gender identity develops as early as 3 or 4 years old, but personality stars to emerge even earlier. calling herself transgendered is likely a result of her parents explaining to her what being trans means, otherwise she would say things like, "i look like a boy but really i'm a girl."

i don't know, i could really draw hearts until seventh grade or so. it takes practice.

it's pretty consistent with the handwriting of the fifth graders i work with, male and female alike.

for a six or seven year old it's kind of cute, but at 11 it's definitely obnoxious.

eh, it's possible the family was already vegetarian and she made the jump to vegan. it's a healthy diet if you know how to balance it properly. i switched to vegetarian at 9, and since my family didn't eat a whole lot of meat to begin with it wasn't really a big deal.

i've been applying roughly the same technique to dieting, exercising and keeping my apartment clean. it's super helpful.

haha, apreciated.

i may be delusional, but i do have a satin dress with a lot of draping/ruching that looks pretty phenomenal. otherwise i agree with you.

i found that cutting back is a lot easier than quitting. i started out with no smoking before noon, then 1pm and so forth. then i moved into a new apartment and banned smoking inside it, then no smoking in my car. once i say, "that's it, no more cigarettes ever!" i panic and want to smoke a whole pack, but if i frame…

brb, gonna go get me some peen!

outstanding.

ugh, a little. i can never seem to fully quit, but i've cut back to just one or two a week. is that close enough?

i want the hot pink outfit so much.

is there a correct way to do this? aesthetically i think the bright colors look amazing against their skin tones, and the whole thing is whimsical and pretty. but politically it doesn't sit right, and the baby doll on her back is awful. when does diversity stop looking like tokenism?

clearly we're going to have to do this 90's style and get a white kid, a black kid, a hispanic kid, and asian and an indian. it's the only way.

damn. i was really feeling good about my hair today.

i think some relationships are just like that. they run their course, no one really did anything wrong, it's just not going anywhere.

so...i started dating this guy when i was 18. right before we turned 20, we realized things were way to serious between us and we weren't ready for being hugely commited to each other and we wanted some time to do our own things. so we broke up. we still hung out semi-regularly, we still hooked up sometimes, and even…

agreed.

because people are just scrambling to elect minorities! that's why we have so many of them in positions of power!
