Sometimes I don't understand Facebook. Why do...
That person is clearly friends with Francie Rostov (otherwise why would she comment on her status update?) so why don’t they just tell you “Kristie Von Hastenborg (friends with Francie Rostov) also commented on her Status Update”? Why does Elven have to be involved at all? Elven didn’t comment on Francie’s Status Update, Elven didn’t “Like”...

Apparently Mother Nature has decided that it will...
So today I slept in my cocoon of down until about twelve thirty and I have been watching episodes of Psych for most of the afternoon. Because its snowing and that’s a fucking shame.

I am also inclined to get a basic black with white piping:
But then I remember there are colors out there, amazing, wonderful colors in the world. And I could have any variety sneaker I want!
Red Glitter:
Or Houndstooth:
Or Blue:
Or Union Jack:

But then I remember I’m a grown-up.

Friendship.
My oldest friend, a woman I rarely see in person these days - we do most of our communicating and catching up via FB - is getting married in about a month. I am in the wedding party and I haven’t seen her in about two years. I am going to dinner with her tonight and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been trying to get together with her for about a year and a half now.
When we...

I Apologize, Mariah Carey Fans,
Apparently I was wrong…. next time I’ll give it a second listen, do a little Internet research, before I type something willy-nilly on Tumblr. However that is what the line sounded like and I honestly thought that’s what she was saying.
Still, my snafu aside, that song still sucks.

Actual Lyrics from a Mariah Carey Song:
“Let me rub my face around your waist.”
Why does she have a fan base again?

"Raw Milk Debate Remains Contentious" →
A Boston Globe article about the debate that happened last week at the Harvard Law forum.
If you ever have dinner, or afternoon tea, at my parents house you will be offered milk to drink (you’ll be offered other things too). The milk you will be drinking, if you accept, will be raw milk. They have been drinking raw milk for the past two or three years, driving all the way out past...

My two year old nephew is the best. He builds a completely nondescript tower out of pre-school Legos and suddenly it’s a bunny and it’s hopping around the house.
Sometimes, I could watch him play for hours.

Right Now
Right Now I want a large coffee/chocolate drink, brownies OR chocolate doughnuts, either a delightful book or a tv show marathon (probably ought to take a break from Psych and watch something else for a bit).

“Oooh my love, some of us they say are bound to die;
Oooh my love, how it breaks...”

Of all freakin' sources....
JohnFuckingSteinbeck has reminded me to not over-think things and just go with the flow. Going with the flow has kept me very happy in life and sometimes I forget and try to swim upstream or take a sharp turn. Obviously I control which off-shoots I go down and try to avoid obstacles, sea monsters and bridge pilings, but mainly, I just go with the flow.
I tried to take a sharp turn recently...
One of the funnier conversations this weekend when...
Friend One: What're you complaining about?
Friend Two: Eh, First World Problems.

It was a good weekend… it was. But I learned some things about myself and about the Fella. Not bad things, just true things.
For starters: I am in my late twenties. There is no getting around this. And nothing exemplifies this more than hanging out with 24 year old grad students and 25 year old bros. I am twenty seven and over certain aspects of “being young”. I have...

Inadequacy.
I love Bestie, I do. Who doesn’t love their best friend? We’ve been friends, truly great friends, for about ten years now and I think she’s wonderful. She’s one of very few friends for whom Boys was rarely a topic of discussion. We very occasionally talked about boys or “girlie” things in high school or college or now (even when one of us had/s a...

Someone once praised Literary Bex and complimented me for not being one of those people who are all: “I love reading because of Harry Potter!”
I didn’t have the heart to tell them its because I was a teenager when Harry Potter first gained popularity.
The interesting thing is I love to read because of L. Frank Baum, C.S. Lewis, Mark Twain and Louisa May Alcott in that order....

11. NYPD officers working evidence rooms
As Graham Raymanreported in the Voice, cops go to the evidence rooms when they’ve been stripped of their guns, their mobility, and the power to police the streets (indeed, just about every reason they became cops in the first place). It is among the most humiliating and least powerful jobs on the entire force. Further, when a cop is sent to guard...

Unnecessary Confessions
I’ve never done Valentine’s Day. The one year I actually had a boyfriend in February he didn’t “do” Valentine’s Day. He spouted bullshit about how it’s all a ploy by the greeting card companies. That day he went to his friends’ kid’s first birthday party and I went to see He’s Just Not That Into You with two single gal friends. I had...
