"I don't care about your diet" should be a poster, and it should be posted everywhere (but especially workplaces).

The fucking Fitbit*. Buy them a Fitbit and one of those $$$ juice cleanses because someone who believes in "toxins" needs to know how many times they have swung their arm today.

It WAS like a romance novel! We got caught in the thunderstorm walking back to his place, took off our clothes to let them dry, one thing led to another...it was nice.

German man in a rainstorm sounds like the stuff of romance novels! Well done.

My first kiss has been married to his lovely husband for 10 years now. Granted, we are old enough that no one even thought being out in high school was possible, especially not for nice Catholic kids like us. One of my 2 gay ex-boyfriends.

I lost my virginity to a German man during my year abroad. There was a rainstorm, I stumbled through in German to explain my thoughts, it was actually quite lovely. No regrets whatsoever.

*raises hand*

I very much believe that the best type of lie is the one that's mostly true. However, without knowing which part(s) is/are false (and to what degree), it's impossible to guess what actually happened that day. Even if you limit yourself to mixing & matching the various versions of Jay's own account, you could come up…

We haven't heard anything more about that, though... the Innocence Project people, I mean. I was wondering about it after listening to the latest episode and after seeing the stuff about his "appeal."

I honestly can't think of a plausible reason for Jay to have killed Hae that isn't as flimsy and speculative as Adnan's so-called motive (she besmirched his honor by breaking up with him).

I miss Chuck. I miss Gossip Girl, back when it was good. Such great fashion porn.

i thought we all agreed to give ed westwick a pass to do whatever he wanted if he was i character. just show up, darling, of course they'll let you in.

And I don't have any proof- just hunches and I haven't read what a lot of people have. But this is my theory- if Jay did it, it's got to do with Stephanie. The prosecution painted the Adnan/Hae relationship as dramatic and passionate, but the bits I've heard about the Jay/Stephanie relationship sound equally…

I think the flipside to this is that, 15 years down the line with all this crazy attention, there's some glimmer of hope for his family that he might actually get out. I have no idea what it would be like to be going through this as one of his family members, but, if I were to imagine myself in that situation, I…

No one else is saying he was super angry though. Even the friends who are convinced he did it don't say he was super angry. There's one diary entry where she complains about him not getting that they've broken up and she means it, which honestly sounds very teenage flouncy, not scared or intimidated - but other than…

I also thought it was insane the judge didn't see a problem with the prosecutor being in cahoots with Jay's attorney.

No matter how you look at this story, there's no happy ending coming around the corner. Poor everybody.

Jay was definitely involved. Jay definitely came up with a story to explain his involvement (believing he was likely to be arrested as he'd been caught on cameras that in fact did not exist). Jay pinned it all on Adnan because he had Adnan's car, his phone, and Hae was his ex-girlfriend so Jay could attribute a shaky…

This must be so difficult and trippy for everyone involved. To go through a trauma like this in the first place is bad enough. But to have it made a spectacle, all the details scrutinized by millions and turned into a phenomenon fifteen years down the line? I can't even imagine. It's quite different from a film or,…

no "I will do everything that is in my power to provide the police all the documents that may be relevant to these allegations"? No "I am deeply concerned and deeply sorry for the experience that this woman went through"? Fuck him and everybody else.
