So true!

Someone was directed to this blog (specifically, this post) through a google search for "what is a important life lesson." Well, besides the fact that "an" is used before words beginning with vowels, yes, my experience described there IS an important lesson, and I'm glad that google is recognizing it as such.

I enjoy Whoppers

This is my new facebook picture, taken at a party on Sunday night. It has inspired various reactions from friends, from "OMG!!! Haha!! I LOVE YOU!" to "oh my god, what's the matter with you?"

I like it, though. I think it stays for a while.

Yes, I have been MIA these past couple of days, as I'm moving into a new place and don't have internet. Apparently I have some irate fans, one of whom called me yesterday to complain that I didn't blog on Friday for Michael Jackson's 50th birthday. I think some of you can guess who that particular person was.
Anyway, I have learned many important things since Friday, including how to drive a pickup truck, how to throw a mattress down the stairs, how to score a new bed (thanks, cat!), that Tastykake DOES still make coconut juniors, and that contacting food companies is a family trait, as one of my sisters may or may not have called Keebler about the re-launching of Hydrox.

I perhaps should have foreseen this

The name of my blog comes from a nickname my cousin gave me when I got a spare at our now defunct New Year's Day Family Bowling Extravaganza. I chose it because I like how it sounds, and because it comes with a fun hand gesture. It did not occur to me that some people might think it's associated with a certain genre of fanfiction, until I started getting those "Jonathan Horton slash" hits (eight, people! EIGHT). Yesterday, someone found my blog through a search for "Christian Bale slash." I am considering just throwing out random names of popular male celebrities just to increase hits.

And, so far, there have been no hits from people searching for "Daniel Craig slash," leading me to the irrefutable conclusion that I am right.

Go Joe!

Watching Biden's speech last night, I felt like the Mongolians did after they won their first gold medal ever. I'm always extremely proud to be from Delaware, but was even more so yesterday. We don't get much attention, so the thought of one of us being part of a historic election is thrilling. In the spirit of national unity, I chose to wear my "The Best Girls are from Delaware" shirt instead of this one:


But seriously, suck it, Rhode Island.

Buy some now!

I'm hesitant to put this out there, for fear that my enemies will exploit it, but I have a new weakness:


They are amazing. I have had nine already today.

A message to Jimmy Rollins

Dear J-Roll,
If you want be more well-received in Philadelphia, it would behoove you not to take two strikes looking and then pop out to third with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th against a team .5 games ahead of you for first place.
Yours,
