I think I'm overly amused by the little hipster.com ad on AIM. The little purple dude that plays a short clip of techno when your mouse is over it.

Back in Northfield. It's good to be here: it really feels like coming home. Had a wonderful Christmas. Remembered how much I love my mom's family. They're just so much fun. Plus, one of my cousins is thinking about coming to visit me in the spring. So exciting! No one's come to visit me except my parents while I've been here. Plus, you will ( Read more... )
