@joannabobanna: I had Type 3 cervical cancer before I'd ever had sex. It was only my 17-year-old insistence that I have a pap smear 2 years after my first period, like Bitch magazine had advised me, that saved my life.

Why does Zahara have a mug shot?

She should be a character on Homestarrunner.

@anteup: Or as a potential cheater! Once I matured past, say, 22 years old, I really understood the adage of my sexuality being defined by who I was dating. I'm a serial monogamist—I'm just NOT a lesbian when I'm with a man, and vice versa.

I admit to being completely guilty of using whatever label my current (or potential) partner appears most comfortable with. It's like codependent labeling or something. I'll admit I'm a lesbian to a butch dyke, and admit I'm straight a month later to a conservative man. I don't know why I do it. it seems hard…

I wanted to write a book about this! "The Bad Girls' Guide to Getting Pregnant and Getting Rid of It."

Harlequin Hunks: the best part of BEA.

@stacyinbean: I do like watching the Kardashians, despite my skepticism. They are definitely more recession-friendly than some other reality celebs. But I won't tell you how long it took me to connect "Dash" with "Kardashian"..... :/

Sometimes I really wonder what it is Kris Kardashian instilled in her daughters before putting them to bed at night when they were little.

@RubyPenelope: I am going to integrate this compliment into Vermont ASAP. It's too cold here for skinny girls, anyway!

@RubyPenelope: Oooh want it. I'll go buy it. I agree—"curvy" and plus size are different. A bartender (girl) explained it to me the other day—I'm a size 6, I'm just a thick one.

Is it sad that I just spent 5 minutes trying to find the sexy underwear for curves they advertise on the cover? Noooo online articles at poor bust.com

Gaga's starting to remind me of Big Bird. It's comforting.

Could that top be this top [bit.ly] If so, love.

Oh, good. I'm a white girl who was born and raised in Connecticut and I was wondering when my magazine was going to be ready.

I have those boots! And love them.

Poor girl. Would a facelift even be a permanent solution though, if her fatty tissue continued to degrade?

Oh it's a cow! I thought it was a dauchsaund.

Wow. Katy Perry meets Lisa Frank at an Urban Outfitters in Key West in 1994. It's like my fourth grade alter ego got a magazine cover.

@fuerzabruta: I saw it while escaping Hampshire College, and felt like they'd made a movie about my life...and why my life needed to change.
