Yah, there’s a difference between “sexually liberated (you)” and “effing slut (Lena)”.
A quote from her blog:
“No more guys with girlfriends (mostly), no more crazy exes (again, mostly), no more popping Plan B like candy (even though its’s yum).”
They have this great new stuff, it’s called birth control. Slutbag.
Why such vitriol towards Lena Chen? She’s free...

“Atheism: A non-prophet organization.”

New Year's Meme
In 2008, I gained: a better sense of who I could depend on. I lost: 12 pounds. I stopped: drinking. I started: liking dogs! (Or at least, Hamlet.) I was hugely satisfied by: my decision to not work over the summer (a first since I was 15!) And frustrated by: not writing enough. I am so embarrassed that I: ended up with a Yalie. Okay, not really. Once again, I: managed to attention whore without...

Just to clarify.
I was not being serious in this post. A reader emailed me about it and I wrote, “My post was made in jest. To me, relating jihad to all Muslims is about as accurate as relating WWII military tactics to all Germans”

Boston Symphony Orchestra tickets for $20
Grab ‘em while you can. I’m going every month this spring:
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, $20 tickets are available now through the remainder of the Boston Symphony Orchestra season for patrons under 40 years of age. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis on both the orchestra and balcony levels.

The Blueprint Myth
First off, a disclaimer: I’ve never tried the Blueprint Cleanse myself. However, one of my friends recently did and after I visited the website/conducted some independent research, I was pretty surprised that she thought it was a good idea. Blueprint is basically the juice version of Nutrisystem. For those unfamiliar with weight loss programs, Nutrisystem is a diet program that delivers...

Jason: blitzkrieg on your pussy
Me: there's already a jihad there
Aw, I miss Heidelberg!
I had three hours when I got off the plane and I totally could’ve visited Heidelberg! Okay, not really. But I’m feeling nostalgic for Kennedy and our German adventures this summer. I can’t believe I actually went through with buying a plane ticket to Germany with the intent of squatting in my best friend’s dorm for five weeks. In retrospect, this could’ve totally...
This is my sixth time in Frankfurt International...
I could probably walk around without the English subtitles. Also, the navigation is SO much more intuitive than any American airport I’ve been in.

IMing with the lushy bestie
Jason thinks I should spend my layover getting drunk and greet Patrick with puke. Good idea, best friend!
Yay for Layovers!
Against all odds (okay, it actually wasn’t that unlikely), I found an American willing to let me borrow his converter and MacBook charger. YESSSS. Otherwise, I’d be stranded in Frankfurt International for the next two hours waiting for my connecting flight.
Also, I am entirely useless when it comes to Mandarin. At passport control, the agent next to mine asked me if I could translate...

Why women shouldn't say 'I love you' first →
(via christineyu):
From the article:
This issue can cause a bit of commotion. “What is this, the Victorian era?” wrote one person, “if you truly love someone, tell them. Otherwise you’re just playing outdated coquettish games.” Another put it more diplomatically: “I don’t think I’ve ever said ‘I love you’ first, but someone has to do it. It’s okay to take a few risks.”
I appreciate both...
The To Do List Has Been Done
I got back to the Internet-less apartment at the early, early hour of 7:30am. Since then, I have:
Photocopied and mailed in my application for MassHealth (hurray, insurance!)
Dropped off items at the local consignment store
Wrapped belated gifts for friends and lover (please note the singular)
Grabbed soup and bread for lunch and an apple turnover for on-flight snacking purposes
Paid my...

At LAX.
Dear Daniel,
That T-Mobile account is the best thing I’ve ever gotten out of a relationship. There’s a reason you’re my favorite ex.
Love,

My little sister is a design genius.
She is responsible for the background and the title image for TheChicktionary.com’s new design. I made the polaroids with Poladroid and Photoshop.
(Also, despite a few protests, I switched my theme to Roboturner. I like it better this way.)

“Pope Benedict XVI has said that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behaviour is just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction.
He explained that defending God’s creation was not limited to saving the environment, but also about protecting man from self-destruction.”
Oh, Benedict, baby. You wear a dress and a funny hat. Seriously, now?
My friend Johnny's summary of Slumdog Millionaire...
Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Girl watches “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” Boy goes on show. Boy wins game and girl. Cue Indian music video. The end.
Not quite as simple as that. I enjoyed it!

I'm not terribly excited about Christmas.
This might be because I’m in rainy Southern California, which is neither festive nor as warm as expected. Oh, and did I mention I don’t get wifi at home? It’s still out. I can’t do work. I can’t Skype with Patrick. I can’t do anything. Merry fucking Christmas.
Sneaking in Snackies to the Theater
Me: What if I hide the mochiko chicken in my backpack?
Henry: They check backpacks for weapons.
Me: What? Do I look like I would sneak in a weapon to the theater?
Henry: No, but you definitely look like you'd sneak in mochiko chicken.

Oh my god, frosh year redux.
It’s like the Cocks of Christmas Past have come back to haunt me. Go away and quit trying to penetrate my friends while you’re at it.
