If anybody else is still up, I have a question. Does anyone else think that clothes are really exceptionally ugly right now? I really want something new, just an item of clothing, and everything is on sale everywhere right now, so it would seem like the perfect time, but nothing is jumping out at me. Clothes are just so ugly! Did designers decide we should all look like crap for the moment, so that in a couple years they can make some pretty stuff and we'll all spend a lot of money on it? I don't get it.

@missbitchy: I'm looking at ebay. I can't stand the smell of thrift stores, so that never works. The biggest problem is there is almost nothing at all in stores that I like, and I love clothes, and would buy as much as I could afford, if they weren't so universally ugly! It seems like everything is made to fit like those dresses Angelina Jolie wears -- kind of like a paper bag. Not cute at all.

So my ex bf is coming into town in like 10 days so I've decided to try and cut some calories. This means no alcohol on weeknights for the next two weeks (except thursday counts as weekend night). So i know it's only 8 days total but it still sucks. I invested in two large bottles of nyquil to induce sleep as a replacement.

@Residentdrunkgirl: Wow, this is a strange coincidence, I was actually wondering if Nyquil would be permissible on my diet as a replacement for nightly alcohol.

I am on a diet for the first time ever (I need to lose a bit of weight for health and hotness) and it's been two days and I'm already bored. Sadly, looking good for an ex would be more motivation than just looking good in general.

Unfortunately, I bought generic nyquil because I didn't realize how nasty it is. So I'm debating whether to have some or not.

But, I'm only trying to lose a pound a week. If I was trying to lose a whole lot of weight in 10 days, I'd probably follow a ridiculous diet too.

@Ailanthus-altissima: This might seem counter-intuitive, but I feel more inclined to ask a personal question here than to talk about it with my friends simply because I am a pretty private person. I ran the sibling dilemma by my fiance and one close friend, but other than that, I just feel awkward talking about my Maury-like family with my friends...

But if I had my own blog, that would be different. And personal stories on the rest of Jezebel are distracting, and as the editors pointed out, often inappropriate.

@R.S.: I feel like my blog would be al ot like my attempts at journaling. An obsession with writing fascinating things, making myself sound interesting and worldly would just give instant writer's block. This is in my own private journals...

Super personal question! I know we got a warning from the editors not to post personal questions, but this isn't a common situation, and I feel strange asking (most of) my friends.

So, my parents split up shortly after I was born, and I had limited contact with my father, which I don't really remember, but then he passed away when I was 10. He had another family, but I was never interested in contacting them, because I just felt like I had enough in my life, and it was too messy. Now I am 24, and I was looking at a school's website for a grad program, and they had profiles of their students. One of which is very likely to be a half brother. I am an only child, and I just think it might be interesting to at least acknowledge I have a brother, and how crazy is it that he is part of the very program I'd like to be in? So, I wrote him the most awkward quick email, but I want to know what people think about this? Is it stupid to want to contact him? Am I messing with something that is absolutely pointless and will only lead to trouble? Or is it natural to want to at least have an email exchange with someone you share genes and interests with? Thought?!

@goldengirl11 (is way too earnest): Maybe you should start the email exchange just about the grad program, and then let him say "Oh, it's weird that we have the same last name," and then you can say "Yeah, I was wondering if you might be a cousin or something," and proceed from there. That way it's not too "OMG MY LONG-LOST BROTHER!!!!!", and that way if he totally wants to avoid the issue, he can just not mention it.

@Residentdrunkgirl: I really don't know. I would assume not.

Goldenboy has a wealth of siblings and family and can't really understand why I think genes matter at all. And for the most part, I do agree with him, but I don't know if it's curiosity, or the fact that my brother seems to be the male version of me (at least from his online presence). If he were a redneck fundamentalist, I probably wouldn't really consider contacting him unless he contacted me first.

Thanks!

I didn't want to get into the specifics of the email, but I awkwardly said I was looking at the bios page because I had some questions, then listed the questions, then was like, "oh, btw your profile jumped out at me because I was wonder if you were related to..."

Then I cracked an even more awkward joke about not being a Nigerian prince. Um, humor diffuses strange situations?

@Residentdrunkgirl: That was what I was thinking. But I am currently enrolled in a professional degree at my state school, and even when I started this year, I'd been eying this other program to transfer in to as part of a joint degree...so I think that part at least seems credible. But if I didn't mention it at all...

@tinycowboyhats: Since my dad passed away when I was relatively young, I figure there can't be that many more...

Also, I know my dad was probably a manwhore, but not a douche, and the reason we didn't have contact was sort of beyond his control and rather complicated, but I think if I were in your position I might have the same reaction. I like avoiding messiness, even though I may just have caused a bit of it.

I love Mariska, and the L&O franchise in general, but SVU's storylines have been bothering me lately, not because I've had anything happen to me, I really can't put my finger on it. I think it's just too much, honestly. In emotional movies, or movies with dark plotlines I feel like there is more finality, when the movie is over, it's over. In SVU it's just week after week of child rape, assaults, weird incest, etc.

Another question. I am hosting a dinner party this month, and one of the guests is gluten intolerant. Since I have no clue what gluten is in (besides most things), do any of the gluten sensitive jezzies have recipe ideas?

@dianersb: My best friend is wheat-intolerant, and I think I might be-- it makes me itchy and farty, which is no fun. I've just been moving my diet towards the outside of the supermarket-- lots of veggies (potatoes are a good starch and if you cook them with the skins, they're pretty healthy), lean meats, dairy, etc. Quinoa made with chicken broth is unexpected but always tasty for a good starch. Maybe don't do pasta, have bread out but also veggies, and for dessert, instead of a pastry or somesuch, a sundae bar?

Also, if there's a Trader Joe's near you, they have a long list on their website of all their gluten-free foods: [www.traderjoes.com]

...Okay, this may well be the greatest musical number of the show thus far.
