@montrealaise: ........ maybe it's only a literary statement if it's red?

@SamIam24: I would love to believe they did that on purpose, for the literary types.

This happened just north, in Old Town Alexandria as well. Although I'd say there's a huge cultural difference between Manassas and Alexandria, we're both in the Old Dominion and my hometown flipped a shit as well.

My high school boyfriend and I totally figured this one out by accident.

@sebluver: Yep. I have no idea why this is making the news. We even had awkward assemblies before homecoming and prom decreeing what would be "appropriate" and "inappropriate" forms of dancing.

OMG. 1:10 is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Ummm, why is the deadline before halloween?

@BytheSea: You sound like you had a pretty rough time in the Stone Age. Want to talk about it?

@Lorsi: Oh I'm not offended! haha I'm just making the point that had she gone out and looked for tattooed teenagers in, for example, the private schools of Washington DC, she would have found more than she expected. This "new trend" extends beyond the white-trash stereotype.

@Lorsi: I'm a diplomat's teenage daughter, and I got one. My dad was okay with it, ish. Mom not so much. In any case, I waited until I was 18, so there wasn't a lot they could do.

The lead shot is of Oh Land's set! I saw Mates of State in concert recently and she opened... I spent half the time wondering how they set up that projector/balloon piece haha

@Hexapus: Already did. Unfortunately I don't have any brothers, so I can't compare. (Although I do have a very tomboyish sister, and the same "boys will be boys" attitude seems to apply... but it's "Grace will be Grace")

"The next time sex me feel like death, I went to my doctor and got some antibiotics."

I don't remember a single day between 1st grade and 11th when I didn't have a 'crush' or 'person of interest' or something like that.

@Fallen: Freud would have a field day with this...
