This is why I've had actual dreams in which nothing happens except I get a hug from Obama! He looks like he has special powers.

I LOVE that clip and I LOVE Michelle's hilarious reaction. :)

Good God, this comment is shouting all the feelings in my heart. I commend you.

Sorry for the double post - it wouldn't let me post for ages and then it did it twice. :(

I desperately wish (for the sake of my former OkC-using self and other women out there) that there was better protection against the creeps.

You have to keep pushing for the ONE of the good conversations that translates to real life chemistry. It does happen, but that's where the patience comes in. (The patience required to ignore the misogynists and not end up going on a killing rampage? Well, that's another matter.)

Here's actual footage* of me crawling through the human excrement that comprises 75% of OkCupid:

It could well be. I'm not worried about him like I am about some other young stars - the fact that he admited he has a drinking problem goes a long way. I think he'll be okay... It's just a weird way to act out. It's like he thinks he's doing some kind of Joaquin Phoenix performance art thing, but it's been going on…

I think she means that if you've come right before midnight, then the next one immediately following that one might not be extremely powerful. Like, there's less build-up. Which is not necessarily the case, but you can't predict these things...! :)

It's the fauxpology Erick Erickson issued after making this disgusting "joke" about unsafe abortions. (See "Update" for the so-called apology).

I used to really root for him because of that. Apparently he got his dad a job as his on-set chaperone, meaning the dad got a wage and a steady schedule, which helped him get clean. It made me really fond of Shia for being so family-oriented and sweet and thoughtful. After he argued with the Walgreens employee and got…

Hoo-hoo boy, this is gonna be fun!!

Argh, I really enjoy those types of games but I could NOT get past Tim Curry's annoying southern drawl in GK! I think I did play the whole first one with my boyfriend at the time (c. 2000) but couldn't face the others. I don't remember seeing this tomb but it was a looong time ago...

How fucking HORRIBLE.

Well, we visited them for Thanksgiving and I met all but two of his siblings and a LOT of nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. (The fact that he's in the "older" generation and we're both in our mid-30s is a huuuuge mindfuck!) It was my first time meeting them and my first time in Utah and Idaho and my first…

Well, I didn't get enough time to interact with the groom on any of those lifestyle / conversational levels - it was just a general vibe. Like I said, I do tend to have fairly good gaydar (for a straight woman, I guess!) and I spent half the wedding thinking "yikes...!" because it started to feel like a forced thing…

I'm with you, kinda. I love stopping to look at rings in jewellery shop windows, but it feels materialistic to be ogling them on someone's hand. And actually, I haven't heard too many proposal stories (I tend not to ask unless they bring it up, same as pregnancies even if the woman looks like she's about to go into…

Great! I love when people challenge the status quo, even in little ways.

Squeee!! Congratulations to you and your moms!!!
