My Ghetto Accent Might Need Some Work
Me: Sup homie?
Margaret: You saw a pony?!

All Times At Once
I have just finished reading “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” It was sad and beautiful and I am struck so painfully by the inevitability of things. I consider the inescapable joys and sorrows that are waiting for me — people unmet, events still folded into the envelope of my future. I try to imagine all the times I will laugh in my life, but my mind draws me back again and again...
Re: Eating Brownies For Breakfast
Dieting is hard, you guys.
Un-Romantic
I thought my new English professor was kind of dreamy, in a PhD student kind of way. And then he opened his mouth and immediately morphed into some kind of stereotypical poindexter. I’m telling you, he sounded like he was rehearsing for his role as Geek #4 in Revenge of The Nerds. He also gets this self-consciously British accent every time he reads a poem to the class. Lots of...
Stupid Girl
Oh, stop it, Isla. Don’t pretend like you don’t see me. You know we need to talk about this. No, not about your wardrobe. Although, yes, maybe after. But first we need to talk about the movie. Confessions of a Shopaholic. I’m just going to say it, because I’m your friend and sometimes friends need to be honest with each other. It looks… bad. It looks really bad....
And I Liked It
Ok. First of all. I’m not defending Katy Perry’s stupid music. (Although, yeah, it’s catchy, and her Use Your Love cover is pretty fun. Shut up.) “I Kissed a Girl” is a ridiculous, gimmicky anthem for girls who kiss girls to get attention from guys. I know. But.
Is it wrong that I think her style is kind of kick-ass?
I’m totally aware that even her look is...
Seth and Lizzie Make a Poster
Which poster do you prefer?
Actually, College Is EXACTLY How I Imagined It...
I had brownies for breakfast today.
Doppelgangers?
When Sean saw this picture up on my computer, he said
“I can’t believe Annette Benning is completely copying Diane Keaton’s look.”
And then I laughed for about 10 minutes.
That’s Stephen Cojocaru. Ouch for Annette.
EDIT: Let the record show that apparently, Annette Benning actually IS stealing Diane Keaton’s menswear style, and they do kind of have the same...
Tell It To My Blog
Hey, you guys, look! I totally added comments to the blog! Anyway, I know nothing about html beyond like pimping my myspace, so if they aren’t working, let me know, k? And definitely use them if you want to.
Dear Old Golden Rule Days
It’s the first day of school. Maybe my last first day of school ever, but somehow I find that impossible to believe. Not because I have any real plans for grad school, but just because going back to school in September is as much a part of my life’s routine as having a birthday party with my family or getting sunburned in July. It’s just something that has to happen every year...
I Feel Like Falling Asleep But The Party's Just...
So we finally had our extremely belated housewarming party last night.
Highlights:
— strawberries, pineapple, and sour cream and onion chips dipped in the chocolate fountain
— my swishy princess skirt
— seeing Kay
— dancing with the girls early on in the evening (especially the Get Low dance that never fails to make me embarrassed and jubilant at the same time)
