January 2009
Tonight:
1. Bitch Wine at Katelind and Justine’s. 2. $1 PBRs at Five Spot, where a jazz band played a cover of I Get So Lonely. 3. $3 drafts at Rope. 4. Home before midnight; feeling very, very old.
“In response to certain comments about the way I dress: Yes, there are going to be days when you will not like what I wear. But if you’re anything like me, there are very few things in this world that are that consistently cute anyway. Obvious exceptions include:
a. Puppies b. Kittens c. Bunnies d. Babies
And I’m really none of the above.”
- Lulu
Discussing 30 Rock:
Me: I know so many guys exactly like Frank. It's ridiculous.
Roommate: Wait, are you the one who thinks Twofer is hot, or is that someone else?
Me: Dude, Twofer is totally hot.

“To see a shark in your dream, indicates feelings of anger, hostility, and fierceness. You may be an emotional threat to yourself or to others. You may be going through a difficult, painful, or unpleasant emotional period. Alternatively, it represents a person whom you see as greedy and unscrupulous.

I’ve been reading this article bit by bit, mostly because I keep the magazine next to my toilet.
It only seems appropriate.
So I’m on Twitter now. It’s mostly for my job, but that doesn’t mean I still can’t hate myself a little bit.

Happy (early) New Year! The first day of the year is supposed to set the tone of the rest - according to the West, I’m going to be spending 2009 in a hungover afterglow. Instead, I’m going to pretend that the Eastern celebrations are already happening here (I mean, they are in actual China…) because I had a pretty awesome day today and wouldn’t mind another 364 of the same.
Sasha and Malia’s Big Night →
The Obama girls are probably still giddy over their fun-filled first night at the White House. Aides say that Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, had a sleepover party on Tuesday night with classmates from Sidwell Friends School, watched two movies – “High School Musical 3” and “Bolt” – and romped around the house in a scavenger hunt arranged by the White House staff. And the very best part? At the end of...

I had a really bad shift tonight and my coworker must have seen my stressed-out face because, out of the blue, he asked me what my favorite color was, disappeared for ten minutes, and then came back with two dozen yellow roses from the shop on the corner. Guys, if you ever wanted a foolproof way to make a girl’s night, that would be it.
What was your first job?
(via thebrewerpatriot)
Probably baby-sitting from when I was eleven on…having three younger brothers kind of makes it inevitable, especially when their friends’ parents find out.
My first “real” job was working as an office assistant for a local insurance agent. I was fifteen and would walk there after school every day and my dad, who worked in the same building, would...

9. Tumblr is cool for what it is, but if you have something to say that you truly believe to be profound or important, I would suggest saying it somewhere more deserving of such discourse. I doubt that Beethoven composed his best work in armpit farts (though I could very well be wrong about this)
