I amuse myself.
Steelopus: zomg i can't decide
Steelopus: You're a girl
me: i am!
Steelopus: Tell me if this is a good deal: [link to steamer on woot] You're supposed to know about steamers and things. Actually nevermind.I just talked myself out of it. I don't even have anything steam-worthy. God, I'm out of my mind.
me: I like how my having a vagina makes me a good decider of items you would need.
Steelopus: I thought girls were born with a steamer in their hands
me: ouch!
Steelopus: Ouch is what moms say when they're trying to squeeze out a steamer.
me: gah. worst image ever
Steelopus: Well anyway. I didn't buy it. And now it's gone. Gone forever.
me: You can just order a girl from russia to iron for you
Steelopus: Are russians born with irons instead of steamers? Holy crap that's brutal!
me: Where do you think the term iron curtain came from?

It finally feels like the holidays.
Me and my sister just sang whatever was on the radio poorly and at the top of our lungs at my brother the whole car ride home.
I’m so glad I’m not the youngest.

This has no actual conclusion.
For our self-conscious generation (and in this, I and Zuckerberg, and everyone raised on TV in the Eighties and Nineties, share a single soul), not being liked is as bad as it gets. Intolerable to be thought of badly for a minute, even for a moment.

I love Christmas.
I love the tree with the sentimental ornaments from my childhood, the window displays, the 18 hour mother/daughters baking marathon. I like wrapping presents that I spent care picking out. I adore It’s a Wonderful Life.
But seriously, people that have their houses lit up with Christmas decorations BEFORE THANKSGIVING are the worst. That is just taking it too far.
True Story.
J: It’s 11:11; make a wish. K, deadpan: I wish J wasn’t such a faggot. This happened when we were all hanging out one night in college (in like ‘03), and I still think it’s hilarious. Really hilarious.
I’ve always felt bad for thinking this is so funny, because I hate that word. It’s right up there with the N word. But yet, this still was one of the best...
Truth.
While I don’t understand why everyone is so fascinated by the royal family, I think it would be super cool to be a princess.

Fact.
There is a lady dressed in all purple with...
I almost took a picture of her, but she looks like she’s a nice person, not really the kind of person who deserves to be judged and scorned by a girl using 3 different electronic devices*, sucking on a blowpop**
*ipod touch, blackberry and kindle
**In retrospect, the lollipop could have waited til I was off the train.

Sarah Palin vs. The Economist from the WSJ
Spoiler Alert: She’s dumb and wrong as usual.
Now I realize I’m just a former governor and current housewife from Alaska, but even humble folks like me can read the newspaper. I’m surprised a prestigious reporter for theWall Street Journal doesn’t.
-Sarah Palin
The thing that really annoys me isn’t that she used some ellipses to edit section of the Wall Street...

Things I wish really happened:
“Yo girl, you wanna ride in my spooky Acura TL?”
“I have a gold fish”
It's funny how things change.
Ten years ago, I was a senior in high school. George W. Bush was our nation’s president-elect;thanks to the electoral college, Florida and a bunch of old people. My AP Gov’t & Politics teacher was having a mini stroke about the whole thing. At the time, while I appreciated the historic nature of what was going on; I was 17, couldn’t vote and couldn’t imagine ever giving...
