Rant: Local News
Some cop’s life was just spared in a lovely fluke… I wasn’t really paying attention, but I think a bullet bounced off his badge.
So, naturally, the local news reporter asked him if THAT’S WHAT HE WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS… Say what?
He, of course, said he was grateful for family or whatever. I really wish he would have said something to the effect of, “Yeah, living...

Rant: Technology and Birthdays
Do you remember when, long before Facebook or your smart phone were there, only your closest friends and family members remembered your birthday (and maybe a smidge of control freaks with a birthday calendar)? I kind of miss that. Now everyone remembers your birthday… and I’ll get wishes from people who barely know me. I don’t exactly mind. It’s just, well, vaguely...
christmas is cancelled
me: *sigh*
mom: what's wrong?
me: i didn't get what i wanted
mom: YOU WILL NEVER GET A SNUGGIE FROM ME. NEVER!!
me: *sigh*

fun fact: ants hate cinnamon!
long story short, my parents are having an ant problem because of the northern california rains.
apparently if you sprinkle cinnamon around where the ants are headed, they change direction. i’ve been making a little cinnamon labrynth to keep them busy and out of the way.
plus… way cheaper and less toxic than poison!

A conversation with my friend Liz
(super skinny, super hot girl walks by)
Liz: Why don't we look like that?
Me: We did, we're just in our thirties now.
Liz: But we didn't look like that when we were in our twenties.
Me: That's because we were FEMINISTS. Instead of dressing up and looking pretty, we eschewed makeup and flattering clothing so that we could better take down the patriarchy.
Liz: And that worked.
Me: Totally. The world is a much more friendly place for females than it was in the mid-90s. All because of our ill-fitting cordoroy jeans and patchwork shirts.
Liz: She has no idea what we did for her.
Me: Bitch.

i miss my old neighborhood. i know it’s only been about a week and a half, but i miss it. not really los angeles, just my little section within los angeles. and my super comfortable bed. i know i can always move back to los feliz and get my bed back from my friend (or buy another one), but it would be really nice to walk down vermont and get a croissant and watch all the shop owners say hi...

a conversation with my mom about my future and...
Me: Can you repeat that?
Mom: Why?
Me: I started a secret Twitter account to document my time living here.
Mom: *Sigh*
Me: The guy who started "Shit My Dad Says" did exactly what I did with the blog Dad disowned me for in 2005...
Mom: Who?
Me: He got a production deal with CBS...
Mom: What, to clean floors?
Me: No, to make a sitcom. I told you this.
Mom: Yeah, well, it won't happen to you.

Only Connecticut, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Hampshire (ALMOST FORGOT) and Vermont allow same-sex marriage in the US.

Unless Holland is literally the only state within the Netherlands that allows such behavior, this headline should be written as Netherlands.
That being said, please don’t embarrass yourself New...
