2.25 Miles!
My trainer has suggested that I run. RUN! I explained to her my love/hate relationship with running … How I’ve been a ‘runner’ in the past, how I even completed a half marathon at one point (a sad, cry-face half marathon because my friend had to drop out a few days before because of health problems with her father and my boyfriend had just had knee surgery the week before,...
Top 5 Regrets of the Dying...
pianoacrossamerica:
This is so relevant and inspiring. I dream and work towards my dreams so I never have to say these words.
I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
I wish I didn’t work so hard.
I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Tyler Riewer's Random Internet Stuff: Skimping on... →
tylerriewer:
My wife bought the cheapest toilet paper in the world this week, and I just wanted to take a moment to publicly shame her by blogging about it. Because, frankly, I’m not sure that what she bought classifies as toilet paper. I’ve seen thicker dryer sheets. There’s two-ply, there’s one-ply, and…
Ok … I think I have the same issue going on right now, so I’m adding...

thingsidontunderstandand:
I hope there is a word (in German?) for when you are walking in New York City, and, for only a moment, your hand basically accidentally holds hands with a stranger who is walking in the opposite direction, toward you, on the sidewalk, or in the street, and though you barely touch, and neither one…
Yes … THIS! Almost as awkward and new-word-worthy: Walking...

My Friend Kate Grace Wrote an Amazing Book! →
So … my friend Kate wrote a book. She WROTE A BOOK, people. It’s young adult fiction, and it’s friggin fantastic. And it went on sale on Amazon today. For a very affordable $2.99. And not only that … she’s giving 10% of her proceeds to Alternatives for Girls — a charitable organization in the Detroit area.
This woman is amazing. For the past two years,...

Ohio Bound(ish)!
I booked my trip to Ohio to visit my new little niece. Just to remind you, she’s the most precious thing in the whole, wide world.
Evidence:
Every year, I make the trek to Hicksville, Ohio … Twice. It’s expensive (always $500+). It’s always a crappy journey (this year, I had a 6-hour overnight layover in Chicago so I could get there in time for Christmas Eve brunch),...
Flatlanders, Represent
Do people born in San Francisco (or other, similarly hilly places) visit northern Ohio and feel slightly unnerved by how very flat things are?

Dashboard Avoidance
So I’ve been sick. Painfully, awfully, gastrointestinal-ly sick. So sick that when I finally called my doctor, she sent me to the ER. And the ER kept asking me if I had recently traveled outside the country … because apparently I have some random third world kind of sickness.
And during said sickness, I’ve had to completely avoid my dashboard. Apparently, when I am well, I LOVE...

Truth
raleighwoodrockstar:
i just spent the last half hour g-chatting with my friend Maks about how we think Hotel sex is consistently WAY better than non-Hotel sex.
Yes, yes … oh my god, yes! It’s just true. I remember the lead up to my first trip out of town with my boyfriend and I told him that, “Hotel sex is my favorite kind of sex,” and he thought I was crazy. Until we...

Rights Revoked
I had to take away my Facebook’s Tumblr rights because it was jacking with the way I use Tumblr. Lesson learned. Sometimes it’s ok if things don’t play nice together.
I'm Down Here ...
It is my fervent belief that all events that involve a crowd and a stage should be seated in height order. Yes, I realize that this means Damon and I will be in different sections. That’s the price I’m willing to pay. In other news, I can see a whole sliver of Broken Social Scene right now. Whole. Sliver.

A woman sat next to me on BART ...
… and I noticed she was holding the same issue of The New Yorker that I was reading. My first thought was, Her hair is too nice to be reading the same magazine as me.
Hey there, self-esteem. You taking a coffee break over there?
