Greetings and Salutations from my usual study room. I was procrastinating with NewNew, Bend&Snap and Diplomatic Fashionista today and we ran across this disgusting trend on Facebook that must be addressed today. It is so appalling and gross - posting a picture of the pregnancy test to show that you are having a baby. You urinated on that and then waited 60 seconds and the first thing you wanted to do was take a picture when the second line appeared, or the space turned blue, or the words "pregnant". What is wrong with you nasty chicks? That is not "ratchet", it's gross. Simply stating that you are having a baby would be sufficient to put everyone on notice. No one needs to know that you went to the store and bought clear blue easy, brought it home, urinated on the stick after drinking two glasses of water, waited, and saw that. We can infer from a simple announcement that's you're pregnant that this might have happened. No need to show the world.
So anyone who is thinking about taking a pregnancy test, please Do. Not. Post. The. Test. just post the news. YUCK!!!! (by the way, NewNew de-friended two people behind this nasty madness. So if you halfway cherish half of your Facebook friends, don't do this. I will be following the footsteps of NewNew. Post a test, get de-friended because clearly we are not like-minded individuals)
Next...
Sending chain e-mails. I don't really think I need to elaborate, but this crap has been going on far too long. Just FYI, i delete them because it's obvious when it's a chain
And then...
Touching, without asking, the hair of natural women. Diplomatic and I were noting that people always want to touch our hair. It's just hair. Now I get it, you may to understand the Natural concept and the fact that all black people don't have the same kind of hair. And actually, that naturals can be really attractive and wild and sexy. But you don't need to touch it. I absolutely despise people who might have a mild association with me walking up and just touching my hair like I'm a dang dog. I am not. I am a woman. I have hair (ooh, surprise). And I think you need to keep your hands out of my hair. hair is a very intimate part of a woman's body. Unless I invite you to touch it, you ask and I feel like you don't have the plague on your fingers and give you permission to touch it, DON'T. Look and admire. Wish you had it. But don't touch it. Please and thank you.
that's all for right now from the girl next door. It's been just another day.

"imply stating that you are having a baby would be sufficient to put everyone on notice"... we know you're a law student! LOL! But back to the matter at hand... Did these girls not get the memo that one should wait until they reach the 3rd trimester to announce pregnancy to the world? She literally found out and after getting off of the toilet, posted a picture of her used test. SO UNCOUTH!
You love that lawyer speak don't ya?! lol. And yes, completely uncouth.
