oh my god, Pacific. i did my writing undergrad there, and worked with that MFA program!!

welp, just in case i needed a reason not to go to the cruddy Chinese places in Austin...

yeah, me too - i can barely use tampons anymore, my flow is so light. maybe it is getting older, i just turned 30?

that Fazoli's story will live forever in my mind. i laughed so hard the first time i read it, i ended up having to read it aloud to my friends! and much hilarity was had by all.

i was about to pull out a snarky "the dumb is strong in this one," but then i noticed where it happened.

ahahahaha, oh my god!

i think the link is that i'm also a hand sewer who does quilts. just not ANYWHERE near as fancy!

of course she was!! i adore her - i just wish i knew a nice way to tell her i'm a natural oils kind of girl.

oh hell yes!!

thanks! it's been my nickname for 15 years. :D

i also got a scented bath shit kit from my dude's stepmom! the cheap walmarty kind.

i need to learn how to knit. i want hand-knotted socks!!

as long as they fit, they are THE BEST KIND!!!

socks can be THE BEST gift, if you're into weird socks and so are your friends. my friend gives me a shitload of socks every year for Hanukkah. neither of us are Jewish, but her husband is. between me & her fam, we celebrate Solstice, Christmas, AND Hanukkah. multi-cultural FTW - we get ALL THE PRESENTS

so i'm going to bet that she's probably never ever getting a decent present from you, ever again!

well. *i* would be ALL ABOUT birth control that would sterilize me! but i'm most likely in the minority on that one.

as a person who once had a shitty stick & poke and who had to cover it up when i was finally 18, YEAH NO. BAD IDEA.

aww damnit, but i REALLLY wanted that wedding cobra...

i have not been sexually harassed per se. i have been treated like an idiot and had my landlords only talk to my male roommates/boyfriend bc clearly women have no brains. and i've had one say "you should be doing this" when i objected to the cleanliness of the place i'd moved into, and made HIM deal with the 10 years…

oh my god, the Navy story made my day!
