I think in his case it's mostly that he's not filtering what he's saying because he just wants to talk about any ole thing because talking distracts him from his grief.

Happy belated birthday!

I guess I have mixed feelings about people who say whatever is on their minds. On the one hand it is good to know exactly where you stand with them. You can better understand them when they aren’t trying to hide their true feelings. You know better what to say to them. You don’t have to guess what ...

My grandmother died a few days before Christmas. It sucks. She was awesome. And now my grandfather is dealing with his loneliness by saying everything he's thinking, including: -Calling my 33 year old sister an "old maid" (he did apologize for this after realizing it hurt her feelings) -Co...

Best possible answer to this question.

Not a whole lot is new with me. I still teach high school, which is either the best job ever or the worst job ever depending on the day. Still married with two dogs and no kids, still planning to keep it that way. We will have the student loans paid off in about six months and then we are gonna take...

I was raised evangelical-ish rather than Mormon, so my faith crisis involved a different set of intellectual issues. But emotionally, I think it's not so different, and it sucks. I don't have anything much to add except that it's hard, but you already knew that. So....yeah.

I answered soliloquy, but occasionally it's address if I'm being stern: "Emiliana, you really can't hit the snooze button anymore this morning." Or if I'm being stern about something work-related, it's last name: "Get it together and grade those papers, Keats!"

Maybe people didn't ask questions over Thanksgiving break?

I started day treatment a couple of weeks ago for depression and anxiety. As part of that, I've had the pleasure of working with the single best psychiatrist I've ever seen. She diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder. I was comfortable with major depressive disorder, with dysthymia, with...

Does it really never occur to this guy that the reason he gets "friendzoned" isn't because he's only a "7" but because he's a raging misogynist asshole?

It's remarkable what I accomplish while avoiding grading papers and writing lesson plans.

I didn't go to BYU, but I went to a small, hyperconservative Christian college that most people haven't heard of unless they're from the denomination it's affiliated with, or unless it has recently made national news for being homophobic. So, of course, there are TWO obnoxiously hyperconservative fa...

Can I bore you with tidbits about script rules? The rule of thumb with scripts is that one page equals one minute of screen time, which is why scripts for movies aren't supposed to go over 120 pages. When shooting a script each page is divided into eighths (sometimes with a ruler), and you build yo...

I was super excited that Tally found a way to answer my question about amount of dialogue in TV shows!

http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/90326/ Dear 20 Year Old Emiliana, I am hesitant to say too much because I don't want to accidentally disrupt the timeline or cause a paradox by means of my spoilers, but there are a few things I would love for you to know. The biggest one is that it's going to be ok...

Hi folks!
