the thing about tampons (a.k.a. if you’re a guy you should probably just stop reading now)

I’ve been meaning to write about this for a few weeks now, but I kept forgetting until I had this conversation last night. So anyway, here it is: my thoughts about Tampax Pearl.
I was always a Playtex girl, because environmentally conscious as I may endeavor to be, I just can’t deal with cardboard applicators. But […]

admittedly…

Okay, it’s no ass clap or anything, but here you go…
Things I actually say to Caryn:
jamelah (9:07:54 PM): and i really need to update my blog
firecracker (9:08:04 PM): yeah you keep saying that
jamelah (9:08:17 PM): but all i have to say is that today i said “chris cornell… yeah, when i was younger, i totally […]

i’m just saying

You know when you wake up and the only thought running through your brain is this lyrical snippet: “He zaid that it waz from when the carz had zmazhed zoooo haaarrrrd. Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmm. Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm,” that remembering your dreams is probably highly overrated.

Tonight I went out for a belated birthday dinner with my friend Stacy, where we had fajitas, wore birthday hats, and scandalized my mom and our friend Sandee by saying things like “And then we took pictures of ourselves in sexual positions with the penis-shaped things sticking out of the cement, which is just another […]

if i were to write in paragraph form, these ideas would be more than numbered list items
