Went to one dance in high school. Was immediately bored and left early. I also got detention because I didn't bring my tickets, even though the school has a list of which students bought tickets at the door to make sure you didn't counterfeit your tickets. Ugh.

They were horrible.

Sounds like we could be best friends.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I don't know ANYONE who likes or actively seeks out vodka. It's whiskey or nothing in my neck of the woods. Vodka is usually reserved for girls who go "clubbing in Vegas." (And don't make me choose between weed and whiskey — that's some Sophie's Choice shit right there.)

A lot of "radio music" is extremely over-produced and rendered to be absolutely "flawless." A lot of the human elements that make live music great are stripped out of Top 40 pop, mostly because there's no room for "mistakes" — like small slip-ups in rhythm, changing dynamics between sections, etc. It's all loud (super…

As a Cuban American, I am ashamed that I have to include Pitbull in my ranks. Also Marco Rubio.

Boyfriend and I desperately want to elope — but, we're realistic and wouldn't want to hurt our respective parents' feelings. We've discussed guest list sizes before, and a good way we figured it out was as such: Would we be upset if this person wasn't at our wedding? Or would we be OK with it? If it was the former,…

Not to mention, if the LW1 couple met through the bride, then the bride definitely knows the boyfriend in SOME capacity. You don't need to be BFFs with the dude — but if your good friend's significant other is also someone you know and have known for an extended period of time, it's very rude to exclude that…

Why does there always seem to be an extremely high occurence of bad 1980s mom hairstyles on anti-choicers?

Having been on the losing end of salary negotiations at my old job, I think it would be beneficial to run some sort of article (like Gawker's unemployment series?) where readers can submit their stories of workplace pay imbalance and their successes/failures in salary negotiations. It would be an invaluable tool that…

Hah, well I'm a journalist who is also really, really bad at math. I sympathize. But this looks good, I'll definitely check it out! (Bought the car last night, and I'm left with $4k after the downpayment. Bleh.)

I'm 25. I have a nice all-cash savings of about $14k. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to use almost all of it to buy a car since mine died and I'm without transportation.

...not living in Georgia?

Oh my god, NAILED IT.

This is what my boyfriend and I have discussed and decided upon. Now, to break the news to our folks, who I am sure would not be happy about the whole eloping nonsense.

She's whip smart and extremely funny. I think she's great, and I'd love to see her on a major network late night show one day. I'd watch her over any of the boring ass Lame White Dudes we currently have to choose from.

I'm sorry, you had me at Taco Bell wedding.

So glad my college boyfriend cheated on me with his coworker behind my back. Now she has to deal with him (and his horrible Mainline Mom) and I don't!

Definitely wasn't the pearl-wearing WASP-y middle-aged lush I was envisioning.

Thanks!!
