I was flipping through the channels today and was shocked to see everybody’s favorite Gossip Boy Dan Humphrey looking considerably less groomed in the Oscar award-winning film ‘John Tucker Must Die.’ Who knew?
so this is happening.
this is sarah's tumblr, for other sarahs and non-sarahs, too.

I got 'dude'd
So I just got called ‘dude’ in an email from a guy that I was potentially interested in.
I’m assuming that means he wants to be friends.
Neighbor, friend
Last night as I was settling into bed around 1, my neighbor Lauren came home. We share a fairly thin wall, and sometimes I can hear what’s going on over there. Last night was a whole different story. She was SCREAMING on the phone about some guy who had been a jerk to her. I could hear every single word, and it sounded like a rough night. I couldn’t get to sleep at all. When her frustrated ‘ARGH!’ reached new decibels, I decided to get out of bed and knock on her door, to ask her politely to take it down a few notches.
As soon as she answered, all thoughts of asking her to be a little quieter went out the window. This girl Lauren is really nice - I’ve met her a couple times in passing - young, and pretty. When she answered the door, she was still wearing her holiday dress (a cute black cocktail dress). Her hair was all done, and her makeup too, but she still just looked crushed. She immediately started apologizing.
Lauren: I’m so sorry, was I keeping you up? I’m so so sorry. (its to be assumed she ascertained this fact based on my braless, contact-less, pajama-pant clad ensemble)
Me: (changing tone) No it’s totally fine, I just wanted to make sure you were ok.
Lauren: Are you serious?
Me: Yeah I mean, I just heard you yelling and it sounded like a rough night.
Lauren: Oh yeah, that. I just got denied by two guys, so. (this hits home with me)
Me: At a holiday party or something?
Lauren: Yeah.
Me: Those guys are idiots. You look beautiful (she did).
Lauren: (in disbelief) Wow, thank you. Are you serious with this?
Me: (laugh) Yeah I mean, I’ve been there. I’m sorry you had a rough night.
Lauren: Oh my god you are so sweet.
Me: (sincere) No big deal, I just wanted to check on you.
Lauren: (sincere) You are my new joy.
Me: (laughs - this is an odd statement, but touching) Well feel better, ok? Those guys are idiots (I am eloquent).
Lauren: Thanks so much.
Me: Of course.
*doors close*
Considering a good amount of my ‘conversations’ are done via IM, email and text messages, it was a breath of fresh air to have a real life conversation with a relative stranger, and to instantly bond over a life experience with someone I hardly knew. She was so taken aback that I took the time to see that she was okay, she was basically speechless. It shouldn’t be that shocking of a concept, should it? I think I’m going to knock on her door more often.

I think there should be rule that restaurants cannot produce menus that are longer than half the width of their tables. You should be able sit across from someone without any menu overlap.

This is a comically absurd amount of bread to come with a single dish. It’s literally a loaf and a half.

You know you work at a website when it invades your vernacular.

I downloaded Super Mario 3 onto my Wii and haven’t stopped playing since. I’m obsessed.

Found this gem while looking for a 90s photo for our CH picture contest. Let me tell you, that teal fanny pack was the SHIT in the apparent Indian Village I am visiting.

Just saw Juno
It was amazing. “One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time,” says me. It comes out next week, I recommend everyone see it. “It’s this year’s Garden State,” says an asshole.
But seriously, it’s fantastic. Ellen Page is incredible, Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, everyone. Just….go.

Pathetic but true
- Mom: Guess what they're including in the new Target down the road?
- Me: I dunno...a McDonalds?
- Mom: Nope. A CHILI'S.
- Me: Shut the fuck up.
- Mom: No, I'm serious!
- Me: This is the best news I've heard all day.
- Mom: Yay! Now you'll come visit me more often!
