When I went home for Christmas this past December my dad and I tackled Pike Place Market like we always do every year. This time, however, was different.
I was SO overwhelmed with the crowds. Like dizzy, can’t see clearly, slightly panicked, get me out of here overwhelmed. At one point my dad and I became separated and I had a mini-meltdown over finding him. I’ve had this happen to me...
I was just informed that kittens officially beat...

I love horror movies.
Love them. Eat them up like candy.
This fact may be interesting to some, simply because I tend to be described as a somewhat neurotic person and the fact that I love a good scare seems a bit contradictory to this. However, I once read that anxious people gravitate towards scary films because they serve as a catharsis to whatever real fear the anxious person experiences on a...

People Still Do This?
Someone has called two days in a row on the office line (and seems from what it sounds like) to be jacking off…
Yesterday it was 17 times in a row
Today it was 10.
The level of disgust I feel is pretty much equal to perplexity over how someone could be that pathetic and also that bored. Do people really sexually harass other people this way still? Isn’t the telephone a little...
Finally cross the border into San Diego territory and we’re met w horrendous traffic.
I tried to make use of YouTube and played Bryant in this order
“Money Can’t Buy You Class” by Countess Luann
“Shoe Freak” by Coco T
Then the first viral video I can remember entitled “Shoes”.
He cut me off there and turned on the classical music station. I...

I want someone to explain the scientific reasoning behind being in ‘a funk’ to me.
Mainly because I am prone to them and I’m in one right now.
No reason to be.
Great life. Great boyfriend. Great friends. Great job…
I’m feeling a little bit fat…but I could be skinny as a rail and still be glazed over in the eyes just wanting to be in my bed watching Ethan...
Dinner For Schmucks
Ally and I have decided to make ourselves a nice little feast tonight.
Given that I’m into fatty carbs and meats and Ally loves her Vegan food it’s pretty phenomenal that we’ve reached a stellar compromise for our menu.
Let the adventure begin.
I Should Really Rename this Blog "My So Called...
So.
I’ve reached the point where I don’t really look like the same person from 5 years ago. Where I can notice significant changes in my face and body shape when I’m perusing old photographs.
This is freaking me out.
It’s enough of a change where I’m having to face the reality that I’m getting older. Also, as of recently, I’ve noticed so many references...
This will be me in 4 hours.
Sans the blonde hair, flower petals, lavishly lit candles and spectacular city view from my bathroom.
But I will be in a bathtub with a glass of wine in hand.

While watching it on Tv tonight, I remembered how much I love the movie ‘Blow’
1. Johnny Depp rocks a blonde caesar cut wig for the first half of the movie
2. Pee-wee Herman is an amazingly fabulous gay hairdresser circa 1965
3. Penelope Cruz is a fierce bitch that throws around the P word like a pro
4. Franka Potenta. Where did you go?
5. The “Blinded By The Light” Polaroid picture flash...
Five Years Have Gone By In A Flash/I Talk Too Much
This past weekend my boyfriend and I made a trip down to the O.C. for a baseball game with his parents. On the ride back I began, very innocently, a story about one of my more exciting evenings out upon first arriving in L.A. Little did I know this would set off an avalanche of stories and people and jobs I’d forgotten. Egged on by my silent car companion who would only jump in with...
Natasha VC: The Bird as Symbol in Current Culture →
LOVE THIS
(Sidenote: I still love Anthropologie and would live there given the opportunity)
natashavc:
I first noticed the bird motif on the pro-ana sites. Girls described wanting to have bird bones, to be feather thin, ‘become frail’, to be light as air, be delicate, small, like a shimmering, (starving) sparrow.
The bird lust has seeped into other facets of culture, fashion…
Stores I Would Live In
-Anthropologie -Starbucks -Nordstrom -Costco -World Market
Places I Would Not: -Abercrombie - Hot Topic
Sleepless for Seattle
I’ve been dreaming of Seattle a lot this week. Probably because I haven’t been to visit my family there in almost a year, which is a record for me. Thankfully they spent most of the year down here in Palm Springs which was a double perk because I got to tan in March.
The most vivid dream included a lot of very green trees, water and at some point The X-files.
I’ve lived in...

Day four of me not biting my nails
This is really a lot more of an accomplishment that most people know. I give most of my thanks to Jill at the office for introducing me to a nail growth serum that is ri-diculous.
-1 point for cheating last night and being called out on it by the boyfriend after a dinner with my mother who i love more than anything in the world but is known to induce mass amounts of anxiety from time to time (but...
Don't even get me started on the lines at...
I feel that as I get older, while I grow positively in many areas, my patience is one quality that is consistently diminishing. I often wonder if that is relevant to location change. Having been born and raised in Seattle I am aware there is a huge emphasis on manners and politeness there (however, note this is very different than an emphasis on friendliness, which sometimes I feel is not as...

Each of these is amazing.
molls:
I cried myself to sleep over a boy named Nathan every single night of 8th grade because he looked like a Hanson brother and he didn’t like me back. His family was really Christian and one night I ruined their family dinner party with the church’s minister because I called him crying during the…

Tina Fey's prayer for her daughter →
newsweek:
braiker:
First, Lord: No tattoos.
May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty.
When the Crystal Meth is offered, May she remember the parents who cut her grapes in half And stick with Beer.
Lead her away from Acting but not all the way to Finance.
Honestly. It ain’t easy being a young lady today.

How Do We Resuscitate It?
http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201102/the-day-the-movies-died-mark-harris
An incredible article that’s been making the rounds. So spot on. The same could be easily said of the music industry that lies in a much sadder state of prepackaged pop and mass produced/marketable crap.
A Weston to Remember
Me: word on the street is it might be your birthday
Weston: If the streets had no name
Me: Okay Bono, whats your bday wish

Happy Birthday Weston!
Me: What are we doing for your birthday?
Weston: Rollerskating, duh.
Me: I will die before I go rollerskating again. Die.

Weston: Me too

Kaley: Yes
Weston: EXCELLENT

Gaped Front Teeth and Cheesy Smiles
Today I was delighted to see a facebook post from my friend Molly with a link to Irina Wernings recent photography project entitled “Back to the Future”
http://irinawerning.com/back-to-the-fut/back-to-the-future/
What I love about these photos is how much they’ve captured the best part of our childhood. How totally unselfconscious we were. In the days before side turns, arms on...

Weston: I don’t know if i can watch that shit late at night
Me: I forgot you don’t like scary things
Weston: It’s really not that scary. I ended up watching two episodes last night
Me: I get nervous when the zombies attack. Maybe because I’m terrified of zombies
Weston: I feel like they aren’t that scary. ya they aren’t that smart. they cant problem solve....
Am I A Music Snob?
This morning I was accused of being a music elitist by someone who, 5 minutes later, admitted to being one himself. Despite this admission, his comment made me wonder, “Am I a music elitist?”
I’ve always tried to educate myself to the best degree when it comes to music. I love almost every genre across the board and I only find that I get stubborn and possibly elitist when...
