Help! I'm traveling this summer for a study abroad course, and afterward I've decided to stay in London for a little over a week by myself. I'm kind of freaking out a little about the "by myself" part, and also monies. I kind of decided to stay for this extra 10 days without totally checking to make sure I could do…

You are my kind of person! I've tried suggesting this kind of thing to my family and get told that I don't have any Christmas spirit :(

Yep, I did ask someone else, but their answer was not really in my style of gift-giving (he suggested a LOTR bobble head, which is all fine and good, but I'm not a bobble head kind of person I guess). I guess I'm just being picky and neurotic. I may end up getting a gift card for the store he suggested for the bobble…

This is always an option. I just feel like I would be phoning it in, which doesn't make sense because I always love getting gift cards. Maybe a gift card and some personalized baking or a neat pair of socks (I love getting socks, so I'll just assume other people do as well) ?

Ohh. This sounds good! I'll have to see if I can find it to take a look. Thanks!

Christmas gift advice! I know everyone is gearing up for Thanksgiving, but I have an early Christmas gift exchange, and I'm at a loss. I'm involved with a newish group of friends, but I only really know a couple of them, and the person I'm buying a gift for I really only know very superficially. I don't want to get…

I will read it!! I'll trek to the library on Monday! I am very excited.

How have I made it this far in life without knowing about this book??!!! I haven't once gotten a joke about this book, but I may be the one making them from now on. I've only gotten "It's all Greek to me" about a millions times.

Studying, so much studying. I've come to the conclusion at only a crazy person would take a Greek course. I am a crazy person.

I volunteered to run a book club for teens (ish) at my work. It's next week and I'm kind of freaking out. I've never done it before, and get really nervous when I'm talking even to medium sized groups if I'm not prepared. So any suggestions?

I've been looking at these Frye boots for weeks now. I want them, but they are soo expensive, and I can't find anywhere that ships to Canada without crazy charges.

Where are my pants?! help me, internet. I can't find the pants I want to wear tonight, because somebody in my house decided to clean. Where would you put a perfectly nice pair of black jeans?

Happy birthday! We are almost birthday twinsies, mine's on tuesday! Hope your day is great tomorrow!

I had this problem at my school library too, and my mom had to come in to tell the librarian to let me read books!

No advice really, other than to just go for it. The worst they can say is no. But you are probably really awesome, so why would they do that?!

And maybe some Gilmore Girls-esque banter from those fab mother-daughter funeral directing duos! I know I'll be tuning in.

Umm.. I definitely love PEZ. Of course the dispenser makes it a little more fun, but I've always been in it for the candy. They're like little bricks of yummy yummy sugar!

Sorry about your family situation, but I'm glad you've found a space of your own! Even though my family are good people, I often feel like they're just not my people, which is definitely part of the problem. Thanks for sharing!

Hmm. That's a feeling I've never had except in my own romantic notions about cities I haven't actually been to. I've never missed anywhere that I've lived, I've always just floated around with the idea that I am where I am, but I might not be there for very long. I moved a lot when I was a kid, so I think I've…

Happy birfday! It's funny how people suddenly love you when it's your birthday. Have fun in hiding! It's always my preference for birthdays :)
