That counts for sure! To me, it's about being able to enter that state of enthusiasm-without-selfconsciousness, no matter what puts you in touch with that. But I do agree that discussing books you really, really, really love are a great way to have that experience (in a manner that's a little less messy than sitting…

I for one welcome this new technology. Finally, I can look at my tiny phone screen to see pictures of the clothing that the mannequin in front of me is wearing, rather than having to tire out my eyes by looking at the mannequin itself. And when I've decided which item I want to buy, I can have my phone direct me to…

No joke, when I was a kid I wanted freckles and red hair so much so that I could look like Pippi.

I agree completely, and that part of the article really spoke to me too. One of the most important things to me as I have become a grownup is to hold onto that childlike excitement and fascination with things that make me feel passionate. It's not always as intuitive as when I was a child, but that's one reason why I…

I don't actually agree that this type of fandom is something we grow out of. We just repackage it into things that are more socially acceptable like parenting or sports enthusiasm or knitting or extreme exercising.

I noticed (and loved that) too!!!

Time for me to open up an Etsy store of bedazzled tampon string accessories.

At 1:43, does it eat a mealworm? Because that's awesome. I didn't know hamsters ate mealworms. Or maybe I'm just hallucinating. That's possible too.

Joining the convo to say that I personally preferred Tangled (of the two).

Wait, I must have missed the swastika bun post. Where might I find that? Because it sounds like required reading.

Hmm, that's a good point of warning. And here I was just starting to think that this might be a great card option for me. I should've known the companies would be one step ahead of us!

Got it. Thanks! Then this is sounding like a good deal (I've been looking for a great new rewards card for a while.)

I cannot believe that this never before occurred to me as a risk when sleeping on a plane as a woman (especially alone). I'm going to go hate long red-eye flights even more now.

^This. Some people will take advantage of your bursts of efficiency by expecting you to now work like that at an impossible 100% all-the-time rate, when really you can only deliver that sort of focused efficiency in small chunks. It's frustrating indeed to feel penalized for something that should actually be rewarded…

WEDDING DOULA??? Is she planning to spontaneously self-divide and asexually reproduce right in the middle of the ceremony???

There's nothing I love more than Twitter feeds from inanimate and insanely over-hyped food products. Time to follow that feed x1000. Thank god that Starbucks is bringing some meaning to my life. I'll sleep so much better tonight....knowing that I can look forward to 15 new tweets from my PSL tomorrow morning!!!
