On teenage pregnancy, wrinkle cream & vacation cards

March 23rd, 2009 in 20something, beauty can get ugly, blogs, confession of the day, house fire incident of 2005, I'm scared to see the search engine results to this, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it makes sense to me, it's a long one (twss), italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, learning, life lesson, lists, Oh Canada!, the last line is my favourite, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the secret project, this is where I grew up, you're skimming this one

Obama equals change. 40 is the new 30.  Iphones make you cool, not recycling equals polar bear murder, drinking beer will always mean you get the hot blonde in minimal clothing.
