Jessie’s Journal

I always try to be careful about the lyrics that I tweet on Twitter. People read too much into that stuff.

Jessie’s guide to eating fruit at the right temperatures: basically every fruit besides bananas should stay in the fridge for a tastier snack.

Tortillas are so mild that I could eat them all day every day.

There is no funnier insult than “Poopyhead”. I got the giggles just typing that.

In a state of utter boredom, I recently found myself googling the words “nail-biting” and was surprised at what I came up with. Nail biting is thought to be an addiction, a symptom of anxiety, or sometimes even a form of self-mutilation, meaning they are in the same category as wrist cutting. Isn’t that awful? Maybe you should get your finger out of your mouth and try and figure out what’s really going on inside. One of the suggested methods of stopping this habit was to apply a bitter-tasting polish to your nails, but maybe shake it up a bit by applying maple syrup to your nails so instead of biting them you can just lick on them with gusto.

I completely resent babies- their utter lack of responsibility, the way they cry at restaurants, the way they’re allowed to be naked in public.

I don’t understand why biting and pulling hair is considered “dirty fighting”. After all, it is more effective and painful than throwing punches.

It is important to expose yourself to new ways of life and different kinds of people, but sometimes those ways of life and people are just weird and unusual so that’s unpleasant.

Don’t contradict what I say in an adjacent school newspaper article. It’s annoying and hurts my feelings:(
