They even say things like “it’s true to me” and “it’s faith.” I still give my...

Winona Forever →
Winona Ryder has this problem, and as problems go it’s pretty solidly in the first-world category, she knows, but it’s a problem, still: She’ll be having a conversation with somebody—an interesting conversation, the kind two regular people have when they discover a mutual admiration for, like, Philip Roth’s American Pastoral or something.

How To Be A 20-Something →
jessicachu:
Be really attractive. Your acne is gone, your face has matured without having wrinkles and everything on your body is lifted naturally. Eat bagels seven days a week, binge-drink and do drugs: you’ll still look like a babe. When you turn thirty, it’ll become a different story but that’s, like, not for a really long time.

vainbuthonest: Baby, It's Slutty Outside →
timevsmoney:
Recently there’s been a lot of internet talk about how Baby, It’s Cold Outside is a song about date rape, mainly due to the line “say what’s in this drink” (OH NO IT’S ROOFIES, nevermind that rohypnol wasn’t invented until 1972 and the song was written in 1944). HOWEVER LET’S…
