On Your Own Personal Mean Girls
@euphoria also, me and the boy ended up being quite good friends when I stopped trying to hang out with the popular girls, and he was full of cool and fun, so it had definite upsides.

On Your Own Personal Mean Girls
@becky@twitter
mine was hayley, who told the most awkward and unpopular boy in school that I was going to ask him out, and then told me that he needed to talk to me. both of us stood awkwardly in an empty hallway looking at each other not sure who was going to talk for about 5 minutes before she yelled "just kiss already."
what? now it seems stupid, but it was mortifying when I was 13.
however, she has no fashion sense and is married to a guy who is not nearly as hot as any of my men have been, so thank GOD for friending your enemies to find out that. :P

On An Addendum to the Modern Meanings of Flowers: White and Yellow Roses
I once had a drunk tweenager puke on my BRAND NEW LEATHER BOOTS on the train. but I almost wanted to give her flowers because it was most certainly red sourpuss, and the hangover from that is awful.

On You Have One New Death
This article made me feel awful. I'm from a pretty small town, and my mom called me on a Saturday to tell me that one of my good friend's uncle had died that day. I waited til Monday and sent him a text saying I was sorry about his uncle and to call me later if he wanted to talk, they were close.
So about an hour later I get a VERY upset and confused phonecall from my friend whose parents are vacationing in bali and no one else had numbers for him and his brother. So that was a horrible conversation of having to tell someone that their uncle (who I never met!) Had died. Ugh.

On Canadian Heritage Moments
Oh I never even considered that it was because of the Heritage Moments that we all associate burning toast with having a stroke! I've probably alienated American friends with that joke then.
