Ok woah. Nothing in your original post indicated you were Native American, so I don’t know how I was supposed to know that. A friend of mine is Native American and it drives her crazy when non Natives say people/things are their “spirit animals”. I’m part of a culture that tends to get appropriated frequently so I…

Sorry to disappoint, but I’ve never read Moby Dick. I’ve been meaning to get around to it for a long time! I’m a huge X-Files fan, though. Queequeg is Scully’s dog, named for Moby Dick, but it gets eaten a few eps later by a sea creature :( It stuck in my mind because a similar thing happened in my family a couple…

What’s wrong with Jenna Marbles?

Please stop. Spirit animals are part of many Native American tribes’ spiritual traditions. If you wouldn’t wear a headdress, don’t say spirit animal.

I think I have a strong aversion to it because I only hear “females” in negative, anti-feminist contexts. On the rare occasion I bother to correct people, I tell them it bugs me because it’s grammatically incorrect, but of course that’s not true. Just FYI.

Right back atcha! Are you an X-Files fan or Moby Dick or both? :)

I watched all of Dawson’s Creek over the summer and absolutely loved it. I can link you if you want. Also the Lying Game was pretty good but I stopped watching after the 1st season for reasons unrelated to its quality :)

I think you meant to reply to sparkalipoo? But it’s debatable whether Armenians are Caucasian. And I’ve been informed that Kylie is not actually Armenian so my original statement is wrong.

Maybe, but take Rihanna for example. She clearly does not give a shit, and that’s part of her brand. Her videos and songs are unapologetically about sex and other inappropriate things, and she is often wasted at shows. If she had come into the public eye looking like a girl-next-door with a guitar singing country…

Call me cynical, but it’s all part of the brand. If people didn’t perceive TSwift to be a super nice person, fan support would wane. So much of her appeal is being the sweet “girl-next-door.”

The insanity defense is used in less than 1% of all cases and the success rate is pretty low-I think about 25%? I think you’re severely underestimating the amount of mentally ill inmates.

Rookie mistake. He should’ve gotten it out of his system before he turned 18 and had to face adult consequences.

You’re just jealous

First of all, ew. Second of all, ew. Third of all, nope. She was only 14 at the time and he was at least 17, maybe older. She dated the guy who played Cook.

This is the only time I love living in Iowa. Martin O’Malley came to my tiny town a few days ago and this week I get to meet Bernie Sanders. I saw Rand Paul speak not too long ago as well. I could meet a lot more candidates if I ever drove the hour to Des Moines but regardless it’s pretty cool!

Did you feel like you had mostly dealt with your trauma by the time you underwent EMDR therapy? I kind of want to try it just based off your comment but my psychological scars have pretty much scabbed over and I’m worried it’s too late.

I had nothing but good experiences with a Montessori school, but this is purely anecdotal. I think this was when we lived in Santa Monica? I really appreciated how they gave the kids a lot of freedom and tons of different activities, including-get this-a coffee grinder. I have fond memories of the staff and the…

She has Lyme disease

Thank you for bringing this into my life. I’m curious about the sequel!

1) I think he’s definitely famous enough to get a wax figure (sidenote: i LOVE wax museums for whatever reason) and 2) his wax figure looks like his much hotter but similar looking brother
