Belated happy birthday! I've just started a pretty strict diet, so thank you for the inspiration!

On a diet. Given up carbs. Bought many, many expensive Teavana teas, and all the vegetables T&T could sell me. Three days in and already flushed a few pounds out, but staying strong is hard. :\

No, it doesn't work. :( :( :(

Honestly, I was so tempted to tell the guy she was fighting off a bad herpes outbreak...but no. I told him that she was poly and smart and great and he still said he wasn't going to go for it.

Why am I in the greys? Is it because I said Beyonce was my F, not my M, and that Rihanna was my K?

See, now, I wish she was unaware. But she's ~exotic~ and works part-time as a fetish model and is one of those—she'd be a Manic Pixie Dream Girl if she actually indulged men's bullshit. She only goes two weeks without having three lovers, and always has two, guaranteed.

She knows. She encourages me to get out there,…

Does anyone else have a friend who's way more beautiful than they are? I keep going out with her and every man comes up to me to ask about her, how do I handle it? Battery acid?

I was dining at the same restaurant as Sir Ian McKellen in January 06. My father's a lawyer, and he'd done some work for Lloyd's, the insurance house, and we'd gotten a 250 pound gift certificate.

Mostly only weird because the next night we went to see him in the Christmas pantomime and he was the dame. HE HAS THE BEST…

You've probably got the right outsides for them. As a 12 on a good day, I definitely have to refrain from chiming in with things I know, let men be wrong, all that sort of nonsense if I want to get laid.

My mom literally just bought one pair of overalls and wore one of my dad's button-up shirts beneath. 80s pregnancy, everyone.

Ponderosa Cake. It's a dessert they make at my old alma mater, and it's a fantastic cake for all occasions. Great with coffee in the morning and kids love it too. http://inmahkitchen.blogspot.ca/2013/01/ubc-po…

I make a lot of recipes for meals from the Pioneer Woman, and Joy the Baker is my favourite sweets-blog.

The movie I would've liked to have seen get an Oscar nod. Sweet, beautiful, unique, and could've stood more buzz.

My sister (who bought me the game) says that Solas is very story connected too, but I've been on Tumblr too long, dude is an egg.

If I do a guy playthrough (which I'm not likely to do, truth be told), I'm romancing Dorian.

Think of it as a good thing that this is the decision you're having a hard time making! Others…

I split the middle and went for Cullen and he's SO CUTE. GOD.

The Iron Bull was tempting, but since I was playing as blind as I could, I missed some of his flirt options, and it's really hard to tell if he's into it or not. Josie I will romance next time, I love the friendly bitchfest you get to have.

Truth is my very…

It's probably a combo of your fear and Jeteuopthemiddle's theory. You probably like them more, but deepening your connection with them is a great way to help you cope. You get the male attention without the emotional commitment. It's a win-win.

To avoid, just check yourself. Manage your time specifically. And keep a…

Her version of 'Being Alive' from that show makes me bawl.

Making casserole, finding script subjects for the webseries I write (should be wrote, WHY CAN'T I QUIT YOU) for, and trying to ignore Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Julianne Moore does an amazing job. Seeing her performance is worth it. I didn't enjoy the movie, though there were a couple scenes that were great if you like black comedy... I wouldn't rewatch it.

It's not really the worst thing I did—it's the worst thing someone did to me.

So I was going to a New Years party at a local art space with a 'friend' of mine. New Years 2008-9. She's itty-bitty, I'm bitty in a girdle. So when we get in, we pool our drink tickets and she trades me her doubles for my singles. I'm…

Hello fellow Canadians! Our country reeks of trees, our yaks are really large.

Yeah, she really did this. She's the sensible, mature older sister, who had a small private wedding and a nice dinner at her favourite restaurant afterwards. But she forbade me from wearing heels (she hates that I'm taller than she is) and then accused me of trying to upstage her when it was her decision to buy a…

Ugh, I really AM going to fight with my sister, too. She spent her wedding dinner pointing at her wedding band and sticking her tongue out at me.

And she's the older sister.

I'm the child of a stay-at-home mother and I understand what a blessing and a privilege that was. And I'm happy for any woman who can find the balance that makes her most happy.

But I'm talking about the wizarding world right now and the weird gendering of job roles therein. Women who are invested in or identified by…
