and in a moment of horror i realized i could, in fact, relate to this jersey girl.

and these are the thoughts that fill me with awe, terror, humility and gratitude…and then i think about them too much and my brain crinkles. it’s all so beautiful, though, no? and doesn’t it make you feel a little funny to consider how tiny and fleeting we all really are? and everything that seems so big, so important, is all so inconsequential when you put it in perspective.
jesus take the wheel.
I CAN’T STOP WATCHING THIS
IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL

simple pleasure: eating the tiny little pods of a grapefruit slice one at a time and bursting them with your tongue.
After the post, I did some research and found that this toy falls a apart. a lot. I opted to make up an elaborate story to tell Jolie about how Santa called me and said the elves were very apologetic but the Polly Pocket Roller Coaster kept falling a part as they made it, and they asked if she could come up with a new list. Well, Jolie went around telling anyone and everyone how PPRC kept breaking on the elves so she had to ask for other toys, and how she didn’t know what else to ask for. Keep in mind she had the most saddest of faces when retelling the story. My mom took her to a parade last Saturday that included Santa. When Santa walked past Jolie she told him she needed to talk to him about the elves and how they can’t fix PPRC. That was the final straw. I couldn’t be an asshole. Upon hearing this I went home and ordered the $50-plus piece of crap and included a special note from Santa. I’m sure my parents purchased lots of pieces of crap for me.
this is beyond adorable, for real.
there are so many (SO MANY!) of you on here that i consider my friends (some of you are even wandering into best friend territory), even though we’ve never seen one another face to face.
you make me laugh every day, send me sweet emails and funny pictures when i’m feeling blue, make my most dreary days interesting…and most importantly, when stuff gets really bad you let me know that i’m not alone.
and maybe it means i’m a big old nerd to say that some of my friends live inside the computer, but i don’t really care. it’s true!
i wish more than anything that we could have a gigantic dinner party and all hang out in person! hopefully one day that might happen, but til then, i just wanted to let you all know that each and every one of you have become something so much more important to me than i ever expected when i first signed on to this little ol’ website.
lady gaga - bad romance intro (ra ra ah ah ah…)
i have been holding on to this for awhile because i liked being a special snowflake with the “RA RA AH AH AH ROMA RO MA MA” ringtone i made…but in the spirit of christmas, i feel like i should share it with you all.
also makes a great alarm tone for the mornings!! gaga ooh la la!

i started watching this with a skeptically raised eyebrow (okay, okay, it’s artsy, i get it with the shots of the cornfield already)…and by the last frame i was near tears.
i don’t think i can really explain why this made me feel like crying, except that they could be my grandparents and couldn’t they easily be your grandparents too? these little snippets of day to day life and the wry smiles and the pill counters and dirty white old-man tennis shoes?
and have i ever thought to ask how my grandpa decides which cantaloupe to pick, or how my grandma does her hair? and then realizing i probably never will? and how much longer will they be around for me to ask them things like that?
i don’t know. whatever. don’t look at me right now. IT’S JUST ALLERGIES MAKING MY EYES WATER, IS ALL.
