@stellarcourtney: Yeah me too. But in my case, Courtney was an upgrade from Blair (sorry to any Blairs—but she was the snobby girl on that TV show that I was never allowed to watch).

Now I am really paranoid that all of these posts were written by people who know me. Except I don't have a neck piercing.

@tomboygirl: No—lived in NY for years—am back in Chicago. Happened this morning (who looks happy and/or horny at 7 am?) and all the time here.

I'm already at work on a muggy Saturday and didn't think this day was going to get worse. Maura Kelly, if we were friends I would get you drunk, make you eat half a pizza, and talk like a human.

@bowleserised: It's a term first used by M.L. Rosenthal in a review of Robert Lowell's "Life Studies" (awesome poems!) and in the review, Rosenthal argues that poets had used their own lives as fodder for their work before, but Lowell had removed the mask (or something—it definitely involved a mask).

@HarpMadness: Me too re: epiphany...now when I feel like that, I just go to the gym. Endorphins!

Sadly, this sounds like it could have come from the guy I am sort of whatever. Except that dappled crap.

I got Aetna to cover physical therapy for my computer-related back, neck, and totally numb right arm issues. Basically, my physical therapy is a huge, hard massage twice a week.

@EkaterinaBallerina: I got my insurance to pay for twice-weekly physical therapy, which is basically one huge, intense massage of my neck and shoulders. The problem? I do not have time to go. But everyone should look into it—employers should take this really seriously, because pain = time lost, etc.

Why didn't Alice Hoffman Twitterant at her?

Okay, this is messed up: a friend works for a major newspaper. He was the (only) person they had in the entire continent of South America; for awhile, he was also in Mexico for swine flu. They just moved him to Pakistan, because the paper only had one person covering Pakistan/Afghanistan/Taliban. I was like, What…

@ASmallTurnip: I feel like other South American countries will retain that crown...like Colombia...

@Rosaxé: Yep, I was living there then, first bloody protestors in my short and protected life. Everything was a dollar, or less. The homeless people were multi-lingual. I spent all my time in the Recoleta Cemetary. Banks were barricaded up with metal. It was craziness.

@thePrototype: under RICO—could take all their money away—this has been attempted against the Catholic Church for rampant pedophilia cover-ups, I think. (I have many lawyers in my life, tho not a lawyer.)

@alibabathieves: Some of his points are legit...but he did it crazytown. And he's old enough to be his own idiot now, psyche problems or not.

@momentsofabsurdity: I don't know you, but I would have helped you.

@marvel girl: yeah, he's such a good creative writer, he's like, above the law! Or, not.

Who is tried and convicted within days of a crime occurring? Does this man also not understand...time?

@skahammer: Well, not for me—the death penalty is way too flawed to exist. But he should have to volunteer with foster kids, or have to hold crack babies, or something. Be a human shield for people walking in and out of Planned Parenthood!

@AFever: I'm pretty sure I found her address online. Peaceful protest in the Chicagoland area, anyone?
