Poor Messica. She's spent the last week or so doing her Year In Review posts, the better to highlight how far and quickly she's fallen. Today she posted October, and added this poignant paragraph to her jeans and sweatshirts montage: October was another month full of memories for me.  We took our honeymoon in Iceland, came home and moved to Indiana four days later. And I couldn’t be happier about it.  It seems strange, but living in a smaller town has been really inspiring for me. I feel at home in my own skin. Does that make sense? You can...

Scary Randolph, who's been spending most her life living in a gangster's paradise, is proud to announce she thugs: CR: I thug on a regular basis. EVG: Do you even know what "thug" means? CR: I know what it means to be a thug, but the verb eludes me. EVG: It means never having to say you're sorry. Duh.

Sigh. Emily of Emphasis Added, professional humblebragger, seems to be trying to understand gay marriage by asking "So, which one of you is the girl?"
