Hey! My tumblrversary is in a week!
Here’s to a year of being in transition. Hoping this won’t be a recurring theme.
“It’s been real, it’s been fun, but it hasn’t been real fun.”-406/404 freshman year girls
I've been on the J.Crew email list since January...
I never, ever shop there. In fact, the only time I set foot in a J.Crew was January of 1999, in NYC.
I can’t bring myself to unsubscribe from it though, for two reasons:
1) It was the very first retail email list on which I ever got myself inadvertently listed.
2) That J.Crew was in the lower level shopping concourse of the World Trade Center. It’s an oddly sentimental, if not...

True. And every time I hear that song, that’s where my mind goes. Foreverrrr. ;-)
WatchOk, this might be the coolest thing I’ve seen all week. Music nerds take note.
Just watch it.

Blah dee blah TMI!
Iiii’mmmm siiiiiiicccckkkkk (Full House? Anyone?)
True though. I think it was food poisoning, but I guess I’ll never know for sure.
I’ve slept more than I ever thought possible in the last 46 hours. And I ate for the first time in 43 hours today (this sucks, because I LOVE food, and eating, and..yeah).
My stomach has finally stopped being queasy, and I can actually think of...
Rant #2-Education and Employment
I’m currently unemployed. This is no secret. What is a secret is how to fix that. I wouldn’t have said so six months ago, but I’m beginning to feel like I’m just doing it wrong.
I’m still probably being pickier than I can afford to be at this point, but I don’t want to sell out, myself or my ideals. I already know that I won’t really be able to live with...

If it doesn’t stick, it doesn’t count.
I gots the itch
The new apartment furnishing/decorating itch.
I went to Target today to get some “essentials” (crystal dress hangers, febreeze, patterned tights..ya know), and I found myself wandering through the home section, which is by far my favorite. I love concocting new ideas for color patterns and home decor. Thinking about putting together desks and bookshelves and end tables gets me...
I just sent a snarky message on Yelp
Sorry, but I can’t stand when people think they’re being funny or cute by bashing Wichita and Kansas as small town and podunk.
Also, in this instant, I’m five years old.

More often than not...
I’d usually just share this on the good ol’ Google Reader, but this was too good not to share here too. Enjoy:
More often than not…
Happy belated birthday to the United States Marine Corps! Cough. I’m gonna go off a wee bit…okay? Cool! I have had enough of conservative pundits and politicians sporting American Flag jewelry and spewing ig’nant as hell rhetoric about [insert...
I'm just gonna put this out there:
Skinny jeans SUCK.
Can they please go out of style now?

Rant #1-Autism and the Broken System
I wasn’t going to post about this til later, but it’s suddenly become very timely, so away we go.
Some of you may know that my older brother has severe autism. He can’t speak and for the most part, he can’t really be alone. He can’t take care of himself for the day-to-day stuff without prompting, and some supervision. He’s fairly high functioning for his type...

– -Michelle Obama speaks with Katie Couric in an interview for Glamour magazine, which just named her Woman of the Year. Single women need to print this quote, stick it to their bathroom mirror and read it every morning. (via itsmorgan) (via carlyj)
I stayed up really late completing a job...
I do my best thinking at night.
I demand that more of my friends be on gchat right...
Not like it’s a gorgeous Saturday afternoon or anything.
GEEZ you guysss.

She beat me to it! But…word.
Modcloth.com is KILLING me today
I can't hold back forever
So many times, I’m tempted to just air out all my grievances with the world, either here, or on twitter, or facebook, or just stand outside and start yelling to the sky.
I’m really, REALLY good at not doing that. That’s one of the reasons I rarely get personal on here.
But I have a feeling my brain, fingers, and overall frustration just might break through.
Are you ready for...

Not difficult, just awesome.
Should I write for NaNoWriMo?
In case you don’t know NaNoWriMo.
I know I’m a day late to the game, but the idea is nagging at me a bit. Plus, it’s not like I’m doing anything else with my time right now. Like, say, getting paid for doing what I went to school to do.
Ha.
