I wish breaking up with friends was as easy as breaking up with boyfriends. There really should be an easier way to walk away from a rotten friendship that gives you nothing but headaches and stomach pains.
I’m pretty good at this, maybe it’s because I’m a selfish bitch (I’d like to pretend it’s because I’m incredibly impatient and don’t liek...

I’m all about testing you tonight.
I could only name 57. But I blame baseball for distracting me.
Ugh, only 55. Sad. I tend to zone out when I’m watching tv and kinda forgot I was doing something…

I’m just surprised people would take chances with my ability to have a kid. If I birth a baby, I will indoctrinate that child with my liberal ideals and godless values, do they really want another Democratic voter...

I worked all by myself today (this statement makes me sound like I’m four, when in fact, I’m four and a half), only stoping fort a couple of frantic trips to the bathroom (who knew two cups of coffee would make me pee that much?)
It was, in a word, awesome. Sometimes, read: usually, I prefer to work alone. Not only do I get to pick the music, but I’ve got time to think without...

Big pink hoop dress, small furry white dog, clown make up.

Hi, I'm Erin and I'm a shopaholic.
I would greet you but you wouldn’t be able to see me over the tower of recent purchases; I bought a watch, a snowboard, and a new purse in the last week.
seriouslythough:
Some people eat their feelings; I shop my feelings. Good, bad, and in between- all emotions deserve a material possession. I have a problem.
(The pair of high-waisted pants I just bought is really cute though. Oh...
μίμησις: The Oppressive Obsession with Originality
mills:
Of the various forms of vitriol on Tumblr, criticism for insufficient originality has often seemed to me most amusing. I corresponded earlier with someone who was taken to task today for creating a very interesting site which shares its focus with at least one previously published work, and was reminded again of how harshly we often judge those we perceive as being derivative, traceable,...
I worked at the campus bar when I was in school. Decent tips but I worked coat check so I got paid to sit around and blog or study for midterms. It cut into my social life though since most Greek parties were Thursday to Saturday.

“Also, in an effort to bone up on foreign policy, I went to the Times Square area and saw a film called ‘The Bush Doctrine’. It was not about politics.”

I don’t like either but I’ll go with Chucks but I’d get the new CT Lights.

It comes down to this: Stan Smith vs. Chuck Taylor. Pick a pair
I’m going with Stan. The ol’ Adidas kicks are my choice if I can only have one.
I agree, although my true devotion lies with the Sambas.
