luxuriousvulgarity:
When i’m at the library on tumblr around strangers I always get really tame stuff on my dashboard. When I’m at the radio station around co workers I always get tits.
Pretty much the opposite for me.

I’m stoked to watch sarah palin get her booty handed to her on thursday.
Yeah, Biden’s not… a polite person.
I don’t have enough supplies yet to even start this project, so I need to escape studio to even be productive.
Name my house.
We want to name our house. Perhaps “The _______”, just for fun / a lot of my friends are friends with my roommates now too, so naming the house is easier than saying “Let’s go to Kas, Cam and Paul’s”.
Thoughts?
The Ampersand →
capucha:
A blog dedicated to the ampersand. In French, this typographic sign is called “esperluette”.
I love the ampersand… on of my favourite symbols (the fleur de lis being the other). I still want to have a son named Ampersand… or perhaps a kid named Esperluette.

Billie, you get out of my head this minute.
Tonight, at Ingrid’s place, I learned that my friend Stuart’s girlfriend went to camp Miniwanca, which was pretty much the single most important thing that happened to me in highschool (or life, possibly). We chatted for a bit about the impact, and it felt so amazing to randomly have someone recognize my necklace and have an instant connection.

Even in the face of logical pessimism..
“I’m trying to stay positive about school (which is ALREADY hard) and not worry if I haven’t talked to a certain friend on a certain day, but just take those times where nobody is calling or hanging out to do some work and study a bit. You know I have such a hard time believing someone is actually my friend (which is such a horrible problem to have, because I love my friends...

This actually really impresses me. It’s such a good visual, especially comparing something like the U.S. Population to the people who have walked on the moon.

Lovely lovely.

Really touching story. It’s short, read it.
seriously, read it!!
So THAT made me cry.
Noise
duplo:
I make a weird noise with my mouth. I do it when I’m concentrating. Also, when I’m spacing out. I do it basically anytime I’m not talking. I don’t think about it.
It’s a little hard to describe. I make the noise by moving an air bubble from the inside of my cheek to the roof of my mouth. Inside my head it makes a little screeching noise. I feel like other people shouldn’t be able to hear...

The name for a group of lions is a “pride.”
The name for a group of ravens is a “conspiracy” or an “unkindness.”
And crows are a “murder” or a “massacre”
I have a fondness for the black birds.
Totally.
K: The people around you have this uncanny ability of indirectly mindfucking you, and it totally kills me.
K: There's nothing anyone can do, and it's because you're so nice, and you get walked over, and people aren't consciously taking advantage of you.
K: But they are.
K: You have a big heart and unfortunately there are the consequences of that.
K: People tell me I take on other people's problems too. It's not even that, or that I'm attracted to drama.
K: It's that I earnestly care about people's well being. Not out of obligation, but out of love.
Me: Totally.
Many of my good friends in highschool had parent’s that had split up, and nearly all of my good friends in college have parents that are still together. I don’t know that this has anything to do with anything, but it just occured to me.
I was bombarded tonight, and I am being a good friend and I’m so glad that people can talk to me, but I’m also jealous and sad and feeling hopeless.

Do the people who work on the “love” shows on VHI and things like Paris Hilton’s new BFF show know how ridiculous they are? I’m embarassed for humankind.
I feel like I really just need to be productive today. Re-clean my room, do some laundry, errandserrands, order books.
Blegh
BUMMED

Seriously. Fuck this… Something is wrong with this country and I don’t what I should do.
Jesus Christ. What the hell PROMPTED this?
what are you ashamed of?
victoriaaah:
and why?
I’m ashamed of my ever changing heirarchy of friends when the ones that really care sometimes get left behind, and the ones who are the hardest to be friends with are the ones I want the most.
I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to...

I was walking down Second Avenue yesterday when I saw a woman retrieving something from the trunk of a cab. She was attractive, mid-twenties, in great shape, and she was pulling out what, on closer inspection, turned out to be a baby stroller. I looked for a baby, and there it was, sitting on the curb in a carrier. This was all taking place in front of a nail salon, and a...

Massive party in my house, the kind of thing I just really didn’t want to happen. I have to fight off a bunch of strangers just to get in, and I’m taking out the garbage as my roommates play beer pong.
Cool. Bed.
Failure.
I haven’t stepped out of the house today. I offered several people help and told them to call if they needed it, and tried to organize a hangout session tonight, all of which failed.
Total bummer of a day. I can’t even think about going to sleep because absolutely nothing was accomplished.
