I just (tried to) set up Taylor with someone who...
Taylor: You are so amazingly relentless and not concerned with geography.
Me: Geography is intensely arbitrary in this day and age.
Taylor: Perhaps we will agree to disagree on that.

(I literally had forgotten about the existence of Nonsociety until Alishan mentioned Julia Allison on her blog, so of course I *had* to check it out. 1. Horizontal scrolling is still annoying 2. The above quote is relevant. And appreciated, by me if not by Taylor, whoever that is.)

So much awesome on Tumblr these days.
Lots of reblogs just because I want to save things, and I can never find them in my faves.
Thanks for being awesome, kids.
Please spread the word

Today I’m mailing a card to a 12 year old boy from Neola, IA. “Mighty Max Low” has terminal cancer. His greatest wish is to receive 1 million get well cards. I’m encouraging all my friends to take a few dollars from their wallets and a few minutes of their time to grant this simple wish for an amazing young man!
Cards can be sent to: Mighty Max Low c/o Greg...

daniedgyfresh asked: Hi! (Sorry for the random question, but...) I just installed the Mutchy theme (like yours), and I can't get rid of the "Mutchy C. - Your personal blog" image. How did you get rid of yours? You can see what I mean at daniedgyfresh.tumblr.com. Thanks in advance for your help!
I Miss This Blog...
…and all the amazing people I met through it!
I created a new sports blog over at www.sportsinstilettos.com so I’ve been blogging almost exclusively over there, but I just logged in over here and it was like walking into a high school reunion (where you actually like everyone who’s there and you don’t have to worry about losing 10 lbs and/or awkwardly avoiding exes and...

– Ok guys. I have pretty strong political leanings, but they don’t necessarily always follow strict party lines, so I like to do my own research on the candidates and their beliefs and agendas before I fill in those little bubbles on my election ballot.
I’m not going to blindly vote for...
“Oh well, life goes on, right?”

Some people don’t have her ability to see that life does go on. It’s not always an easy thing to remember, when things are so hard, and sometimes seem...

I came across this link on Twitter last night, the link with “SHOCKING” and “WOW” attached to it depending on who’d posted it.
Really?
We’re shocked by this?
I read it and thought “Yeah, duh.” Are there seriously people out there who really, truly don’t believe this kind of thing is going on? Or am I just cynical and jaded?

It's Ony Wednesday?
Things that are NOT cool:
When your computer turns itself on and illuminates your entire apartment from the other room late at night when you’re alllllmost asleep
Waking up super early and super cold
Things that are making today not suck:
Not wanting to go to the pool for a morning swim because it’s super chilly out, but sucking it up because I already skipped one workout this...

I Just Got Asked Out
To dinner.
Via email.
On what would essentially be a blind date (friend of a friend whom I’ve only communicated with via Facebook/email) with a perfectly nice guy.
Of course my first instinct is to answer “Sorry, I don’t eat.”
Which is NOT true (see bagel post from earlier today, as well as the un-reheated leftovers I’m chowing down on right now b/c I was too...

It’s jeans weather, yall.
I have a drawer so full of jeans it doesn’t shut all the way (includes FOUR of the same pair of skinny jeans, in different colors, that I lived in last year)
I also have a butt & leg issue, where the majority of said jeans don’t go on anymore.
Not making excuses, but I think it’s more of an athletic/muscle issue, considering that I teach...

Apparently I'm the Third-Wheel Single Friend
Remember how I was sooooooo happy yesterday about my friends trying to set me up with guys? (In case you do not remember and are too lazy to click the link I just put there for you, you should know that the above statement was sarcasm.)
It happened again, so that means different friends have attempted to set me up with 3 different guys within the last week and a half. I mean, really.
I...

Thoughts of the Day: Ho-style
It’s a bad idea for my friends to set me up on dates. I don’t mind using friends as a way to meet guys, but since I’m not really looking to date, being set up on dates is weird. And when I get weirded it out, it’s game over. For example: A couple of my friends know this guy who’s apparently adorable and they wanted to introduce us. Totally cool with me. But saying...
One Year Ago
caseyculture:
I said goodbye to dealing with daily sadness and self doubt.
I said au revoir to the idea that the current job was something I had to do, rather than what I wanted to do.
Waved buh bye to letting others control my future happiness and destiny.
Said toodaloo to frustration and a road to nowhere.
Bid adieu to a passionless career.
Said no more for an endless drowning feeling.

– My fabulicious housemate, indignant about how a guy she tried to set me up with acted when she wasn’t around. See? Even when guys are rigorously pre-screened by my very protective and awesome friends, they still SUCK. Totally not me. Totally them.

This is what the world has come to?
ELEVEN HUNDRED WORDS about Hillary’s hair (and not just her hair, but cultural expectation for women’s hair). But seriously?? 1100? In the Washington Post?
This is pathetic.
And can we please, please, please get the hell over the whole “Hillary as a defiant woman” thing? Why is growing her hair out considered her...
