It's a Facebook page, SD. http://www.facebook.com/chelseaslight
Quilly, this is lovely. SD's right. You should sent it, or a link to this page.
And if I could make a suggestion to you, and to all mothers and fathers of beautiful young daughters? Get your daughter into martial arts. Teach her to defend herself. Make sure she knows information like this:
http://www.oprah.com/health/Women-Fight-Back
This should be required in schools, IMO. Reports on self-defense techniques, martial arts in P.E. class, etc., etc.
The most important thing? Be loud. Don't be afraid of being wrong for confronting someone if you feel threatened, and don't worry about hurting somebody's feelings. To hell with that. He'll get over it.
Women are prey. Period. A lone female is exactly what everybody from purse snatchers to rapists and serial killers are looking for. Keep your eyes open. Look around, and be suspicious. The element of surprise is their greatest weapon. Make sure they never have it.

Ditto, Daniels. It was this, wasn't it? The moment when he said... "post-university existentialism" Can you imagine the previous "writer" of this column using that phrase? LOL. xD— March 9, 2010 4:38 p.m.
Party Crasher Returns - elsewhere
"Josh used to write a lot about how "lame" he thought it was for a guy who was maybe a minor band member, who then takes that band name and tours, playing music written and created by others for whom he was once a mere employee." LOL. Right on. :) Personally, I'm more than content to let the door that hit him in the ass stay closed.— March 9, 2010 4:14 p.m.
Party Crasher Returns - elsewhere
I'm rather surprised you'd bother to comment on him, actually -- much less provide a link to another site. That said, I'm not convinced the concept of a "Party Crasher" column originates with the Reader. Seems like a fairly obvious idea for a column. For example, here's another "Party Crasher" that came up pretty quickly for me: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/party-crasher/… But HE certainly doesn't own it, either. <shrug> Sue him and see how it all shakes out. :)— March 9, 2010 3:11 a.m.

I had once a cat who brought me a squirrel as a present. :)— March 8, 2010 10:01 p.m.

"Once you've had a squirrel in the sack......you'll never go back!" Good Lord. *shakes head* I'm kinda skeered of those teeth, personally.— March 8, 2010 9:51 p.m.
Goodbye, Chelsea. Goodbye, Amber.

Found a Peanut
"I had a martini-fueled fight with a certain someone who is no longer in the employ of this publication once, and I swore I would never come back." I remember that fight. :) See there? Ya just have to dig in your heels and outlast the arseholes of the world. (They usually burn out pretty quickly, once their arrogance and dickery have truly peaked.)— March 7, 2010 12:48 p.m.

Regarding the departure of El Gringo, wish you wouldn't go, but if you must, Vaya con Dios, Dude! (I think I said that right.) See ya around. ;)— March 7, 2010 12:40 p.m.

Re #125: "If the weather in Dallas were like California and, to a much lesser degree, the natural beauty, I would not hesitate to move there." So basically, if Dallas were nothing like Dallas is (humid & hot as hell in summer, wet and cold in winter, completely flat and mostly covered in concrete) you'd move there? Keep in mind, Texas has some of the highest property taxes in the nation, relative to home value. http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Taxes/Advice… But it still is in the bottom 10 with regard to total tax burden. http://www.retirementliving.com/RLtaxes.html— March 6, 2010 5:29 p.m.
