Feminism ...
"There is a simple test to find out if a woman is sexist. If they see the phrase white power as racist, ask if they find the phrase girl power sexist. Get them to justify the discrepancy."

Growing up ...
You are watching Top Gear with your brother and James May cracks a very dirty but extremely subtle sex joke. You look sideways at him, wondering if he is laughing just because everyone else is. But you also really wish he got it. And you don't know whether to feel relieved because of the former or a strange pride because of the latter.
That is me.
That is me.

The key
To Whomsoever it may concern,
This is something I had to come up with very last minute and very hurriedly, so please forgive the extreme lameness.
But what went inside is really from the heart.
Happy Birthday.

Update
Sometimes it is just so hard to state the obvious.
(and I do not mean the answer to 'Does this dress make me look fat?')
But you chip away at the matter, careful to only take it away piece by piece, hoping, trying to avoid the big blow. But sometimes, that is not always the best strategy.
The flip side is that one really can't be sure which was the way to go until you look back after its all over.
I, however have shifted the thinking a little. Decided to give it a push. Let's see how it goes.
In other news, I find the Sony Ericsson default ringtone more than a little irritating these days.

I don't think proof reading is a dying art.
