She didn't show any interest in a romantic relationship with a guy, either. That's the point. We don't know what her sexuality is, so we can't assume she's straight any more than we can assume that she's gay. Lord almighty, you are a heteronormative person.

I think that just means that she could be a lesbian because nothing tells us whether she's gay or straight. And that's cool, because most Disney characters are incredibly heteronormative.

Do you really think single mothers are somehow not aware that they might be more financially stable if they were married? If mothers are unpartnered, it's for good reason, and 'promoting marriage' isn't going to change that.

Totes! I love Levin. I named my guitar after him shortly after reading that book. The bit at the end when he has the huge revelation is like, earthshakingly awesome. <3 Tolstoy

"Striding jauntily into cocktail parties with my skirt tucked into my underpants". . .I think you may have just titled my autobiography.

Somewhat relatedly, that freakin' Owl City song ruined the whole city of Seattle for me. The song was in my head the whole time I was there, but I didn't know the words so I was just singing it with surreal standins the whole time, like "Hello Seattle, there is a big brown bear. . .on my head. . ."

Yeah. . .I didn't hate it as much as I tend to hate stuff with her in it, but that's not saying much. I just find her brand of twee intensely irritating. And I really like Call Me Maybe, oddly. Possibly it's because it seems like Zooey is supposed to be sort of ironic and Carly is just straight-up fun.

Zooey Deschanel and "correctly portraying innocent goofiness as a grown woman" do NOT go together in my mind.

"How you can derive any pleasure from this, I can't fathom." Funny, that's exactly how I feel about Aerosmith.

I think the problem might be that you don't KNOW if you're interested until you've actually spoken to the person. A lot of the time I'll have a great conversation with someone and really want to get to know them, but forget their name- and that's probably because when they told me their name, I didn't really care.…

Oh my god, yoga. I swear to god half the people in my yoga class are manufactured by Lulu Lemon. But, my instructor is amazing and certainly doesn't think I'm worth less as a student because I'm larger than the other class members, so whatever! If you find the right instructor, the stress of feeling out of place will…

I really want a gym where I can rent a hot guy to always be running on the treadmill next to me. I find this drastically improves my performance when it happens because I'm like 'heyyy, look at me, I'm so FAST!'*

There are ways to foster a non-judgmental gym community without outright banning skinny people. My YMCA does a GREAT job of this. All of the language they use is focused on health and wellness, not weight or appearance, and they have classes and programs specifically geared towards people with different abilities. As…

Me too. I've been freaking out all day because I emailed some people a self-imposed deadline for when I'd get something to them and then was panicked I wouldn't meet it, even though I'm pretty sure none of them give a shit and aren't going to look at it for at least two days after I send it. At least I understand the…

To be fair, they don't want men having pleasurable consequence-free sex either.

I didn't know what Orkut was, so I went to the site to check it out.

I'll be annoyed about this, but first I have to finish being annoyed about this trend of turning vapid self-help books into vapid movies. That might take awhile.

Teeehee :)

Hey, Raysism made a comment that isn't completely infuriating! Keep it up, Broseph!

It seems like you're conflating "my ex" with "men". I'm a woman and I am terrible about my laundry (I can never remember whether it's hot or cold for dark or light so I just pick the one in between, and I never use fabric softener), and I don't even own a vacuum cleaner at the moment. I also fail to see how ripping a…
