I saw a commercial for The Streets of America: The Search for America’s Worst Driver, which is, by the way, a horrible show title*. And I wondered, does every fleeting thought warrant a television show? Should this particular show exist just because, after testing his endurance for narcotics at some party, a guy mentioned:
“What if, like, American Idol was a show not to see who was...
Obama is at the University of Tampa. I am so close to him.
And some college student just asked why states should have the right to take away civil rights that should be federally protected.
I feel so wrong.

I met a guy last night that I had been talking to for a while. It was supposed to be a date, dinner and a movie then I would go home. I have strong moral values and belifs. I think a kiss on the first date is fine but nothing more than that.
So how is it that the guy fucked me 3 times in 1 night? My ex and I dated for one year and we only had sex twice.
I was scared to tell him no...
Unconditional(?) Love
I just wrote a long post about my taboo struggle of questioning the unconditional in “unconditional family love.” I erased the post, realizing I have no idea how to put these thoughts to words. To delicate words. So now, I try again.
Basically: Some family members I love without any qualms. But the ones with racism, sexism and all those other hateful group-isms give me pause. I...

Ooh Eliza! Nigel Thornberry was a legend!
When I was younger, I was upset by the similarities between Eliza, Darwin and me; I wanted to be like Donnie. But Darwin was my favorite, for sure.
But what about Debbie? She was mintttt! Nigle all the way though! Voice of the millenium!
I liked Debbie, but I couldn’t...

I’m beginning to think, if I were not obliged to love them, I wouldn’t even like the majority of my family.
That’s probably too honest.
Unfollow-inducing
Some annoying things I do offline (similar to IRL, but more accurate):
Compliment by sarcastically insulting
Compliment too directly
Apologize too often
Apologize for apologizing
Read at parties, especially those featuring bad movies
Read in unusual places (e.g., theme parks)
Engage others in debate without reason
Exploit puns
Tell my life story without prompting

I despise indecisive people.
spudcheyne:
I really, really do.
I hate standing in line behind someone who can’t decide what movie they want to see. I hate being in an elevator with a person who can’t remember what floor they’re on. I hate walking behind someone who can’t decide which side of the sidewalk they want to occupy. I hate being on a date with someone who can’t decide where they want to eat.
In theatre, when you...
nickolaj asked: Hahahaha. I just saw your reblog reply, Nathan. You're awesome.
I definitely just fangirled over one of my latest followers. The squeal heard ‘round my house. But, in the interest of not dissing those other people who, you know, kind of matter, I won’t name any names.
Yeah, I’m sarcastic with you guys[, girls and inbetweens]. Don’t pretend you don’t love, or at least marginally enjoy, it.
I almost clichéd the hell out of this...
Things I tried to ignore on tumblr.
nickolaj:
all the “reblog if you…”
all the arrow signs
“no homo”
using “gay” for anything bad
“I hate my parents….blah blah blah”
desperately hoping for a follow back by following me when you’ve never care for any interaction and then secretly unfollow me
constant “I love him/her” entries
posting pictures of yourself and then say things like “I hate the way I look”
constant reblog...
Just say yes.
spudcheyne:
I have been corporately trained to just say “yes” to any request immediately. Even if you’re unsure, just say “yes” and then when you hang up, go and figure out how to make that “yes” a reality. This can do attitude has also carried over into my personal life.
I find myself saying “yes” to things I normally wouldn’t.
Yesterday, I invited my date over for a game of chess. He asked...
You make me seem stupid to my teachers, but clever to my friends. You’re shorter than most, but I like that. People say you’re not right, but that’s a huge part of your appeal. You’re definitely not proper, but that’s why we get along so well. You depend on me to complete you.
Together forever: sentence fragments and me.
A nice letter from a conservative older woman.
spudcheyne:
This letter was sent to us after she saw our show. It warmed my heart to read it and learn she loved it:
“I would like to applaud the amazing talented cast and crew of Houselights for providing the community of Honolulu a highly entertaining, thought provoking and abstract vision of the flawed characteristics of basic everyday human behavior. An original story which leaves the...
Self-censorship
by means of pluralistic ignorance.
Un-American America
[This is so long, I’ve bolded the gist of my objections for your convenience.] You might already know about the Christian scripture references in the gunsights provided to the United States military. But just for giggles, I’ll include my opinions on these Christ-enhanced Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights (ACOG). They’re manufactured by Trijicon, Incorporated in Michigan, which...
Write one leaf about honey.

(via writeoneleaf)
When I considered trying to be vegan after vegetarian, I thought about honey. Honey is not considered a vegan substance, because it is derived from honey bees. I love honey.
It’s delish! I eat it on Greek yogurt, with cranberries and Life cereal. What would I dip my homemade sopapillas in?
Agave nectar is my favorite substitute, but it isn’t as thick as...

are you the one asking me all these formspring questions? LOL (= & btw thank you for liking so many of my posts ♥ i love your support!
Nope, I’ve never asked a formspring question. And, you’re welcome! =]

My etiquette derives solely from Bravo reality shows.

HIT IT OR QUIT IT?
- QUIT IT. i’ve seen stale raisins with less wrinkles than you.
With your self-infantalization, I’m not surprised you perceive maturity as generational superiority.
Confusion
I take solace in confusion as the only emotion, albeit one of dispute, which gives me absolute certainty in what I am feeling—confused. All other feelings are so perplexing; I’m drawn back to the base of all my emotions: I could not bear love, caring or even malice without confusion. I couldn’t all at once feel any emotion, except confusion. With a lack of certainty as its only...
UP Trivia
fuckyeahdisneytrivia:
In June 2009, 10-year-old Colby Curtin from Huntington Beach, California, was suffering from the final stages of terminal vascular cancer. Her dying wish was to live long enough to see Up. Unfortunately, Colby was too sick to leave home and her family feared she would die without seeing the film. A family friend contacted Pixar, and a private screening was arranged for...
B.D. Wong
B.D. Wong and I have the same birthday. I might be overexcited about this discovery. But he is pretty awesome.
Regarding future plans.
hellosole:
You know what? I have always imagined myself in a house, but I don’t need much space.
I could live in a loft in New York with the same amount of space - for the same price as a house - and be just as happy. I like cozy spaces.
I love this cozy space in particular - isn’t it just beautiful?
I like it, but I would obviously need more space for books.

Pffft, pants, shirt, all clothes on the ground. that’s how I live : )

(via dinoboydaniel)
How about: The sky cried like a grieving mother. This could also be considered pathetic fallacy.
For clarification, the sky’s crying is personfication and the simile is the comparison of the sky raining and a mother crying.
Dear Future Boyfriend,
spudcheyne:
When no one else gives a shit, I’ll still believe in you with all my heart.
This is my new favorite Future Boyfriend post. I’m excited for you to have someone with whom you can share all of these enamored values. =]
Write one leaf about holding hands.
(via writeoneleaf)
“You take me by the heart, when you take me by the hand.” -Obviously, Toni Basil
Am I supposed to use my own words? Well, it would be great if two men or two women holding hands didn’t require a position. It shouldn’t have opposition or need support. Hand holding just is. If anything, appreciate the intimation of love. But to defend it assumes there is...
The ellipses are not a period.
spudcheyne:
Stop abusing those poor three dots simply because you can’t figure out when your sentences start and stop.
Well… yeah… I suppose… I mean, they have their place… what I mean is, you’re right.
Of course, I’m only being facetious.
