I just bought a sickly kitteh home from the shelter.She's only about 6-7 weeks old. I looked for a kitty for 2 years and I just couldn't leave this girl behind. I swaddled her and shoved her in my cleavage for the ride home and she has not left my side since. It's a bit difficult though because she has super bad…

I've put a lot of my identity into my career because it was the only thing I was really good at almost immediately with no effort. It's a big deal cause I grew up being really shitty at many common subjects/hobbies so it was a major confidence boost to finally find "my thing" in my sophomore year of college. And when…

Baby Haa smiled at me for the first time today. I'm in heaven.

So I'm really depressed. I had a shot at an honest to jeebus miracle to stop my seizures which involved a 3 day stay in the hospital hooked up to a high tech (think HD instead of reg tv) EEG machine to see where my seizures originate from. I usually have 20 ish seizures a week. I didn't have any seizures, just…

I went to try on Matron of Honor dresses yesterday with my friend, who is getting married. The experience was something else—rows and rows of pretty dresses that people keep bringing for you to try. The best thing is that the shopworker kept telling me how great my legs are and how tiny I am.

How do you ask a guy out? A friend wants to know. I've never done it so I have no advice to give.

So, I'm thinking about being Pam from True Blood for Halloween. I thought I probably should just go to some sex shop and find dominatrix-ish clothes but they might be really expensive. Anyone else doing something similar? Have any creative ideas for finding the right clothes? I was also considering Johnny Cash if this…

UGH trying to make a syllabus and I am two topics short and have been sitting here wringing out my brain for hours trying to manufacture two more and I just really miss the quarter system you guys.

Fucking fuck fuck fuck fuck! I missed a workshop at my dance studio because I messed up on scheduling. I feel like I am totally losing my mind at this point. In the past month, I've had multiple ailments, multiple ever changing doctor's appointments, and multiple appointments for apartment hunting that have been…

I'm sorry to hear about that! Last year I was in a terrible rut and I ended up visiting a therapist. The best thing she had me do was make sure to do at least one happy thing every day. I was supposed to plan them so I had something to look forward to. Suggested activities on the sheet she gave me (she took a…

Anyone out there who is partnered/married but with no kids has and no plans to have kids? What does your circle of friends look like?

So, I had an anxiety flare up today. I should mention that it's not anything clinical - just maladaptive thought processes. My thing was/is to worry about X incessantly because I figure like the ruminating will solve something and before I tried to control it I could obsess for days. A combination of emotional abuse…

Joined the party too late last night, so trying again! What are everyone's favorite scary novels? I want to catch up on my leisurely reading!

So...my mom confided in me that she and my dad are having problems in their marriage, and are seeking counseling. (She only told me because I noticed my father acting bizarre during my last visit, and thought he was angry at me for some reason). I just...don't know what to think. I am pretty newly married myself, and…

I've seen the question on this site a few times, of how to respond to strangers in public who demand that you "smile!" Last week I was stumbling out of a gas station with a crappy cup of coffee to my car, going over like 8 million things I needed to get done at work, and a guy on a motorcycle told me to smile. I…

Any scientist Jezzies out there? If so, what do you do?

Any tips on over coming depression sans medication? I tried Prozac recently but the side effects were the worst!

Jezzies I'm continuing my hunt from yesterday; please tell me your favorite sexytimes song! There is one special one I'm looking for that I can't remember anything about basically but I also want new ones in case the one I desire can never be found :( Cheer me up, fill the hole in my bedroom playlist please!

I have such a headache. I've taken both ibuprofen and aspirin for it, and blah, still have it.

Made some pumpkin bread pudding last night so its bread pudding for dinner today! First time trying out this recipe, I can't wait to make it again.
