This is my bestie Sara. I recently convinced her to start her own Tumblr and she is awesome. Here are four reasons why I love her and I think you should follow her: At freshman orientation in high school she took a chance on a diminuitive brunette girl wearing a Minnie Mouse t-shirt (don’t judge). I didn’t know a single person at the school and she was hella tall, blonde and pretty. Her husband looks, acts and sounds JUST like Paul Rudd. For reals. He’s as hilarious as him too. She is one of the most loyal people I know. I don’t really deserve to be her friend still after some Mean Girls stuff I pulled back in high school and then my disappearing act of 1999 but she still loves me. She loves to cook as much as me and is the only one that understands my Julia Child/cookbook/food memoir obsession. So go follow her. You won’t be sorry. I promise!

scenes-from-my-hood: i realize katherine heigl is a mom now, and that’s great, and what a pretty baby! however, i honestly thought this was a photograph of shirley maclaine or something.  this woman is only 30 years old.  the hair and the outfit add 20 years.  work it out, heigl. ((image via))  Yep.

Taylor Swift

Okay Tumblrs. I need your help. I know I am way behind on this but in downloading some peppy-I-need-motivation music today I decided I might want some Taylor Swift, specifically Fearless, even more specifically “Love Story.” However, I can’t tell from the iTunes preview whether the whole album is worth buying or if I should just fork over the $1.29 each for a couple of the songs. I know this is a serious, serious, dilemma. What should I do?

I will always, always want him. Can you start making that list* before you’re in a relationship?

*ya know the list of celebrities you’re allowed to sleep with and it doesn’t count as cheating

Yeeep. Pacey was on my list years ago. The list now consists of the following:

* My boo Channing (duh)

* Ryan Reynolds

* Taye Diggs

* Common (before he did songs w/the Jonas Brothers)

* The new pretty eyed boo on Grays.

Who’s on your list?

Gerard Butler, Joshua Jackson, Chuck Bass (not Ed Westwick), and Columbus Short. Are there rules on the length of the list?

Oooh Pacey/JJ could still totally get it. And I must be in good Tumblr company because my others are: Chuck Bass (not Ed Westwick), Taye Diggs, Young Paul Newman, and Ryan Reynolds.

Five Random Facts..

stellarblondie:

So today has been absolutely bananas and craptastic but instead of complaining about it I’m going to tell you lovely readers 5 random facts about me.

If you feel so inclined, I would love to hear 5 of yours!

  • I was a amateur roller skater for 5 years (competitions, costumes, the whole bit) but had to stop when our rink and practice space was sold to a hockey team and the nearest one was 2 hours from home, I was forced to stop doing it
  • Growing up, my first pet was an “odd eyed” cat that my mom had adopted before I was born. He was pure white and had two different colored eyes (one brown and one blue). He was also diabetic so my mom gave him one shot of insulin every morning.
  • I am much more skilled at baking than cooking. For some reason cooking a full meal tends to overwhelm me and I definitely need to get better at pacing myself. I’m working on that.
  • I always steal the sugar flower on top of any birthday cake. Its my favorite part.
  • I have a serious obession with headbands. I have at least 40.
  • I have moved between/lived in Seattle and Portland a total of 3 times. I feel like the cities have been the perfect fit for me in different times in my life and right now Seattle is the right city for me. I kept my house in Portland in case I change my mind later. However, I still feel like my life will be incomplete until I live in NYC for some small amount of time.
  • I sometimes have panic attacks when I think about Gandalf getting old and I have to make a decision to put him to sleep.
  • I saw Nate Robinson the other day and he is WAY shorter than 5’ 8”. Me thinks sports stats are like online dating. Guys always lie about their height.
  • On a related note my dream was to be a sportscaster and I was even a sports management minor (broadcasting major) in college. I loved every single second of it but didn’t think I was camera-ready (aka pretty enough) in my early twenties to persue it so I went with PR instead.
  • I love my cousins something fierce. All of them. Seriously, I don’t know what or who or where I would be today without them.

“

But the cultural implications of the decline of broadcast television may be as profound as the business forces at play. Gone are the days when the nation gathered around television sets in the evening to watch, say “The Cosby Show” or “All in the Family” and then chat about it the next day at work.

Broadcast television was “a place, an arena, where ideas were presented in a fashion in which people could become attached to or explore,” said Mr. Newcomb, the professor.

“Issues with civil rights and the women’s movement were embedded into entertainment programs and people would see them and either accept it or reject it,” he said. “Today, you can watch TV and not have to be challenged.”

”

Sadly, very very true. I wrote about this in a Media in the 1950s class (probably my favorite class EVER) paper that I hope to develop into a book someday.

“I want to think New York for being a great muse. I wanna thank everybody outside of New York who got inspired by the record because it’s about inspiration, it’s about a journey..A guy who comes from Marcy Projects who did not let that define him but let that inspire him to be more.” Jay-Z, accepting his AMA for rapper of the year (via mascarah)

Get a hold of yourself

imnotthatkindofgirl:

Saturday night we went out for roommie’s birthday. A friend of ours met up with us after going out with some other friends. Two of her co-workers followed her to the bar we were at. One such co-worker is 41. This woman was a hot mess. Straight up crazy. She was hitting on one of our friends, which if she wasn’t crazy would have been fine, but her desperation was seeping out of every pore on her crazy 41 year old body. At one point she decided it would be appropriate to start asking us (myself and the friend) about our guy friend…her line of questioning started out innocent then progressed to asking if we know if he’s good in bed. I was finally able to excuse myself from the conversation and went to tell the roommie and some of our other friends about it. She wasn’t too happy that we were talking about her, but hopefully it was a wake-up call. Because, damn woman, get a hold of yourself.

Then…

I saw New Moon with the roommie yesterday. Grown ass women need to get a hold of themselves. Grown ass women should not be audibly cheering when a 17 year old takes off his shirt on screen. And by grown ass women, I’m referring to women old enough to be my mother, much less his. I’m all for appreciating Taylor Lautner. I have appreciated since he was cast for Twilight. But that shit was uncomfortable. If 15 year old girls have the ability to not gasp and cheer when someone within their dating age takes off his shirt, then I think you grown ass women can handle it as well.

Just so we’re clear, that boy is majorly hot. I was perfectly happy with him taking his shirt off, until the grown ass women made me uncomfortable. Don’t go all Freud on me, I was not uncomfortable because these women, and myself, find him attractive. I was uncomfortable because, like I said, you’re a grown ass woman who can’t seem to control her vocal chords when a 17 year old takes his shirt off, despite being in the company of 8 year olds. Yes there were 8 year olds in that theater, which in all honesty is a whole other issue.

 Ha ha ha ha. This is some funny (because it’s true) ish!
