“What if we drunk dialed Spencer Pratt tonight? *67 and let him have it!”
– A friend who shall remain nameless.
I may still have his phone number stored in my BlackBerry from an interview I did two years ago.
“I’d rather regret the things I have done than the things I haven’t.”

Internets.
Dan: How long until your 'net is restored?
Me: Jan. 17th... Frakkin' A, I say. Although it's going to be pretty sweet when I get it.
Dan: OMG. That's a long time from now.
Me: I know. That was the soonest installation date I could get. Apparently installation takes 4-6 hours.
Dan: WTF
Me: The installation guy and i might be BFFs by the time it's over.
Dan: Are you buying your internet from NASA?
Shea: Apparently, yes
Erin is moving to DC to be with her boyfriend, aka...
Me: Congrats! When everything falls into place, you know it's meant to be!
Erin: No joke. Now let's just hope & pray he doesn't start crying as we pull into ... Ohio?
Me: ROFL

“Your neither witty nor charming, but you do seem to be quite the drunk.”

Stop.
Things people do on Twitter that will likely result in me unfollowing them or, at the very least, curse their name while shaking my fist at the computer:
Say “Good Morning” or “Goodnight” or “Hello” or Goodbye.” No one cares.
Use Brightkite, a service that posts your actual geographic location so your tweet looks something like “I’m at Your...
“Christmas was ok. I dubbed it my Merry Gay Christmas because I spent it with...”
– Me, in an email to Jana.
It sums up my Christmas quite nicely.
Resolutions.
I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions. Why? Because I will likely lose interest in them by February and I don’t believe in setting myself up for failure.
And, frankly, if you require a new calendar year to decide how you should fix your flaws or accomplish your goals, well… that’s just kind of sad.
Vacay.
I’ve been without internet for the past four days because I may have downloaded a bunch of music illegally while borrowing my neighbor’s wi-fi only to discover they password protected it the next day. Bastards. Actually, I don’t blame them for wising up, but unsecured wireless networks are pretty much thebomb.com. My AT&T U-Verse is scheduled to be installed mid-Jan, which...

– Kurt Vonnegut
“…You are beautiful and one of the most hilarious people I know. And you...”
– My friend, Mandy, to me. I needed this pep talk.
Daniel: So what’s the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum, or is it something else? Maybe… school - are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all? Sam: You really want to know? Daniel: I really want to know. Sam: Even though you won’t be able to do anything to help? Daniel: Even if that’s the case, yeah. Sam: Okay. Well, the truth...
Matt: So you know [redacted], my partner at Cherp?
Me: Oh, you mean your little friend?
Matt: No. He's isn't a fairy or pixie. I don't carry him in a magical glowing vial, nor do i keep him in a small lantern on a stick in my backyard. He's a real sized person.

Do you have any idea how badly I want to blog...
This is a test of my ability to keep something private.
It’s hard.
The saga of Matt's jeans makes the newspaper →
I’m the publicist for a pair of jeans. No joke.
The gripping tale of Matt’s jeans really does entertain the masses…
“Serious flaw in Internet Explorer not fixed yet. Specifically, its continued use”

Authenticity.
In a long convo last night over coffee, the topic of how you portray yourself and how others perceive you from your blog (and Twitter) was discussed at length.
My coffee companion suggested that one should try to write for their audience. I don’t know if this is how he meant it, but I took that to mean play it safe. Try not to offend or upset. Remain neutral and generally pleasing. Make...

Things I'm kind of in love with right now
My house. It gets cuter every day. I’m obsessed with it. Even the creepy basement seems less creepy (and more like a great place to host a prom party - more on that later).
The pugs. Duh.
Snow. Duh again.
Afternoon coffee.
Christmas. Specifically the NSync Christmas CD and tasteful holiday decorations (none of that obnoxious blow-up Santa shit). Did I just use NSync and tasteful in the...
“…When a girl who isn’t a close friend or whom you don’t like calls you...”
– Georgia
True. Story.

“If she ever says the words, “I hate you”: She loves you. Or she did at one...”
– Does She Love You? by Pasha Malla - The Morning News (via kacyann)
I also particularly like:
If you go to a karaoke bar with friends and do a duet of “Endless Love,” and she insists on doing the Lionel Richie part if only so she can really belt out a big “Ooh whoa” near the end, and when you’re...
Somehow I spent the last five hours thinking it...
Shit.
