I went to an all-girls high school and got kind of burned out on female companionship, so in college most of my friends were guys. Nowadays it's pretty much balanced out.

[Though thinking about it, most of my real-life conversations probably fail the Bechdel test because most of my offline friends are other parents, and I have a boy. Our kids aren't the only thing we talk about, but it would be unusual for the topic not to come up at all.]

Pretty funny, Raq. Although, seriously, I'm not often the lead in my own life.

I used to be the only female at the comic book shop or the gaming store but these days I run into girls everywhere. The last time I went to a porno shop- myself and another woman were the ones in there.

My daughter got her belly button pierced a few weeks ago at a tattoo place and at one point every single customer was a woman.

I watched Sunshine Cleaning tonight (which totally passes the Bechdel), and I was very amused by the little too much candy scene. I don't know if it was mentioned here when it first came out.

Just watched Paranormal Activity.

Scarier than I was expecting, but ultimately meh. And of course I spent most of the time yelling at the protagonists for being dumbasses.

The DH, at one point: "You have that huge television! Turn on Supernatural and learn something!"

Heh. Sometimes the only lesson is "Dean cries pretty tears of Man!Pain" but it's always worth a shot.
