I thought that was a current photo?

Keep calm and carry on!

Aww, if I had seen that I probably would have smiled and taken a picture. I have super high anxiety and sometimes it really does help be reminded to breathe and it's really not the end of the world (even though it sometimes seems like it).

I love the term "gaslighting." Gaslight is one of my favorite Hitchcock films, and they always used the term in Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

A more accurate title would be: "Do You Secretly Want To EAT Your Lipstick," although anyone who wears lipstick ends up eating it unconsciously. Ingesting fish skin and other weird ingredients in the name of painted lips!

Sounds like the perfect job to me— though I hope Karl has more in his fridge than just diet Coke.

Some kids stole my best friend's cat, Albert Hoffman. I was LIVID. This was the cat that we found on the el train one night after a crazy party. He followed us all the way home from the el, walking alongside us like a person, and traveled with her from the east coast to Oakland. He was more than just a cat, he was…

Thank you, good luck to you as well!

Just sent an email with a plea to be hired. I've been searching for a writing internship for the longest time, and if this came my way I'd probably die!

*chortle*

I am really glad "type fart" is what you walked away with from here :)

"white people get hurt when you suggest there are things they don't get to control" Yes, I'm sure that's it!

I eat my oatmeal the same way, by bellyflopping into it. SO CUTEEEEE

Thinking just the same thing. I get anxious every time I approach a mirror, so I can't see myself using an application to tell me that my chin acne is atrocious. I already know all too well.

What difference does it make if the dude was white?

The idea that a grown-up person would think that another grown-up person believed that anyone over a C cup has implants is very silly to me, but I really am sorry that you feel like I insulted you. I'm being genuine here.

I'll try harder in the future.

Accusing me of getting riled up (i'm not) is the same as me telling you to cool your jets. Like I said, maybe I should proofread more, but I didn't insult anyone, and if you choose to read it that way then you are the silly one :)

Right, I misspoke, and you relished the opportunity to mock me for being "illogical," which if you really thought that's what I meant by my comment, you could have asked in a way that wasn't so patronizing as to prove that you really were perplexed by my misspeaking and not just jumping at the chance to correct me or…

I wrote a piece a while back on my own blog about being 26 and still not feeling like a "real grownup." I don't walk around mopey and slouchy, but when I look at other women with their high heeled redbottoms and their fancy satchels, I definitely feel like I'm still a little kid compared to them. I don't know if it's…
