“In the end, I just I don’t understand why I should have to feel bad about systematically derailing a perfectly fun evening out with friends. If I can’t have way too much to drink, get angry over the lack of attention I’m receiving, and then, spurred on by my own insecurities, act like a pompous fuck, what’s the point of having friends at all?”

Please don’t ever pronounce the word “niche” as “neesh.” I’ve been hearing it all day today. WTF is wrong with people?

Maybe If You Had A Real Life, You Wouldn’t Be So Upset?
YEAH. I don’t have a real life and still don’t give a smack. So…there.
What is even the point of complaining? Every 6 months Facebook changes, everyone acts like the WORLD IS ENDING, then a couple weeks later they’re used to it and it’s no big.
I feel like they’re always going to complain...

“I watched the Daily Show with growing shock last night. Did you expect that? I expected a jolly and ultimately congenial discussion, after some banter. What Cramer walked into was an ambush of anger. He crumbled from the beginning. From then on, with the almost cruel broadcasting of his earlier glorifying of financial high-jinks, you almost had to look away. This was, in my view, a real...

The drugs don’t surprise me — I’ve been to the parking lot of a Phish concert (long story). But that much cash on a group of hippies? I don’t care how many of them there were, this has to be a record.

I’m continually impressed by the accuracy of Stuff White People Like. I’m also incredibly embarrassed to be such a stereotypical white person. Unfortunately, the more I try to resist it, the closer I resemble the stereotype. I wish I knew how to break the cycle. Oh, irony.

Tristan: You'd think he could afford to get a high school student to design a better one.
me: It's a fan site.
Tristan: Well, my initial impression was more interesting.
me: I still find it weird that someone loves Macgyver so much that she would set up that site. It's not even old. It's still being updated. I mean, really?
Tristan: Probably an old person
me: I guess that explains why it's a GeoCities site.
Tristan: hahahaha. I had one of those before. A Star Wars fan site.
me: That's the worst kind of GeoCities site.
Tristan: I'd argue the worst kind of GeoCities site would be a JTT site.

Confession
Earlier this morning when “Meet Virginia” randomly played on Last.fm, I didn’t ban it. I didn’t even skip it. I let if play all the way through, and I actually enjoyed it. I stopped short of “loving” it. I’m just not ready to admit that I suck badly enough to be a Train fan.
I’m ashamed of myself nonetheless. Is this what getting old is like? Do you...
