      • I have always been unreasonably afraid of my own unreasonable fears, and also that this is completely apparent to everyone else. Since I'v…

    • Mac and cheese always soothes me when I'm stressed

      • Mac n Mac n Cheese

        My favourite comfort food is pasta, with some sort of cheese sauce on it - specifically macaroni and cheese. Sometimes, if it's a whole day of wallowing in stress, I'll make a baked mac and cheese with real cheese sauce. Other times, it's Kraft Dinner (or the vastly superior President's Choice White Cheddar) made frantically in about 15 minutes and eaten while sitting on the couch with the cat, working away on my laptop.
        Also critically important: no additions must be made to the comfort food for full effect. No chunks of ham, no bacon, no hot dogs, and absolutely NO ketchup.

    • A day without a cell phone

      • I have forgotten my cell phone maybe 5 times - I usually leave it at my boyfriend's house when I head home from the weekend. The prospect of going without my cell for a day is so alarming that I usually detour off to his house on the way to work the next morning to pick it up. The one time I didn't come by until the end of the day, I kept looking around my desk and in my purse for stuff, thinking that I had forgotten something really important.

    • Advice from my parents to you...

      • Dollars !

        Pay cash for everything.

        If you absolutely have to put something on a credit card (i.e. you can't make a payment that big with a debit card), try to follow these associated pieces of advice:
        Pay your credit card off every month, even if you have to use your credit line to do it (lower interest rate on a credit line, usually).
        Make sure your credit card is one that has some sort of bonus collection (air miles, groceries, whatever).

        This advice has prevented me from racking up any sort of serious debt, other than the "good" kind, like a mortgage and car payments. It also helps keep the worst of my impulse buying and consumerist impulses at bay.

    • A real-life Miranda Hobbes

      • Logical to a fault, vaguely misanthropic, but a loyal friend and concerned with justice and fairness. She's a bit of a softy on the inside.
        Until recently, I was also a redhead.
