DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?!

Also, my 28th was my first birthday without my mother, so it meant a lot to me that I had friends around. I'm glad it worked out because it's what I feel like I needed, but I didn't need that this year. And on my 30th next year, I might just make sure I have a reservation at the city's best vegan restaurant.

Girl, I feel you. I just turned 29 on the 18th. My 28th was randomly one of the better birthdays I have ever had. I just had a bar night in Brooklyn (though I live in Philly) and more people than I would have ever expected showed up. Then last week I tried to just throw a happy hour and no one responded to my RSVP -…

I noticed that and am on a personal mission to get them un-grayed. But I'm just a gray, so ....

Target has some ready-made Indian meals and I once found one that was pretty good, but then made the mistake of thinking they were all good. NO BUENO. I ended up throwing out a bunch mid-lunch at work. Then I got sick of the "good" one after like two eatings.

I haven't seen it, but I just wanted to give you a star because I feel like when I see it I will feel this.

Okay, I feel like a rube here, but I have bought these before and can't figure out how to actually make them work. Before you ask - no, I am not a neanderthal and I have used regular razors. But I'm a total self-learner in the lady game and do only the minimum, so I thought these would be my answer - BUT the hair was…

I was very into gymnastics as a kid (but only lessons- not competitive) and I could only ever do a back hand-spring with a spot or on the tramp. Now I am an old and broke my foot two weeks ago playing in an alumnae lacrosse game. So .... that. I quote, "So, go Mikayla!"

You go! Only thing I "made myself" today was Ramen .... I microwaved it and added A-1. I also *made* myself drunk.

I'm doing serious Wikipedia-ing right now and discovered this re: one of Mia's brothers (which I now recall knowing previously, but forgot): "In November, 2012, Farrow's youngest son, John Charles Villiers-Farrow, was charged with sexually abusing several children near his home in Edgewater, Maryland." Unrelated to…

I left NJ two years ago for Philadelphia and am SO HAPPY my Jersey brothers and sisters pulled through on this. If there is one state in the union that makes you "true 'til death", it's Jersey. Love to you all tonight.

I've been following/crushing on Ronan Farrow for a few years and I am so worried this is a jump-the-shark moment. Getting on TV is great and all (for some people), but it seemed that he was poised to do some really important *real* work in the international forum. Not to say that pundits and the like can't affect…

A few years ago - when I was 26 or so - some dude at a bar was hitting on me/my friend (mostly my friend) and was running some ridiculous game we weren't buying. He said, "this always works on stupider girls." I snapped back, "Well I got a 1380 on my SAT," and just grabbed my friend's arm and walked away.

This would be significant if music videos were still significant at all. I could see this being big in the '90's a la Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" and its contemporaries that pushed the envelope.

I haven't read any of the other MANY posts, but I wish my mom had shown me tampons. She wasn't religious and didn't intentionally steer me away from tampons - I was just the type of kid who didn't want to talk about it. So after begrudgingly accepting my first pad when I was 11 - at school during a mock trial, no…

I hate Vine videos. I see their purpose and all - dogs and cats are cute, visual trickery is fun - but I'm 28 and relatively clued in to the internet and I spend so much time clicking and double-clicking on things to try to get to make them "work."

MAN, how I wish that movie could be wiped from our cultural lexicon ...

and this is why i actually love the shit out of cats. DANGER!

And, this just in: I never realize how long-winded I am until I am forced to sit back and look at what the fuck I just wrote.
