one took me seriously. The two male “friends” I

There is no bigger kick in the face than seeing (or thinking you saw) your attacker’s face. Mine lives in my (relatively small) city, and I did see him at my job more than once. I was fortunate to have supportive coworkers who tried to protect me, and now I work in a much less public place (i.e., no longer retail). I

I tried to start a list for my sorority in college. I just wanted something like a scrapbook, with pictures of creepy guys, their names, and their M.O. I hooked up with a ton of them my freshman year, and was lucky enough to have awesome RAs who basically sat me down and told me who to stay away from. One of the guys

I was married for 5 years, and knew very early on that the relationship was not fantastic, but didn’t break up due to extenuating circumstances (his dad died a month in). Had things gone differently, I would have dumped him a couple of months in. But I told myself things would get better and I just needed to love him

One of my closest friends is a sex addict. She has been married for several years, and her husband is incredibly understanding. She has a boatload of mental health issues and traumas she hasn’t worked through (she’s afraid to seek treatment, because she knows she’s fucked up and doesn’t want the confirmation/to

That sounds terrifying. If it helps, I have never had one shoot at me like a hose.

All of the above, lol! I’m a total size queen, and girth is definitely a factor. The ones I’ve been stunned by were smooth and a gorgeous shade of light pink, minimal hair, and big.

Lol! Both, actually. I’ve only seen two that I thought were really nice (out of the *cough* very few *cough* I’ve seen). But yeah, his techniques are definitely what pushed him over the edge—the other attractive one was attached to a very boring lay.

I don’t know; I did fall in love with my partner’s dick long before I fell in love with the rest of him. He is aware of this and alternately flattered and kind of sad that I just wanted him for sex for so long.

Agreed. She needs a few months away from everyone at a place where she can get clean and sober and healthy (mentally and physically). I really think a large part of her issues (obviously, mental health is a big piece, but more of a long-term goal) is the people surrounding her. No one seems to have her best interests

It’s so sad...I can’t imagine all of the therapy needed.

Oh yeah! I remember that one. It’s kind of amazing; at this point, there is an appropriate SVU episode for pretty much any scenario. I would totally buy it if the situation was based on Lohan or Amanda Bynes. Or Hayden Panittiere, based on blind items I’ve read.

Interesting.
