When my little sister had her senior photos taken, they asked her if she wanted to have the scar I gave her trying to cut her bangs when I was six/she was three. She was totally shocked and said, "Why would I want to remove part of my history?"
I was so secretly relieved that she didn't total hate her scar enough to get it retouched.

Awww, I wonder if they'll talk about it on the Bugle, his and Andy Zaltzman's podcast.
God, I don't like practically any of those things on the white girl list (and even HATE some). Laaaaame.
I still sleep with my Mickey Mouse doll/stuffed animal. I lost his red pants like ages ago so technically he's all naked too. I don't really have an emotional attachment to him, I just really like looping on arm over him so my chest is lifted off the bed and my boobs don't get all squished.
I love this movie and my sister and I frequently yell out "There's no crying to baseball!" whenever somebody has a hissy fit.
@secretformula: Being bi just sucks. It's like not even being picked by either team. It's like they don't even want you to play and desperately try to foist you off on the other team. So you have to sit on the sidelines making daisy chains watching everybody else play. And nobody ever takes you seriously causes, dude, who makes daisy chains...and wow, I'm way too invested in this metaphor.
@JulieSunday: God, I looove Fun Factory. They make the most fun dildos and vibes ever. I was tempted to buy one of theirs because it was CUTE even though it was not really my thing.
Also, silicone is the best. Easy to clean, transmits vibrations really nice, and feels "natural" without being...creepy.

I've always been able to remember my very vivid dreams but after starting a different anti-depressant a few years ago I've become a DREAM MASTER. Now, my dreams are sometimes as real as my waking life. It's sort of scary, actually, as I've woken up IN a dream and gone through my morning rituals before realizing something was off.
I'm almost always aware that I'm dreaming and can usually change my dream to fit what I want to happen. I'll get mad in a dream sometimes if something dumb happens or if a random person shows up somewhere where they don't belong. I once was super pissed with my older sister for a whole day because she was mean to me in my dream. Totally unfair, but it was so real!
I also tend to act out my dreams physically. I punched a wall last year really hard and because I sleep with my arm tucked under my head under my pillow, in my dreams, sometimes that arm won't work like I want it too.
But it's kind of fun. I tend to dream about being some kind of hero or leader on some adventure. A few days ago, I was flying around saving people from evil mind-rape monsters. And then I felt bad when I woke up because I was having so much fun flying that I kept forgetting to save people. Whoops.

@Queenjulie: Haha, mine does that back and forth thing in a single word too! All of a sudden I will start to connect letters and then by the end of the sentence it's turned into a full on scratchy unreadable 19th century mess. I constantly feel as if I should be smoking opium in a fine velvet jacket and writing angsty poems about ravens.
Wow, her handwriting is super legible. Or maybe mine is just super "I'm writing on a train during an earthquake while totally tired and AHHH THERE'S A FIRE GET IT OUT AHHHH WHY AM I WRITING WHILE THERE'S A FIRE" complete with changes in writing style between print and cursive for no apparent reason other than I can't print for more than two sentences.
@traezer: I know, she is literally two days older than me and and always so surprised when I realize that for the four millionth time. It's seems like she should be so much older to have gone through all the drama she has.
Yay, Kara Walker! I love her cutwork. I do work in papercutting and she is so inspiring. Her images are so graphic and narrative. Her subject matter is a painful reminder of the horrific things people do to each other but I find it to be full of emotion and interest. She had a show at the Walker (the modern art museum in Minneapolis) and I went to it twice just to bask in her skill and her stories.
@morninggloria: Oh Joe Mauer, (insert breathy lust filled sigh).
@Tippi Hedren: Yes. Florida has a resident population and going west along the coast line they are more winter visitors. They occur into Mexico too in the winter.
@leahbobeah: I like your style. We should totally be best internet friends ever.
Romolaaaaaa. God, watching the BBC's Daniel Deronda back when it aired on Masterpiece Theatre back in like 2002 introduced me to three great and passionate loves, Hugh Dancy, Romola Garai, and George Eliot, all at once.
I...sort of can't even get past how much I want to, like, stare at pictures of her dreamily and have passionate historically costumed fantasies about her to actually say something intelligent about this. Sometimes I really really appreciate being bisexual.

@MischiefMinx: No, but she was obsessed with squirrels. Like the dogs in "UP" made me giggle because she was so like that.
@cand86: A+ for anatomy skillz.
@regazza.di.lupo: I agree and I'm even entomophobic! Snakes are are lovely and the way that they move is just a miraculous dance of musculature. It's so my dream to get a red tailed boa or corn snake one day.
Now I miss my Sheltie, Maggie/Mags. :( She was so cute and tiny but super fierce. Even when she was blind and hobbling she would bark at anything that came within two feet of our yard. She was a big Sheltie but still pretty tiny so her guard dogging was hilarious.
Maggie was already a part of our family before both my little sister and I were born. She used to herd us a babies and play babysitter as we played as kids. She was so intent on her job of playing nursemaid that she was almost blind, deaf, totally arthritic, and still going at EIGHTEEN years old. She died my sophomore year of high school but I still miss her little happy dances and cute little feet and sweet jangling bell on her collar.
