On Your Next Failed Diet
@Leon Tchotchke I lost 60 pounds a while back and people still bug me on how I did it.
I say eating healthy foods and lots of exercise and it amazes me how few people believe me. :/

@dtowngirl My boyfriend does that. I don't even think he's got that weird of a name, honestly, but we walk into restaraunts and suddenly I'm there with "John."

@Toby Jug ME TOO. For the longest time I would lie about utter inconsequential things for no reason- like what I had for dinner or what time I'd done something.
Eventually, I broke the habit but I never even understood why I was doing it.

@kangerine One of my friends in high school had an adopted older sister. Weirdly enough, though, they looked just like each other, so pretty often people didn't believe them when it came up.

On The Best Time I Watched TED Talks as Foreplay
@EternalFootwoman I think that's why I've been known to enjoy them in LTRs? I mean, there is something hella intimate about "okay, we're gonna stand around, clean our bits and chat."

@Decca Yeah, I think the thing about the Social Network is that it wasn't actually about Zuckerberg, it was about power dynamics and snappy dialogue.
In real life though, they look like an adorable, slightly dorky couple. Also, insanely normal.

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow!
There will be a bouncy castle at the reception.
I love my friends.

@elysian fields New York shopping can be a tear-inducing experience if you are on a budget. Discount stores are probably your best bet.
Daffy's and Century 21 can be great but they require some patience, as you'll be wading through a ton of hastily organized stuff. Uniqulo is good for t-shirts and jeans. H&M is your buddy but make sure to look at what you're buying since quality varies a lot. If you can stick your head into Strawberry without wanting to stab your eyes, they can be good for things like tights and leggings and occasionally they have some okay dresses. (I got this insanely cheap Calvin Klein dress to wear for a wedding this weekend there. So weird.)
Shoes- go to the DSW on Union Square and head for the sale racks in the back.

On The Dry Cleaning Ouroboros
Can we just admit that quality of life is not entirely dependent on whether or not we have signifigant others? Or is that too shocking or something.
