I love that my friends have things like this to say when they wake up in the morning.
I couldn't have summed it up better if I tried. :)

My plan today was to go home, respond to emails, read "Ideal Husband," write my history response, go for a run, and go to bed early. Instead I watched "Golden Girls" for several hours with Jim and Brian, and ate more chocolate than the average human being should probably consume in one day ( Read more... )

Ah, well, NOPE. Still feeling like I could kill him.
I'm buying a ukulele tomorrow. A pink one.
And my best girl is coming to town.
Thank the dear lord for that. <3

So, last night I played my first ever game of "quarters," my first 4-to-a-team game of beirut, my first game of 7-11 split, and drank the shittiest beer anyone has ever consumed in the history of beers.

The leaves are falling back East,
That's where I'm going to stay."
