Oh, Lea Michelle from Glee, you just tweeted how you worked with Garry Marshall today on your movie? Well, that’s cool. I hung out with him and Scott on Saturday, you know, watching football and stuff. Yeah. We are totally BFF. But don’t be a diva about it.
my master’s classes are making me feel old. we’re talking about developmental theories and other students (who are around my age) like to relay information about themselves in our discussions. I can’t relate to a lot of what they say.
the average person my age is single, job-hopping, avoiding responsibility, financially dependent, potentially living with their parents, trying...

my life is such a wreck. the past few weeks have been an emotional mess because of issues in my family and now i’ve got grad school to add to everything i was already trying to balance.
it’s so hard to focus right now. stupid presentation.
i am so proud when i am able to make clear arguments against another person’s ridiculous behavior and win out. there have been too many times in my life when the people who are supposed to be supportive and logical have used emotional and physical abuse to stop me from speaking against them. it made me terrified to stand up for myself; i would literally start crying. and that person who is...

I just have to say, if “What did you do today?” and “What newspapers do you read?” are ‘gotcha’ questions, then I’d love to see this woman during a real job interview.
Here’s a hint, for one of her weaknesses, she should say “Answering questions.”

Oprah: Do you feel like the big star that everybody says you are? Tina Fey: Not exactly. One day last week when I was writing, I was in my sweatpants, exhausted, and I realized I’d just eaten six Kit Kats in 10 minutes.

is this me writing again?
maybe. i guess.
not sure if there’s a point though. my experience with blogging has been very cold. by that i mean it’s like sitting alone in dark room talking out loud.
IS ANYBODY THERE?
but what if there are people there? but what if i’ve never met those people in my life?
do i really want randos knowing my personal business?
so there you have it. somehow i manage to...

does having a blog make your life interesting or does having an interesting life give you permission to have a blog?
if it’s the latter, this thing should definitely be deleted.

I was obsessed when I was younger. I even wrote Ann Martin a letter once, and she wrote me back!
crazy people
our apartment complex has a gym in the clubhouse. when i went this afternoon, there were three people in there already — including this guy who kept singing out loud to his iPod. so weird.
reasons i'm mad at twitter
so, i was thinking, maybe i should just sign-up for an account in case i decide to start using it or whatever.
my first name, which is very unique for those who read this and don’t know me (i can 95% promise that you have never heard it before), is already taken by some tool named Jason! WTF.
second, i thought about using my last name, which is also ridiculously unique and you’ve...
Relay for Life →
Seeing as I work for the American Cancer Society and am a past and current participant of the Relay for Life event, I want to encourage you (no matter where you live) to consider participating as well. One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer, which means that chances are you know someone who has battled this horrible disease or have battled it yourself.
I started to Relay my freshman...
The One Week Digital Cleanse
jhnmyr:
Mention to anyone with computer savvy that your laptop has somehow gotten slower over recent months and they’ll ask you the same thing: “have you defragmented your hard drive?” Defragmenting works by taking small slivers of information stored in various locations and consolidating them so that they’re in the same place on the drive and thus easier to access in larger chunks. Hard drive...

i need to start going to bed earlier.
waiting for the hubby to get home from work at 1:30am when I have to be at work by 9am isn’t working out well. i’m super tired when i get home and don’t have enough energy to work out or do anything.

6 billion people on the planet. Approximately 2.5 billion camp fires per day + whatever else is used to sell to these people. And you are going to look me in the eye and say with a straight face that THIS DOES NOT INCREASE GLOBAL WARMING?

in another life, i would be liz lemon/tina fey.
or “lesbian yellow sour fruit” hahaha that was a great line. 30 rock is amazing. if i run into tina fey while i’m in nyc this week, i’m gonna hug her and be super creepy.
i have been slightly obsessed with the fact that tiger woods’ real name is “eldrick” even before this whole episode. but now that i have to hear about him all the time, i keep thinking “eldrick woods!!! hahaha, you pretentious bastard!”
ELDRICK!! would you like a spot of tea? hahaha best name ever!!!
for the record, i hate all cheaters, regardless if...
Eldrick Woods is a hack. The woman he was cheating on his model wife with isn’t very attractive. I feel so bad for his wife and kids. They have to pay for his idiocy.
Honestly, at least have the decency to end the marriage before you have a fling with someone else. What is wrong with people?

a secret
i don’t believe in reincarnation, but sometimes there are these little black bugs that fly into our apartment. once in awhile, when i see one, i’ll grab a tissue to smash it but hesitate to finish it off. i worry that it’s my grandpa coming to visit me. and i don’t want him to die, again.
i miss him.
best online shopper award
i am amazing. you’re thinking, “umm… okay? weirdo.” but your world is about to be rocked.
i got a $40 gift card to victoria’s secret for my birthday. that’s not the best part. the best part is that i spent $40.86 (yes, i shelled out a whole 86 cents of my own money) to get this:
2 knit scarves
3 sweaters
1 cardigan
(cue oprah yell) AAAHHHMAAAZZZINNNGG!!
a married christmas
this will be my first christmas as a married person. i’m looking forward to it because it will be the first time the hubby and i will spend the holiday together. during college we were always in separate time zones, visiting our respective families for christmas break (or, to be pc, holiday break).
anyway, there is apparently one downfall to the whole married christmas situation which the...

…but i don’t understand the point of twitter still. i really don’t think anyone cares what i had for breakfast and i certainly don’t want to inform the entire internet world when i’m out of town so someone can rob my apartment.
can anyone explain to me the purpose of twitter? a purpose that isn’t already fulfilled by my blog or facebook?

dear everyone:
my name is not Jason. i’m not even male! WTF.
seriously, though, how can you look at my name and then copy it as “jason”? this is the second time in 2 years this has happened.
so depressing.
crazyness
along with my fourth interview last week with the american cancer society, i had an interview with another organization for a position that was part of AmeriCorps. when i accepted the position with acs on monday, i emailed the other organization to let them know i had taken an offer. this morning, the woman i met with for the organization called me (without having checked her email) to offer me...
