You guys, I am in love with a 12 year old girl. Her name is Tavi. She wrote the above about her voluminous outfit and Kevin Arnold.The volume thang makes me look wonderfully plump and fat, which I don't mind at all because there's no one at school to look attractive to for. When Kevin Arnold starts attending my middle school, then AND ONLY THEN will I resort to non-creepy, flattering outfits. MOVE OVER, WINNIE COOPER.
She's the best blogger on the internet. No joke. Everyone I know is obsessed with her. I've been passing emails and Facebook messages around about her for about 24 hours. Tavi, if you're out there and your parents will allow you to speak to me, I promise not to discuss anything with you that anyone would regret.
I think we can learn a lot from each other. I feel the same way about Kevin, but I'll definitely, DEFINITELY let you have him because I'm way too old for Fred Savage circa-The Wonder Years.
My duvet cover is in the dryer. I just took three Tylenol PM because I have a lot of sad feelings to try and sleep off. I don't want to get it now because I will undoubtedly run in to the gang members I can hear whisting at each other outside my window. I need to sleep, but my wonderful chocolate brown and powder blue duvet with suede details that I bought with what turned out to be my second-to-last check from Gawker ever might totally get stolen out of the dryer by the time I've woken from this OTC-induced coma.
What am I supposed to do? Why is my life so hard in a way that it sounds miserable and petty to complain about? Why does doing laundry emotionally drain me? What is the greater significance?
I bet you 100 bucks I'm getting my period within a week and I forgot. 100 dollars, internet. I'll be setting up a PayPal.
How embarrassing it must be to have one secret and this be it.

All of a sudden, I am seeing more and more people make outlandish statements against Obama in an attempt to "reclaim" being conservative and it honestly makes me sick. Men and women in their mid-20s thinking that they are being bold by coming out as Republicans or something. Ya know, like... opposite day shit. Flipping the switch on us, if you will.
It's unforgivable to me when I see women doing this. I would say that I hope they all get knocked up immediately after they have their abortion rights taken from them, but I know that for most of these broads, being forced to carry a child they aren't prepared financially or emotionally to take care of and marrying the father because it's the "right thing to do" would be more freeing than having to go out and do something with their lives that involve French's green bean casserole and cheap flatware. We raise them really strong here in the States, don't we?
I can't pretend that I spend my time reading up on every aspect of this election or politics in general. I don't. But I feel like I have a pretty fair sense of right and wrong and common decency, even if I don't always chose to display it. I don't think it's going to be possible to fix the problems we have in one presidential term or two or eight. It's going to take many, many decades to get us on track again (if we ever really were on track in the first place.) That being said, we can't stop our thinking beyond the next four years. If these all these pro-life types were really using their noggins, they'd perhaps ponder the fact that they are contributing to a society that all of these babies are going to have to live in well past our existence. I'd give Bush back the extra 600 bucks he gave me this year to ensure that my kid's kid's kid's kids will have a place to live and a means of employment, but maybe that's just my crazy lady-feelings talking.
