I'm kind of bummed about Penny's. It was my mom's go-to store when I was kid, but when I got older it was always out of date and poorly lit, and I stopped shopping there probably as soon as I could afford to buy my own clothes. But I wandered back in after their redesign and I've been really happy with them. When I…

I don’t go for black guys.

I feel irrationally connected to Sara Gilbert, based solely on the fact that we're the same age and when I was in high school, inevitably the day after a Roseanne episode aired, I'd be stopped in the halls a dozen times so people could tell me how much Darlene reminded them of me. We're clearly kindred spirits since…

Back in the early 90s, I was friends with the writer who ghost-wrote Courtney Love's bio. Apparently, that was a bit of a nightmarish experience. I imagine that being stuck with Cat's book would be the same sort of thing, but with less legitimate reasons to be famous.

Seriously. Lowest internet common denominator, sometimes.

Look, I've got no problem with people needing to cut their teeth somewhere. But on such a widely read blog seems... strange.

I feel really bad for whoever they con into ghostwriting this baby. Cause there's nothing Cat has said or done that makes me believe she can sit down and bang out a whole book.

Do you really think she's an insanely talented writer? I'd describe her as a competent writer who happens to get to sprinkle her pieces with stories about her 'glamourous' drug addiction and/or how this addiction is affecting people around her.

I would guess that the people posting assume its a nanny if the age or race doesn't seem to 'match' the child's.

They do. Some of them even get book deals out of it: http://www.amazon.com/The-Nanny-Diar…

Obviously you've found the lesbian shitass of the group.

To me, the most rage inducing fake apology is the 'Sorry, I'm not sorry' phrase, when its used after saying something legitimately offensive. (Not in the 'I just ate a whole cake, sorry I'm not sorry' funny way.) Its like a red haze descends over me when I hear it.

Thank you for this. What a wonderful and generous idea.

Thanks!

I suppose that's true, but I generally find that the kind of person that would speak that nastily behind a friend's back is not the kind of person who would have had that conversation in front of someone they might think would call them out on it.

Like a lot of people, my weight's been all over the place — I've been skinny, I've been fat, I've been really fat, and just a bit chubby. I recently lost a significant amount of weight — I guess I'm into the chubby territory. I mention this, because like Alana's story, it figures into the following incident:

Not just you!
