I love Sahra too, but I have to say I also support Pringles Lust. I’m sure we can all live in the same world together.
My point: Yay, Riot in the Sky! :]
In support of one of the most amazing person you’ll ever meet! sahr would always be so happy for me every time i overcame my lust for pringles…
Crazy, cool Sahra Nguyen is making waves in the internet sky. Its a bird, its a plane…its a freakin’ riot! Check it out!

François R. Chateaubriand (via quote-book)
Lots of truth to this statement. Also, is that not the most French name you’ve heard in your life? His middle name might as well be Rosseau-Pierre-Jacques-Delacroix.

Random Thoughts of People Our Age →

I’ve seen this circulating the interwebs, but here ya go again in case you missed it.
These are the ones I like:
3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
13. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
39. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
52. It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
53. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
Bad Haiku Saturday: On the Subject of Boys
It’s Bad Haiku Saturday. I made it up today. Who knows how consistent this will be or how long it will last.
Anyway, this week I reimagine my thoughts when encountering certain boys into bad haikus. They’re bad because they’re not really haikus, and because the quality sucks. Enjoy!

CHILD’S POSE
You know I’m smitten.
Giggling from your sexy grin…
Wait, how young are you?
ACK BAR
You dance and look coy,
Treat me like no other man
Caught you courting boys.
