I haven’t bought a t-shirt in over a month…
I think there must be something wrong with me.
There's a loop bus on campus that plays epic...
stephanielynnn:
It’s honestly the best thing ever. It makes going to class feel like a quest.
I use to talk to that bus driver a lot. No one ever said anything nice about him, but he plays soundtracks like the one from POTC, so he’s cool in my book.
The other awesome driver is the guy who narrates like he’s giving mock. ”9/10 Antisocial Sciences” And he plays rock...
I didn't even get his name *sarcastic sniff*
I had a customer last night who kept “asking for help” as a way of trying to flirt with me. He called me a “tall healthy girl” from somewhere in Europe (that was definitely not a part of my heritage).
He bugged me three or four times. The second to last time he was talking to me, he looked at my hair sticking out of the back of my bandanna get-up:
Because it’s...

YEAH!
I just confused Google’s predict-a-search!
Apparently not many people search “suits for lesbians”
Google: Suits for less?, large men? less than 500? WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!! I DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!!

whut?
I was watching the news and there was a man who was is suing a restaurant that goes by the name of the Heart Attack Grill because he had a heart attack while eating a triple bi-pass burger.
This is a place that lets people who are over 400 lbs to eat for free. Some of their food is 8000 calories. So duh.
I swear people are getting dumber exponentially. What’s funny is that he’ll...
My iPod was called Eclectic
He meant it in a good way, and he said that a lot of people say they listen to “a lot of different music,” but they really don’t. But I do.
What’s funny is that I don’t even have that big of a music library. Just lots of random shit. :D

Klingon Linguistics
Linguistics Professor: For instance, while English does not have this particular sound, other language, like say...uh, Klingon, does!

syntactician:
Geoff Pullum at Language Log recently reluctantly (because it’s not yet published) commented on a paper by a Yale economist, Keith Chen. In this paper, Chen argues that if your language has a grammatical future tense marker, you are less likely to save money, live healthily etc because the future seems like some other time, not to be worried about now. If your language uses present...

YES! Including blank stares, and drool

I'm not the biggest fan of country...
…But I think Whitney Houston ruined Dolly Parton’s ”I will always love you.”
Mostly because it’s loud screaming. No one actually knows that Whitney stole it, and that bugs me too.
With all this hype, I just wanted to share that tidbit.

So Taubarn poked me in the eye
With the sapphire star sword. I was trying to check on my mameshiba and I forgot he was dual-wielding.

Making Playlists
Makes me feel better. Especially when they’re nerdy.
Also, put-putting around the neighborhood makes for lots of happy…except my hips. They can bear children, but they can’t quite bear a motorcycle.
Can I also say, that “bearing a child” doesn’t seem to use the right kind of bear/bare…but apparently that’s right….

Looks like I'm going to Idaho this summer
I didn’t get the internship. I thought I’d at least qualify for a phone interview. ‘scuse me while I was down my sorrows with some chocolate milk and The Golden Girls.

If I ever dated Taylor Swift, I would relate everything to orange.
I would give her orange flowers, I would give her orange love letters, I would say “Orange” instead of hello or love.
Then, if I had to break up with her, I would do it with an orange letter inside an orange.
Good luck writing a song about me now Taylor.
Why did you go and peel the orange?...
Yay new followers!
I think some of you may have gotten lost. But that’s okay. I will enjoy your company nonetheless.

I want the internship people to reply
I want to know if I have a shot or not. Especially after this weekend. I’m just fortunate that I work at a record store and not some high-end place. Apple would have surely fired me by now. I can be sarcastic and not get into trouble at a record store…well, not too much trouble.
I got asked 7 times in the past 3 shifts about where the porn was. My answers varied between,...

I’m currently attempting to learn Finnish. I’ve already gotten pretty good with Swedish and I’m just working on better listening comprehension and adding words to my vocabulary. Now I’m moving on to one of the most difficult languages: Finnish.
If ANYONE speaks it, is learning…
Oh Finnish, you are so weird… MUUNNA!!!!
Interviewer: What would you say is the gayest thing about you?
Stephen Fry: Um, my preference for men and having sex with them rather than women in the end must be it.
