This year I told her I had a phobia of roast chicken.

One year, when i was broke, I convinced my sister that it was because I had a shopping addiction to socks and owned over 600 pairs. I kept saying, 'I'm terrified of wearing the same socks twice, someone might notice.' It was pretty sweet.

What's the best prank you've ever played? Every year around this time I tell my mom something super shocking, like I'm pregnant with triplets or I'm tattooing a third eye on my forehead or I got a job counting ammunition in the Democratic republic of Congo, and she never catches on. What about you? xoxoxoxo AM

I like Cato because he always finds the best photos of boobs!

Nope- pubic hair doesn't repel blow jobs, poor hygiene does. Pubic hair doesn't decide whether or not I give blow jobs, in my professional or personal life, and never defines the quality of service ;) Many SPs are just not that judgemental if they like you! xoxooxxo Amelia

I'd go bowling with the Obamas. I'd eat low-fat yoghurt and carrot sticks with Michelle and talk about fashion, I'd gossip with Sacha and Malea, and I'd stare, tongue-tied, at my hero and listen to him blather on about whatever he wants. Or I'd spend the night out with the soon-to-be assassinated Medvedev.

I like WIT because he never fails to be sweet and understanding. xoxo

The sound of a whip being whipped is actually a sonic boom. It breaks the sound barrier. For all you dommes out there- you're performing a science trick that's very difficult to achieve by a mere human hand. That's soooooo cool. xoxoxoxo Amelia

No no no, I haven't had time to send out her present yet. Nobody tell her it's her birthday yet. Emily, it's not your birthday, it's just a false alarm love ya

I thought I'd ask about this on cerb because of our combined wealth of knowledge on sex (though I'm not assuming a wealth of knowledge on addiction). Someone close to me, a woman, has recently been diagnosed as a sex addict. This was out of the blue for me and everyone else she chose to tell. There were no signs- no signs as clear as a drug or alcohol problem might provide. I'm so confused and worried. I understand alcohol and drug addiction quite well. What is sex addiction? How does one go about helping the person? If anyone has any knowledge or advice on what I can say/should not say or do, please share. I didn't realize sex addiction affected women too. All I'd really heard about was the Tiger Woods thing. At the time I thought 'sex addiction' was a pubic relations term excusing infidelity. But it's not, it's a real thing. Thank you so much xoxoxox Amelia

It seems like many of you shave your heads. How come? My friend does it because he thinks it makes him seem tougher :x He has a well-shaped skull though. I shaved my head once because I was frustrated with other things. It turns out I have a dented head. Why???? Is my brain dented too?? I love my long hair now. And I love a shaved head on a man. Very masculine...... Actually, it does make you seem tougher!

Any guys gonna fess up to owning concealer for the occasional blemish? :) I don't know what men do without makeup sometimes...

I thought your birthday was in August. Or at least November. I gotta stop wishing you a happy birthday every 3 weeks. xoxoxoxox

I asked this question over the in sp section. I always feel ready to face the world when I'm properly and tastefully made up and dressed in a feminine manner. After a recent surgery, I felt pretty blah until I put my makeup and a smile on. It changed my whole outlook that day. 'Putting your face on' is such an old fashioned term for women. But it's one of those things that still feels great. Not every woman needs makeup or should feel the need to wear it. As one girl pointed it out, it's not necessarily an anti-feminist thing to do in our feminist age. Yet I cling to the routine of putting my face one. Someone else pointed out quite rightly that it's not just a female tendency. What do guys do? Of course, you're all entitled to wear make up too ;) What is the grooming/self-decoration routine that gets you ready to face the day, face your job, face everything? There's so much power in feeling you look great. How do you get yourself there? What do you absolutely have to do before you leave the house? xoxoxo Amelia

Blind Lemon Blue

From Seinfeld: You can stuff your sorries in a sac. And Jerry keeps saying, I still don't know what that means. Always makes me laugh.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought you were talking about men with heavier (therefore 'lower') balls. I was going to write, all balls are created equal! Mind is in the gutter, I guess :) A

I am an introvert in an extrovert world. You're not alone. The less you say, the smarter you sound, at least to yourself :) xoxo Amelia

I'm in Mississippi right now. For real. It turns out that the stereotype about citizens of the American South- dopey, redneck hillbillies- is a conspiracy theory to cover up the reinstatement of the Confederacy. I was at Jefferson Davis's old house today in Beauvoir and I swear he was only the first in a long line of Confederate presidents. Their president now is either Brett Lefebvre (some football guy) or Michelle Bachman (Current President of Crazy). I'm working on reconnaissance right now. Next stop: Krispy Kreme. Happy weekend! xoxoxoxo Amelia

Can you get me one? I've always wanted a robot butler! On another note, does anyone have any opinions about Stalin's death? Did Krushchev et al know he'd had a cerebral hemorrhage? Or did they really think he was sleeping? I definitely think they knew and let him die.

lol, you're not the only person. I don't believe any of these things either but it's fun to imagine a different world sometimes. Of course, when the secret Harper army of robot butlers knocks on your door, you may have to eat your words :) xoxoxoxo Amelia

Pigman. Not just a Seinfeld myth, I swear. Also, catwoman. Possibly with less leather and more whiskers. They're out there.

You know all those crazy conspiracy theories crazy people talk about? Like Elvis is still alive, or the moon landings never happened, or Area 51 is the mysterious home to alien conventions (buffet included). You've all seen those bargain books at Chapters, lying uneasily in bins affixed with a $4.99 price tag, titled 'The Government Poisons Our Water with More Water' and 'The Holocaust Never Happened, by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.' My question is, what conspiracy theories do you believe? I know they're silly but it's fun to imagine a totally different world every now and then. My favourite conspiracy theory, which I would love to believe true, is that the Romanovs are still alive. Or at least one of Nicholas's daughters. How fun would it be to still have a Russian royal family? Just to annoy Putin. What does everyone else believe/wish was true? xoxoxooxoxoxo Amelia

Can I come? xoxo

A joyous and merry Christmas to all cats in the world, particularly mine, because she just ate half a stick of butter under cover of darkness. Could life with cats be any more fun?? No. Happy Christmas cats and cat lovers! xoxoxo
