Thanks for sharing my excitement, Jezzies! #Groupthink
Can I brag for a second? I just got awesome news, and my mom won't answer her phone and let me share it. (Anniversary trip to the mountains? Come on, Mom, focus on me, here.)
My friend and I graduated a year ago after attending college close to our hometown, and then worked in our hometown until a month ago. We packed up my car, drove across the country to a new (awesome!) city without jobs or friends waiting for us. We found a nice apartment after a week, and I just got my dream job. We left exactly a month ago today, and I'm amazed that everything fell into place. And so excited!
Thanks for letting me get that out, Jezzies. #Groupthink

Do you have anything that could be that awesome dress Sigourney Weaver wears with the giant shoulder pads?
She's Stevie Nicks and I'm Lara Croft. We just moved to a new city, so tonight is kind of our night to make some new friends (and "friends").
Listening to my roommate's playlist featuring Ke$ha and Robyn (forreal, y'all, Robyn's new album is amazing), so I'm happy.
I hope you've got some Ramen or bottom shelf liqour handy as a grad student prop.

My roommate and I are blasting Ke$ha while drinking and getting ready for tonight's Halloween party. I'm sure our neighbors upstairs love us.
Anyone else have exciting Halloween plans? Exciting costumes?

Michele Bachmann doesn't deserve to be a Trivial Pursuit answer.
I've been under the impression that, while they say they don't want to cause patients undue stress, it's more an insurance issue. I was told that decreasing medical costs were the reason behind the change in recommended pap smear frequencies, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a similar motivation behind this.
Thanks!! Yes, there are many mixed feelings, but a friend and I committed to doing this together so we can't back out. #Groupthink

I finally made the decision to quit my awful job that's been horrible for the past year and a half and move away from the city I grew up in. I've been alternating between being psyched and scared for the past month, but as I clean out my desk tonight (last day tomorrow!), I'm on the verge of tears.
Why? I don't know. I can't remember the last time I was so excited when I turned in my resignation. Ugh.
And it's only 5:30; people are still here! Unpinning things from the board behind my desk really choked me up, though. #Groupthink

The intentional controversy never occurred to me until just now.
There's always room for more here!

Ok, sorry for the open thread/groupthink cross post. This is the last time, I just wanted people to see.
I've been thinking of putting this together for a while, and with the support of some very nice Jezzies, I'm going to put out a call and get it started.
I'd really like to do a compilation of women's stories about experiences with sexuality and sexual experiences for girls. There's such a saturation in the media of what things should be like, and I feel like there's not a lot of honest talk about it (not widespread honest talk, at least. Jezebel is the exception). I've talked with a group of girlfriends about our experiences, and it seems like everyone had a personal, meaningful, story to impart. I'd love to be able to put everything together as a sort of road map for girls that are entering that territory that don't have any basis or guidance (like a mother's, sister's, or friend's story). My group of friends comes from a fairly homogeneous background, so I'd really love to get viewpoints and contributions from a variety of women. What it comes down to is assembling something to give girls an idea of sexual discovery as it happens, not as it's "supposed to happen."
So here's my call for help. If there's anyone that might be interested in sharing their stories (or publishing expertise? I've never published before), please let me know. I think doing this someplace other than a message board might be easiest, so possibly email? If you're interested, I can pm you my email address and we can start getting this together.

Great, thanks! I posted something over in groupthink so I'm not threadjacking here.

Would you like to contribute? I've written up some of my experiences, but I have yet to solicit anyone else's.
Thanks for the encouragement!
I'm sorry if this is slightly OT, but this series and recent talks with good girlfriends have gotten me thinking.
Do you think this sort of open discussion about sexuality and sexual encounters would be good for girls just starting to encounter this? I've been thinking about collecting experiences about this sort of thing (before I saw these posts) from a variety of women as a sort of guide (but that's not the right word, handbook?) for younger girls so they know there's not one right way for these things to happen.
Worthwhile idea?

@therealgoogle: Sorry to disappoint, although that would have really added to the story. I don't think I'd be able to eat anything processed again after that.
