December 2009
ugh, I hate you TSA.
I am spending my last hours in Indiana doing laundry and watching tv for the first time in 7 days before I head to Chicago to spend the night with our boy Travis. Then at 4 am, it’s time to head to the airport and fly back home. After checking the weather reports, hopefully, if all goes well, I will be back in NYC by 9am.
I have the rest of the week off so I will be around…. And I...
So saw Sherlock Holmes today,
markyb:
and I gotta say, I really liked it.
It had a great mix of action, drama, humor, and suspense. Them mystery was strong and classic Holmes (supernatural may prove to be not so super after all). The twists were sometimes weak, but other times brilliants. And I think developing the relationship between Holmes and Watson was a great step for Richie and something not touched on too much in...
so we broke up.

sherry:
And it was kind of a weird break up. The thing is, I needed more. Not a lot more, but a little more. And he…he said he didn’t think he could be the man I needed him to be. Then we made out for 45 minutes like teenagers and hugged really tightly. Then he stuck around and played with V and I made us dinner. You see, we’re pretty happy together. We both knew he should leave, but...

Indiana is a given. 2009 was not a bad year for me, but this month has been horrible. I wrote an email to someone earlier that if I were the falling apart crying type, it would...
You people suck.
I just got a call from my friend telling me I called her at 11:45 am. The thing is, my phone is missing which means whoever had it was scrolling down and calling my friends to find me.
Who else ignored my call this morning? I am going to be phone less till monday.
My phone is now off which means that the battery died. I am never going to see this thing again. Also, do not leave...

marry/fuck/kill Ali, Diddy, Juan? (this isn’t Diddy, btw)
No, it’s probably Alice. But this is easy: Kill Diddy, fuck Juan, marry Ali. Hey, why did everyone just de-friend me on Foursquare…
Ask me anything
Ha! This thing is such a great waste of time. But why does this seem like such a logical conclusion? Ali really is the marrying kind.
How I met your mother and the smoking episode.
I completely related to this episode especially when Marshall said, “I can only have two, if I have a third, I am addicted.”

Ben had just posted this when I realized something: not only was the Straphangers Campaign’s math off when calculating how much it will cost parents to send their kids to school on the subway and bus, but they added 100 days to the school calendar to determine the cost.
The Straphangers Campaign scared parents into believing that it’ll cost $1069 a year to send their kids to school -...

Also, my boss explaining why a 21 year old virgin was almost molested on her first trip to NYC.
It's the same fucking shit every year.
frangry:
Nobody ever comes to my stupid birthday party. In college, everyone had to study for exams, and now that we are grown up, everyone has to go to stupid holiday crap. Next year I’m celebrating my half birthday instead and finally getting that pool party I’ve always wanted.
At least the strippers will show. Right?!?!

ohhleary:
There. I said.
It’s an unmelodic piece of crap that sounds like they got lazy, recorded it, and then said, “hey, let’s release this as a single and see just how many suckers out there will download it on iTunes.”
I hate Vampire Weekend so much, it’s the one band I hope to never hear again in my life time. It’s been stuck on my ipod shuffle for like a year cause I broke...

Many of you have contacted me asking how you can get involved with charity/volunteer work this holiday season, so here are some of my recommendations:

I bet that guy thought twice before sexually assaulting another woman.
I have lived in NYC for 6.5 years now and a man has never fondled me on the subway or elsewhere in public. They have however given me their seat. This happens at least once a month. Last night, I asked a friend about this and he said that it’s my demeanor. I am very clear about personal...
My dad "claims" he's coming to NYC Jan 13-15...
But I will believe it when I see it. He’s not a big traveler.
I think I found a new Tuesday night tradition.
Going to the Lazy Catfish in Williamsburg for an hour and a half of free beer then going to Alligator Lounge for free pizza. The Indiana-Pittsburgh game was on so it was really a perfect night.

“I don’t get out much.”
If by “I don’t get out much” you mean that you aren’t rollin’ to the club all the time and you often prefer a quite night in watching a movie, reading a book, cooking dinner, or chatting with a few friends; then by all means tell me that on the first date.
But it’s true! The work-release program only lets...

Lately I have noticed that if I hit the snooze about 2 or 3 times, Lola starts purring really loudly. It’s like she knows my alarm clock is a failure and decides to send off a message of her own- bitch, get up so that damn clock will stop waking me up. It’s always the thing that gets me up. Then that feisty bitch falls back asleep and stops purring. I sense mutiny afoot.
