Blood isn’t gross. Millions of people watch tv and movies that show blood every day. We are quite accustomed to looking at other people’s blood. Y’all are full of shit. 

Thanks for this. This was a large part of why I love the show so much as well. I’ve never seen mental illness portrayed in media so relatably. Your thoughts on how people say his name are interesting to me.  I don’t have bipolar, but I do have identity issues, and saying people’s names and having them say mine is a…

I would say we’re geeks.  The actual nerds are the ones on Jeopardy, who know almost everything *except* the geeky shit.  There’s only so much time in a day, and apparently they don’t have time between studying for Jeopardy to watch popular movies. ;)

Surely you mean abdicate?  Abscond means to take off with it, which doesn’t make sense in that context.

Oh, poor Robin Thicke, suffering because he wrote a shitty song about abusing women.  Oh wait.  That isn’t even what he’s suffering for.  Whatever.  If this is his attitude toward women, he can have all the suffering.

This is where Weird Al comes in handy.  Listen to his Word Crimes and learn the words to that, and you can replace the shitty abusive lyrics from the one with the humorous and educational lyrics from the other in your head and enjoy your earworms.

The “human size cross bow” is a ballista, which was invented possibly as early as 400BC.  Rapid fire, no.  Human size, yes.  

If we’re going to be that nitpicky, remember that they advertised to bring in men who were already infected.  So, they didn’t actually infect ANY men.  They simply promised a cure to already infected men, and then failed to deliver to some of them.  So, yeah, if there was a plot to infect anyone, it was the sexual…

I mean, yeah, it kind of sucks, living right up against richness when you are poor, but seriously, what do people expect? You think there isn't going to be a difference between thousand dollar a month housing and million dollar housing? A monstrous, mind-boggling difference? I fail to understand the confusion.

Man, this rivalry needs to die already. All star movies are excellent, and I am glad the cover of a national newspaper is loaded with them. Heck with the stupid rivalry. I have loved both franchises my whole life and also frequently say the wrong name for either one. AND I like to wear my star wants shirts with my…

Because if they wanted to show that, it obviously had to be the woman who spoke only the foreign language. They couldn't possibly have achieved the exact same message with an English woman and a foreign man. Right. Sorry. Forgot.

Why do you feel you have to explain? Let them stew in their assumptions and self-imposed stress.

I have paragard, and nearly no cramps. Possibly longer periods, but I am also in perimenopause, so it’s hard to tell which is causing it. I always had awful cramps, but lately, nearly nothing. *shrug*

My tuxedo kitty is Bijoux, not named by me. I found her in the rain, in a puddle just outside a fence through which 3 pit bulls were straining for her. She was just out of their reach, but puddle! And rain! And mean dogs! So I got out of my vehicle and grabbed her up and wrapped her in my jacket. When I got to work, I…

Vandykes are good. Actually, shy of 80s handlebar mustaches, I like most forms of facial hair, which is why I spoke so generally before. My love wears a long goatee, but I also like full beards, long or trimmed.

I am all about facial hair. I kind of don’t care much about head hair—although if there is any, I prefer it NOT conservatively short. Bald has been an acquired taste—not least because i am dating a guy who shaves his head. I have learned from him to enjoy the various states of it, too. Freshly shaven has a lovely soft…

I hope they evened out the writing a lot. It was so painful to read: gorgeous, rich prose interspersed with the scribblings of a twelve year old. On the other hand, after a chapter, I was inspired to throw the damned thing away and just finally get around to reading Pride and Prejudice. THAT was one of my best…

Yes. I have found I no longer believe in monogamy at all. 50% of couples experience cheating? 50% divorce rate? And there must be some overlap. So, even couples that stay together are experiencing cheating. So well more than half of marriages/committed relationships either end or involve another person anyway. And how…

Modern dating is full of unique challenges. As I started dating the guy i am currently seeing, I have also been upgrading my social life in general. We live in a smallish town, and a lot of the interesting people I want to socialize with run in similar, at least, circles to him. And I met him at a shared hobby. All of…

Dean, from supernatural, of course. I hated him for so long, because he’s a misogynist, alcoholic prick. Whom I am completely in love with. *sigh*
