I have eight tattoos, some of which I’ve grown to like more than others, but I don’t regret any of them. The ones that I love the most are those that are truly meaningful to me in some way. For example, I have the silhouette of a rabbit on my inner arm, because my grandfather’s last name means “rabbit” in Portuguese…

You are me, right down to the Not Your Father’s Rootbeer (isn’t that shit awesome?). I’ve always been 100 times more comfortable with writing than speaking; I express myself so much more clearly that way. I’m much better than I used to be, but lately I’ve noticed that my chest has started getting really red whenever I…

My husband and I have been together since we were 17 (we’re 35 now). The first two years of college apart were extremely hard (lots of late night tear-filled phone calls and stupid fights about bullshit). But we made it through, and this was before everyone had cellphones and wonderful inventions like Facetime. We…

I used to be a copy editor for my local newspaper. Just a warning-if you ever leave for another profession, those copy editing “instincts” (i.e., inability to ignore even the smallest grammar mistake) never leave you.

Gotta agree with you there. People quietly fucking under a blanket vs. bratty, screaming kids or chatty people who don’t understand social cues? I’ll take people fucking any day of the week.

David Bowie, David Bowie, David Bowie. His voice is the epitome of this for me, and is possibly the reason why he’s my favorite singer.

“Knights in White Satin” is so fucking beautiful.

We are both animal lovers, there was no way in good conscience either of us could have let the poor thing wander around until one of the neighborhood dogs or cats picked it off. I can understand people who don’t really like animals; I can’t understand those who treat them as disposable.

My current neighbors are the same way. Years ago my husband and I noticed a white (obviously domestic) rabbit running around their front yard. We knew their teenage daughter had a rabbit, so we knocked on the front door to let them know. The mother answered and told us, “Oh, we let her go. My daughter didn’t want it…

I agree with you. I think a lot of Americans are lost right now-the vast majority of us are overworked, underpaid, under-employed, our government representatives don’t have our best interests in mind, and many people are one accident away from going bankrupt due to the lack of universal healthcare... there are so many…

People’s temperature preference is definitely defined by region. I’m an Ohioan and I regularly travel to Florida in late September/early October. I’m wearing shorts and a tank top in sunny, humid, 85 degree weather; all the native Floridians are wearing sweaters and jeans.

I’m always disgusted by how little the average person knows about the wildlife that they share this world with. I sometimes can’t handle the zoo when I hear parents tell their children, “Look at the Ostrich!” and inside I’m screaming “THAT’S A FUCKING EMU, NUMBNUTS.”

A hundred stars for the Shere Khan reference.

Grizzly Man should be seen by everyone who loves animals, as I think the compulsion to personify them is hard to resist sometimes. Yes, this wild animal may have become acclimated to you, but that doesn’t mean it won’t still fucking kill you.

NO DOUBT. It really feels like so many of this country’s hang ups can be traced back to those fucking Puritans.

I agree. I’m an only child, and my mom took the same approach as yours did to nudity (didn’t walk around naked all the time, but if she was walking from the bathroom to her closet to put on a bra, didn’t bother to cover up). In retrospect I’m thankful for it. Who knows how big of a complex I’d have if the boobs I saw…

I’m dying to see this, unfortunately the closest place it’s playing is a little indie theater an hour away. Yet I bet all the theaters near me have 20 fucking showings of “Ted 2.”

Hold up - Jon Snow AND Jaqen H’ghar on the same flight?! Stewardess, please fix me a sandwich!

It’s funny that you mention Linda Hamilton. I’ve always been amazed that they let her run around without a bra on in “Terminator 2” when her boobs were less than perfect (NORMAL looking, of course, but not movie actress high, full and perky). You will NOT see a woman’s boobs in Hollywood nowadays unless they fit the…

ROFL, no doubt. While I’m not in favor of the current trend of doctors pushing C-sections for everyone, not every woman can get away with a midwife and a bathtub. For some women birth will always be risky and should only take place in a hospital, and no woman should be made to feel bad for that.
