I second this question. Bug is one of the most memorable films I've ever seen. I saw it without knowing anything about it at all, and it was awesome. Thanks, Mr. Friedkin, for that one. I had nightmares for a while.

I wore white because I figured I would shock my husband-to-be by going full-on bridal. (Sidenote: he was shocked). It was fun to dress up in a big white dress with a veil, although I wore silver chucks instead of fancy heels. I wasn't a virgin before I got married, and I didn't feel weird at all wearing a white dress.

Truth be told, sanderyan is right--you can wear whatever the hell you want on the big day because it's YOUR wedding. Here's a tip though: when you try on THE dress, you'll know it's the one because you won't want to take it off.

I love the word "totters". My mom used to use it.

I don't know, but it will certainly be interesting to see. Both options have compelling storylines to me.

One one hand, she could get a part, and actually become somewhat successful and have that lead to interesting issues in her marriage. And Bettye! Can you imagine how crazy she would get if Don's new wife becomes this famous actress?

One the other hand, your idea that she won't get a gig is probably more likely. She'll probably grow to be dependent on Don, become dissatisfied, but I don't think she would just sit around and sulk like Betty. Maybe she'd go back to Sterling Cooper?

I'm Texan and I can confirm this. Examples:

"Y'all's front tire is low."

"Y'all's new place is so big!"

"Y'all's dog is so cute!"

...and so on.

32, born in '79. I like to joke about how I was born in the 70's while my husband pretends not to know me.

zegela · 22 days

You know, I felt the same way. My late 20's crept up on me, and before I knew it I was 29 and was like "Oh holy shit, 1 more year and then I'm OLD!"

But I was pleasantly surprised to find 30 kind of liberating. My crazy 20's were behind me, I had a good job, was in a stable relationship, and just felt good about not being a kid anymore. I hope turning 30 is as auspicious for you as it was for me!

Sure, what happened to Sharon Tate was horrendous. It could certainly have destabilized him. It doesn't excuse raping a child, but it could certainly destabilize someone who was already unstable, even if the events were over a decade apart.

The man never paid for his crime, has been living abroad in Europe for the past several decades, has won numerous awards, and is still able to make films. I can concede he is a talented filmmaker, but even if the academy did have some sort of Polanksi-embargo going on (which they don't), I wouldn't think they were "absurd" for picking on the child-rapist by not giving him some pretentious award.

RedPaperTowels · 22 days

Also, the fact that he won an Oscar 10 years ago notwithstanding, I can understand why an organization wouldn't want to endorse a man who drugged, raped, and sodomized a 13 year old girl. I wouldn't necessarily call that "absurd".

I had a friend years ago--J.P.-- who dated one of my good friends for a while. He was kind of a dopey loser, lived with his mom, couldn't keep a job, and smoked pot everyday, but he was a nice guy (seemingly), and so I was happy that he had finally found a chick that was into him.

His girlfriend, my friend, and I would carpool to work. One morning, she was telling me about J.P., and we were gossiping like girls sometimes do. And she said, "It's weird though, he never lets me into his house."

And I said, "Well yeah, he must feel pretty awkward living with his mom and everything."

Long story short, my idiot friend had fabricated this nonexistent room mate named "Jason" the entire 3 months they were together, and when she found out she got super pissed and dumped him on his birthday.

I felt bad at first, but then I found out that JP had been sneaking drinks on my tab at the bar, and spreading lies about me to our other friends. So fuck that guy.

I still see him from time to time. He's 29 now, and still doing the exact same shit.

I really love their relationship now too! I think they are becoming friendlier, and that they have a great mutual respect for each other.

I didn't even take Joan's "You might even want to go shopping comment" as a dig--I took it more as "Girl, you might get proposed to tonight, go spring for a new dress!" kind of comment. I thought it was cute.

This sounds like autoerotic asphyxiation. I think that's how you spell it.

In a lot of states it's perfectly legal for real first cousins to marry. Step cousins? Apart from your parents getting a little butt-hurt over their perceived weirdness of it, it's actually not that bad.

I'm deaf in one ear. I have to tell people this a lot, because a lot of times someone will try to talk to me, and I can't hear them. So it goes like this:

Me: Sorry, I didn't hear you, I'm deaf in my right ear. What did you say?

Ass-turd: What?

Me: I said I couldn't hear you--what'd you say?

Ass-turd (now laughing): What?

I refuse to be speak to anyone again once they've pulled that shit with me.
