5. Seek higher education.

Awww Dren, you totally killed my buzz there. Please find a life. I'm really rooting for you.

... You're not alone, Sarah. That video was freaking weird. It actually annoyed me. I hope I never have to watch that again. :\

Great episode. I think I'm getting used to the shorter length now. I love the banter between Moujan and Sarah -- you girls are funny! Moujan is just so adorable <3 I love her bloopers.

Ok... back to having no life..........

BITCH!

actually they say life becomes more meaningful when it makes a difference in somebody else life ..so giving back would be the most fulfilling in the long run ... casual sex? .. casual sex is one of many "bad behaviors" that at best, will not add anything to you and people around you and at worse, well ..i can think of a couple but i dont want to spoil your day ..

this got me wondering, how do people do on a bad day? or when something bad happen ..i just go to sleep, what do you do?

Nope.

Casual sex is actually one of the leading causes of QLC. Unfortunately, we do have to consider MediaMisfit's response a valid one. After all, Moujan did
ask for it. Heck, at this point, even "bad" activity would bring some much needed life to the popSiren forums...

WHERE'S THE FLAMIN TROLLS WHEN WE NEED 'EM ?!

"I am SO a victim of the quarter life crisis.

Hey Moujan, I hear casual sex helps if your interested.

On the other hand Bloc Party is the sweetness so I'm really psyched about their new stuff. Rock on PopSiren."

Very classy, sir.

I just checked out the show for the first time and dug it.

Maybe it's covered somewhere else (so sorry if this is redundant), but is there place where all the recommended music from all the previous episodes is listed? I dug what was recommended this episode and just wanted to see what else has been recommended before

"The pink/shell/teddy bear video creeped me out majorly. I think it's just the pink rhinestones at the end. Course/rough textures like that just really creep me out.

Patrick Norton.

I think it'd be neat if some bands mentioned in the forums got reviewed on the show."

Forgot about him he indeed does have good taste.

Patrick Norton...

Yeah, Sarah should do a guest music pick every week.

In fact, I'm using mind control on her now, and I'm pretty sure this is going to happen...
