Yearbook Yourself

by Jillian @ http://blueshelled.com . July 31, 2009 . 10:09AM

Ok, everyone’s doing it and being the lemming that I am, I jumped off the freaking cliff. I yearbooked myself. This happened Tuesday night as it was 11:48 pm and I was waiting for the 12 am woot to come up. What? You never know when it will be the bag o’crap?!

So, anyway, I was bored and Leon was sleeping. A.J. was sleeping. The dogs were sleeping. I had insomnia and a woot was coming! So, I gave in. I am ashamed.

In my defense, I was BORED. There was NOTHING GOING ON. It was TUESDAY NIGHT.

*mumbling to herself like a crazed woman who just wants some milk duds*

That doesn’t mean you don’t get to see how I’d look through the ages. I. am. smokin hot.

Look, I know some people think I couldn’t pull off 1994. Here’s why I can: the facial hair. I think it compliments my eyes.

As you can see, I age pretty well. I think I had a couple of these styles, but there is not a chance that I’m going to tell you which ones of them they are. I couldn’t post ALL of my pictures from yearbookyourself, because there were a ton of them and this post is already picture intensive, but you get the hint.

For the record, the woot was cheapie noise activating headphones. *sigh* No bag o’ crap that day, folks, but totally worth the time spent to mess with the toy.

Can you get pregnant from swimming in a pool?

by Jillian @ http://blueshelled.com . July 30, 2009 . 1:23PM

A Polish woman is suing an Egyptian hotel because she says her 13-year old daughter got pregnant while swimming in its sperm-infested waters.

Whoops.

Someone is in trouuuuuubleeeeeeee.

I can’t figure out if it’s because she should be scared that she has poor intellectual genes or that she is now the proud winner of a hard life at the age of 13 years for an ill-informed decision made by her hormones. Either way, she’s got her mom, smart or not, wrapped around her finger.

Sweetie, if swimming in a pool could get you pregnant, women everywhere would be using that excuse like WOAH.

I feel bad for the girl, who may honestly believe it’s true now. Yes, it’s a naive thought, but I try to see the best in people. WE KNOW something takes place to get someone pregnant. At 13, and in another, less-sexualized country, we don’t know how much SHE knows.

I DON’T feel bad for her mom, who is clearly an idiot.

I DON’T feel bad for the lawyer who is going to get smacked for a frivolous lawsuit.

Am I wrong that I’m just incredibly thankful that this story, for once, took place outside of the United States?
