aaaand now I want doughnuts.

I can't stand milk and never ever drink it or have it in anything, but I do lurrrve my cheese a terrifying (and delicious) amount. We have a theory!

Sure, cats are manipulative, but they're so fluffy and adorable! How could you begrudge them a little manipulation?

I suddenly find myself even more attracted to David Tennant... interestingly, this doesn't bother me in the slightest :D

Sorry about that, issues with science. But I totally get your point also. Try explaining to any woman (and a lot of men) that this is breaking new research and prepare for a massive barrage of sarcasm!

interestingly, my boobs have grown at least one cup size since I started my degree in Scotland. Maybe this is not a coincedence.....

I agree; I had a very sheltered (practically no exposure to media, for example) upbringing, and so did my sister. Admittably, I think it affected her more than me (and her being my little sister, I'm far more mad about that); but seeing these kind of images really can help counter the "you should be naturally perfect…

I have had many discussions with my sister about how badly we both wish we had freckles; i think it's one of the few "beauty" things we both agree wholeheartedly on. Not to mention, I saw one of my friends(/make-out buddy) under UV lights for the first time a short while ago, and although he's very pale and ginger…

I may be a bad person, but by god did I laugh at this. I blame the animal rights-devoted carnivore dichotomy.

I don't know anything about Canada, or Canadian politics, but I think a lot of people (particularly liberals) in the UK are a little on edge at the moment, and it was definitely tentative to say the least last year. Having a Conservative government was not the greatest, and even though there's now been (for example) a…

Actually, that isn't evidence against Newton's laws because there are other forces acting on the ball: if there weren't, it would continue indefinitely.

Oh God me too! He's so smooth... if there ever was an argument for me to leave the UK and emigrate to the US, Obama is it.

I love this; it's what I spend my life trying to tell several of my (amazing) friends who just don't have the self-esteem they should.

hearted.

I just think it's a bit pointless to take the chance. Admittably with that my reaction was mostly just annoyance with my friend not protecting herself because obviously if my best friend got cancer I'd be fairly devastated, but I reckon if you can vaccinate against any strain and you aren't likely to get any side…

If there's no nutrition in it the lack of calories wouldn't necessarily rule ou tanorexia. although it does sound unlikely, specifically since there's no mention of aversion to food. Idk, either it sounds like she was just incredibly unhealthy :(

it annoys the heck out of me when people refuse vaccinations for non-actual reasons. We started getting the free HPV vaccine when I was in my last year of school - bearing in mind it vaccinated against fewer strains than the US vaccines purely because of the media scaremongering about people becoming ill, which from…

I couldn't agree more. I never had an eating disorder, but I went through a period of very disordered eating and the thoughts I was already having were completely enabled by these sites encouraging such things and portraying extreme versions of thin ideals. Having the odd week where I would eat barely 800cal in 5 days…

I think it's an English middle class thing (having been brought up in it myself XP) There seems to be quite the culture among certain people whereby moving to France to live in the countryside is like the ultimate aim in middle class sophistication. The paper my parents buy always has at least one regular column by…

but hey, a big room and a posh dress. i mean, isn't that what true love's about? right? right?
