erica & joy do crappy hour.
erica: when do you know you should for sure take Plan B?Joy: ugh. I don’t know. I mean, I would take it at the first sign of trouble, but I am crazy
erica: fuck
Joy: I take a pregnancy test every month
erica: haha. I keep extras. just in case
Joy: … I take them even when I haven’t been having sex
erica: hahaha
Joy: because I am just that worried about getting preggers
erica: ok that is crazy. that is really crazy. how would you get pregnant without having sex?
Joy: Aside from the fact that I am perfectly capable of birthing the messiah? there’s a little story behind it…
erica: ok…
Joy: when I was in college our health services center would ALWAYS give us pregnancy tests. like, you could come in with a cut on your finger, ask for a band aid, and they would give you a pregnancy test because the baby might be trying to get out through your finger
erica: hahahah
Joy: like, seriously, all the time. which I think maybe makes me think its easier to get preggers than it is? anyway, on the 14th of every month I take a test.
erica: wow
Joy: even through that whole year where I was celibate.
Erica: wow
Joy: Its particularly funny when you’re dating someone and they find the test in your trash
erica: hahaha. Yes. I can imagine.
Your soapbox, I'm on it.
Watch me go off on my high horse over at feministing, trying to convince the repro rights world that we should rebrand ourselves as pro-life. This one is dedicated to joy.
I love her. Its true.
on being pro-life
Jeff: FYI: the domain name Obama Sebelius was purchased
Joy: many were, though
Jeff: just saying
Joy: thanks, it gives me hope
Jeff: isn’t she pro-life, though? At least, that’s what they say on the interwebz
Joy: well, Jeff, we are all pro-life. I mean, we all love life
Jeff: of course
Joy: it’s just that some people are anti-choice. Sebelius is not anti-choice. In fact, she has vetoed a lot of anti-choice legislation and advocated for better health care and access to birth control for women in Kansas. This whole “pro-life” label really annoys me: we all like life! I am a pro-life American!
Jeff: Except for me. I am pro-death. I eat fetuses. For nourishment. Just like Gene Hackman
Joy: Well, yes, you are soulless, though. Sebelius and I are not.
on typos
Joy: i have done shit today
erica: oh hon. I have been pithing
Joy: scrambling brains, really? I think this is the first time I am glad i don’t work in the ny office!
"Senator Byrd and I hope you'll join us in building a better America. Together, we can."

And this is pretty much how I’ll be spending the rest of my afternoon…
i just stopped "following" julia allison
I honestly couldn’t take the tumblr update pollution anymore. There hasn’t been a single thing in the last few weeks that has been remotely interesting so I just had to stop.
Sorry, internets.
Obama's running mate
I’m happy to announce that Radar has scooped the world.
HA HA, excellent. Got to love “fill-in-the-blank” journalism.
on true friends
Joy: I don’t know, I just think that I cant really escape my inner WASP. and he hates that about me
erica: haha, well he shouldn’t hate that. b/c it’s a part of who you are!
I like politics, eating good food and drinking half-a-glass of wine too much.
