    She looks very like Liv Ullmann (right).

    True fact: I used to babysit this little boy who loved to get dressed up in princess garb and play witches or Sailor Moon. Super cute kid and his parents just let him go for it. I've always wondered what happen to him... #lilyskids

    Sigh. I wonder if I can get a copy of this magazine to prove to my (soon to be) in laws that my (soon to be) niece can play soccer and still cook and bake and clean and be pink. So far, they will only let her be a cheerleader and dance while her brothers play football, baseball AND soccer. #lilyskids

    In reply to Sex Sounds: How Loud Is Too Loud?
    I don't mind that I can hear my neighbors' muffled sex sounds. I live in an old house that has been converted into apartments and I expect a certain level of noise in such close and poorly insulated quarters. But if I heard the sex sounds of, say, people in adjacent buildings or-- even more improbably-- people across the street, it would piss me off. Involuntary sex moans at a decent volume are normal. Super loud sex moans that the whole neighborhood can hear are exhibitionist. #loudsex

    In reply to Sex Sounds: How Loud Is Too Loud?
    After living above a meth- and alcohol-fueled sex screamer, I say throw the book at them. 90 minutes of "OH OH OH FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH" etc at 3a.m. on a Wednesday, despite neighbors on three sides pounding on your shared walls? Rot in hell, some of us have to get up at 6a.m. I've heard some natural sex moans, and then there's the "the louder it is, the better it must sound to our houseguests" sex moans. Here's a tip: I don't judge you as a person for how good your sex sounds. I do judge you for waking me out of my REM sleep as you shriek like a monkey. #loudsex

    I personally think the Don/Peggy scene was one of the sexiest the show has had.

    So much tension. #madmenseasonfinale

    I've had the noisy-sex neighbor before, and while I'm all for people having good sex and enjoying it, I still find it extremely rude for them to have LOUD sex at 4:00 am. I'm talking screams, encouragement, headboard slamming the wall, the works. Naturally this would wake me up each time it happened. It was loud enough that the neighbor that lived below me could also hear it. Everyone has a right to their sex life, but people need to be respectful of general quiet hours and at least try to keep it down. It's the considerate thing to do. #loudsex

    I live in a condo complex in CA. We like to keep the back patio doors open at night, you get a lovely breeze from the ocean. You can hear our neighbors if they're in their adjacent patios, or the garages below, but most of the time, you really can't hear anyone at all unless they're outside and being loud.

    Well, one memorable Saturday night, someone forgot to shut their bedroom window next door. And we were treated to two sessions of what sounded like incredibly fun sex. That girl was into it, and she was having a lot of fun. The first session, roughly at midnight, involved a lot of orgasms, and something that buzzed. The next session, at roughly 1am, was a bit slower and had some really long and gratifying sounding orgasms.

    We sat out our on patio (as did our teenage neighbors, I could hear them giggling behind the wall). I had a glass of wine, and spied one of our other neighbors across the way sitting at her upstairs windowsill doing the same.

    Apparently the whole neighborhood was enjoying the entertainment. I may or may not have twittered the entire show.

    I really don't mind hearing sex, so long as it's at a reasonable hour, and it's not deafening. #loudsex

    @tiredfairy: Ew. I just don't want to get that intimate with people I don't know. Or am not having sex with myself. It's a private thing. Open windows are one thing; beyond that, if it's like this couple, I have to wonder if they're just plain exhibitionists, and if so, I don't want to be part of their little scene. #loudsex

    @Ginmar Rienne: Well, in this instance, it was clearly an accident. I don't think they intended that the whole complex here the evening events.

    I think I'd probably get annoyed if I had to hear it a lot. At a certain point, you've got to know you're being inconsiderate. But I don't want to judge other people's consensual sex lives, or say you can't be noisy sometimes. Sex doesn't always allow you the ability to be quiet. Still, I believe in courtesy. #loudsex

    In reply to Emma Thompson's Name To Be Removed From Polanski Petition This Week
    I'm glad to see she came around, and that she took her promise seriously. So many other celebrities would probably avoid the issue or claim ignorance when asked to explain their actions. Very few people would have the humility and honesty to admit that they were wrong and to take steps to correct the situation. #emmathompsonromanpolanski

    I don't have a problem with my neighbors hearing me and my sweetie do it; I have a problem with the dog. As soon as my fiancé puts it in, the dog seems to know. He starts keening. It wasn't too bad when we lived in the country, but now we live in a New York City apartment. We have to make sure that not only are we silent, but all the doors in the apartment must be closed, and we have to be super-careful that the bed doesn't jiggle. I would love to figure out how to stop the dog from going nutso when we do it. #loudsex

    In reply to Sex Sounds: How Loud Is Too Loud?
    If the noises are at a reasonable level (conversational or below), then if they are going at it during the day, I think that it's fine. Dealing with noise is part of apartment living, and sometimes it sucks.

    If they are too loud (above a conversational level) or are noisy at night, when most people sleep (I sleep during the day, because I work overnights, but I know that's strange), then they need to figure out a new system.

    My apartment has thin walls. I can hear my neighbor snoring. So, quiet hours (self-enforced) are between 10 pm and 8 am. I know that if I am too noisy, I will wake him up, and that's rude. Being considerate is also part of apartment living. #loudsex

    @boxspelunker: I agree - it's important to be considerate of your neighbors. I wish my current upstairs neighbor, who may or may not be She-Hulk, agreed with us. #loudsex
