@TyLiPink: I wish I could get a high five when I went to the OB-GYN! Mine is totally incredulous or when the university nurse asks me if I'm sexually active and I say, "No, I'm not." They don't believe me (I'm 29 and so I guess they think I'm in denial/an idiot). I finally just started saying, "Unless it's time for…

@horsenpony: Amen. I put them in the same category as the 9/11 Hijackers as not Muslim, just raging assholes.

These people are an embarrassment to Christianity.

@labeled: CRAZY AUNT KANYE: I want to cross stitch that into a throw pillow or a sampler or something so it's preserved for eternity.

@McBroken: Ah! Thank you!!! :)

This is the kind of stuff, where, as an Americanist and an Islamicist, I have to resist the urge to start screaming. The next time someone says that Iraq, Afghanistan, and most notably, Pakistan, have difficulties with democracy, I want to bookmark this incident and refer them to this slaughter. I'm glad to see that…

This entire show was so contrived it sort of undid itself, which, in the realm of reality television, is quite an accomplishment... possibly her greatest one thus far.

Incredible!!! That really is a gift from God. Oh I hope he gets a break and two years clean, bravo!

I still don't get what this kid's appeal is or how it could drive tweens to murderous fits of Tweet-rage.

I live next to a law school and I always joke that I want to go do my work over there at their library so I can land a husband. Too bad there are no jobs for lawyers or professors right now, so a joke it remains.

Are there really three "n"'s in her name?

A colleague of mine found this ridiculous. To my eating-disordered mind it made pretty decent sense, but I was willing to go along with his seemingly more rational opinion, until I saw one of my friends explicitly cite "Black Swan" as her inspiration for losing weight and going on a 10-day fast in the New Year...…

@BuffyBot: Yeah the sad part is that I played "Phase 10" last night and ate chicken in my friend's living room and I was still disappointed.

Is it just me or does anyone else expect so much more every year than New Year's Eve/Day actually delivers? I really need to make "Significantly lower expectations for New Year's Eve" one of my New Year's Resolutions for 2011.

@LadyChatterley: hahahaha I loved this!!! Today alone I had some guy think that my name was "Wanda" when I told him "Alexandra." HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN??? Then someone else thought he was so clever when I started to spell my name and he guessed, "Alexandria!" Fail. Biggest.Pet.Peeve.EVER. is the "Alexander"/"Alexandria"…

@badmutha: Aww! Thank you, sweetness! I'm ready for 2011! Now I just have weird post-migraine cravings... hmm... Happy New Year! :)

Last night I went to bed with a sinus headache, dreamed I had a migraine, and then (surprise!) woke-up with a migraine.

I saw something like this yesterday when I was looking for a picture of Hello Kitty. Someone had done the same thing only with Hello Kitty and it's part of some kind of (new, I assume?) phenomenon with scar tattooing.

@clairedeloony: I use "Alix" and "Ali." I'm also an Islamicist, so I went back to "Alix" permanently so as to not confuse people across two cultural divides.

@the.babe.wore.red: I always got that people named "AlexandrIA" were *more* feminine than the *regular" Alexandra's. I never liked my full name until I got older. I shortened it and leave it shortened now because I think it's more sophisticated and I think that screws-up this whole gender thing even more. However, I…
