Hey Did You See That Redesign – I Mean Comment Award?

Hi! Notice anything different around here? We redecorated for 2011. You know what else? Haviland and her “backing band” created a song out of one of Riese’s old poems. You might want to find a way to get that on your ipod.

This week we also gave you the best/worst of everything in 2010 which includes pictures of everyone as cats, so. Also here are the top ten sweatpants you should be wearing (hint: university sweatpants are the best! I’m wearing some right now). In fact, I’d say 85% of my life is spent wearing sweatpants.

DeAnne Smith is back with fears of a lesbian invasion and also invites you to share your favourite “academic” word!

Emily

Emily Choo started as an intern with Autostraddle when she was 18 years old. She's now 10 years older and lives in Toronto with her partner and cat. The defining moment of her career was when Riese said this about her: " I think Emily Choo is a very bright, 'poetically inclined' girl who pays attention to everything and knows almost everything (the point of stuff, how to read, how beautiful things feel, how scary things feel, etc.) but doesn't believe/accept/realize yet that she knows almost everything." She still doesn't believe she knows anything, so, thank you, Riese, for that.

Emily has written 100 articles for us.

      • broski, darling, dearest smartyp.: Imma reply to you asap but I gotta have lunch first. freaking famished. expect an email by 2:30 EST because I’m prompt as fuck, obvs.

    • @e

      easy girl, deep slow breaths–
      and when I say head between your knees I mean your own! not hers!

      • I think im ok. There were too many people at this restraunt and I couldn’t breathe and my mom was yelling. I ran out.

        Smartypants, I emailed you yesterday. Please respond :)

    • at the award ceremony we also hand out free brown bags for hyperventilating, also to hide your alcohol in.

  2. autostraddle team: i haven’t said so yet because i thought there would be a post about it, but I LOVE THE REDESIGN. i normally hate change but this was sweet

  3. Whenever I look through the comments it feels like almost everyone is in a secret club that I’m not part of because I’m not witty enough.

    • I think we all feel that way.
      You are pretty awesome, through, because you’re here, most probably queer and let’s just have a party. I love you.

    • I like to think I make up for my lack of wittiness with love and kisses. You can too! it will be a party. we can make a fort! it will be a super special cuddly homogayrainbowfort filled made of flannel and giggles and soft things and bad puns.

      perhaps this is what autostraddle is truly about.

        • FORT! I haven’t had a fort in way too long. Except when I was part of one made out of people last month. Anyway, I’ll be in the fort. With Dani’s cookies.

    • all you have to do is say something about harry potter and you’re like 99% guaranteed to get an award.

      • It’s true. Also, Canada. If you can put them together Emily’s heart will explode with happiness.

  4. Speaking of the redesign… it is pretty and all, but is anyone else having trouble with finding things in searches?
