I own a '99 Lincoln Continental, but recently I've been driving my mom's Saturn because my car is a piece of shit. My dad bought it for me last May and I've already put another $1000 plus into it to keep it running. Also, only getting 13 miles per gallon at the moment. I started out with 16, but...

It's an interesting excerpt that has started this conversation. It's odd that I find some parallels to my father in this post. I think my father loves me and my sister, and I care for him, but I sadly don't love my father anymore. My father decided to stop working about six months after I...

Men take up more than 70% of the media positions. That means they control TV, Radio, Magazines, and every other form of media. Sure, not every man is to blame for the skinny models partaking in Fashion Week, but men in positions of power give a thumbs up because that is what the consumers seem...

"alysa" is my actual name. The spelling is unusual so some people who either want to spell it with two S or with an I instead of a Y. Heck, I knew an Allyssa once. I liked the history/meaning behind my name and how it was taken from Alyssum, the flower in my avatar. It's a member of the mustard...

I received the Sociopath. I'm really surprised by this result. I'm sure I would have gotten a Spiteful Loner or Emo Kid. I'm not really disappointed by my result.

While reading your original post, louiesgonnadie, I couldn't help but reflect on myself in the past and the current turmoil my sister is going through. I've been suffering from depression since I was about 10 years old. I wasn't officially diagnosed until I was 15 because my parents turned a...
