Oh no, I totally understand that. I was sexually assaulted in India and my day-to-day of getting to work in the city could often be described as "harrowing," so I totally know where you are coming from. The only place I felt like I could let my guard down were the far northeastern Himalayan areas that were basically…

I'd like to add that while in France I noticed they have public washrooms pretty much in every major city I've been too. You pay about .25 to 1 euro to use them and they've all been super clean or decent. On the south side even there's outdoors ones that clean themselves after every use. As someone with bowel…

No. It's creepy to want to use a car trip as currency for a transactional blowjob though.

I would like to put all of her shoes in a place where she can't find them then sprinkle her whole home with Legos. I would also like to make the only music she is ever allowed to listen to every song featuring Pitbull or Nickleback.

Fight the good fight. :)

Deprogram that gender pink vs blue bullshit! And everything else you mentioned you're fighting?! Ugh multiple times over. I try to sow seeds for that battle at every opportunity. By the way, if you need an extra at Thanksgiving, my take-out skills are fantastic. That's all I'm saying.

Spent a wonderful day out with my mother. We ate an amazing lunch at the National Gallery of Art, then we went to the Dumbarton Oaks museum, and we explored the vast gardens.

Well, when I realized what was happening, I sneakily slid some of her additional gifts under the couch and will return them. And the next time I'm home (she lives with my dad, because she's a precious 24 year old snowflake who doesn't understand adulting), I'm snagging the sweater and the Kate Spade necklace too.

Here's the conversation I had with my husband last night: "wow, my family REALLY improved their knowledge of me as displayed by their gift selections. I really feel pretty understood and loved right now. Maybe they've actually started listening to me?" My husband: "you didn't notice these are all from your Amazon wish…

Technically she was brain dead, not dead dead. So it was more of a case of whether the right of a compassionate death should trump the rights of a foetus.

Ah, yes - this is precisely why I stubbornly refused to spend Christmas with any of my family. My sisters are both married with kids and I am the odd forever single auntie that no one knows how to handle. Also, I haven't spoken to my dad since Easter due to a terrible scene where he screamed obscenities at me, so…

My sister thinks Hugh Jackman is one of the most attractive living men.

Omggg Four is such a good album. BUY IT. You will not regret it.

All I can think while watching this is how much more attracted I am to the members of the Roots than to the members of One Direction. Is this wisdom?

Can we just agree that everywhere in Florida is the Florida of Florida?

you mean if a latino or asian cop killed a black guy?

The black community did not shoot those police officers. An individual man with a lot of issues did.

I AM BLESSED WITH HAVING SO MANY INLAWS WHO HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF ME AND ARE VERY NUMEROUS AND FREE FLOWING WITH THEIR OPINIONS ON MY PARENTING ABILITY AND FREQUENT REQUESTS FOR MY FAMILY'S PRESENCE AT UNAFFORDABLE FAMILY EVENTS, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS, AND UNAFFORDABLE CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
