My First Prom
April 16, 2009 • Uncategorized • Comments
When I tell people that I never went to my Prom, I generally get responses like “what, you couldn’t get a date?” or “oh, so you were too cool for school?” Neither was the case really, I just had an older boyfriend who was wayyyyyyy to cool to attend a glorified school dance once he’d graduated from high school. So, instead of getting glammed up, dining at Applebee’s and drinking myself pregnant, I skipped it to instead go to a Run DMC Concert with the older kids in Fargo, ND.
I’m not kidding.
So, when my bff Jackie (did I just say bff? eww, I feel like I’m a retarded 14 year old) asked if I’d let her style me for a Prom thingy that Lord & Taylor had asked her to do (alongside fellow fashion bloggers Wendy of Nitrolicious and Chelsea of Pink Rock Candy), I was in to it.
They basically let us loose in the store to pick out dresses, shoes, jewelry and get our makeup done. It was like Supermarket Sweep, minus those huge, ultra expensive blocks of cheese and we didn’t have to weigh out exactly one pound of candy. Also, I guess we didn’t get to keep anything at the end. But hey, it was still fun.
Jackie dressed me in this empire waist gown that was sorta Bohemian and sorta Grecian at the same time. And cuffs, lots of cuffs. If you know Jack, you know she loves her some cuffs. Anyway, in the end, I think she did a pretty damn good job with my look.
One question though, wasn’t I supposed to get drunk on wine coolers or some type of Pucker at least?
I sort love this pic. Check out the rest of the Prom goodness on my Flickr

Me: Nope, just going home.

Roe v. North Dakota (a rant)
February 19, 2009 • Uncategorized • Comments
ND legislature is pushing to pass a bill that gives constitutional rights to an embryo. The bill has already passed through the House and will now go before the Senate. In other words, abortion could be charged as murder.
Seriously.
What I’d like to know is what other civil liberties this grants the fetus… Does the mother now have the right to vote twice? Or better yet, warrants required to conduct an ultrasound! At least fetuses would no longer be denied the right to bear arms.
The “Personhood” bill was introduced by Republican Dan Ruby of Minot (*le sigh…), who said he thinks it will put North Dakota on the map as being the first state in years to legitimately challenge Roe v. Wade. Yeah Ruby, good thinking. Instead of riding slightly under the radar and enjoying a quiet and happy existence, let’s make the state known for being the most ass backwards in the country. Texas, looks like you’re off the hook!
Okay, so what about the cases of rape, incest or endangerment to the mother? Perhaps authorities will so sympathetic as to reduce the charges from murder to manslaughter. And really, it’s not like rape has historically been hard to prosecute/prove… It won’t at all be difficult for a woman who falls pregnant because of a rape to defend herself against murder charges in an already trying time. It’s not like that could ever get tied up in court for, say, 9 months… “Ooops, too late! Deal with it.”
Ugh, I’ve never been embarrassed of where I come from until today. And no, I’m not “pro-abortion”; I’m pro-choice, pro-logic, pro-21st century. Fuck you very much, North Dakota, for raising and educating me enough to know how ridiculous this bill is.
