@NefariousNewt: I really, really hope it happened at this point in the the song and someone puts it on YouTube.

@NefariousNewt: Oh, how I laughed. And then felt bad for laughing. And then laughed some more.

I have what I consider to be the mother of all scars - over a foot of sinuous, pink snake winding down my torso, around my bellybutton and settling just north of my crotch. This came from a horrifying emergency surgery where I had (again) the mother of all cysts removed from my body.

The best part of the whole ordeal was Katt Williams' reaction on the phone . . . "That shit is gold!"

I like my compliments to be punctuated by a forceful ass groping, but maybe that's just the traditionalist in me talking.

@BytheSea: Hello, me. I'm such an empathetic mess I soak up other people's emotions and expectations like a sponge. I have spent my life questioning peoples' motives and intentions based on the tiniest of signals . . . and I'm a neurotic weirdo (but a really good friend) because of it.

@NefariousNewt: GAH it pisses me off when my guy even tries to START that debate. Once you get to Reagan-era nutrition rules, you've gone too far.

The club is right next to this restaurant that has the best empanadas in the world. I feel too weird to go there now . . . I can see the spot where she was attacked from where I usually sit. :(

@Bunson.: I have the same ick factor about the commercials. It's like everyone is paired up according to who they are "supposed" to be with. Some of them even have similar features - it's weird.

She looks like she's gonna snap a tendon in her face if she keeps her eyebrows up like that.

My older brother used to be the golden child. Now I am, for some reason. This results in lots of phone calls and surprise visits, even though she lives 500 FREAKING MILES AWAY. This is not a good thing.

Um, can we please talk about Cate's choice of "favorite food"? MUESLI? A BOWL OF RICE? Are you kidding, lady?

"This study indicates that all women deserve diligence in counseling on unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease prevention, regardless of body mass index"

Never *seen* anything, but I've *sensed* something. I've never knew my grandmother (she died when I was an infant) but I still have this strong impression of her energy. When I was 16 or so, I was writing something about her in the backyard, when I suddenly had this sense that she was sitting with me. I just…

The first (and possibly last) time I've ever felt bad for Betty. But I liked her plan of action . . . smoke, drink, screw and theeeen you can go be a mommy.

Goofy commercial, icky commercial . . . but the damn thing works.

I'm just pleased piggery is an actual word!

Also . . . I'm taking an adolescent lit class and the reading list is stuff like Speak, Tigereyes, Stargirl and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. What an awesome class.

I'm a soon-to-be high school English teacher and I keep a list of books to buy and think about incorporating into a class. In the Time of the Butterflies is now on the list . . . come to think of it, most of the books on the list are Jezebel-derived recommendations.

@Topsyjane: I stared at your comment for a good minute wondering "she called her a cock-fucker? why cock-fucker? when did that happen?"
