Al-Jazeera English is the best! Love it.

Living abroad. Sexy times made easy! Everyone wants to sleep with a foreigner!

This made my heart grow three sizes :D

WHATEVER YOU DO, ONLY BUY ONE! When I was a kid, I really wanted one. The pet store owner told my dad that they needed to be bought in pairs so that they wouldn’t get lonely, which caused the birds to bond with each other and be terrified of me. I was slack-jawed watching YouTube videos of those birdies being so good…

Baby greens with roasted broccoli, mandarin oranges, miso tofu, avocado, toasted slivers of almond, pickled onions, cucumber and carrot slices with a ginger-soy dressing. YUM.

Hey there! I ended up getting the internship! I’m so excited! I’m going to an orientation session on Monday, and then I’ll be starting the actual work shortly after that. Thanks for all your advice and support- I don’t think I’d be here without it!

Hey! Thanks for thinking of me!

Did you go to the wishing steps and do the whole closed-eye walking-backwards wish thing??

Full disclosure: I’m a basic white bitch

BECAUSE

YES YOU SHOULD READ “UNACCUSTOMED EARTH” BY JHUMPA LAHIRI

That is awesome!! I’ve never been to a Ren faire. I’ve always wanted to go! Admire some jugglers for me!

Eucerin or Trader Joe’s midsummer night’s cream (extra dry formula) is what I slap on in right after showering. Then I’ll touch up throughout the day if I need to (or maybe before going to bed).

Sunscreen, mascara and chapstick.

In the past month, I’ve read everything by Jhumpa Lahiri. I’m obsessed with works that deal with dissonance in families, and her writing is beautiful.

Start dating someone else!! Worked for me :)

Good! I’m visiting with my best friend for the first time in two months, and we’re going to drink bottles and bottles of wine.

....That’s not how names work. THAT’S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS.

True! We’re 25 years old. And 43 is NOT past potential-sex-worker prime! Work it!
