This cheered me up immensely.

Oh, you don't know US evangelical hypocritical christians, do you? They're the ones still posting pics of Jesus as a blond. Cognitive dissonance is their specialty.

I got laid off because of budget issues on Thursday. Today is my 29th birthday. This dog is exactly what I needed.

The old saying "you pick your friends, but you can't pick your family" has hit home to me with a vengeance over the last 10 days. Previously I wrote about my neighbor dying at just 29 and him leaving a young wife with two boys under 2.

I think you missed the wearing watermelon trend from douban last year.

I am Winding down 47 tonight by sitting here with The Pop watching Sharknado! I hope to have a Happy Birthday tomorrow!!! 48! Wow!

Standard old blues line, I think I stole it from a book of folk songs, it was called Jelly Roll Blues. Anyway, the line is "If you don't like my peaches, you don't have to shake my tree. Stay out of the orchard, and leave my peaches be."

Ugh, a group of white people ganging up on the only non-white person for being "too PC" when she calls them out on their racism. Those people suck; I hope they all get painful canker sores tomorrow.

I adopted a kitty today! He's having a hard time adjusting so far and is mostly sleeping under my desk, so no pics, but I have a lot of experience with timid cats, so I'm letting him do his own thing.

They need the Jews to be in Israel for the rapture. I can't really say if that's the whole reason for the love? I think in the US anyway it's far more political than that. I'm from a country that has Lutheranism as the State religion, and there is no where near the same kind of support for Israel there. But at least…

I'm gonna sound like a little child... But here I go:

So... I climbed my potential new guy like a tree last weekend. The 8 month drought has ended. Dating a really attractive man has lead me to the realization that I have some serious self esteem issues though (I knew there was some self esteem issues before but not to this extent). Not really sure how to deal with it...…

I'm insanely envious of everyone's life. Everyone seems to have good shit going like buying houses, getting married, getting new dogs, going on great vacations and generally being happy. My husband and I are really struggling despite me being in a good job and not living beyond our means.

Just ask her questions about her youth and her life and let it roll. She's not an alien, she's just you in about 50 years.

Currently studying overseas, and realizing that one of my friends back home is the worst. Or at least very insufferable. It's all happening via technology too, and I miss the blissful days of not knowing this. She's a pretty close friend going back more than 10 years, but every picture she posts has these dumb racist…

Finally. Thank you for thinking of the victim(s), Kira.

• Drake and Chris Brown's first live duo performance in Toronto was cancelled because there really is a god and also Canada does not grant entry to US Citizens who have multiple criminal convictions or have been sentenced to jail time. Oops. [TMZ]

It really wouldn't surprise me if he spiked his pubes with more gel than he uses on his head.

I HOPE YOU'VE GOT YOUR EXTRA BAGGY CARGO PANTS FIRMLY ATTACHED TO YOUR WALLET CHAIN BECAUSE HERE COMES FIERI READY TO BLAST THEM OFF YOUR CANDY ASS AND ONTO THE FLAVORTOWN SPACE STATION ORBITING YOUR TASTEBUDS AT THE SPEED OF RIGHTEOUS.
