fully entrenched in jane austen geekdom by jamelah

The staff at Absolute Michigan reached an unanimous decision in our 3rd installment of our series, Blogs We Dig. Jamelah.net holds a special place in our hearts.

There's a couple things you need to know about the author before venturing over.

1. Jamelah has a tortured relationship with her hair.
   

   Well, if you had raging communism sprouting from your scalp, you'd have a tortured relationship with your hair, too.

2. Despite an affinity for Justin Timberlake, she'd rather have The Hustle make a return appearance instead of assisting Timberlake in Bringing Sexy Back.
   

   Yeah, Timberlake can handle the sexy, but when I think about myself, I realize that I am called to a higher purpose. I am called to handle the line dancing.

3. There's simply no one like her out there.
   

   I have a special place in my heart for the semicolon, Mr. Darcy and bitchin' Camaros.
   What more is there to say? I have defended the use of semicolons in more than one conversation, because I am a fan of pretentious punctuation. I love Mr. Darcy, be he portrayed in BBC film versions involving Colin Firth + lake, or in Jane Austen's razor-sharp prose (I am a hardcore Jane Austen geek). And really, show me a person who doesn't love bitchin' Camaros, and I will show you a person who has forgotten what it means to live.

4. This girl knows her mullets.
   

   I am well trained in the art of mullet-identification.
   You may think it's a simple matter of “business in the front, party in the back” but the truth is that it's a bit more complex than this and often incorporates mathematical analysis of the degrees of layering in a particular hairstyle. My mother and I recently had a debate about the mullet of a young lady we both know — I said “And then she showed up with a mullet” and she said “I thought it was a cute haircut” and I said “No, no, it's a mullet” — but it's best not to argue with me about such things because I'm a bit of an expert. A mulletologist, if you will.

If you can handle all of that, then you're going to have as much fun reading Jamelah.net as we do each day. Enjoy!
