my parents got me a soda-maker for my birthday last year and my favorite thing is making cold fizzy water and then pouring a little bit of juice (and sometimes liquor) in it.

we are the same!!! i love food. all of it. my boyfriend and i both love to cook. my favorite social outing is to try a new restaurant (side note—last weekend i tried a new place for brunch and got these lettuce wraps on bibb with tempura fried shrimp, vermicelli noodles, and a cilantro sauce with truffle soy sauce for…

i vividly remember breaking down and crying in front of my parents multiple times when i was living at home after college, because i would feel so helpless about what i was allowed to eat that night. i stopped going out to dinner with them and would eat something sad at home instead. weight watchers does work really…

trust me, i have the special (titled “DEGRASSI TAKES MANHATTAN”) on DVD.

jude was SO COOL!!!! i wanted hair like hers for years. she’s probably half the reason i still have bangs. i really want/need to rewatch the series.

emma was a real turd, through and through. do you know how her arc on degrassi ended? DO YOU KNOW???

HOW ABOUT INSTANT STAR???

correct on all counts, because her cousin had to go back to the philippines when she got pregnant. she was wearing a powder blue tracksuit, per ushe.

HIS BROTHER’S NAME ON THE SHOW WAS TRACKER AND HE WAS HOT A F

this is my favorite show. i’ve received multiple consolation texts this evening. if you know one thing about me, dear fellow commenters, let it be that i am a diehard degrassi fan. i skipped my 8th grade winter dance to watch craig (!) get caught cheating on manny and ashley. i gasped when emma gave jay blowjobs like…

i have an actual issue with the insinuation that a woman cannot wear a skin-tight dress and make a living off of her family’s empire and also be into reading books. like it or not, the kardashian/jenner family is full of smart businesswomen who, despite what the editing staff at E! would like you to think, probably do…

ADULTASAUR HOLD ME

it’s bizarre to me too!!!! i didn’t REALLY know what i was doing, i was just like sitting in the bath and was poking around downstairs and felt a tear and just like... tore it the rest of the way and was like AH WHAT DID I DO because i was expecting it to hurt but it never did because it’s just a flimsy piece of…

i definitely tore mine on purpose in the bath when i was a kid, and then promptly FREAKED THE FUCK OUT BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED. and then forgot about it and didn’t even think about it when i did actually have sex like 10 years later. the obsession makes no sense at all.

this doesn’t totally relate but i just wanted to be able to share this story: one of my biggest writing/life inspirations is cheryl strayed, author of “wild” and the dear sugar column on the rumpus. like, an edition of dear sugar called “tiny beautiful things” quite literally changed my life in at least 3 ways. so my…

we went through a surface-level history of all the groups that have occupied the space but mostly focused on the following: religious groups, such as hutterites; first nations/inuit; the tension between french canada and the rest; the residents of newfoundland; expatriates from other countries. the last day of class,…

one of my favorite classes in college was “peoples of canada” and it’s totally because i got to find out about the hockey sweater and the fact that the sweater is on your money. HA HA!

just look it up on yelp

they also have very affordable cute jewelry that is usually buy 2, get 1 free!

my mom had a rule that we had to try a bite of everything on our plate and if we didn’t like it, we had to make ourselves something else. i ate a lot of peanut butter sandwiches in elementary school.
