"One common cure that didn't work for me, though: Faux-relationship rebounds. I made the mistake of that and behaved like a horrible child in every case. The way I treated people during that time actually kind of haunts me, so be careful who you take your low self-esteem bullshit pity party around." → molls.tumblr.com

And this is why I aim to do all of my self-destructing alone. Something to reach for in 2011.

Ghost! Kid Cudi

Ghost! by Kid Cudi

Sunday: the day made for listening to chill music with bummer lyrics, drinking on the roof, and staying up way too late in order to hold on to the last little bit of the weekend.

Maybe I shouldn't go?
Best thing about surprise Hawaiian vacation: Surprise! Hawaiian! Vacation!

Worst thing about surprise Hawaiian vacation: only one week to get my bikini body goin. Damn.

JK/LOL. I will be sipping tropical drinks with flowers and shit in them and diving down to look at pretty fishies and watching amazing sunsets and jacuzzing it up and not giving a fuuuuuuuuuuck. I mean, holy shit, surprise Hawaiian vacation!

(Long story short: my mom has some time off work, and wanted to go away with Choice #1: Dad. He has some important bidness stuff going on though, so she got stuck with Choice #2: Daughter. FINE WITH ME.)

Initial thoughts while perusing the starting line-up for Puppy Bowl

Oh my god I cannot be expected to choose which pit bull I love more so I will have to love them both equally. It’s ok, I have a really big heart. (For animals.) And Sadie, all my teddy bear are belong to you. Thirteen? I LOVE TO CUDDLE, TOO! (With animals.)

Oliver manages to look both high and drunk.

Charlie totally looks like Charlie.

And Jack, Lindy, and Max are conspiring to kill me with their eyes.

Someone anyone! in the SoCal area: please host a viewing party. I don’t care that you’re a total stranger. I will bring beer and chips and salsa and anything else you want. I will bring this! Just make it happen. I have the day off and would really like to bet on this in some way.

(Edit: I was totally serious about crashing a stranger’s Puppy Bowl party, but it turns out that I’m not going to be in town. But! Please keep me in mind for any/all future animal-related events. Yeah, I’d be down to attend your cat’s birthday party. You have no idea how down.)

The Best Time I Made Up a Dance Routine With a Friend


Laugh crying at my desk like a true profesh. My story: 6th grade glee club. We had weekly gong shows, and my then boyfriend and a few friends decided to lip sync to ‘Shoop’. And bless your heart, Long Beach public school system, THEY LET US. Since we were lip syncing we knew we had to bring it with the moves, and we so, so did. (Guess who was also on the cheer team at this time? Don’t think I wasn’t yelling at bitches to use ‘strong arms’ and ‘lock it’.) We blew the roof off that overly-crowded classroom. Standing ovation. Killed it. Was never that cool (LOLOLOL) again.

But then I tend to walk away from most things with that message
Over the weekend I went with a date to see Blue Valentine, and walked out of the theater scared to hold the guy’s hand. That is one powerful movie. It’s like reading Corso’s poem Marriage (scroll down a scootch) while listening to the Mountain Goats song No Children as your parents fight in the next room. It’s an overdose in RELATIONSHIPS ARE HARD AND SOMETIMES AWFUL AND SHOULD MAYBE BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS? Or at least that’s what I walked away with.

Anyway, I loved it. Go see it. And I recommend taking a date. It’ll make things especially awkward and open up all kinds of avenues for conversation about past relationships and if you’re weird like me you might enjoy that (fun game: you can tell a lot about a person by who/what they blame). Plus it’ll help to weed out the phonies who claim they can’t relate to it - as if! Anyone who’s been in a long term relationship knows that sometimes you get a little awful, and sometimes you get stuck that way. It happens. We’ve all been awful before. And probably will be again. Cheers!

Dear Mr. Nolan
While I am unsure about your recent casting decisions, I will reserve judgment until I see the final product since you have previously pulled off some seriously stellar Batman installments and I both love and respect you for that. As I’m sure you’ve nothing else riding on this but my wishes, I will say: please please please let this be good. Or else!

Track 11 Big Business
Shields by Big Business

“What could go wrong I can’t count the number of ways”

Still on this kick? In a big way. Haven’t listened to another band since Saturday. I’m bathing in them. It’s the least I could do since they so obviously wrote every song just for me.

the saddest part of my night last night

was not in fact showing up to the bar fresh from the gym, hair in a bun, in spandex leggings and a sweatshirt. No, it was when one of the buddies in our group didn’t bother to hide his shock/awe at the fact that I go to the gym, often!, and work/sweat my ass off. And yet, I am no tiny slip of a lady!

He honestly did not believe me. And then (wait, maybe this is the saddest part?) I invited him to feel my sweet quads as proof. And they are sweet, but HE STILL DID NOT BELIEVE ME.

Damn, Geminis. Badly wishing I was still one of you!

Track 06 Big Business

Cold Lunch by Big Business

I listened to this band for the first time this weekend. I’ve known about them for ages (I basically stalk the Murder City Devils so yeah, these guys were on my radar) but never bothered to check them out. (I’d felt a bit burned by Pretty Girls Make Graves [not a big fan] and so whenever someone would mention ‘hey, this guy from MCD is in this band that you should listen to’ I was like NO WAY MCD 24/7 forever no substitutes!)

Anyways, these guys are so up my alley it’s sickening, and I’m actually a bit ashamed (never about important things, just things like this) that it took me this long to listen to a band that I am so fully in love with that I almost can’t stand it.

"You’ll look at him and say, “Oh no, I know, but some of us want just Champagne, and others of us want mimosas, and some of us like them really strong [point to yourself and wink], while others of us like them weak, so we just prefer to save you the trouble and make our own.” → thehairpin.com

The Hairpin is so very quickly becoming one of my most favorite spots that exists on the internet. I don’t know what tipped the scales from site I occasionally visit to firstish browser stop of the day. Maybe it was the bit about drunk shopping - one blue shoe! one green shoe! - that spoke to my soul. As does this.

Your Zodiac Sign May Have Changed → gawker.com

“Prepare to have your minds blown, all you people with easily blowable minds.”

Hey, that’s me! Went from a Cancer to a Gemini, or from what I gather, from crazy to super fucking crazy (no offense; you’re my people now).

Just great! This changes everything/absolutely nothing!

One of the best Dr. Who eps ever (Last of the Time Lords) airing now vs. having to get up at 7am to take the Nova to the mechanic

Not fair. I love these things -AND SLEEP ESPECIALLY SLEEP- equally.

Sometimes my life is just like Sophie’s Choice only with television shows, material things, and precious, precious unconscious time.
