| Not anybody in "real life." I have seen a few on Facebook. It's interesting. I have a sort of standard sort of name (Courtney was big in the 80s), so there were a few of them. |

| I never had it until a few years ago, but I can promise that it is absolutely NOT societally-induced in me. LOL. I never had it, never cared about it. I always had very painful menstrual cramps, but I never had PMS or anything hormonal happen before my period. It usually caught me by surprise. Now I... |

I read The Count of Monte Cristo at a young age and the idea of what revenge can do to a person is forever stamped upon my mind. What you do changes who you ar... |

If someone cannot describe their experience in words, NTs often have a really hard time with it. They don't see all the other ways of communic... |

| I can do it when people are obviously being rude or mean to me, but people rarely seem to do that. I can never tell if people are insulting me until it's too late and I go over the conversation in my head. And even then, it's often so subtle that I can't tell if I'd be overreacting or if they didn't... |

| They are beautiful, but it's not advisable to try and keep one. You need a special filtration system to keep jellyfish. Regular filters will tear them up pretty quickly; they are very delicate. I wouldn't recommend capturing a wild animal, anyway... better to let them float around free -N- easy and ... |

| I love The Decemberists, and I like the other bands you mentioned, too. I especially like the singer of The Decemberists due to how he talks about his son with autism. He wrote the song "Rise to Me" for his son and for his wife, too. :) It makes me tear up a bit. I've never seen any of the... |

She doesn't take just anything that comes her way. :) My crush was Brandon Lee. I saw The Crow when I was 9 years old and used to watch it over and over and ov... |

| There's something not being said here. Men and women experience sex entirely differently from each other. Men are very physically based, whereas women are extremely psychological and emotional. It isn't fun or bonding for a woman who gets no emotional or psychological relief from it. Sure, it proba... |
