Look at her and her cute bf! He's a pro breakdancer. Aww.
Without a doubt the book that had the biggest impact on my life was Changing Bodies, Changing Lives, which is basically the teenaged version of the infamous feminist book Our Bodies, Ourselves.
My mother gave me Changing Bodies, Changing Lives when I was 13, and it turned me into the most precocious, well-educated 100% virgin ever. At 14, I could tell you all about vas defrens, cowper's gland, and the clitoral hood. It would be years before I would have any opportunities to apply this knowledge, but it was awesome to be so empowered and well-educated during a time when many of my peers were still trying to figure out what was going on.
Growing up, I heard a lot of Drew Barrymore, but I think that's just body type and personality, really.
Currently, everyone's favorite seems to be Mena Suvari. I heard this most recently from a friend in LA who said, "You totally remind me of my friend Mena. YOU KNOW, MENA SUVARI."
..YOU KNOW.
Anyway, the connection is dubious, but perhaps if you squint, look at an old picture, and make it black and white, it could maybe work...we both have round faces and evil queen eyebrows, I guess. And if my friend's word is to be trusted, we're both spazzes.
PS: DO NOT MAKE FUN OF MY HAT. It was for a costume party I'd been to the night before this photo was taken. The photographer found it amusing.
Yes, it appears my vox is all about ... ME!!!!!! As opposed to electrolicious.com, which is also about ME! Anyway, enough about my blogging platforms. How about more about ME!? Here's me doing my best bloggerface. I am testing out my face without glasses, since I'm going to be getting LASIK in a few weeks and figure I should get used to the idea of me without facial furniture.
It's so rough being a minor internet celebrity. I got blogspotted at a party in the middle of the desert. This is me making fun of myself: NO PICTURES, NO PICTURES! Photo by my favorite stalker, seethrusound.
Really, I'd slap it down on a bathroom remodel, but that takes more than an hour. But I think I could buy my brother-in-law's biodeisel VW Golf in less than an hour. He's selling it and I want it but hel-loooo $20k?
