My friend mentioned in the last post called me today in a panic because she sent in her deposit for Cornell and is now having second thoughts.  Maybe she's realizing that 76k is a bit too much, even for the Ivy League name recognition.  I hope no one was looking at me while I was in the car talking to her, because I kept making 'THANK GOD!  THANK  ( Read more... )

How do you tell someone you love dearly that they may not be making a great decision...without looking like you want to rain on their parade?  One of my best friends recently decided she wanted to return to school to get an MBA and go into the hospitality business.  All great and wonderful.  I need to do a little background on her for you, though ( Read more... )

Do you guys remember Stains, the cupcake-deprived dog from the video I posted a while ago?  Well, he was just declared Entertainer of the Year on The Soup Awards and appeared on the show - and they gave him a plate of cupcakes to eat!  Yay Stains!

(Yes, that absolutely necessitated a post.)

Ok, sometimes I really can't handle Facebook!  It's this evil stalking vehicle through which I find out that everyone I went to HS with is married and having babies.  Just now I saw through a comment on another friend's wall that a girl that used to constantly get mistaken for me (and vice versa) is married and preggers.  Let's just say I wouldn't ( Read more... )

I laughed just as hard at this as I did at poor Stains the cupcake-deprived dog.  I guarantee that this is what my future children will be like.

As usual, I nicked this from someone else. :-D

.o1 Did you date someone from your school? Yes, 2 guys.  One I'm still friends with and the other dicked me over for my (at the time) best friend and now they're getting married, this Saturday (Valentine's Day), I believe.  Doesn't that make you want to puke? (I'm over it, I swear)

My friend agreed to change the date of her birthday party so now I can go see Above & Beyond in DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAPTURE!

I desperately want to go see Above & Beyond (trance DJs) in Washington, DC on Feb. 21.  The only problem is, a friend of mine already requested to use my place in Philly as a planning/launching ground for her birthday party that night.  I said yes before I knew about the show.  But these guys are based in Europe and people in the USA don't like ( Read more... )

I watch a snowflake softly fall

The storm’s fragile afterthought

And I wonder

Is the atmosphere spooning sugar

Into the bitter drink of the world?

Radiator

Like a sentinel you stand

Moored

Clicking, hissing, clanking

Protesting your man-made fever

Until you burn dry

And lose your fight to this cold night.

Why is there a giant space under here? The world may never know. Anyone want to smoke hookah with me now?

EDIT: Well, there was a giant space but it has mysteriously disappeared. The hookah offer still stands.
