Holy crap, complain away. I know how you feel (sorry to insert a story of my own here, but I truly do sympathize with you!): I interned with a guy who was JUST like that. At first, I thought he was kind of cute and he was the first person who started really talking to me so I was vaguely interested. Soon though, I…

Is he cuddling with a tiny Edgar Allan Poe? Mr. Poe looks a little befuddled by this development...and Odie looks a bit like "what's the big deal? I am unashamed."

I have to admit that it made me laugh, in a flabbergasted "did someone actually think that was a good idea?" because gross.

Nope, not weird. At all. All the talk of "maybe we need a little guy" (paraphrased) and heroism...makes me misty-eyed like whoa.

I spent this very stressful week watching videos of huskies talking back and being stubborn. They make me smile.

Re: your second point - the "star power" would be annoying if it wasn't well-done overall, or if they'd been joyless about it or whatever. But like you said, there's no harm in an actor doing what they love and bringing droves of fans into the theatre as a result. More theatre never hurt anybody! Plays aren't boring…

Oh man, I'm so sorry you're still hurting - it's definitely rough.

Oh, me too. I thought I would be disappointed too. I've never been so happy to be wrong.

I know there's nothing I can do, but there's a not-so-small part of me that thinks there should be something. Sigh.

So my mom is conservative and Republican and my dad is liberal and (mostly) Democrat. It worked, or wasn't much of an issue, until the Bush Years. I'm pretty sure the tipping point was the Iraq War. Now that the Republican party is going batshit insane, my dad is becoming more and more, shall we say, frustrated with…

As much as I hate to admit it, I think I'm a liiitle like your friend - I truly do appreciate when my friends give me gifts, but I'm poor and terrible at shopping so my gifts are things I can make (usually baked goods and/or crafts), but I always feel bad that my gifts aren't as expensive or fancy as theirs...

I wish I could give you advice that hasn't already been given so I'll offer my solidarity! Good luck!

I was lucky enough to see this in London (twice!) and JESUS CHRIST, I could hardly believe how much I loved it. I've been too poor to buy the digital version but now that I have some extra cash...it's mine! :)

I fought tooth and nail to get myself to London to see that stage adaptation - it was amazing. Funny and sharp and sassy and sweet all at once. Their chemistry is perfect (obvs), and the two of them are absolutely lovely.

This is all I have to say in answer to this.

Thanks for the reply! I would love to give attention/socialize/walk/play with both the dogs and cats. And I definitely understand that there are abandoned and abused animals - I'm under no illusions that I'll be able to save every animal, but...I really love animals and I can't afford to adopt or foster right now so I…

I am an Owl but it seems like all or most of my friends are Larks, which is weird. And they normally don't notice that I'm not on the same sleep schedule as they are, until they catch me off guard and call me at 8 in the goddamn morning on a Saturday... I guess I'm an Owl masquerading as a Lark...which means that I…

My dog just stares at me with all the force he can summon and makes very very soft grunting noises. It's remarkably effective and somehow enjoyable to wake up to a tiny dog's "I need to peeeee" look.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool. What do you do?

DC Jezzies! I'm looking to volunteer at an animal shelter because I figure I'll give all my loving to the dogs and cats and other animals who are waiting for a home (since I can't adopt/foster at this point). I'm considering the WARL but wanted to know if anyone's had experience with them before and how was it? Or if…
