Not entirely the same, but at the very beginning of my freshman year, I ran into a girl from my high school—we were sort of friends. I told her how my roommate had never showed up and apparently had withdrawn from school. She got insanely excited. "My roommate is black," she explained. "I have to get out of that…

One year in college, I was a Rho Chi, which are basically the group leaders for all the possible new members that are rushing. We have to disaffiliate from our houses for rush week so that none of the girls we are "guiding" knows what house we are. Rush had been relatively easy for me, I got in a top house, blah,…

That was a brilliant strategy.

That is interesting. My school was exactly opposite, you rushed and joined before you even started classes. I never thought about having to spend a semester under the microscope. I don't even want to think how bad I'd have appeared, but then maybe letting my true colors fly might have helped the process. I liked my…

On the whole, I'd say no. First off, frat rush is totally different. The guys just go around to the houses and sort of hang out and figure out if the brothers seem to like you and if you like the brothers. There is little structure. That said, I do know some guys who got rejected from their dad's frats and were pretty…

This. The few friends I made outside the Greek system were demonstrably more intellectual and interesting, but, alas, I had "socials" to attend. I had a great drunken college time, but I'm pretty sure I was the only girl in my sorority to attend a reading that wasn't part of a class assignment.

At my college, we rushed before college even started. So I was already in a sorority before I went to my first class. I thought it was a little insane then and now I think it's completely crazy. It almost felt like I started college with a brand on my back that I couldn't read! Most of the people at a college know the…

In next week's episode, Louis and Marie put the final touches on their daughter's birthday party—will the Duke of Chartres get an invite? And we get to the bottom of those mysteriously dressed people outside the gates holding pitchforks.

It seems like a movie-length episode of Desperate Housewives. Fantastic!

I was just thinking that about Bronn. Great name, but no family title. The little people always get overlooked (heh).

I was wondering when someone would bring up Nymeria. Love that name.

Oh and on Asha, I got nothing. Yeah, she's just all badass and seawater.

Apparently messaging is not allowed right now, so I'll do some double speak. Basically, his kindness to a rather large fig-her in the book while still being a swashbuckling bad boy with a dirty mouth makes me ever-so-happy. And I find that Dany's need to free everything around her (except the dragons) makes her also…

A lot of toddlers choose those names (especially Biter) all on their own.

So true. I literally wanted to cover my eyes when I was reading those final chapters about him. Oh Theon!

I love Jamie as well tho I can't say why since it could be a huge spoiler for anyone reading the series. That Cersei bitch tho, I'd like to see her head on a spike. I can't figure out how Jamie never saw through her earlier—incestuous love is really blind apparently. (That said, one thing that bugs me about the G of T…

I'm right there with y'all. Some days I'm better than others, but I'm still struggling to accept what I think my body should weigh and what it actually should weigh.

I starved myself as a teenager because I thought even the slightest bit of fat would be unattractive to a man (my dad left my mom for a retired, incredibly thin ballerina, so...), but that said, when you start to get all super strict about your diet and body, you start looking down on women who don't. I think that is…

Not voting. Especially if you are for a woman's right to choose and gay rights. Republicans want to do away with both. That's not mindless voting, it is voting with your conscience.
