Happy Holidays and all that Rot
I am on holiday in Virginia. I thought I would tell you that in case you want to stalk me. Just kidding. Please don’t stalk me. I had a grand idea that I would take lots of pictures on my droid and then post them. But I only took a few pictures and they’re all…

Christmas Gag Gifts
Opening a present from mom, I came across this note: Digging further, I found this shirt. Uh huh. I can make this fit. Nooooooo problem. Ha ha. I also got a present from somebody named “TDL.” “Who’s TDL?” I asked. “Just open it,” said Mom slyly. So I did. It was an old box containing…

So what did you do for the end of the world?
Initially I dreaded December 21, 2012, because I knew how crazy facebook was going to be, with everyone saying “well I’m not dead yet!” and feeling clever. Later I realized that I’ve only ever met one person who legitimately thought the world would end in 2012. Since no one is really scared, I concluded that…

Why I don’t Realize how Stupid I Am
The other day in my Interpersonal Communications class, my teacher introduced me to the term “quid pro quo,” meaning “this for that.” “That’s interesting,” I thought, “I’ve never heard that term before.” Before you know it, I was hearing the term “quid pro quo” everywhere. It popped up on the radio, in the newspaper, in…

A Never-Ending Day
I went to bed at midnight. Just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard a faint sound. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. It sounded like getting a text message when your phone is on vibrate. Oh well. I started to fall asleep. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. The faint buzzing woke me up. I tried to…

A Random Mormon Memory
Since everyone seems to be talking about Mormons these days (specifically the magical Mormon who will allegedly swoop down and save us all if only do our American duty and vote for him), I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and post about the one time I came in contact with Mormons. Three years ago,…

10 Quirky Things I Do that Make Me Feel Cool
I’ve noticed, throughout my short life, that most people think they are weird. Often, people will say things like, “I am obsessed with olives.” Then they’ll say, “I know, I’m weird.” But you can tell that they’re not putting themselves down, they think that this quirk makes them unique and interesting. For a long time…
