Then in college, my roommates decide to introduce me to a bunch of new shows I've never seen, including some different animes. They put on this one called "Ouran High School Host Club", and one of the main character's names sounds kind of familiar, but I can't place it. Then suddenly,…Â
In middle school, I became friends of convenience with this one girl because we were the only two outcast girls in gym class, so we'd run laps together. It started small; she told me she was studying karate with the local sherrif, whom I knew taught karate, so it added up. Then she…Â
I was born in 96 and am from a rural southern town, and there were still places people smoked indoors until I was probably in middle school. It feels very surreal now, but I vividly remember walking through the mall in my hometown and seeing people smoking on the benches next to the…Â

Justice for Midge! I loved that doll to death as a kid and was completely appalled when I learned that other parents were causing a ruckus about her being pregnant. The mechanics of it were not sexual at all (it's a removable belly for God's sake) and she is canonically married and…Â
"I couldn't have imagined how good my life would get / Since the moment that I met you Bernadette." -The Big Bang Theory
Controversial, I'm sure, but that scene is really wonderful. Simon Helberg did it in one take, and even thought that show insanely fucked up every character in…Â
