When I was a kid, I'd often have dreams that I had gotten up, gotten ready for school and headed out. Somewhere along the way, I'd realize that I was dreaming and my dream would reboot back to my bed. I'd get up, get ready for school and head out...

Fat Satan is the reason why Kentucky Fried Chicken tastes so good even when you know it will wreak holy havoc on your intestines the next day. Fat Satan is the voice in your head that whispers, “Take the elevator! Why disdain 150 years of hard work...

This isn't about me, as I don't have a roommate (save for my just-turned-eighteen niece) nor any children of my own. So "Jill" is a single mom of a toddler who moved in with her friend "Jack". It made sense financially and it enabled her to have...

We're only around a hundred or so posts away from it right now, so we're clearly going to hit it really soon. I've been doing my best to nudge it a bit faster this morning. No, it's not a special milestone or anything, but...um... ...it's a lot...

There are many talented Seths in the world. Gods, biblical figures, stoned comic actors, all have been known by the great name of Seth. But who is the greatest Seth of all? Which one truly owns the name and can be recognized without any last...

You know how when you're drinking and a random idea gets brought up? It's late, you're buzzed, and it suddenly sounds brilliant. You're filled with an incredible creative force! The muses come to speak to you and guide your hand! You know that you...

Let us assume for a moment that Lagamorpha, the wicked and beautiful Rabbit Mage, has captured you for crimes against leporidae and has sentenced you to death by bunny. Using her mind control powers over the rabbits, she sends masses of them after...

pepperlandgirl has set us up with an official Domebo Twitter Account. Aside from keeping people updated on important announcements, we can also use it as a live news feed for threadspotting. Which is, of course, where you guys come in. Post...

I have tried yoga. I have tried prayer. I have tried hypnosis. I have sat quietly and sought a peaceful place in my mind. I have been told that this is how you hear your soul, by shutting out the outside. Yet, there's always a part of my mind that...

Per the discussion in this thread, I'm taking the suggested names for the In Real Life subforum and opening them to voting.

I'm twenty-eight and have, for most of my life, been quite content to be unmarried and childless. For the last few years, my teenage niece has been living with me and she's been child enough. However, in exactly one month she'll turn eighteen and...

I've been suffering from a lingering ear infection ever since I had the flu some time back. The antibiotics hadn't done very much, other than making me sick and I just kept getting worse and worse headaches. Well, yesterday afternoon, there was a...

Yesterday at work, a gentleman came in. He was roughly five feet tall and wall-eyed, with stringy, greasy black hair that was pulled back into a long pony tail, filthy clothes that were kept together by duct tape in some spots and was mildly...

I know you're watching. It's okay, really. You'll find it's not intimidating at all once you dive in. In fact, it's rather anticlimactic. C'mon, you can do it. If you don't, I'll stop talking to you. :Shake:

Yeah, I know, this is total and utter fluff and completely brainless. I don't care. Look! Piggies!

Sticks brought Formspring.me to our attention and it's turned out to be sort of entertaining. My profile and all the nonny questions I've answered here. So far I've seen Sticks, Myrna, Marsilia, and Elyanna on there. Anybody else using it? What...

At Oliveloaf's suggestion. Today I was able to run for sixteen minutes, which pleases me greatly. I have a long way to go yet, but I'm trying to take it slow since pushing and injuring myself will only slow me down even further. Diet on the...

Ever since I was a small child I've held the theory that in the midst of their grief over John Lennon, the nurses at the hospital accidentally switched me with another newborn. These conversations are why. Rather than incriminate the ignorant,...

Today is the day Peeta can legally drink in these here United States. Happy birthday!

I'd asked about great teenage adventures in the interview game thread and OneCentStamp gave this amazing reply: The summer before 10th grade, I took a hiking/canoeing trip in northern Minnesota with my Boy Scout troop, who also were my circle of...

Don't tease us, Phil. :dubious:

The history books usually tell the stories about the grand and important people, but I've always found the little tidbits on the less noticed folks more interesting. Share any figures you find really fascinating--the more obscure, the better. The...

I'm not and I never have. It's the anniversary of my dad's funeral (great way to ruin the holiday for a kid on the cusp of adolescence) and so I've never done much except think about that. If I'm feeling particularly moved, I might get flowers for...

So tonight Marsilia and I were discussing fake smiles and how to spot them. Apparently, I'm unusually good at it. This test has you look at very brief videos of twenty different people and you have to match who's faking and who's genuinely smiling....

One of my friends shared this political compass, geared for Canadians. I felt unqualified to answer the questions on Quebec, but did my best on everything else since I was at least vaguely informed on the other topics. Apparently I'm just a hair...

What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. What do you call a video of pedestrians? Footage. What do massage therapists eat for dinner? Spa-ghetti.

http://www.hypnoid.com/psytest2.html This is a really bizarre test. It's just shapes and then strange, generally paranoid sounding questions or statements. These were my results: Though quiet on the outside, you are often the hidden hero;...

People often like to turn to the beliefs of earlier people for alternative medicine and exciting new superstitions. If somebody famous recommended gargling with urine 2000 years ago, then it is automatically more legitimate than mouthwash. To that...

I regret that I have not eaten the hearts of all of my enemies.

I'm an editor for a small publisher. Since it's small, I end up wearing a lot of hats and getting odd jobs to keep things running. Today, I went through my email, answered some questions from authors, and sent acknowledgments that I had received a...

I've got an obscene amount of work and no costume besides, so I'm not going out anywhere. However! I'm in a new town this year and it's a very tiny one at that (I could literally name each person here). The parents here generally take their kids...

When something excites you, pee.

I just saw this tonight and my jaw dropped. Absolutely incredible costume. You have to watch the video for the full effect. Anyone see any other incredible costumes out there?

...that the Latin slang for clitoris (landīca) was considered one of the filthiest words in the language?

My family. Almost all of us are together today (my pregnant niece managed to make it at the last minute, thrilling us to no end) and we have all of our family traditions playing out. It's incredibly reassuring and pleasing to have things stay the...

Lake Bunganut.

Happy birthday, Orual! :dumbo: I hope you have a most fulfilling day.

Cheap Tampons I have often been outraged at the amount of money required to manage my menses every month! So I have been using rolled up baby socks for over a year and have not had any leakage, no infections, average amount of mess (like when...
