I hear you. Wah! The spoilers! I got up extra early this morning to start my download so I could watch it after work. I mean, sure I can still enjoy the fashion, but now I'll never know who I would have picked as the winner.

I lived in a town that had a weird number of doctors with profession appropriate last names. We had a surgeon named Dr. Cutler and another called Dr. Payne (which is almost more unfortunate than appropriate but also cool) and the hospital also had a Dr. Mann and a Dr. Human. My dentist was Dr. Smilie. A friend also…

Haha, I read stuck-ups too. (and then thought "yeah, I guess sometimes I'm a bit of a snob...")

I had an archaeology professor in undergrad who worked with obsidian a lot and flint knapping in general. Some time in the mid '80s he had to have hand surgery and persuaded his surgeon to use obsidian microblades: sharper and thinner than surgical steel. He told us they were really impressed with how quickly he…

Most of my dreams are just eerie and unsettling but not what I'd classify as nightmares (and rarely are they particularly happy either, though they're regularly quite interesting and plot driven!)

Augh, hate that one. In mine they turn grey near the gum line and then just slide right out with light tongue or finger pressure. Once the first one goes I start anxiously checking and testing them in turn and.. *shudders*

I've never felt the need to hide tampon or pad purchases at the grocery store. The only time I feel awkward is if all I'm buying is a box of tampons and a giant pile of chocolate due to the blatant cliche factor. "What? I just like chocolate... generally!"

Sounds like the use of tap water was the biggest issue here. But man, that is some interesting virus-ception!

Perhaps... Young Justice. But damn it, there are just so few new/current and good cartoon dramas and I like my Saturday morning cartoons with drama!

I dismissed the show initially based on that first season. The only people I knew who watched it were non-nerdy types and it felt a bit awkward and like it was trying too hard to depict 'nerds.' I know some of my friends found it a bit offensive and I wasn't crazy about the fact that the only main female character…

A portion of my social group is made up of astrophysicists either working on their PhDs or doing Post Docs, and there's too much that rings true. (Except that sometimes our group is -more- socially awkward than the characters on Big Bang.)

Sometimes I'll wait 'till I can sneak into the work bathroom before I start to do it there just due to the side-eye one endures on the bus for putting on lipstick. I mean, tweezing and nail clipping is gross, I can see that (blech, saw someone toe-nail clipping on a bus once!) but a bit of lipstick? I felt very…

Fair enough. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I had issues with OCD from around age 6 until I was about 16, but I was super lucky that it dissipated on its own (along with some CBT to help it on its way); I always live in fear of it coming back and definitely know that fighting with your own brain is a…

Haha, nope! I just wear concealer for blemishes. If I find the time I might add mascara and nude lipstick. Usually I'll 'do' my hair on the bus, but I have easily manageable curls that don't frizz easily and only need washing every three days so I'll just rotate between wearing it down (no fixing required!),…

I can see what you're saying, but I found that type of sentiment (albeit delivered by my elders siblings who just told me to hold out until university, where things would be better,) a helpful one when I was a teenager. Mind you, the bullying I suffered was less threat-of-death or terrible rumors, and more having…

I'm also excited by the new 'little bites' variety: higher sugar to wheat ratio! (Being able to choose to brazenly eat these bad boys for dinner is one of the biggest perks of being an adult.)

That's why you heap them with brown sugar! Any healthy aspect to them? Nullified!

This may or may not be relevant depending on how old your son is, but when I was about 6-9 years old, my then 16-19 year old D&D playing brother used to create loose D&D inspired stories for me and sometimes my friends. It helps if you're a good story teller (he was/is also an artist and used to sketch out characters…

I totally misunderstood the title initially. I thought it meant women were hiring more black people than men were, not that more black women were being hired than black men.

Haha, this exactly! (except that strapless one usually goes back the drawer because hey, it still smells OK...)
