That story about the woman who got doused with red wine? I had a similar experience and similarly laughed it off. As a server was setting a nice large martini (with a lemon twist, not an olive) in front of me his hand trembled for some reason and the whole thing went down the front of my shirt. The look of horror on…

Once, an 8-top of Christians left one of those “Here’s a Tip for You!” pamphlets on my table, in lieu of a cash tip. I was sort of used to this, so I didn’t remark much, just tossed it into the bus tub with the rest of the debris, and a glower.

I’m currently in the middle of my re-read for book 5, and I think they’re doing a good job with Stannis, to be honest. In fact, I think he comes off as actually more human in the show.

I just checked out the collection on target dot com, and I don’t get it. It’s all tacky-floral old lady resort wear. Who would wear this shit?

I would have brought all the tribes together and said, "Hey guys, great news. The Crows are going to let us all pass through the wall unharmed and we can live beyond the Wall safe from the White Walkers for as long as we want. They will give us a huge swath of land called 'The Gift' to settle and farm. All we have to…

I loved it when Tyrion threw up, and then poured more wine without even missing a beat. That was awesome.

"You didn't have to stuff your shit through an air hole."

Arrested Development. I have no idea how people got all the calls back and forward and subtle jokes while watching one episode a week instead of a bundle at a time.

About seven years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I was lucky in that it was fairly isolated so they just chopped that sucker out, but I was devastated by the treatments. Just.. so so sick. An old friend of mine (we'd shared a really shitty apt in NYC in my early 20s and during this time she and I had had a…

My husband of three years started watching My Little Pony. And I was like...okay. Whatever. That's fine. Until he started verging into brony territory. And then I got a bit concerned.

Though I've never been cheated on, my mother cheated on my father while she was in college. He was working multiple jobs (several hours away from campus) to help put her through school and one night, after she had said she was missing him all week, he decided to surprise her with flowers. He drove down after work…

I've told this story before here. But.

"Sorcia, I'm in love with your best friend [a dude with a hilariously ridiculous name that I cannot post here]. We're moving to Virginia and I hope you'll be happy for us."

My (now ex) fiancé and I had a somewhat long-distance relationship. I worked an a city 3 hours from the small town we lived in, so I would stay with friends or my parents while I worked my 4 days on, and go home on my days off. Things were never "good" when I was at home, but anyone can tolerate each other for 4-5…

I had to take my mother to the emergency room while I was visiting her one weekend. I ended up staying for several days because she was super sick and my dad is basically incapable of caring for a houseplant, let alone a human. When I got back to my apartment I shared with my ex, the place was totally trashed and he…

Pfft, I've been shortsighted for 32 years now, and you're telling me I suddenly have to contend with a bunch of bandwagon jumpers? Right, that's it, I quit. It's just not cool anymore

This is a story of how one of the worst days of my life ended up reaffirming my faith in strangers and in the human race in general.

I like that this was still a 3 star review for this guy. What does one star look like??

Things I have learned:

Can't wait!!
