I was Hermione! It was super last minute but cute and semi-accurate. I own a lot of Harry Potter crap... grffindor sweater, floofy hair (as per usual), and a time-turner necklace. Also I had a book that is ACTUALLY A BOX and I kept “potions” (little skull-shaped bottles filled with whiskey) in it. Alas, I forgot to…

My name is actually Shira IRL. And I have a brother named Adam. Jus’ sayin’.

I just got back from a smal gathering of friends! It was a good time. I had good drinks and we played dumb games and laughed plenty. I was Hermione! And I had this fake book that opened up and I kept crystal skull vodka skulls in it (filled with whiskey though because I bought them and drank the vodka a long time ago)…

I am a small woman, barely over 5”2 and often referred to endearingly as “tiny” or comparatively when speaking of people one could take in a fight as “s/he was like, she-ra’s size.” But stories like the margarita one make me desperately want to start weight training and get all athletic so that I can leap over bars…

I love me some NDP, but you’re right. You don’t go from leading in the polls to losing seats like that on strategic voters alone. Also, I have to disagree with OPs assertion that no one knew anything about policies and were all just voting because “hot” or “not harper”. The only voters I talked to this election who…

This checks out

So I use a cream cleanser from The Body Shop (usually the Vitamin E one, right now I have the seaweed one but I don’t like it as much) and I find it works really well. It’s a nice cleanser, and gets rid of my makeup super easily without irritating my skin/eyes or making me feel all oily. Anyone else?

I work in an office with like six other people and we’ve had three Christinas, though only ever 2 at one time.

I’ll add to the “I’ve been a vegetarian x number of years and never done this!” comments (six years over here) but I will say that I used to work weddings, and we sometimes did this thing where we’d put out food (sandwiches, sometimes poutine because this is Canada) at around midnight or so, after everyone’s gotten…

I was mostly being facetious. I don’t really care that much about catchall terms for soda, but it will also never make sense to me (probably because I wasn’t raised in it, you’re correct). Linguistics are weird as hell, and I think that’s awesome. Also my boyfriend is from Georgia, so my anger toward southern slang is…

No it’s not!! It has a specific meaning within the realm of sodas - coke can be the catchall for COLAS, like sure, use it to mean anything from RC cola to pepsi, as long as it’s a cola flavoured soda. But soda is not just cola. 7-up’s not a kind of cola; it can’t be in the catchall of coke. No. Kleenex is catchall for…

No, man, this is not what he’s talking about. There are places in the US where coke is the catchall term for ALL pop/soda. Like they’d ask you “what kind of coke” you want and you could then say sprite.

My boyfriend is from the south and I am from very much not that (canada) and he had to explain this to me. I was so confused. We argued about it for like an hour. I still hold that it makes no sense.

There was a wasp in my swingset pole too! But it only stung my finger, because I was hanging off it.

Honestly I got the vibe that that’s exactly the thing he’s down about though? The “we have to do shit! but what am I even doing?” comment seemed like it was full of self-aware hate for exactly this thing, and also disillusionment. So, poor kid.

Fuck. I need to pay rent.

I’m dying at work, I had to attempt to explain this all to my coworkers, I’m not sure they appreciate this comedy gold enough, they are giving me strange looks.

I’m vegetarian and was raised Jewish and know what pork ribs are. There are no excuses. I will help C.A. load the sun cannon if anyone tries to come up with excuses.

I’ve been using Benefit They’re Real mascara since the last time there was a thread about mascara and it won the vote - and I love it! At first I had some trouble with it and it clumped but I figured out I had to put it on with a somewhat lighter touch than I was used to and well, one day my boyfriend turned to me and…
