Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Yeah, I thought it was interesting that the answers to that question focused almost exclusively on the physical instead of the mental. School tends to be stimulating in a lot of ways that some full-time work isn't. In school you're likely to be juggling four or five different classes, plus extracurr...

As my Greek professor would say, it warms the cockles of my heart to be able to help.

Point granted: who you kiss varies depending on your culture. But neither in my native culture (white, Southern, middle class Protestant), nor the East African culture where I live a lot of the time, would I *personally* kiss someone I wasn't romantically involved with. I suppose the only exception,...

I'm not Mormon, but my typical order would be: hugging (I've hugged guys at any stage of relationship/non-relationship, including while telling them I wasn't interested in going on a second date.

Old Testament Words: 170/200 3-lettered body parts: 4/10 ... I must be tired. Numbers: 61/100 first try, 100 on third try) Plagues of Egypt: Disgraceful. I don't want to tell you. Common words: 74/100 World religions: 9/21. Would have been 11 if I could spell Zoroastrianism and remember what Baha'i ...

Wow, I'm kind of ashamed of myself--I only got 86. But I haven't read any of them in about a year. I was proud of myself for remembering Ariana Dumbledore, kicking myself for forgetting Delores Umbridge ... I remembered who she was, of course, but couldn't come up with her name.
