cute mother father
Beware the cute, hot guy who kind of reminds you of the parent you don't get along with: your cold, distant father who left when you were a kid or your hot-tempered mother whom you could never please.
mother children hate
More than any other personality trait, my mother seemed to be ruled by anger and sadness. She seemed to hate being a mother. Watching her unhappiness as I grew up made me conclude that the answer was to try and be as unemotional as I could, which many therapists have taught me is a bad idea. It also made me want to avoid marriage and having children.
mother father soul
They were soul mates, my mother and father. They claimed to adore each other, as if the word 'adore' meant 'argue with ceaselessly.
mother taste facts
my mother ... took the fact that my taste differed from hers as a personal insult.
country hip leads
No one would argue against the fact that L.A. leads the country in opportunities for being hip and pretentious.
american-musician episode guide seen tv
I, too, have never seen an episode of Moesha, and even more amazing, I have never even read a TV Guide description of an episode.
It's just like magic. When you live by yourself, all of your annoying habits are gone.
american-musician few guys hats last men notice remove stuff sunglasses thick
A few last men to beware: guys who won't remove their hats and sunglasses - they think you're too thick to notice the stuff they think they're hiding.
begin conversation figure potato salad time trying waste
If you begin a conversation about potato salad and find yourself being called a castrating bitch, don't waste your time going around and around about this with your girlfriends, trying to figure out what happened.
care smells time
If he smells stinky or doesn't have time to call, it probably isn't because he's so busy. It's because he doesn't really care what you think. Period.
reality two males
I really enjoyed Merrill Markoe's Guide To Glamorous Living, which was a weird hybrid reality/sketch thing I wrote, directed, and hosted, with two male-model bimbos whom I made agree with everything I said.
writing years effort
When you have been writing for a lot of years, you have to make an effort not to start repeating yourself. It occurred to me that I tended to tread certain ground automatically, because it was comfortable, but that there were areas I avoided automatically because they made me nervous.
self awareness transparency
When anyone lacks self-awareness and doesn't recognize their transparencies, it's always funny.
celebrity-gossip care want
I don't like the celebrity gossip culture, and I certainly don't want to contribute to it. I don't care about the Kardashians, or any of them.
