Torn about Pharrell, because on the one hand, ugh to everything he said + anything that is called 'Qream'. (Really? Really, dude?)

The Zimmerman verdict makes me want to vomit.

I'm a snob about manners...actually just general courtesy. Holding open doors for people behind you, waiting your turn in line, sending 'thank you' cards. Thinking of others goes a long way in my book, and I internally judge anyone who is not courteous.

Definitely reading. If someone tells me that they don't read, or that they hate reading, or that the only book they read was because of school, I get totally (inwardly) judgey. Unless the person has a specific learning difficulty that makes reading more of a chore than a pleasure then I can't help feeling like…

Me too, but I have this weird thing I do where I pretend not to know something because I'm embarrassed to actually know it. If my friends know what I'm talking about then I'll absolutely argue until I prove I'm right, if they don't then I'll pretend not to know details and be like "you know that guy that I think was…

I don't understand that outfit and I won't respond to it.

That sorry excuse for a state was the first in the nation to have a woman pass the bar, its supreme court ruled ~ 30 years before Dredd Scott that an escaped slave couldn't be sent back to his former masters, it was the site of the first mosque in the country, and educated George Washington Carver and Flannery…

I see working out as being like flossing or taking a multivitamin, you probably should do it because it's good for you, but if you choose not to it's none of my business because you're a god damned adult. People who can't talk about anything other than fitness are also about as interesting as people who can't talk…

I know we want to do a rallying feminist cry around this but let's try to be smart about this court decision. The Iowa Court is saying that At Will employment is At Will employment. You can be fired for any reason which includes being "too attractive" The Iowa courts are not the legislature. They interpret and do not…

Yep. Never wanted a big wedding, never even planned a wedding as a starry eyed youngster (other than to note Gwen Stefani's dip-dyed dress was really pretty), but... I have a stereotypically large Irish extended family. And I don't mean far-flung cousins who I never see, I mean a community of at the very least forty…

About the sponges? Okey Dokey! They're basically sterilized sea sponges (so not like a dish sponge or anything). They do have all of those environmental benefits etc. but I started using them for the practical awesomeness benefits. I used tampons my whole life until I switched to the diva cup. I switched for the…

It just boggles my mind. I don't understand why telling people "I prefer fancy vacations and handbags to poopy diapers and college tuition" is so bad. I mean, really all they should have to say is that it's not for them, but alas, people are nosy.

Cameras are annoying if they're unwanted because the act of filming is very intrusive! And people don't think about videos and cameras as power tools (not the construction kind, the theoretical kind). You need to give up some control/power when someone is filming you, and when that is involuntary it's FUCKING ANNOYING…

I felt this way about yogurt until I finally tried greek yogurt. And then I realized it was the loophole I needed to get around the social stigma associated with eating sour cream straight out of the container. God, I love sour cream.

Go see a doctor if you're concerned about rapid weight gain and get some blood work done, maybe? Have your eating habits changed? Have you been drinking more booze/empty calories? Exercising less? Been extra stressed? Been depressed? I'm certainly not a doctor, but it's worth getting checked out if you feel like this…

Hey Jezzies. I have been feeling pretty depressed lately, it's been going on-and-off for two years, but I just assumed that they were work stress or winter's blues and just powered through them. Except this year the depression has really spilled over and I still feel awful in June.

Wonderful jezzies I HATE MY EYELASHES!! They're short and point down.What mascaras have you used that made your lashes seem longer? Fake lashes seem like such a hassle.

Former Girl Scouts! I start leading my Girl Scout troop soon and would love to hear about things you enjoyed. I never got to be one so I feel a bit unprepared. I'm mostly going off of Troop Beverly Hills.

Last week I was still waiting to figure out where exactly I was going to be working, and now I know...I GET TO WORK AT STAR TOURS!!!

I can't figure out how text annotation works. Can anyone help me?
