That line from The Rocky Horror Picture Show finally makes sense.

Duct tape was effective as hell, but definitely not a great option longer than a few hours. First off, it'll peel off your top layer of skin, because it pulls when you move, and those things end up like water blisters across the edges of where you tape. They leave weird scars. Secondly, when you take the tape off,…

I can see where this person is coming from, in that most people want someone to find them attractive at some point in time, and many of us worry that it won't happen the way we want it to. When you're 13 or 14, you generally don't have much experience, and so, a lot of people look to the media and older…

This is why I always encourage people to dress however they want. Any "trend" that looks good now will probably look silly in the future, so who cares? Don't we all look back on what we used to wear and laugh a little? Be trendy and stylish, if that's your thing, but if it's not, do whatever you like. Wear your…

Me too. The biggest barrier before was money (and if I'm being honest, it kinda still is). Gothiness is expensive shit if you don't want to have the cheapest-looking plastic shit ever.

Visiting a place for a few days, weeks, or even months doesn't really give you the authority to speak for them, either. Traveling is a surface thing most of the time. You see some nice (and sometimes not-so-nice) sights, talk to some people, and of course, you're exposed to new ideas and you learn, but there's no…

I'm not quite 30 (but I will be in about a year), but I've moved a few times,and I have no kids and no plans to have kids, so here's what's worked for me!

Sadly, it broke. She stopped singing entirely, and I couldn't find anyone that could fix it (and I tried for years!). I think the clock might be somewhere in my mom's basement now. So sad!

I am curious as to who is looking in my closet, why they don't know my personality already, and if they don't, why did they think the closet was the best place to find it?

Not where I live! Tracksuits are definitely still quite common, and ratty jeans with hoodies are everywhere.

That's pretty terrible. What is it even doing?

I have been trying to find ways to vent about a friend that I do care about a lot, but has been riding my last nerve, without resorting to this structure.

Haha, not at all! Honestly, nothing at all changed that I noticed. Periods stayed the same, moods stayed the same, and all that I have is a small scar in my navel and along the top of my pubic hair line. I'm very happy with the procedure.

I got mine done about 5 years ago, when I was 23. I'd be happy to try to answer any questions you have! For the record, I was in a very conservative state in the US, so experiences vary and all, but I'm very happy about the whole damn thing.

Honestly, it's because it's quite hard to tell who's introverted or shy and who just plain doesn't like you. The signs look very similar, and especially on first meeting, it can be tough to read it correctly.

Definitely. I mean, by all accounts, Nimoy was kind and generous, understanding and encouraging, and was open to support people and fans of all stripes. I'd say that's about as Christlike behavior as one could ask for, really.

I really like it when a place has signage that suggests what to do. Lots of places do allow you to seat yourself, especially when it's casual or small, but I've worked in restaurants and know that it can be a huge pain. Each place knows their own rules, and thinks that their way is the most sensible, so I always…

This is me every day, I tell them:

That's a terrible burden to bear. I'm sorry that you feel like you have to keep that to yourself to protect your mother. I hope you have someone, somewhere, that you can talk about something like that with, because you shouldn't have to face it alone.

I'm sorry to hear it either way. Kids/teenagers don't get to pick who they live with, generally, so they sort of just have to do the best they can with what they have., and that shit can last long after you're out of the house (I have topics that I just won't talk about with my mom, because zero good things come from…
