Technically the same with Joey Potter (except Daria of the Creek?), but neither show really captured the essence of that experience remotely as well as Daria. We were just supposed to buy that these gorgeous teen (but really 20 something) actresses were outcasts. Also, as heavy as they laid it on in the beginning,…

Brunette and even mildly sarcastic/ dry humor was enough of a qualification for you to be called Daria at least once in the 90s.

I dressed as Daria for Halloween one year, but everyone kept asking if I was Lindsay Weir from Freaks and Geeks (not a bad consolation prize at all, but still not quite Daria). I got asked a lot why Lindsay was wearing Harry Potter glasses... To which I would just sigh and walk away.

To me, Leslie/Ron and Liz/Jack kind of transcend the mentor/disciple structure, because both Ron and Jack confide in and show vulnerability to Leslie and Liz. And they both need to be rescued by their female friend on more than one occasion. But I do definitely get what you're saying. The vibe is still there. (Though…

Thanks! This is a fun distraction from real responsibility. I love and have conflicting feelings about that relationship too, but no life experience equivalent. It's really well written.

I only clicked on this story looking for this comment. Thank you!!

Sprinkles Euphrates here, but my (guy) friend Apple Cummings is my all time favorite!

Yup. Even if you reeeeally crack down on things like shoes, jewelry, watches, backpacks, etc, you can always tell the difference between a brand new uniform and a used one. Also wealthy kids get their brand new uniforms replaced faster and more often than those with less means. You can have guidelines for hair, but…

I went to Catholic school (not all girls) for a little while myself. We also had uniforms. It definitely killed any notion that uniforms remove the distraction of appearance and put everyone on an even playing field.

I'm really bad at wearing rings regularly. And while I really like jewelry, it brings me no excitement. I get why people love it, but for me it's more like cabinet hardware/drapes/crown molding... When those things are really nice in a home, the place looks nicer. And it does make me really happy when the place I live…

You just put two of the most adorable things I've ever seen together. If you added that gif of the tiny, fluffy kitten that throws its paws out, my head would explode, and my cause of death would be listed as: adorableness.

Totally! But she's, like, adorable enough that I'd keep telling her ALL the secrets. They should use this picture in interrogations.

Hahah, I like you! Nope, no agent.

I enjoy the idea I've painted in my head that the Soviet spy on a specific mission discovered something huge and unexpected. It was time sensitive with potentially epic repercussions. Of course, very few had access to it. If he was to share this information, thousand, maybe hundreds of thousands, of lives would be…

Hahaha! Love this, and you're so spot on!

What is wrong with people?! I mean, whatever, we all have opinions and personal taste, but why oh why does it even matter if I like or dislike someone else's... well pretty much anything?

That is an AWESOME idea!!! I do not have any kids nor are they in my near future, but I'm almost tempted to go get knocked up (not really, just kidding, knock on wood), because this is such a cool idea!

I have a friend (we're all mid 20s to early 30s) who occasionally throws fancy small to mid-size gatherings with various different purposes. She almost always has gift bags... with reeeeally cool (but gift bag appropriate) contents. She has a bit of money and gets a kick out of party planning stuff, so it's way more…

No idea if this is any good, but here ya go none the less:
