(if you feel like explaining what cards you have in your wallet that would be rad too)
In my bag:
Two wrinkled-up Netflix movies in their envelopes
A green rubber band
A half-drunk Dasani water
60 cents
A 16 GB flash drive
A bottle of Dramamine pills
My wallet has a lock of someone's hair, a credit card, a debit card, my driver's license, my high school ID, my Brown guest ID, my old RISD ID, a bunch of punch-cards for local pizza and sushi places, a video store membership card, a business card for a Chinese restaurant in NY, a bunch of receipts, and some cash.

Should I let my husband read my diaries from hs? He found them in a box the other day and has been pestering.
(He features heavily in it, not all of it flattering. Another person I was seeing then also features. He knows I dated her, but not more than minor details. I don't think he'll freak out or be rude or anything. But the teasing could be merciless and long term.)
eta... he's not going to be cranky about details, I just don't like to talk about it b/c it wasn't the healthiest relationship I've ever had.

Recipes?
bok choy
radishes
apples
tangerines
collard greens
spring shallots
green leaf lettuce
broccoli microgreens
purple turnips
I haven't cooked with some of these things before, so I was hoping that you guys could point me to some tasty recipes that involve one or more of these items. What would you make with these ingredients? I also have some monterey jack cheese and mango chutney in my fridge that i'd like to use soon, so bonus points for recipes that use those. :)

I'm so obsessed with TVTropes that I sometimes find myself describing events my own life using tropes. The other day, I recall telling a friend of mine, "So, after 3 years of UST with my best friend and lots of having to say 'He's not my boyfriend!', we finally had a relationship upgrade in the form of a now or never kiss, and it was pretty much a crowning moment of awesome." She looked at me like I had feet growing out of my head. Oh well.
Tell me I'm not the only one who does this, TQC. Tell me it's not so bad.
In general, do you ever find yourself using weird/obscure internet terms in everyday conversation?

what colour would you choose? i picked white, my sister picked black, my brother picked silver.
leather seats or cloth seats? i personally like cloth seats better because they don't heat up like leather seats do, and we live in a crazy hot country. it's always such a pain to get into a car that's been parked in the sun.

What is the sexiest thing you've ever heard someone say in your favorite accent?
Inspired by watching Leverage last night, in which Sophie said "Go get 'em, tiger" and it was just totally OMG-gotta-change-my-underwear hot in that British accent of her's.

Whenever I wake up and have to be somewhere early, I feel nauseous and end up puking (like this morning, I had to wake up at 7 and be somewhere at 8). WHY? Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone know of anything I can do to make the nauseousness go away? I start school in a couple weeks and I'd like to be not puking on everyone.

What are your plans for today?
(no subject)
a) Carry on living together, which you really want to do, and rent, which would be at least £350 (around $600, i think?) each per month
b) Both move back home with your parents, which you really don't want to do, but would be rent-free, or near enough.

Dkdc- How would you rate your happiness on a level of averageness? Say whatever level of happiness most people are, that's 5. Where are you on a 1-10 scale, 10 being high because its high.
Me: 8 or 9. I think you'd have to be on a pretty solid Dalai Lama level to be a 10. ;P Which I am not yet at.

I graduated in December with my master's degree and haven't worked since the summer since I had to do a full-time, unpaid internship the last semester. I don't have a real job, but I'm a part-time nanny now making eh money. My husband and I had to borrow money from his mom to help us through the last several months of my master's program.
That being said, my 1st wedding anniversary is in May. We want to go on a trip because we haven't been anywhere since our honeymoon and are both kinda depressed with our situation. We found an amazing deal on a cruise, but will have to put it on our credit card. Is it worth the debt to take a much needed vacay?
vet techs in TQC? maybe?
or if there are no vet tech's in TQC, are there any blogs you can suggest? i'm not really looking for q&a blogs about people already in the field, i'd like to read about someone going through the process or just a general discussion board.

Today sucks.
I'm sick, and was planning on spending my day happily sleeping on the couch, but I had to run to the ATM to make a deposit first. On my way there, the lady in front of me decided to SLAM on her brakes as soon as the light turned yellow. I hit mine as well, and would have stopped, but the road was slick and I slid into her bumper, just BARELY tapping her.
She was nice enough, but insisted on calling the police for the report, so now my perfect driving record is RUINED!

Job Hunt
Say I want to apply somewhere like a supermarket. How/who should I ask for an application? How soon should I return it? How/to whom should I give the application?
I like to think I'm not actually /as/ clueless as all that might lead me to appear, but knowing I'm going about things the right way always helps to bolster confidence.

Also, I was trying to edit the damn thing. The original question was "would you work a job that makes you miserable for more pay, or a job that makes you happy for a couple dollars and hour less?"
my edit was supposed to be this: I crunched the numbers and in my situation its about $200 less a month than i make now (after taxes), but im super super depressed and hate my life because of this job. also, the hours are waaaaaaaay better at the new job. Does this change your answer???

My friend is having a baby in a couple of weeks, and I'm going to be in the room with her and I get to cut the cord! Another friend suggested I should yell, "Snap into a slim jim, OH YEAH!" when I do it. What's something else I could say at that moment?

12 F, in Portland last month. I think it's kind of funny that I've been in New England and Chicago this winter, but Portland was the coldest. Hottest was 99 F in San Francisco, go figure.
To which states, provinces, countries etc have you traveled in the past 12 months? Any upcoming trips planned?
I've been to Nevada, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Texas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, and Illinois. Going to The Netherlands, UK, France, Ireland, and as of today probably Haiti.

You're at home one day when there's a knock at your door. Upon opening the door, you come face to face with Bruce Springsteen. "Hey, I don't mean to inconvenience you, but can I use your bathroom? I just happened to be visiting my friend next door when the 'urge' struck me and I'm afraid I can't hold it much longer. May I?"
Let's say he talks you into letting him use your john. When he's done, he comes out and thanks you and he's on his way. You inspect the bathroom. The 'Boss' took a big dump in your toilet and didn't even flush. What do you do?

If not, Are you a fan of Leno or Conan?
also, do you have a favourite conan moment?
Mine is probably the zipline or the last time Jim Carrey was on his new show and they were talking about penises (sp? idfk) and Jim Carrey laid across Conan's desk and scared the mess out of him!
Or the Jon/Stephen/Conan Fight.

My brother and I were watching Back to the Future III and he turned to me and asked "You think that little kid (the marshall's son) is the principle or his dad?" And I'm like "wait, what?"
I have seen this movie a million times and never realised that Marshall Strickland and Principle Strickland were from the same family.
It happens a lot with movies I saw first when I was a kid.
Which is your favourite Back to the Future? I like the first one pretty well, but the third is my favourite.

I am considering meeting someone that I met online this weekend. I'm a girl and I am meeting a guy. I have made it clear that I just want to be friends and that I am not looking for a relationship so hopefully that will be respected- from what I can tell of this guy so far, I think he will respect it. Our encounter will be in a very public place- a restaurant and then a pool hall but I am still nervous about something bad happening.
What safety measures should I put into practice? I know that I should definitely tell someone where I am going and when I plan to be back, and plan to call them when I am back and if they haven't heard from me they should call me.
How worried should I be? I kind of have a little bit of male issues... it's hard for me to feel safe around males in general when it's just one on one but I know this may be a bit irrational on my part. I am excited about meeting this person, he seems like a really cool guy and it seems like he could potentially be a good friend. I am not getting a creepy or scary feeling from HIM, but I do kind of have one about the situation- it would be the same no matter what guy I would be meeting up with. What advice do you have for me?
