    1- This was a really cool video.

    2- I had a lot of thoughts about today's episode (the one with Ben Folds), and your venting about the comment board at Carolla's website, but I'll distill it down as best I can:

       A). The hateful comments are, unintentionally, a callback to a few episodes ago where Carolla was talking about pissing on people and hatefucking.  It's not that the commenter thinks you're a fat slut who fucks all the guests- it's that he wants you to be, so he can hate you.  The same way that weird guy you dated wanted you to be a dirty slut so he could treat you a little more like one.  And then pee off of your balcony.

       B). I appreciate the honesty in you admitting that your feelings were hurt.

       C). I'm sure you've been flooded with positive comments.  On this note, it's a weird kind of rejection when you like a woman and tell her that she's beautiful or sexy, and she doesn't believe you.  This is just me venting, but bear with me: if at all possible, appreciate the attempts at cheer and support by your significant other, and sincerely.  

    Also, try to humor even crude advances as best you can; 

    There is a woman who I was very infatuated with, once upon a time, who didn't seem to like herself quite as much as I liked her.  When she'd talk about how she thought she was fat or whatever, my first instinct was to touch her, even it if was via text and I wasn't actually near her.  I'm certain that she would have probably been very confused by this had I actually done it, especially since it was outside the boundaries of our relationship (alas!  We were not meant to be).  What I wouldn't and couldn't have said was that I was attracted to her in the strongest and basest terms: My body wants your body.  I want to show you exactly how I feel about how you look, so come here so I can  make you believe me.

    My point being: if a boyfriend, and in your case a string of creepy Twitter followers make comments to you about how they think you're hot or how they wanna “do” you, it is an inarticulate expression of their appreciation of your beauty.  True that some of these people are douchey (strangers especially), and true that you will inevitably feel like they don't understand exactly how you're feeling.  But you'd be surprised how many of these peoples' hearts are in the right place, even if they would like to put their junk in the right place, as well.

    These are two different “right” places, if that wasn't clear; I'm not saying they want…you know what?  This post is already too long.  

    Take it easy.
