I was soooo scared to get my ears pierced. I waited til I was 15. The pain was so slight I went back to Claire's and got second holes, after getting my Orange Julius of course. 9 years later, I have 9 tattoos and have had 8 additional piercings. I still faint when I get blood drawn, though. Gross, I hate blood.

I have been teaching for a total of 7 days. I've already called kids out on using the words "gay", "retard", "retarded" and even "jigaboo". Kids are cruel. And I am sad that I once was a kid.

Wherever you live, I am moving there. I will only own gingham dresses and my purse will be a basket. For real.

Today I:

I alway wish that my fair would be like I imagine, like pie contests and stuff. I dropped $20 for two people last year, and we spent a total of 20 minutes there. It was a sad, sad thing. We actually had to report one booth for mistreating their buffalo (no shade, no water). Oklahoma fairs should be fun and stuff, but…

Leinkugel's ————-: favorite beer. Summer Shandies are favorites. But oh, Sunset Wheat! Yum. Fruity Pebbles.

I just searched "brown tea length vintage" and then pared it down from there. I looked at Modcloth too, but nothing struck my fancy.

This is what I know from dancing pointe, where you need to break in the shoes before you dance. With your hands, bend the front part of the shoe (where your toes and ball of your foot go) back and forth, as thought you were walking. Also, wear them while you are doing your normal house chore things. I clean my house…

Lucky for me (or not? I'm indifferent), I have no boobs! I always use tape with strapless gowns or even weird shirts (as a teacher I have to watch out for potential missteps). I am 6' and a size two, so I think it won't look too bad on me (I hope!). We'll see.

For realz. She is the. best. I'm scared to say it because it might change, but she may beat Tina Fey for awesomeness.

I've almost always been anti-stapless, but now that I have extensive tattoos including in places where straps go, I feel like in photos they'll look better not cut off.

I'm kinda thinking the same thing. Two "wedding" dresses for less than $250? Yeaaaaah.

Thanks! Me too, the other would be great for summer parties though. Also, I love your name. I'm a Spanish teacher, and llamas are my favorite animals (Along with capiberas.)!

I just bought two wedding dresses! Eep! Both are from Etsy, and combined it's less that $250, so that's not too bad. I figure if I can't return one, they're so casual I can wear them to a party or something.

I know this tortise's owner! Yes, it's a tortise, not a turtle. His name is Kevin. He also has a facebook page.

Awww cats on the prowl. My youngest of 5 hasn't learned how to properly meow or chirp, so his hunting noises sound like a creaky door. It's way cute. Also, he like flys and stuff, but every time my fiance or I leave the bathroom, he goes dumpster diving for Q-Tips. I guess he really hates Q-Tips, or really loves ear…

I would be WAY PISSED. You are in the right, he is in the wrong. But, I don't know how to fix this. I am just giving you permission to be more than slightly pissed.

Excellent! I always faint when I get blood drawn (seriously, all my docs know that I have to lay down during tests), but for some reason I have 9 tattoos and have had 12 piercings, but piercings don't bother me too much. I guess because it's elective. I got my nose re-pierced a few months ago by myself, and I felt so…

MSNBC.

I hope this is the only event my kids ask about in terms of where I was, like I did to my mom about the Kennedy assasination.
