God, I wonder if any of us got through childhood without some inappropriate behaviour from an adult man. I’m sorry you had to go through that, and if it helps, I’ve had conversations with my friend where we discussed all of the times when adult men touched us or showed us parts of their bodies, and dear fucking lord

I wish humans had evolved from canines instead of primates so we had a tail we could wag when we were happy.

I had a guy I liked over to my apartment for the first time. We’d had some wine and one of those conversations where things keep clicking and you get super intellectually turned on, which turns into regular turned on and you just want to devour the person.

This is still embarrassing. In 5th grade I’d under-dressed for a day that turned rainy. As I went to leave, my very nice teacher looked at me and the rain in concern and offered me his denim jacket for my walk home. I gratefully took it mostly because I had a bit of a kid crush on him. Did this kid crush lead me to

Oh, easy. Wet my pants in fourth grade.

Sooooooo many.

I was standing against the wall at the roller rink with all my grade school friends when the couples skate was announced. A cute guy named Brian from the grade above us came to a stop in front of me and held out his hand. I was elated and grabbed for his hand. As we skated away, I heard my friend Sara say, “Snow, what

Ugggghhh.

*looks back at life*

Oh. Well. In my early 20's and in my first serious relationship. My beloved and I decided to patronize the movie picture show one evening. We got there just as the lights dimmed and previews fired up. My lady fair then requested popcorn and soda so I beat feet to the concession counter to find a line. Ugh. I HATED

Good evening, everyone. I’m here tonight looking for advice. I’ll start with the text that my wife and I got from our daughter last Sunday. Fwiw, she’s in her first year of college and she’s about five hours away from us.

Isn’t that the whole point of a toga party?! (I’ve never been to one, so I wouldn’t know.)

I almost never wear underwear. My friend I was doing a slutty schoolgirls costume with decided my skirt needed to be cut MUCH shorter. The bathroom at the party we went to was upstairs.

Strapped for cash as a university student, I figured I nailed the economical-but-fun genre by deciding to go as a bag of leaves. It was seasonal and appropriate! I would be cute! The maples behind my residence provided the required foliage, garbage bags were around for the taking and I added newspaper for stuffing. I

I grew up poor so our Halloween costumes were always homemade. When I was in 3rd grade, I wanted to be a ninja, but the best we could pull off was red sweatpants, a red sweatshirt, and a red t-shirt somehow wrapped around my head with the neck hole over my face to make the ninja mask.

Always a thrill to see an article about the Ridley Scott Superbowl commercial.

I also thought about the hundreds of thousands of people across our country who have been impacted by this illness

Keep in mind he’s at an Army hospital and all the doctors are active-duty officers. So if the CIC says he wants to leave his room and go for a limo ride, they’re not exactly going to sedate him to keep him in his bed.

I’m moving to Panama in twelve days, kittens! Our apartment in the mountains is so pretty and filled with sunshine! And we’re gonna watch Krampus tonight!

My play’s run ended last week. It was fantastic - great cast, awesome director, just a whole lot of fun overall.
