Preppy Politico: July 2009
http://thepreppypolitico.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Thank you so much for your comments and advice. I don't really have a ton of girlfriends, because the girl:guy ratio in Blacksburg is like 1:15.which is normally great but not when I have any kind of drama going on. However, facebookw has intimated that there will be a large reunion around Christmas, when all of us will, in theory, be around. So now I have a couple of months to consider what I plan to do. Thursday, July 16, 2009. 6 best girlfriends, 4 best guy friends. I sta...

THE LIST: the 6 month rule
http://gripelist2009.blogspot.com/2011/08/6-month-rule.html
Smart words about dumb things. Monday, August 29, 2011. The 6 month rule. It's been awhile, I know. I've been incredibly busy with mostly mundane life-tasks, and in a mostly reflective mood- not one that was incredibly conducive to writing anything funny or non-personal. It's a journal-keeping, staring out windows, listening to Radiohead's. Truthfully, I still feel like my life is very. Which is so silly because a.) I'm 23, and b.) I already "got out of here" so to speak, if "here" represents the...It ca...

THE LIST: October 2010
http://gripelist2009.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Smart words about dumb things. Saturday, October 30, 2010. They are quite possible the most dead form of art there is (besides alien-adventure-end-of-the-world blockbusters). They are incredible wastes of money, a drain on your wallet and your mind. The acting is usually bad, the writing even worse. I do love a good chick flick every once in awhile, but they are so dang predictable. In the last year they have been bad ( When in Rome. Badder ( You Again. To baddest ( The Backup Plan. There will be a super...

THE LIST: March 2011

Smart words about dumb things. Thursday, March 31, 2011. In case you slept for the entire month of March (and I'm sincerely so jealous if you did), this would be the only thing you missed (besides that pesky "war" in Libya). You got it, it's the super cool remix of Rebecca Black's FRIDAY, with a new spin: GANG FIGHT! Anywho, if any of you are like me, you're living on a budget. A pretty tight one. There are lean weeks, and leaner weeks (usually when I pay my rent). But you know what? 5 My roommate and I ...

THE LIST: things that are currently driving me nuts (the art of hyperbole)
http://gripelist2009.blogspot.com/2011/09/things-that-are-currently-driving-me.html
Smart words about dumb things. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Things that are currently driving me nuts (the art of hyperbole). Having to feed myself every day. The insane crowd at 59th street every afternoon while trying to transfer from the n-q-r to the 6 (a train which, by the by, transports more people on a daily basis than the entire DC Metro and Boston T COMBINED). My empty bank account. Not being able to stop reading stupid news websites that basically illustrate the coming of the apocalypse. Carrie...

THE LIST: a nail-biter
http://gripelist2009.blogspot.com/2011/06/nail-biter.html
Smart words about dumb things. Friday, June 10, 2011. This may or may not be a confession: I have an oral fixation. Now Before you get all excited, let me just explain that its not a. Oral fixation. I'm talking the nail-biting, pen-chewing, thum-sucking, ice crunching, food stuffing, and occational cigarette smoking. Anything that involves mindless hand-to-mouth action (again.not meant to be dirty). Don't bite your nails! Good It is gross. How did I do it, you ask? So glad you did. You can do it :).

THE LIST: this article is a joke, right?
http://gripelist2009.blogspot.com/2011/09/this-article-is-joke-right.html
Smart words about dumb things. Thursday, September 1, 2011. This article is a joke, right? Please, someone tell me that this New York Times op-ed. Is of the school of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal. And this author isn't really suggesting that 'ugly' people should be treated as minority or disabled groups. I mean I'm all bleeding heart and liberal and believe in justice and all of that, but.suing a company based on the fact that you believe you were too ugly to work there? But give a 7th grade girl w...

THE LIST: May 2011

Smart words about dumb things. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. It's been awhile. Come here often? You look great. No, seriously. That top looks amazing on you. I've been a little.sad recently. And the 'sadness' has really curbed my want to write in a public way. I hope you understand. It's funny, the purpose of my blog is basically to write about things that suck, and then when I'm actually feeling sucky, I really don't want to write about it. Tuesday, May 17, 2011. I've been in a funk (see last post). In the int...
