Halle: can we throw a cuddly party?
Me: um thats creeeeeeeeeeeeepy
Halle: i guess what I meant to say was, I want to cuddle with someone attractive
Me: haha yea maybe you should just...do that rather than use the guise of a party
Halle: hahahahaha. I think you just undermined the entire concept of the cuddle party. "Maybe you guys should just...get boyfriends and girlfriends."

Isn’t it amazing how people can have such different working vocabularies and turns of phrase? I love that. I love getting to know someone whose words you of course know but have never really integrated and you just think, wow, nice! You are a whole new person! A whole life of funny words that you can please now remind me of.
Bobby: Why is that guy selling coconuts?
Me: Huh? Poke my nuts?

Yes I did.

– wabam! Breton im an idiot, On Love
ps: I love subtext!
What have I done to deserve love? asks the humble lover… What have I done to be denied love? protests the betrayed one… To both questions, the one who hands out love can only reply, Because you are you,— an answer that swings the beloved dangerously and unpredictably between grandiosity and depression. — Alain de Botton, On Love
Queen, Fat-Bottomed Girls

dear nerds,
Did you know that the University of Maryland has a Gamer Symphony Orchestra?
Oh, because I did.
I am completely hilariously terrible at video games and I really really hate them and I hate when my friends play them, but still, this is kinda cool.
Also, while we are on this topic, because I hope to never be on it again: In college, my roomie got back from one of her first dates with The One (now...
it’s been such a sweaty day. im starting to kind of enjoy it. it’s like we’re all burning like bitches on the surface of the sun, but we’re in it together. it’s the great unifier. second only to abraham lincoln and katy perry’s “i kissed a girl.”

these headphones will change your life. That is if you are like me and your stupid headphones get in a million knots and are always knotted up all around your face and people laugh at you on the train.

I wish I could use this to get a job. Or maybe not. Maybe if my prospective employer was a beardo with glasses and a flannel shirt. But let’s be honest, they’re rarely running things (sorry, beardos!).

Lindsay: Not that I'm having sex, but if I were, and I used the Nuva Ring, I would be afraid it would come out.
Me: Unless your partner had a small dick...
