Yes, I know this doesn't make me special
If you reach your mid-20s with no career direction, what do you do? How do you fix it?
Show them this Meta
"Show them this thread." Has anyone ever actually done this?
Skinny-ish jeans?
The top third of my legs is a size and a half bigger than the bottom two-thirds. Where on earth can I buy skinny jeans/pants? Preferably under $50?
What was this weird YA novel about alternate realities?
Name that YA novel: a prince whose people live in a dream world and shun reality meets a princess who can make stuff from HER dreams come true in real life, and they go on some sort of adventure.
Blog me
I want to read more NYC-specific blogs. Lay 'em on me.
Hey, what are all these kids doing in here?
I, too, would like a chance to have my work be rejected by MefiMag
What's the deal with MefiMag?
"The only answer I received from Paypal was silence."
Paypal is coming down hard on online erotica retailers. The service has sent demands to such ebook self-publishing sites as Smashwords, AllRomanceEbooks and Bookstrand, demanding that they remove all titles containing bestiality, rape-for-titillation, and incest- including the popular 'pseudo-incest' category of stepparent or stepsibling sex.
"If I had died, there would have been an investigation."
Pimp My Roof
My new apartment has an accessible roof with an awesome view, and this summer I would like it to be an Awesome Party Spot. At the moment it is completely bare. What makes YOUR roof great?

I think it's high time for some meta-love. Post your online dating profiles!
I need to write to make money, and I need money to fix my computer so I can write...
Broken laptop hinge in NYC. Where can I get this repaired without paying one hundred million dollars?
This week, on Tiny House!
The world's tiniest 2-bedroom with three people and a dog. I shouldn't, right?
I would MUCH rather have a lady-mustache than this
I got my upper lip threaded. Now my upper lip is covered in ingrown hair bumps. Help me make them go away!
Finding scraps of good data in a sea of irrelevancy
I was recently placed in charge of a large database which is probably 90% irrelevant information. What should my plan of action be for cleaning it up?
It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times
I want to spend next year reading ~the classics~.
So, um, what are they?
I feel like a part-time model!
I just received my first professional blow-out, and holy crap my hair looks amazing! How can I do this to myself? And without it taking approximately forever?
What do doulas do?
What is it like to be a doula?
I still KNOW the quadratic equation, just not what it means
I have forgotten basically all of math, and I want to learn it again from the ground up.
I'd like to be in on the obscure jokes about Sri Lanka
I need to start following international news for my job. I also just bought a Nook. I'm betting the latter can help with the former...
Coffin Sweet Coffin
I finally have a room of my own to decorate! ...And it's the size of a walk-in closet! Help me figure out how to make this tiny space into my home.
One time it duplicated every file in my library! For no reason!
I have a computer with way too much music on it, and I have an external hard drive. Can I store all my music on the external hard drive without making iTunes angry? Please explain as if I am twelve.
It's adorable AND delicious!
I like drinking out of teeny tiny cups. If drinking a beverage involves repeatedly pouring it out of a large container into a cup that holds like 5 sips, I'm into it. Please tell me every conceivable example of this.
Of course, the only real way to protect yourself is to just read all the books immediately
Game of Thrones spoiler policy: is information from books 2-4 considered a spoiler for the TV show?
If only 10-year-old me had insisted on lessons...
Did you start learning to play an instrument in your 20s? I guess I have this feeling like it's Too Late for me!
Viewing popular favorites for posts tagged 'pony'
Is there any way to view Popular Favorites for a given tag- for example, sorting posts tagged with 'books' in order from most to least favorited? If not, could there be?
But what if I CAN'T make it there?
I just graduated, and I have an opportunity to live rent-free in NYC for a couple of months while looking for work. Can you think of a reason this is a bad idea?
Time to stop feeling sorry for myself!
If you tried and failed and tried and failed and then succeeded in getting fit- what finally worked for you?
Down with Google Maps tyranny
Slight issue with IRL: what if the location isn't easily findable on Google Maps?

I'm leaving college, and I want to know where I can find a sense of community in the 'real world.'
American in Beijing wants to grab some drinks!
I'm an American studying abroad in Beijing this semester, and I'd like to break out of the college bubble a little and meet some local Mefites. I obviously don't know the city all that well, so if people wanted to meet up, it'd probably be better for someone else to propose a venue. Anyone interested in meeting up sometime in the next few weeks?
Argh blargh economy
Soon-to-be college graduate strategy: move and then look for jobs, or look for jobs and then move?
Like postsecret, but more unsettling!

I bet someone's gonna say 'lawyer,' aren't they?
I have discovered a passion for collaborative, research-intensive projects which involve a lot of creative problem-solving and some sort of concrete product at the end. What jobs and/or hobbies should I look at?

Also, add gin. But not on a Thursday morning.
In the midst of the awful heat wave sweeping my chunk of the East Coast, I just want to call attention to this fabulous lemonade recipe by Elsa.
The look I get when I tell people I had an ulcer on my eye makes it ALMOST worth it
After a bad experience I am finally ready to wear contact lenses again... but this time I want to be absolutely, totally, 100% safe and sterile about it. What steps should I take to minimize my chances of infection?
What would YOU want to hear in a coffee shop?
Tell me your favorite compilation albums! The more eclectic, the better! The catch: I want to play them at the coffee shop where I work, so they can't be too loud or have any cursing in them...
Help me plan for planning!
I think urban planning could be my dream profession. I also have no experience whatsoever, all the introductory jobs want experience, and I don't want to go to grad school without KNOWING this is for me.
Three cheeseballs in the shape of a snowman?
I need a good, NON-SWEET Christmas morning snacky food!
Did you know there were giant beavers?
Good books about prehistoric life which are NOT about dinosaurs?
Too much choice!
I want to study abroad. I have absolutely no idea where. Help me narrow it down!

I thought I hated tea (the drink), but I really just hate tea (the plant). Help me discover herbal tea!
Point, manually adjust thingometer, click
I would like to teach myself photography, ideally from a book (a good website would work too.) I'm at the point-and-shoot level, but my camera has so many neat settings I want to try...
Argh blargh monopolies
My new rented house used to be a duplex, and it still has two electricity meters. Do we really have to pay two bills every month because of this?
