Smartying - (verb) 1. Smart partying - checking yourself prior to wrecking yourself “oh man, I’m so hungover this morning, bro” “not me, man! We were smartying hearty last night!”
I can now cross off create and define word, have word pubished in dictionary from my lifetime to-do list thanks to GChat and my dear friend Fred. We smarty hard, yo.

In Other Depressing News: I Just Filled Out a Form...
Me: I have to go to a meeting for my 401K. I know nothing about financial planning.
Fred: Just put tons of money in!

Me: like an indentured servant to separate the marshmallows from the whole grain in my Lucky Charms.
Fred: Think of a 401K as something you can spend your money on and in exchange get a warm fuzzy feeling.
Me: Well, that's not quite as good, but I suppose it will work.

Lost in Space
Ian moved out on Saturday morning. Combine that with menstrual cramps gnawing at my insides and you’ll find me curled underneath my desk cuddling a bottle of Tylenol 3 and speed dialing my mothers.
Today in GChat
Muska: Britney Spears might convert to Islam. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to Afghanistan. Even considering the Soviet invasion and the Taliban regime and the current war, I still think that Britney's recent conversion is the worst thing to ever happen to my people.
Me: HAHAHAHA

– - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I came across this quote last night as I was dozing off while browsing through Tropic of Cancer. I think it speaks well to our general obsession with personal history and the downfall of many blogs. Ralph was a true trend spotter.

– - LeMaldeTete, in response to Snap Judgment: One-Half Of TomKat Gets Let Out Of The Bag
The above statement lends itself to two things I woke up thinking about in the wee hours of the morning.
1. Is it possible that my hair has become straighter over the years simply due to the sheer amount of...

Watch— dalasverdugo An hour ago I never knew that I needed this magical product. Now I’m Googling bus routes to Top Foods in Shorline, the closest grocery store that carries it. Thanks, Tumblr!
I’ll have a stack of Batter Blasters with a side of eggs and Bacon Salt, please.
