Serious question, is Supernatural mysoginist? I've never watched an episode.

I've watched the whole series so far and I didn't really get that impression much. Beyond I guess the joke that Pick found, which isn't really typical for the show.

It is best to stay away from the obsessive fandom though.

I feel you. I have the worst, white trashiest name ever because my parents were from Riverside and somehow thought the nauseously low-class name they gave me was acceptable. It's like they wanted me to end up living in a trailer park

(it's Starlyn, ughhhhh)

So, so many times. I usually shop at thrift stores though, so it doesn't hurt my wallet too badly and I can always re-donate them. I don't know why I thought I would ever wear a shiny snakeskin print raincoat or wrestling boots, though.

If the shoes are leather, a little bit of time, a pair of thick socks and a hairdryer might help them fit a little better.

It wasn't leather. I have 2 other pair of shoes I'm going to give away. One is a tad big I have to insert tissues to make it fit. I bought it because I needed a simple heeled work shoes. My size was not available and I thought since I wear thick stockings to work almost everyday, that it won't be a problem wearing it. The other one is a sexy 2.5 inch heeled shoes that I bought for a cocktail party that is just toruture to wear for even just a minute. I was okay with it when I was at the shop. Then when I wore it for the party, it tried to kill me.

what's great is having a name that everyone spells totally wrong (and their spelling would change the pronunciation of the name so apparently people just mishear me)

I feel bad for the kid who has 3 first names and each name is at least 3 syllables long. I know someone like that. Her nickname is of course just a syllable and 4 letters.

I was going to be either Aurora or Ariel before my parents decided on my actual name. My dad wanted to name me Galadriel, because he's a super-cool guy. My mom put her foot down on LOTR names.

Turns out my actual name is a comic character from his youth, he neglected to tell my mom that, though.

Look on my Posts, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
I want to marry a Smith or Jones because SO tired of spelling out multisyllabic many lettered last name and making the same corrections every time. No there is not even remotely a Z in there how did you even hear a Z.

I'm at a total dead end for the Russian side of the family, geneaology-wise. Cyrillic is hard, makes brain hurt. I've tried researching US census forms and F/V/W all seem to be interchangeable letters depending on the individual census taker's mood and personal level of literacy/ability to parse accents.

I took my husband's name not because I was bowing to convention but because I was sick of my Canuck last name being tortured by people. My last name now has 5 letters, one syllable, and the last letter is redundant and therefore silent.

Marvel got the rights to Miracleman and now they're reprinting it as a monthly series. If any of y'all like comics, you really need to pick it up. It's basically the best comic.
