Tumblr Don't:
(While reading your dashboard.) Confusing Dear Old Love, the tumblr full of anonymous letters to old loves with Texts From Last Night, the tumblr full of, well, texts from last night.
Makes posts like this a little odd:
(651): Dude I’m so glad we’re not friends anymore. It would have made fucking your stepmom last night really awkward. Dickwad.
101 Simple Salads for the Season →
I know this has been posted to death, possibly even by me, but last night I made this:
94. Cook and cool quinoa. Toss with olive oil, loads of lemon juice, tons of parsley, some chopped tomatoes and, if you like, toasted pine nuts. Call it quinoa tabbouleh.
And it was deeeelightful. But I didn’t think the pine nuts fit in… pine nuts to me are Italian. So I ate around them. But I...
However...
I would like for PC to do my eyeliner.
I just want to say...
that I, like, really really REALLY care what PC has to say about every fashion show. Thanks, Bravo!

Confession: I never saw what everyone sees in Reid. Still don’t. Seems sweet, but not remotely attractive. (So, I’m shallow. What of it?)
i’m just a sucker for boys in glasses. and the neurotic type. i heart him.
TEAM REID. (In case I didn’t make that clear enough before.)
Texts from last night has a tumblr?!

I loooove this: the anti-stfumarrieds →
Gorgeous.
Why are there so many cool people on tumblr?
For reals, can we all be friends already?
“there seems to be some uproar in the blog world that they need some new blood...”
– Anu, on why we should film my Bachelor audition video while in Fire Island. She makes a good point.
Give credit where credit is due... →
Finally, someone comes to the vague defense of Ben Silverman.
Sometimes I just want one thing to go my way.

Do you ever feel like that?
All. the. time.

Enjoy!
“No I am not ready for that: A party invitation from a friend that included this...”
– ElizabethAnne
I can 100% relate! I had a weird moment this past weekend when I was in Atlanta, visiting one of my college BFFs, Dena. As referenced earlier (she was talking about her doll), we were hanging out with her boyfriend and his seven year-old daughter. Though I don’t feel old...

Brooke and Dan live-blogged! →
Go! Just go. Read. Now.
Including this gem:
8:18 Dan: Jillian to Kiptyn: “My family is a lot like yours”? Does she have a second family? Like one that owns the first family?
8:20 Brooke: The fact that she thinks he’s so hot confuses me. Has she seen those ears? It’s liberating to objectify men.
8:21 Brooke: Mom asks “How important is communication?” What’s he gonna...

That’s seriously depressing. Get thee to TEXAS, not Cali.
Number 17. Yes. →
True story.
@sportsgal33 Hey Reid—next time you surprise-propose, don’t wear a suit with no tie and white tennis shoes. Could have been the dealbreaker. I mean it.
“But that’s just it: We don’t know what’s in store so really...”
– I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti
There is little more satisfying than knowing that...

shiningstar:
That is what friendship is all about: hating perfect strangers on behalf of the people you love.
I do this for all my friends. Tell me somebody you hate and I can go into a 2 minute rant about why they suck dick.
You’re a good friend, Sade.
Good luck on the Bar Exam! →
For Aaron and everyone else taking it this week. :o)
SNL's Mom Jeans →

Dan live-blogs a sleepless night. →
And with that, I’m off to have what will hopefully not be a sleepless night… knockonwood.

Sunday night blues?
I’m on a plane, sitting on a tarmac indefinitely (ground delays at LGA - yay), next to a screaming toddler, whose mother asked me to switch to the aisle so he can’t get out of her lap in my window seat. Air travel is overrated.
White whine…

See ya Monday! Where I’ll be all excited for the Bachelorette finale!
XOXO,
Lemon.
The last sentence, at least, is true.
graceinsmallthings:
I ran into my ex on Madison Avenue one random Tuesday afternoon when I was working at Entertainment Weekly and popped out for a midday dentist appointment. Need I mention he LIVES IN SCOTLAND and was hand-in-hand with his (ugly)(boring) Finnish girlfriend on their first day of vacation, straight off the train from Grand Central? No ill-will toward either, I just speak the...
Funny cause it's true.
Ashley: i just spent awhile on STFU, marrieds
