I started scheduling my free time with the stuff I wanted to do. I thought of my social life as a second job. I had to WORK on it. So hanging out with friends was like scheduling meetings or client visits—instead of being passive, you end up being very active. Instead of "well I guess they didn't text me back" you…

I didn't see the movie but I've seen that scene! And it's not even wanting to want...I want you to get up and do it yourself without me having a fit first.

I submit ours as the "weirdest." You know how other people argue over who gets the TV? We are always want other person to decide. We love most of the same TV shows, plus we're gamers, so we have to choose between TV for TV, TV for game, computer game, handheld game, oh ya don't forget the comics...We always want the…

My husband used to be guilty of this. I'd ask over and over for him to do the dishes (you can't wait three days and still call it good, dude) and then I'd do them in furious anger and he'd declare he was *just* about to do it.

I had an opposite problem where I had too many dishes and silverware. We don't have a dishwasher and have to wash by hand. And if you have what feels like a hundred forks, you will always be washing a hundred forks.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

You're stalking me, right? I just spent a weekend at Comic Con picking the brains of my favorite comic book writers and artists. The best moment really plays into what you're saying here, especially the fear of failure:

I've never used those before. So I could set up an "if I get a text, then send this text back"?

How did you set up the responder? My work has the issue that even when people go on vacation, customers text their phones and there's no out of office equivalent.

You know have a total of 30 seconds of female gaze banked. Please reply with 500 million more hours to make up the difference.

I mention it because when I went to an introduction to supporting your community, about 1 out of 16 people there were men (this one time at this one place, I know don't kill me). And most of the women I know are more interested in helping people or giving back versus the men.

Do you ask what women are interested in, instead of deciding based on stereotypes? I'm not sure if it's because I'm a woman, but I'm very interested in breaking into the volunteering scene. Or becoming a better participator in politics as a citizen.

Drag queens have the best makeup tips. Just sayin'.

You touch on one of the problems—that by saying "are we appealing to women?" you're conjuring an image of what a woman is and what she is interested in. For example, I do the surveys at Survey Monkey, and they ask me, "do you read women's magazines?" And all the magazines they list are either about fashion/shoes/sex…

How about the angle of how to push yourself into fields that aren't very diverse? Or how to affect change? That could be women in tech, or men in jobs like nursing, or any race that feels a job or industry is "too white" or whatever. Neil deGrasse Tyson has a great speech about how everyone thought he was in the…

You know this makes me want chocolate now, right?

Wow, pooh v. McDonalds. Tough choice.

I was rough growing up. It wasn't "girls will be girls" it was, "call your parents, you're being suspended."

Watching how children act really opened my eyes to why some adults are the way they are.
