Important and exciting things
I have a lot to update on… Christmas, my BIRTHDAY (thanks so much for all the well-wishes!), the season finale of Homeland and how many people I’ve subsequently tried to convert (I wish “I’ll pay for your Showtime” was a real option… cable companies should make giftcards), ten random facts about myself because that’s going around now (I love reading these...

Oh, Christmas.
Today, my parents handed me an envelope containing my grandmother’s annual Christmas check. And told ne I could open it today or tomorrow… I guess I’m officially a grown up.

So
I finally watched the Dexter season finale and two thoughts:
1. When they said homeland security was showing up, I totally thought/hoped Claire Danes was going to make a cross-show appearance (I know, she’s CIA, blahblah).
2. Why did the intern mail Dexter the hand??????

chatter:
Things I discussed at Brooke’s Tumblr meetup last night:
How I hate nail polish
How I hate Harry Potter
How I hate Erin Condren planners
How I haven’t read the Hunger Games
How I think Ryan Gosling looks weird and skinny
How I would not fly across country for a nationwide Tumblr meetup (Sorry Kristin)
I’m clearly the BEST.PERSON.EVER. to invite to tumblr parties.

An Annotated Response To That New York Post Tim...
fullcredit:
Tebow is respectful, wholesome and a man of God. He has no obvious failings besides an inaccurate throwing arm.
Well that is unfortunate, as THAT IS HIS JOB. Not to teach us all about Jesus. His job is to THROW THE BALL TO SOMEONE ELSE, and if he wasn’t talking about God all the fucking time, then no one would be talking about him.
The New York Giants famously prayed on the...

Recommendations, I got 'em
joannafreed replied to your post: Four

Interesting question!
I’m typically opposed to those “list out your favorite tumblrs” posts...

That like five different people were all, “you would LOVE this documentary on TLC, Virgin Diaries…”
I mean, they were completely right, of course… AWKWARD. So awkward. It’s like Extreme Couponing on crack, discomfort scale. So nauseated.

You should read this. For real:
I’m at Costco when the call comes the next day. The call was supposed to come between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., but the call comes at 2 p.m., so as soon as I look at the phone, I know something’s wrong. The radiologist asks if this is a good time to talk. I look around. I’m in a Costco. What am I supposed to say?No, let’s talk...

So today’s my fourth tumblrversary. That’s right, it was four years ago that Meredith and I were seated next to each other in our living room, practically daring each other to start blogs we assumed we’d forget the next month.
Obviously, I’m a little shocked I’m still here, but that isn’t the most shocking thing about this relationship of mine. Over the years,...
