I've also been more active on Twitter this week. I've always had a Twitter presence, but I've treated it like my bastard child while Facebook was my favorite. The tide is turning. Zuck and his friends are pissing me off because they are limiting my reach. I'm hearing from many of you who are no longer seeing me in your newsfeed, which is really uncool when you've elected to subscribe to my updates. I've been using Twitter a lot to connect with other people who are attending BlogHer '12. If you're planning on being there, I'd love to meet you, so please tweet me and let me know. Or better yet, go to the message boards and join the thread about BlogHer '12.
I've also been looking for just the right pair of cargo pants to wear to the Friends Party on June 21. I'm looking forward to attending the Overland Park event. If you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, read this and then sign up. If you're the one taking charge of a local event, please create a thread on the message boards. This will be sooo much easier to plan and discuss your event.
There's a theme here. Are you getting it? Go to the message boards and use them. It will make your life so much better.

John Mayer - One word: douche.
Me - Because I Don't Want a Dog - There were many compelling arguments in the comments as to why I should have a dog, but in the end the answer is still "No."
Yes Day - Still hasn't happened. I might take the advice I saw crop up a lot about not telling them it's Yes Day until it's over.
50 Shades of Grey - PIWTPITT Review - I asked for some book suggestions on Facebook the other night and got loads (thank you), but 50 Shades of Grey just kept popping up and it made me realize that many of you had not seen my fabulous book review, so I reposted it.

Yes, I am not down with earning the "In The Butt" bag either. Negatory. I guess that's why I have the "Half-Hearted Hand Job during Letterman" bag from Marshall's. *sigh* on Wrap Up 6.4.12
Haters gonna hate...Meyer has nailed every hot piece of ass in Hollywood...good for you bro. Swag for days, you be you, and f the haters. on John Mayer
I saw this comment come through and was mildly amused, but I quickly realized I would not need to address it, because the awesome Sarah was on it:
John Mayer! I didn't know you read Jenn's blog! Way to throw us off by spelling your name wrong... but only douche bags use the word swag. You gave it away! on John Mayer
Hands down, this is what I love most about my readers. They are funny as hell.
Crying. Holding my sides. Had to pull over while driving to finish reading (guess I should've done that in the first place). Your last line is my new line for 2012. You Are Hilarious! on John Mayer
While I appreciate that you never want to miss a word that I've written, PLEASE ALWAYS pull over to read. OK, I'm done being your mother now.
Attacking Taylor Swift is like punching a kitten. Have we learned nothing from Kanye? I mean, pretty much nothing, but at least that. on John Mayer
He's like the leader of all the douchebag guys out there. He's like Captain Douche Canoe, I bet they have a secret handshake. on John Mayer
I'm a dog lover, I trained police dogs for a living before I had children. I'd like to support your 'no dog' rule. Only for one reason, if you're not ready and wanting a dog, then it's best you don't. Just like children, unless you really want a baby, they are always going to be more trouble then you can expect. on Me - Because I Don't Want a Dog
My mom raised us the same way! Grandma accidentally taught my oldest to say "damn dog" accidentally at a very young age. I still do not have a dog and hubby is on board BECAUSE he came from a dog home. Yes he was jealous of the treatment the dogs got. There were times MIL would brown hamburger for the dogs and tell him to eat lunch meat out of the fridge. on Me - Because I Don't Want a Dog
I'm 30 and still begging for a dog... only now it's my husband. You would think I have some womanly prowess that I could use on him. NOTHING WORKS!!!!!! He feels the same way you do -they're "sheddy." Good Luck & God Speed Adolpha... I feel your pain girl. on Me - Because I Don't Want a Dog
I think my husband would be more excited about the prospect of a Yes Day than my kid would be... on Yes Day
ok fucktards, has it ever occurred to you that there are some people in this world who are not able to have children and maybe that is why they treat their pets like their babies? Has it occurred to you that not all of us want disgusting children to worship like you psychos do? Shouldn't you be up little junior's ass right now instead of on here? I mean that is what parents of human children do these days they bow down and worship the little shitheads that they created. GET THIS: I'M NOT HAVING KIDS EVER BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO NOT GET KNOCKED UP, unlike you idiots. Half of you didn't want the brats you got stuck with, and now you are judging people who didn't have kids because you are jealous that they have the time and money that you wish you did to piss away on whatever we want. on Dog Pedicures
Of course it has occurred to me that there are people out there who can't get pregnant. In fact, I know a several people like that. It doesn't sound like you're one of those people. The people I know who struggle to get pregnant would never call a kid disgusting or a shithead. The people I know who struggle to get pregnant would look into every option they have to get a child - a human - not a dog, because they know that a dog isn't the same. I'm glad you know how not to get knocked up, because it sounds like you hate children and you'd be a terrible mother. And for the last time, I am so tired of hearing how "jealous" I am of everything. I'm not jealous. I'm just pointing out dumb things people do. I point my finger all the time at dumb people, but no one gets their hackles up more than combination dog lover/child haters. Take a fucking Xanax and calm down. Go paint your dogs' nails, I'm sure it's very soothing for you, you twit.
