I read one of Didion's essays in an English I anthology in college — I was also 19 — and I was hooked, though oddly enough I can barely remember them now - I remember her long drives on a freeway devoid of traffic and Hollywood threesomes, but not much else. I read Magical Thinking right after my mom died. Her memoirs…

Gotta say, I feel Rosie. There isn't a woman who can't relate at some point in their lives.

I knew the second the royal wedding was over the tabs would be on nonstop bumpwatch. I'm actually surprised it's taken this long.

SASSY! How many times did I submit to "It Happened To Me"? There was a short reader poetry section and I used to cut out my favorites and keep them in my wallet. That mag was my bible. We need to get it on Google Books!

Is that Niki Taylor? I think I had that issue.

Blaming the victim is fun! In all seriousness, he usually comes close to that line but doesn't cross it. In this case he was tone-deaf.

Ha!

Well it IS Chattanooga...

Hey, I like Harper!

Seriously! Mental health is so poorly understood in this country. My aunt picked her skin to such a degree that she developed staph infections. When you're genetically predisposed, it's so hard to undo. And my mother saw what was happening to me and instead of sending me straight to a therapist in high school, she…

When I spoke with a very nice doctor who was so understanding (in the world of self-injury, this is rare), she said sometimes insurance companies will reimburse for this specialized treatment, but lord knows how long it would be before I see that money. I'm going to try again, though — that was last year, and I don't…

Horrifying for technophobes? It's horrifying for someone born in 1977.

I love Rihanna.

They also refuse to cover specialized treatment for OCD-spectrum disorders like the one I have, dermatillomania. Many psychiatrists don't know how to treat specific disorders on the OCD spectrum, and there's a clinic on E. 42nd Street I'm dying to visit so I can receive cognitive behavior therapy — I'd only need 12…

I want to go to there.

They're busy beating the living shit out of the law-abiding citizens in Zuccotti Park.

Phew. I was about to freak out that Canada had resorted to American-style political tactics. Glad to see it's probably a typo.

Did Star really put a captioned torso on the front page? What did Julie Bowen ever do to them?

Catelynn and Tyler's story is the most realistic depiction of adoption on TV.

I love Vinny. He's in on the joke, he's quite intelligent, and he and Pauly are witty as hell.
