I AM IN SUCH A BAD MOOD TODAY
If it were up to me, I would get stoned and watch the 5 episodes of Intervention I have on the DVR and listen to Modest Mouse and LCD Soundsystem all night.
But it is not up to me.

more on those indy spirit awards!
I have updated my original post on the awards. THANK YOU to you awesome people who have sent in nominations, please continue to do so!
I am going to keep accepting them until the 12th (I extended it for one more week so I can get more nominations). This will give me enough time to plan out my prizes (although I already know the prize for the Best Smut Tumblr). If you have ideas for prizes,...
we were just accidentally watching star trek: TNG
I’m at my cousin’s house in a suburb of Boston, MA. She is filing her nails and on the phone with a friend on the graveyard shift. She was just saying “Fuck those people with their identical scarves.” We just had a bottle of wine, two Presidente beers, and a whole package of frozen boneless buffalo wings. She caught me up on Lipstick Jungle, too.
I’M SURE YOU WISH...

SVU!

i wonder if anyone made money
My cousin really likes this band called paramore. It’s this pop sound that’s so perfect for high school. That’s all it reminds me of, like no one over 21 should be allowed to hear this frequency. It’s tailor made for driving, which is what she’s doing, so you know, makes sense. It’s not too bad, but…it’s so generic. Like out of an MTV kit.
need a little tiny bit of tech support
Can someone help me over email with my macbook? I am usually really smart about this stuff and can self diagnose, but my computer is crawling. I bought more RAM, installed it (with Dad’s help, he knows nothing about computers but is very handy and helped me physically install it). I feel like there’s somewhere I’m not checking, something I’m not doing. I cleaned up my...
Top 10 most annoying Americanisms :: Toby Harnden →
WHY do people get so annoyed about “Happy Holidays”? It’s always really crochety old men who probably also use the word “Oriental”. People are different and sometimes language needs to reflect that. Get over it, Grandpa.

All I have to say about this is that I surely hope not everyone in the UK is as intolerant and annoying as Toby. As my...
start nominating, please
I know it’s Saturday night.
I made an official form, but my tester has been having some problems with it, so if you do, just email me at dancethis@gmail.com with your nominations.
You’ll notice I’ve added two categories:
Best Group Tumblr
and
Write In Categories (this can be anyone, for anything you want)
I will close nominations in a week, January 5. And then I’ll...
awards!
I’m going to make a form to submit for awards tomorrow..
PLEASE DISSEMINATE
In talking to a few other tumblr people (okay, why do I lie, just one!) we realized we didn’t know many of the blogs listed on Tumblr Awards. So what to do? Since I have had 3 glasses of chardonnay and just watched a very inspiring What Not To Wear (US) (YES I AM A LIFETIME MOVIE. Fuck off, I love cold wine and being inspired!.) I am going to spearhead an Independent Spirit of Tumblr Awards. Not...
On getting the munchies at your dads house.
Currently waiting for Mom to go to bed so I can do the same.
jimrock:
I feel it is my unalienable right when staying at my parent’s houses to wait for them to go to bed, get completely trashed and eat stupid amounts of their food. It is my RIGHT goddamnit.
I just paid for a tumblr program for my new iPhone. I feel dirty.
We’re headed to the maill in two separate cars. I’m in the minivan with the women, my saucy older aunt is in the truck with dad and my uncle. She just called my moms cell phone: “we’re listening to music and swearing here with the men! What are you girls doing, praying?”
SINGLE.
Yes, those appear to be low standards.

'Gilmore Girls' producer sues WBTV →
tylercoates:
barthel:
But the producer is not Amy Sherman-Palladino or Daniel Palladino. An interesting little glimpse into what went down behind the scenes on that show, leading to the creators getting kicked off after the sixth season. Coincidentally, the WB claims that the only season the show ran a profit was the seventh, the one without the creators attached. (N.B. This is not actually...
i am hormonal.
Everything is making me want to cry.
i want more tumblr male eye candy
I’m so sick of this place being 10,000 hot women and 5 dudes, which is pretty much the ratio at any liberal arts college. So there you go: Oberlin truly did prepare me for life.
drum & bass is my guiltiest pleasure
kids these days
When growing up, my parent’s house in Brooklyn was the center of epic Christmas Eve parties. Most of my memories of it revolve around being cramped into my bedroom with a million other screaming kids, waiting what seemed like an eternity until 12am, which is when we were allowed to open gifts.
Over the years as people started to migrate into the suburbs (namely, from the city to Jersey),...
It’s just another step in Tumblr’s full on conversion to Livejournal, where this kind of thing is rampant and when December 25th & 26th becomes a sea of “I just got a digital camera” blurry photos.
poortaste:
In my humble opinion, it is in poor taste to to list off what you got for Christmas to the tumblr-verse.

Ravenous Romance - The Lust Chronicles Anthology →
If you want to give an embarassing gift or just want to tell someone you want to bone them, please buy the Lust Chronicles! My story is in there and it’ll be just like buying me a 50 cent cup of coffee at a NYC deli!

Merry holiday overeating! →
An antidote in anticipation of the OMG I ATE SO MUCH posts or the “How to avoid indulging in food, you fat cow” posts followed by the “How to lose the 15 pounds you gained during Christmas”.
I’m not talking about Tumblr, because my dashboard is very free of diet talk and is a very food friendly place, but the rest of the Internet is a triggering mindfuck during the...
difficult women
I pity the long line of customer service reps and other service employees who have had to deal with my mom. One of the burners on her (electric, which is baffling to me, considering my mom is super old school with her cooking and won’t even use a Cuisinart. everything is done by hand. ) stove is broken and they sent out a repair person from Sears to fix it.
I guess there is some missing...

Then you’re not really looking for a comedian, now are you? Comedy is self hatred on display.
Drop the ipod, listen to the city →
The link in this reblog is to a post that is a really long treastise against using iPods. I can’t even begin to comprehend this. I had a walkman in junior high on the buses in Brooklyn, a discman on the subway as a NYC high school kid and I will forever have my iPod as an adult. I work things out, start mentally writing or just (and this is how it usually goes) stage elaborate music videos....
Chicken nuggets are probably the easiest food to find vegetarian replicas of. But may I recommend this amazing McDonald’s commercial about mcnuggets? I’m kind of sad it got ignored the first time I posted it, but I think it’s hilarious.

As someone who has cheated, I can say this: no one gets out alive. The guilt will consume you. And no, it had nothing to do with how I felt for him, what I was looking for wasn’t something I could find in another person; I just didn’t know it at the time.
