It’s late and I worked all day today so I don’t feel like thinking in paragraphs. Instead, I’m just going to fill in the blanks on this here meme thing and call it a day.
1) My uncle once: was in the military.
2) Never in my life: have I driven to Mexico.
3) When I was […]

This morning, I came across a site called MichiganNative.com, which contains the the Michigan accent pronunciation guide, which is, I have to say, pretty amusing. Though I don’t fit the profile entirely (I don’t say “melk” instead of “milk” and I actually knew a girl who did this and I thought it was really […]

Today, my chiropractor explained to me that my neverending headache is due to the fact that my top vertebrae (vertebra?) is stabbing the base of my skull, but it’s a fixable problem. Presumably, the method of fixing this is to have him turn my head around exorcist-style, so that all the bones in my […]

Maybe it was after I spilled yogurt on my shirt, or perhaps it was when I found out that the insurance company would be happy to cover my medical costs after I’d already spent $500 (and there’s no way having to go to the chiropractor a few times is going to cost $500), or it […]

I’m sitting here (but not Just Sitting Here) drinking a large glass of milk in an attempt to trick my stomach into realizing that it is my stomach and not the fiery pits of Hell, and watching it snow. Because it is April 23, so logically, it would be snowing. (Feh!) As […]

I think I might be a little bit drunk right now, which means that it’s a GREAT time to write something here. It’s better than sending out the drunk e-mails I quit writing after the time I told this boy I had a crush on that my grandma said he was handsome. (Well, […]

Eh, why not?

I decided that with all of this interview madness going around (because trust me, there is madness, and it has to do with interviews), it was a good time for me to interview myself. Because I have a lot of things to ask me about, um, things.
Onward.
Q: Jamelah, it’s a real honor to be able […]
