Cairo is burning. So is Egypt. Twitter is exploding. Everyone seems to have an opinion—many who do have never even been to Egypt but feel a strong sense of solidarity with the most remarkable revolution in a generation, perhaps. A revolution which importantly is not really caused by Twitter or by Facebook—as much as the self congratulatory...

So apparently he didn’t choose anyone the first time he was on the show. So I don’t get why he’s doing it again, but I give him credit for taking all this crap from these women about it.

I'm in the midst of that "pre-new beginig purge"
Going through my closet, which is a disaster, throwing out things that don’t fit or I haven’t worn. Things I’ve been saving in hopes that I’ll be back to my “living in lithuania” size (6). Reorganizing life in there. I always clean my closet when I’ve decided I need to take new control over my life again. My closet might be the indicator to my mental state...

Is the wanting of nice things and the ability to...
First it was a new TV, then a nice pair of quality jeans, now its nice bedding and a new couch (or a couch and an oversize chair in my case) soon I fear it will be an entertainment unit and a china hutch. I think I might actually be on the brink of adulthood if this is the case.

Sometime I forget my roomate is awesome.
She’s one of those riddiculous people that can pull off being near perfect without being smug or patronizing when she’s supportive. If I go the the gym and come back 45 minutes later all she says is “How was the gym? It was awful. I hate the gym.” While doing the Jilliam Michaels 30 day shred. She’ll drink champagne with you and cheer on your getting a real job while...

Music and Grieving
Its weird how music can drop you right back down into the grieving place. There are several songs I played on repeat during my last break-up; an awkward, six month long process of anger and anguish – all while he hooked up with my best friend whom I then lost as well. We were never “in a relationship” according to him – he is never in a “relationship”. However, it can be described as nothing else....
