Facebook, huh? I must confess, I took a peek to see if there's anything to be outraged over. The only interesting bit was some cute cat photos - otherwise, kinda boring. Reminds me of a guy I dated and broke up with, who then went batshit crazy and alienated all his friends. Even looks the same. My prediction is

I'm going to assume you're still in highschool or in your first year of college, because so far your demeanor has a lot of that age group's insecurity, desire to fit in, and unwillingness to admit fault. Laughing at something derogatory does not make it harmless - it only provides validation for the people doing it

I had to laugh at your last bit about men wearing natural makeup... I was just talking with a coworker who was saying her baby son has a bruise and it's going to be in all the pictures of his upcoming party. I joked that she should just use concealer and our male coworkers jumped into the conversation, just HORRIFIED

That actually sounds... kind of nice. So long as it wasn't mandatory to get a makeover. Personally, I love having someone else do my makeup. I never learned when I was young how to wear it and having someone else do something different is how I've picked up a lot of tips. I really enjoy the attention and seeing

Sorry, poor word choice. I still think along the lines of birth control as pre-pregnancy means and mental readjustment takes time.

Wow. On a personal level I will never be comfortable with abortion due to some family history, but I am hoping that perhaps this will make people change track from outlawing abortion to rabidly promoting birth control. That's my dream. That no one will have to go through an abortion because birth control is being

I love Chaz so much. Whenever my parents talk about transgender my dad always talks about Chaz and ends it with 'well, I guess some people really aren't born the right gender'. Which is fantastic, as I'm dating a trans woman right now and when I finally do come out to them, I'm hoping the trans part of it won't be

Clearly, the only solution for the scarcity of 'good men' is lesbianism.

Dear SAT:

So I see a lot of people mentioned divorce and the likes as to why a male/female household might not exist in Maggie's fantasy world. Well, allow me to explain. Traditional values decree that in order for a child to grow up 'normal' he/she does not need both a mother/father present - they only need to know they have

Oh god, one of my coworkers is talking about how his girlfriend brought home a puppy that had this happen to it. The owner's lease was up and so they moved out and the landlord dropped by and found a puppy tied outside. She went along to rescue it and was picking out names by the time the boyfriend got home.

I know I already commented on this, but after some roundabout Wiki clicking this morning I'd just like to say that Grace O'Malley needs to be added to this website. Because who doesn't want to dress as a pirate queen? (especially one that scandalized her father by cutting her hair short)

I wish I'd found out about this website months ago so I'd have time to put together a costume. These are awesome.

Thanks for hitting on something that's currently pissing me off in the workplace Jez. Excellent timing. I was assigned a mentor who is also responsible for my performance reviews. We work at the same client - we are thirty seconds worth of walking away. In this entire year I have met with him 0 times. I have

Can I borrow your optimism then? I've been in a bit of a funk over this recently. I tend to take those comments way too hard so my view of it is a bit more bleak than the average person, I imagine.

That is fantastic. Kudos to the volunteer for keeping a straight face, I would have lost it in hysterical laughter after the first question.

I wouldn't feel comfortable reclaiming the word fat, personally. I'm at a very healthy weight, so to call myself fat is just not a good idea. If anyone asks why I'm forgoing sweets or the likes I try to make it clear that I'm not trying to lose weight, but I'm cutting back because I don't feel as good physically

I reserve the nasty bags of smarties for people that put no effort into their costumes. One of my coworkers keeps marbles that sound and feel like candy and throws those in real fast so they don't see they didn't actually get candy.

Neat quiz, very quick and easy to take. I did good in all categories except life insurance, but since I'm single with no dependents I don't really see a point to having more than what my company provides with the benefits package. As it stands right now, my brother is my beneficiary.

I learned that 'fat' was a slur when my fourth grade teacher would make fun of another classmate. Nowadays, I'm very careful to not call myself fat - because I'm not. Instead, I say "I'm not at the weight I want to be at" or "I haven't been eating healthy lately" which is a statement about how I feel about my health
