It causes my chest to hurt whenever I read about his problems with drugs and alcohol. I know he’s not Xander, but it feeeeels that way to me.

This is my husband. We just fought over this last night. I asked him to help me clean the kitchen, and instead he takes the garbage outside to wash it when all I really wanted was for him to pick up his crap off the dining table. When I pointed this out, he accused me of micromanaging on how things should be clean. I…

It depends on the school. I work at a high school, and the students love the animals that show up on campus. The peer pressure to love and care for the strays that show up is way too strong. If some asshat tried to be mean to one of the animals, they’d get mob justice.

The really vocal parents in that district agree with the policy though.

And Arizona is having a crisis situation with a lack of foster care homes. It’s been all over the news.

This was my school district.

I vividly remember watching a music video where a woman walks into a Snoop Dog party disgusted by how gross everything is and being put off by the dudes hitting on her, so they attacked her and humiliated her. I turned to my older cousins and asked why they did that. Their response: “That’s what stuck-up bitches get.”…

No shame, but I like the Pitbull song. Never had Fireball “whisky” but the song is a good workout song.

They also got “normal” jobs after acting and went to college. I like to think that having the same soul-sucking experience in working a mininum wage job gave them the ability to chill and turn out okay.

I’ve only had one breakup that went that way. I wouldn’t label him as the “love of my life” and I know I felt some relief when it was over, so I don’t know why it affected me so deeply except that it came at a time where a lot was changing in my life, and I wasn’t ready for that shitty relatinship to end right on top…

I’m also a teacher, and I have to explain why I use Ms. AND have kept my maiden name. I married a teacher in the school and everyone wants to know why we have two different names. The kids are generally accepting of it. The girls like the idea a little bit more than the boys, but both are really open minded. The…

I love Coco and Andy. But I have this strange feeling that Andy Richter is one dark motherfucker. Like some Apocalypse Now insanity.

But that’s bullshit too because there were two amazing teen high school movies that came out this summer that are going to be pointed as classics. Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl and Dope were insanely good.

I worked at the Gap and Gap Body in college. People liked to bang in the dressing rooms. I blamed the sushi place that offered great happy hour deals next door.

I like it. But I was a huge Ducktales fan.

I teach and read To Kill a Mockingbird with my sophomores after the big state test because it brings back all the things I love about teaching (and washes out the dirty, bitter taste of state testing). My students end up loving the novel and we hold a mock trial at the end of the unit. When they are ready to graduate…

Ugh. I hate reading about parents “publicly” disowning their children.

If you say things like, “My children are dead to me” and “Their mother turned them against me” instead of, “Their actions have really hurt me” or “I’d like our relationship to be better” then I’m not really buying your shit and neither is anyone…

I’m really good at being quiet because I lived in an apt. with seven other girls, and it used to freak me out with the idea that people “knew” I was having sex. I usually turned on the Spanish channel to drown out any potential noises but that always ended up giving me away because my roommates would hear unexpected…

My friend in college had a rule that people could have sex on the couch as long as she was free to watch. I was drunk and hooking up with someone, and sure enough she heard something and came to sit in the living room. She kept winking and smiling. It stopped me, so I always assumed it was her devious method of…

My husband was discussing the Kardashian-West family’s finances. He’s so upset that they seem to have a crappy financial advisor who is letting them splurge on renting all these places out for birthdays. This could also be a result of us living on a budget for the last year and how much we really need a vacation, but…
