Hunh. Who Knew?

It's been ages since I've last posted, so I have some catching up to do, but first let me regale you with this little tidbit of information. Ladies, did you know you have a vestibule? I don't mean in your house (you may or may not; I personally do not), but on you. Kind of in you, actually (but not totally).

I went in today for my annual exam (men: that means I was at the gynecologist) and found myself sitting around the exam room/second waiting room, staring at the posters of cartoonish STDs and diagrams of the female anatomy when I spotted it smack dab in the middle of the vulva: the vestibule. It seems so welcoming, having a vestibule.

Instead of posting a picture of a vagina on my blog for everyone to look at when they visit (if you really want to see it), I've decided to post the definition (this was also brought on by my curiosity about whether this particular meaning of vestibule made it into my pre-installed Mac dictionary, which I'm proud to say it did. Go Mac!). Lo and behold, everyone has a vestibule! Men have three and women have four!

Here's the defintion:
vestibule |ˈvestəˌbyoōl| noun
1 an antechamber, hall, or lobby next to the outer door of a building.
• an enclosed entrance compartment in a railroad car.

2 Anatomy a chamber or channel communicating with or opening into another, in particular
• the central cavity of the labyrinth of the inner ear.
• the part of the mouth outside the teeth.
• the space in the vulva into which both the urethra and vagina open.

So there you have today's great discovery.

I still don't have a job. My dad sent me a link to an article talking about how some people get offered jobs because of their blogs (and some people get turned down because of them). This made me wonder:
a) Does my dad know about and read my blog and was this a not-so-subtle hint to be a little bit more intelligent on it (clearly failing miserably with today's post)? and
b) Do potential employers read my blog?

I think I've managed to remain fairly anonymous on here, so hopefully the answer to both questions is no. Part of me doesn't really care though. This blog is for fun and it doesn't affect my ability to work, so judging me on anything that I've written here is kind of silly (unless it's a positive judgment). Really nothing I do in my free time affects my work and if anything, this blog gives me some writing practice. So there. Hire me. Please. If you're reading this. I'm smart, organized, efficient, and super reliable. I swear.
