I really want to admit that I would let Ben Affleck do all of the things to me in that snowy sweater with all the grey hair he’s letting into his life, but I don’t want to be shamed. *sweats nervously*

Congrats! I just bought my first home, and I had to sign the P and S on November 10th! That was stressful as fuck, because I was all like, “well, this is probably the stupidest investment anyone in middle-America can make right now.” But now that I’m in it, I’m all like “I’m a homeowner bitches, I own part of this

I’m genuinely getting worried about the prospect of violence. There is obviously a war going on within at least the intelligence community, right now, and more shit is going to come out that will show the election was compromised. In an election decided by fewer than 80,000 between three states, any little thing could

i’m trying to buy a house right now.

We’ll get through this. We just can’t let this become “normal.” We have to use this time to take a hard look at how ugly this country can be and fix it. If there is a silver lining to this, it’s that it served as a wake-up call for people (like me) who naively thought America was heading in the right direction,

My conspiracy-theory loving husband has notions about the CIA that are beginning to sound appealing right now.

It’s a very “and THIS is why you’re single” kinda deal

Honestly, my trouble in life is forgetting moments. When you are a slightly anxious person, you don’t want to read that stuff later. Soooooo embarassing.

He’s kind of sexy, and I say that as a half-Mexican who doesn’t date Mexicans.

He actually does not. And as a mexican, I am not so sure. Peña Nieto just published a video discussing the increase in fuel prices back home, and his strategy to combat economic instability is... to improve and catter to our Northern neighbors and somehow become even more servile than we already are. Average mexicans

My decades long general unease towards Angelina Jolie (the makeout session on the red carpet with her brother, the vials of blood with Billy Bob, the terrible movies, et al) has ripened into a full blown distaste.

Can geek need be a thing here please? Also can ConMan be a regular show? How many more wishes do I have? I’d like some new socks.

This is so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Mariah can eat an ice-cream cone while her vocal track plays for all I care. Our fucking democracy is dying.

Introspection typically isn’t something associated with organized religion. 

None of that would lead you to turn a blind eye to the child brides and polygamists and pedophiles claiming to practice Mormonism, either. None of that would ban you from accepting black people into your congregation until 1978.

Mormons have proven over and over they are real believers. While I think they are inherently racist, sexist and homophobic I do respect that they stick to their guns in thick and thin and that they also put in a lot of effort to make the world a better place beyond their prejudices.

Haha! Kindred spirits! I’m living at home too for various reasons. :)

Hey it’s raining here in LA too! And you should totally do it. I’m a poor, so I’d feel weird doing it. Be the jez ambassador!

She’s one of those people that are so boring that they have to acquire other people’s personalities and an obvious affectation to even seem mildly interesting. I don’t know why I hate her so much, but I seriously think she’s one of the most insufferable housewives to grace the franchise. Omg I can’t stand her and her

Omg I wish we could watch this show together!! I feel the exact same way you do about everyone!! Lisa R reminds me of Anne Hathaway. Like overly earnest and thristy, but also kind of endearing and fun? Eileen seems kind of dorky at heart, which I love. I think Erica is fabulous. Love her. Love her OTT looks and
