Does it bother you when people post irrelevant discussions in specific topics?

lacurandera @lacurandera (335) • United States 24 Apr 07

I understand it's easy to accidentally do this--i've done it a few times. But i keep going to one of my interests, only to find loads of stupid questions like "what color is your toothbrush?" I don't think that has anything to do...

graduation around the corner...what would you do?

lacurandera @lacurandera (335) • United States 24 Apr 07

I graduate in 2 weeks, and to be honest, I'm not sure if I want to. i've been in college for five years now (b/c I changed my major and have 3 minors--not b/c I was out getting drunk every night and almost failed) and i'm so used...

Marriage and the patriarchy of the last name custom

lacurandera @lacurandera (335) • United States 28 Mar 07

How do you feel about the custom of women taking on their husband's last name? If you think it's necessary, why? If not, why? I won't tell you what I think because I'd rather not have any do-gooders taking it upon themselves to...

Free verse or Rhyme schemes?

lacurandera @lacurandera (335) • United States 23 Mar 07

lacurandera @lacurandera (335) • United States 22 Mar 07

Say you've been seeing someone for a few months and really begin to like them and the relationship seems to actually be going somewhere. Okay, you haven't slept with them yet but you're thinking about it. Then you go out to dinner...

Publishing work in Literary journals

lacurandera @lacurandera (335) • United States 21 Mar 07
