Aaaand goodbye dissertation work!

What movie is that from? That's fantastic!

I suppose you can claim whatever you want when you aren't actually a good person.

I was driving yesterday when I heard this on Michigan Radio. I had to pull into a parking lot for a few minutes because I was not fit to drive. When Rick Snyder is willing to veto a Republican bill you should probably stop to consider that you might actually be crazy.

I have never thought about any celebrity's forehead other than Tyra Bank's, so I would be completely ill-prepared to participate in this survey.

Honestly, I'd rather eat nothing at all rather than eat cereal for breakfast. It is delicious and then 2 hours later I NEED FOODZ and end up eating a another full meal. If I hold out on breakfast I usually make it 3+ hours before I'm really hungry and have a full meal (and I actually concentrate really well when I…

I think if you look at the numbers in Western countries you are totally right. However, the Church is expanding in Africa and parts of Asia (where birthrates are generally higher anyways) and I think there will simply be a shift in the center of the Church from Europe and the Americas to these regions. The priests at…

Oooh! Good to know for next time!

Exactly! I would never buy anything from them at full price. I usually wait until it gets down to at least 50% of the original sale price.

On Black Friday they had 20% off. That was something.

When I was doing LDR I once had a horribly vivid and mundane dream in which my boyfriend broke up with me via IM (which was our main means of communication at the time because the time difference meant that we were only awake at the same time while he was at work). I then spent the rest of the dream searching for a…

This is so great! It seems like it would be useful when you wanted to refer to a non-specific person (e.g., One mustn't do ...), but the way you would usually do this in Swedish would be to say "Man måst inte göra ..." and Man/One actually is the word for a person of the male gender. I like hen better.

I've been here for years and have made plenty of great friends, but aside from that joke (which gave me some anxiety when I first got here because I felt like I had zero time to exercise or cook) she is one of the best people I know. The bridesmaids bit was because I had already ordered my dress and it would have been…

Yeah, it's definitely a challenge! I was so used to being outside a lot of the time (even just sitting outside to read or talk on the phone) and now I try to minimize time exposed to the elements for 5 months a year (it's already started). But I've grown to really like it here and tend to gain 5 lbs. or so each time I…

Not sure if this is better or worse than my best friend's response to me moving to Michigan from California for grad school which was "Don't get fat in the Midwest!" and "Remember, no fat bridesmaids." She was mostly joking.

I for one am in favor of the giraffe invasion of the internet. I've been obsessed with them since I was a little kid. All hail our long-necked overlords!

A few years ago I went as Mrs. Baked Potato Head (I did not think about the drug reference when I made it up). Boyfriend and I used a roll of aluminum foil to create a tube top and and skirt. Make sure to tape the edges so you don't cut yourself. Then I bought those glasses with a fake nose and mustache and voila! I'm…

Nope, now he's Snoopzilla (not kidding).

Other than the tiers I just want to steal her dress for whenever I get married. So, so pretty!

I hope so. Let's do this again a little closer to the midterms, kay Republicans?
