there's gold in them thar- oh my gosh!- hills

"see, what you have to do is find a really hot girl who was really ugly in high school. that's like striking gold! because not only are you dating a really hot girl but you're dating a really hot girl with low self esteem!" -my sister's old roommate's ex-boyfriend my internal reactions in very particular order... "oh my gosh, what a pig!" "oh my gosh, he's got a point!" "oh my gosh, i'm a pig!"

grandma was showing me a photo album on saturday and it was then that i came to a horrifying realization. i was not an attractive baby. tragedy. goofy picture after goofy picture... who would have guessed i would blossom into the stunning creature i am today? indeed. it made me think of that scene in "arrested development" where lindsay talks about her business venture "mommy, what will i look like?". i wanted to link to it, but stupid youtube is no longer the video clip piazza it once was. i found various reenactments of "a.d." scenes made by friendless, talentless preteens. and also porn. but no actual clip of what i wanted. people would bring in their babies and then, using high tech equipment, lindsay would print out a picture of what the baby would look like as an adult- cut back to lindsay telling michael, "well, if you bring an ugly child in, you can't get mad when an ugly adult comes out." anyways, thanks to my blog stalking skillz

" ... the angels ? " genericname mcskeptico laughed at me and said she'd figure it out and call me back. okay, so ya, perhaps the powers-that-be have more pressing issues like starving children and war torn countries and perhaps a twenty-somethin

dating is like... ...job-hunting. you spend hours online and off in search of something ideal, with the right buzzwords and salary range. ...gambling. sooner or later you realize that what you’ve been doing has been largely a crapshoot. ...dermatology. you could get burned if you don’t protect yourself. ...traffic. you sit there and see no progress. ...a box of chocolates. you pick up one of those hot-looking pieces and it ends up being an orange crème. ...a journey to the island of misfit singles. thank you google.com because there is no subject that can't have substantial breadth added to it by going to google. and i'm only 70% saying that to lay a foundation of suck-upitude which will no doubt come in handy after the robot uprising inevitably occurs. that's right, after the revolution i will so be on their good side. all right. i like to think most of you are not wondering when i'm going to start talking about dating because by now you're used to my ten
