Happy New Years Day Jezzies! I spent yesterday evening at the restaurant where I work, waiting on tables of well-dressed people ordering drinks and getting excited for their parties. Midnight rolled around, and I was scrubbing lobster bisque out of carpet.

@AnalogTelevision: My boyfriend of nearly 6 years broke up with me a little over a year ago. I remember crying and telling my mom, "Things are just so bleak right now." The shock and depression were debilitating. Things get better, I promise. I'm almost totally over it at this point, and generally think that a new…

@Blodwynn: About six months ago, I realized that ALL of my facebook pictures were the funny "ugly" pictures you take with friends - funny faces, awkward poses, embarrassing situations, that sort of thing. My sister, social butterfly queen, gave me a "FB makeover"...she untagged lots of pics, and added nice ones. …

@pizza_pizza_tata: I remember being really freaked out when I first started commenting. So glad you're a part of the community!

@duetoprivacy: I am ALL OVER crying to Damien Rice. Also Ray Lamontagne. But yea, DAMIEN. Not only do I cry from beginning to end during the albums, I saw him live and BAWLED the entire time.

@erinna: I'm going to try to work out more as well, and take care of myself - like take my medicines consistently and correctly, and stick with healthy activities and eating. 2009 was a rough one for me, and I'm looking for 2010 to be better. [:

@Casquivana: I listen to terribly depressing music when I'm depressed. It just makes me feel worse. I don't know why I do it.

@spiraloflife: Congratulations!!! Engineering is RIDIC hard. Jezepride abounds!

@toadaleh: oooh that's totally what i'm looking for! perfect thanks so much!

@Maharani: @jen002 Thanks for the tips! I like the color a lot, it's just that the lighter red parts are a little orangey...I'll do the black tea/lime addition to cut that out hopefully.

Does anyone have experience dyeing their hairs with henna? I did mine yesterday and really like the color, but want it a bit darker. If I just use the rest of the henna paste that I made for another treatment, will it make my hair darker?

@HannahBethD: My baby cousin is in LOVE with me, like totes obsessed and asks for me constantly and could play with me for hours. I love her to death (seriously cutest kid ever), but I CANNOT PLAY ZOO ANIMALS AND BARBIES ANYMORE.

@Cookie Dough Monster: Go for it! Just wear sweats. I love wearing sweats to the movies, so comfy. Put a headband on, like NellMood said, and just be shabby chic for the evening. [:

@thelizisawesome: I just took it!

Literally been home for six days and cannot WAIT for the motherfucking semester to start so I can go back to school. I love my fam and everything, but...just UGHH.

@deitybox: I grew up Muslim but am now an atheist. I feel the same way - my family and I always got to enjoy things like decorations and joyful spirits and shit, without the stress of the kids finding out Santa isn't real, or going broke getting the perfect gift for my third cousin twice removed or whatever.

MJB why are you doing this to me?! Not cool, girlfriend, NOT. COOL.

Oh...oh, hello there. I didn't know you were dropping in...sorry I'm just in my sweats on the couch. But it's quite alright, just take your coat off and let's snuggle.

Two words for the early-oo's: Butterfly. Clips. I used to wear like TWENTY in my hair everyday, with sparkles and free-moving wings that jiggled and my hair was pulled SO TIGHT I'd get headaches but I refused to take them out. Sigh.

@lafleur: I've seen Rihanna live and she was terrible. She would turn her head away from the mic evvvvery time she had to hold a note, so that it wouldn't be so obvious (?) that she couldn't sing. It was pretty sad.
