Terrible email to get from your boyfriend
Subject: i have a confession to make
That may freak you out a little. (Only a little though.)
Not gross or anything. Just on an emotional level.
Let me know when you’re in a good place.
(It was just that he’s been referring to me as his fiance when talking to recruiters, but dear God, the panicked thoughts that just crossed my mind almost gave me a heart attack. I appreciate the heads up,...

Birthday plans!
Boom! I love Tumblr. Thank you all for listening to me vent about birthday woes and not thinking I’m a big giant bitch about my birthday. (Six years of having your birthday ruined by one person, and you start to get a little bitter. The stories I have would curl your toes out of awkwardness.)
Anyway, I realized that I’m taking the MPRE on the 17th (oops?) so I’ll be doing...

Call me Benjamin Button.
(Scene: In the office where my interview was on Wednesday, riding the elevator.)
Woman in elevator: Don’t worry, you get used to the elevator stuttering. Me: Oh. loosens death grip on railing Thanks. Woman: Interview today? Me: Yes! How did you know? Woman: The nice suit! Are you a 1L or a 2L? Me: Oh… no, I graduated, but thanks! Woman: Oh! You look so young, I just assumed!

Tomorrow is the last day without the judge.
I woke up this morning with a little bit of a headache… so I took a mental health day.
I could have gone into work, but I just didn’t feel like it. And I had no work to do anyway.

People often ask me "So, why Reproductive Rights?"
megwhat:
Actually, as of late it’s happened A LOT.
And truthfully, I have no personal experience that’s driven me to fight for something I didn’t have access to or was too afraid to seek or couldn’t afford to seek. I’ve always had an open and honest relationship with my parents and my sexual partners about my use of contraceptives. I’ve always lived in states where access to contraceptives...

Home from work/interview early!
Home alone!
Close front door, let dog out, shoes off, jacket off, pants off, pistachio time.
Perfect.

Rent-a-Catholic's 40 days without...
I still give things up for Lent, despite being pretty anti-Catholic Church as an organization, because I’m culturally Catholic and still get along with God. Plus, I dunno, it sorta assuages my genetic guilt over being a terrible Catholic the other 10.5 months of the year.
Last year for Lent I gave up spending unnecessary money. That was too broad. I found loopholes. It’s like...

Terrible Idea Tuesday
Going on a dog rescue site when you cannot presently adopt a dog. I WANT ALL OF THEM.
(Also when you’re paranoid that your crock pot is going to set your house on fire and injure your adopted dog. Can someone assure me this won’t happen?)

Slug Life to Slim Life
Today I’m starting a new diet. I know - I’m like Mindy freaking Kaling with all my diets. This one isn’t so much about losing weight but about improving my general health. (Although, if those last ten stubborn pounds went away, I wouldn’t hate it.) I was considering starting a weight loss/health blog, but I figured I post so much about food on here anyway that it...

Oh no!
Bon Iver just put himself to sleep!
But White Butler seems to be really into it.
Justin Timberlake is perfect.

A lot of you want to kill Gale.
I totally get that. I’m theoretically into the dangerous bad boy thing (says the girl who dates a computer scientist), so that was what swayed me. I know Gale’s crazy, but like, maybe it could be a good thing. Right? It’s a passionate kind of crazy. Also, I agree with this comment: shesagoodegg replied to your post: FMK: Peeta, Gale, Cinna
I always assumed Cinna was gay...

It's official - I've done all the work.
All the work I have to do for the entire period the judge is gone.
I’m in the office for THREE MORE DAYS next week without any work to do.
This sounds awesome, but I’m actually getting bored. May I humbly request some funny questions, stories, logic puzzles, FMK quandaries, ANYTHING.
You all look really nice again today… :)
(Oh, and we can totally discuss Top Chef now...

The craziest girl from my college class wrote a...
I repeat: A self help book.
She has not had a job of any sort since we graduated in 2008. This is the same girl who advised her Facebook friends to “not put a condem on God’s love.” This is also the girl who went on an absolute tirade during our senior year for pura vida and the end of patriarchy and capitalism and formal government… and eventually got voted homecoming...

IT IS.
I haven’t seen Andrew since last weekend and I’ve been using the time I’d normally spend with him on Tumblr.
TUMBLR IS MY BOYFRIEND.

IF ANYONE SPOILS TOP CHEF SO HELP ME I WILL END...
Love you but it got spoiled for me on Thursday last week despite a properly used Tumblr Savior filter.
Just give me fair warning to scroll by. That’s all. I just need like 24 hours.
You all look really pretty today. Have I told you that?
