This is going to be epic!
This began on an airplane to California.
I allow myself to indulge in terrible magazines while I fly. The trip cross-country meant a lot of time reading a lot of trash.
Nothing was out of the ordinary until I hit upon this list.
“50 Great Things to do With Your Breasts”
I loved it. It was…
A reader from outside Cleveland wrote to me today and asked me if I ever felt insecure about myself around other girls. You know, being a funny tiny human who makes jokes all the time and spends her time eating hummus instead of preparing my bikini body for the bikin-ocalypse, she wondered if this…

Ali and I started up another project to keep ourselves busy. This latest blog is an attempt to showcase the new skills that I have been working on. I may not be any further a head in my career development, but I have been working hard to become a somewhat not too terrible cook. Ali had a pretty good head start on me, but has also recently found herself with a lot of free time and not a lot money. The solution? Afternoons spent cooking and evenings spent baking. You can follow our mis-adventures in the kitchen at lumberjackbreakfast.tumblr.com.
My second attempt at caramelizing onions took place last night. Things I had in my fridge?
- One large onion
- Leftover steak (leftover is a theme in a lot of my cooking)
- Several types of cheese
- Lettuce on it’s last legs
This is what came out:
I had spent yesterday afternoon making…

Holy shit, someone actually wrote this on an assignment? Amazing. I can’t imagine being the TA who read it, paused, read it again, and then had to grade it. Hilarious.
Like I said in the introduction, Planned Parenthood has affected me directly. Knowing from doctors telling me in the past and friends encouraging me, I knew after I lost my virginity I should go in for an annual. I scheduled at the campus clinic and the test results came back fine and I went on…

| Breanna: | Add to that that the title of one of the Globe's fashion articles is "the future of fashion looks white (denim that is)" and life really is worth crying over. White denim? No. |
| Ali: | UGH. It started last summer. As a girl with hips, no. No no no no. |
| Breanna: | Everywhere I look I see people dressed all in white. White denim and white top? No. Absolutely not. You look like a tampon. |
Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.

I made you drink bourbon at lunch today, because it’s Mother’s Day and you should relax. I realize that you never really drink it, I have no idea how you raised a daughter who likes it so much, and I appreciate that you usually laugh this off. Sometimes you worry about how much I like it, but…
BAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAA!!!
Oh god, too funny. Oh how the world can change in a few years. This was the average earnings in 2007 of 2005 graduates. I can guarantee you those numbers will look a whole lot different for those who graduated post-2008. 60k… that would be nice.
