I think I'll stick with my Zanarkand Abes T-shirt.

Combining two of the most awesome things about growing up in the 80s, I had some 'choose your own adventure' books, but you were playing as Jem, from Jem and Holograms!

@The Faery Goth Mother: Same here! I'm 30 and my mom still refers to it as my 'witchy-poo' stuff like I'm just some eclectic with a penchant toward Halloween decorations in July or something. She remains convinced I will grow out of it as soon as I 'grow up,' which will happen whenever I reach some mythical place of…

@the.babe.wore.red: I've actually been in a similar spot with my best friend who now has 3 kids and a whiny partner who I can only barely stand. (He's a former roommate of mine, so he gets on my nerves quite independently of being her man.)

@stealthird: OMG, I have a situation so close to your number 2 in my life that it is scary. I have a best male friend, we've known each other since we were in middle school. He lives in a different state, but we talk on the phone all the time and every time he comes in town, we spend time together. I recently found…

@ManicPixieNightmare: This is why I always read the books where Nancy hooked up with Frank Hardy instead of the ones with boring old Ned. Unfortunately, a hot young amateur detective never showed up on my doorstep so something must be wrong with this logic!

A lot of people seem confused by this being addressed to the girlfriends of these patrons, but given what she says about the nice client who tipped when she was onstage, I thought perhaps she was drawing parallels between how a guy acts at a strip club and how he treats his wife/girlfriend. Like, this guy treated me…

@Weatherwax:

My parents have done this since '89 and seem to have no desire to change anything, despite the fact that my dad has lived with his girlfriend for 10+ years.

@colormeroutine: I assure you it happens, and, from my own experience, it was the larger-but-less-large-than-me type that were guilty of it. There was this one girl that treated me like that. I was always the "fattest" one, I was always the one who was too fat to buy clothes wherever she shopped (while she could…

@electrogeek77: I hear you on that! It's taken me a year just to find dresses that are nice enough, big enough and then actually fit me correctly to look 'tailored' enough to pass as business clothes. Luckily, I work in a place (right now) where I can wear jeans or my boho skirt and T-shirts everyday, but I have my…

I saw this on Wednesday and I really liked it, especially every scene in it with Nic Cage. I am not so sold on Jay Baruchel; every time Cage wasn't with him in the scene, I was bored to tears.

I actually signed up for my netflix account for the express purpose of watching (in my mom's case, re-watching) all 1200 episodes of the original Dark Shadows. I'm proud to say it only took three years but we did it.

@lawrencesmith9: There were rumors that they once wanted Matt Bomer (aka Bryce Larkin from Chuck) for the Superman reboot before Singer came on to the project and cast Routh.

I voted no, although I think it's easier when it's an agnostic and (fill in a religion here), than it would be with two persons of different religions, especially if they are both fairly devout. I have a good male friend people have jokingly insinuated I should look at as a prospective romantic partner and, before any…

I love days when enough porn-related stuff pops up on Jezebel I can actually pretend that I'm reading it for work-related reasons!

@hughman: They made film out of the Yukio Mishima novel? How did I not know that?!?

Brad did what all dreamboats do after high school — the actor, Dan Gauthier, went on to star on One Live to Live, where I still refer to him as Brad, no matter how many years he plays Kevin Buchanan.
