@Bookish Bohemian: which is weird - I can't remember a single outfit of Kenley's that I liked. (And she's such a wench.)

@pandorasmittens: I've seen that wink! Sarah Palin imitated it during her Gibson interview! I will be plagued by nightmares tonight.

You know, I sort of like this approach:

@funnyface: The problem is that (on both sides, dare I say) people hear what they want. When I hear something damning about McCain I don't always investigate whether there are mitigating factors, because I'm happy there's dirt on him. McCain folks do the same with Obama. In fact, BOTH camps' ads have relied on people…

@NefariousNewt: A wrench to the eye? Yow!

@Miss Scarlet in the Hall with a Revolver: I've almost volunteered a few times, to make calls or travel to a swing state to campaign. What's been stopping me? I feel like I can't change anyone's mind. Folks who like McLame choose to ignore his lies and flip-flops as well as Palin's soulless acid-reflux-inspiring…

sorry to be totally ign'ant... but does 'pro-ana' mean something that glorifies anorexia?

Yup. Still despise her.

@anonymiss: I am pretty bangin' :)

Not to be all "woe is me" but sometimes being the only couple in a group of single friends sucks hard too. I've been told, kindly at least, that I wasn't invited out for a girls night because I didn't have the same agenda (to meet someone). SO not true, I said, "you want to get laid, and I want you to get laid!"

So... even though I have a long-term partner... do I get to celebrate because I'm not married?

Is it possible that what people identify as "dieting" has changed? Meaning, if someone asked me if I was dieting, I'm not sure what I'd say. I'm not living on lemon juice and cayenne by any means, but I am really conscious of what I eat, and often deny myself lots of stuff I want but "shouldn't" have (pizza, hot dogs,…

@gherkinfiend: I don't think it's necessarily denial. For me, to get through the few things that have been way too painful for me to wrap my mind around when they first hit, I've had to close off just a little. Just until you can bear it, I guess.

actually... could someone phonetically spell "Givenchy" for me? Seriously - I'm always nervous around that one.

As a new jezzie who never really got used to the old system, I'm thrilled that I don't have to do a "find" on the page to see if anyone responded to me. I like that I can just expand and see what ppl wrote in response.

@maggiethecat: Aahh, not fair — my friends and I just take lots of pictures! I can't help them I'm in them all — at least I don't pose. (And I don't untag the ugly ones. Let everyone see the grotesque face I made at karaoke, I don't care!)

Hmm... what if you have a funny fb photo and lots of friends? Does that make you less narcissistic and possibly just...more awesome? Maybe? Hopefully...?

@librariesare4lovers: I think you're right - I don't think I encounter the same prejudice as an Indian woman as I might if I were a black or hispanic woman.

@Hamsterpants: - I just totally just said that (in a less funny way.)

@Archetype: Yep — the Model Minority notion at work.
