Admit it. We’ve all been there. Doing a #2 in a public/semi-public restroom, only to realize that — oh crap (literally) — there’s no toilet paper!

What do you do?

This is precisely the reason I try my best to have a pack of tissues in my bag at all times. But on the few occasions I didn’t, I have waited until the bathroom was empty, loosely pulled up my lower pieces of clothing so that nothing was touching my skin, waddled over to the next stall and helped myself to some toilet paper from there.

I have never asked a stranger to pass me some toilet paper (although I have been asked several times over the years).

But what if it’s a one-person bathroom? And there are no other stalls? And for once, you are wishing the restaurant/office/store/etc is not trying to be eco-friendly by installing hand dryers with no paper towels in sight?

THEN what do you do?

This was actually a question posed by a then-popular Korean drama called 내 이름은 김삼순 (“My Name is Kim Sam Soon,” or “My Lovely Sam Soon”) which aired in 2005. I remember catching a few episodes back then, and re-discovered it on Hulu just recently. (Did you even know there’s a Korean drama section on Hulu? I didn’t!)

According to the main character, Sam Soon, how one reacts in this situation depends on his/her bloodtype (like Japan, Korea is big on blood typing):

• Type A’s would wait for help.
• Type B’s would utilize the two finger method (use your imagination).
• Type AB’s would scrounge for used toilet paper.
• Type O’s would just wipe later.

Sam Soon actually has a more practical method than the four outlined above: she would use her socks!

My blood type is O, but I personally wouldn’t choose to wipe later. Can you guess what I have would do?

What about you? What would you do, and is it consistent with your blood type?

Earlier this week we saw a severe dip in temperature from the 80s to 50s — literally overnight.

Fall is finally here!

In celebration of our sweater weather, I present to you 9 famous sweaters from pop culture. Enjoy!

P.S. — As much as I am grateful for the cool, crisp breeze and the start of my favorite season — I even had a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte yesterday to celebrate — I can’t help but be a bit concerned that I only have three pairs of maternity pants, all of which are loungewear. (I had been pregnant with Claire over the summer too, so most of my maternity wear consists of dresses, skirts, and shorts.) I also only have in my possession two pairs of shoes that fit my swollen feet: a pair of flipflops I’ve been wearing all summer and a $16 pair of black pumps I purchased for a funeral. But seeing as I have a little over 6 weeks until my due date, I think I can wing it.

Did you know that in the closing credits of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, you can see some mischief being managed on the Marauder’s Map?

So it’s not nearly as bad as some of the Disney’s dirty easter eggs. But one can’t help but wonder what the owners of the footprints are up to in the little corner alcove.

I must be living under a rock, because I only just discovered that Prince William is engaged to be married to his long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton.

Two official engagement pictures were released to the public over the weekend, and I have to say that I love the work of fashion photographer Mario Testino, who was chosen to document the royal engagement. Not only does the couple look exquisite, the photos (especially the more formal portrait) have a painting-like quality to them that makes them seem appropriately regal. I’d love to know what type of equipment Testino shoots with, what settings he used, and what type of post-processing work he performed, if any.

Kate’s engagement ring, which is prominently displayed in the first photo, was the same one given to Diana by Charles. Some have criticized William for choosing to gift Kate the ring of his late mother — because not only did his parents’ marriage end in divorce, his mother died a tragic death — but I think it’s utterly romantic. (Plus, I have an affinity for oval stones, as my own engagement ring is a gorgeous oval diamond. )

I was too young to remember the wedding of Charles and Diana, but I do know that it was the fairytale wedding of my generation. I have no doubts that William and Kate’s wedding in April 2011 will garner similar attention.

Congrats to William and Kate!

Things Organized Neatly is a Tumblr blog that showcases, well, things organized neatly.

I don’t know about you, but looking through these images makes me very happy and satisfied. The OCD in me jumps for joy.
